I like most of these albums. The only one I've listened to at all recently is Abbey Road, and that was only because I working in a wine bar at the time

There'll come a time every so often that I'll stick one of these albums on but, the longer I've been familiar with them, moments like that become fewer and further between.

1. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - The Beatles

Good thread. I'll give it a go. I just omitted the ones I haven't been around to yet.

1. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - The Beatles
When I was in Liverpool in March, 2011.

2. Pet Sounds - The Beach Boys
On some train platform somewhere in the UK in March.

3. Revolver - The Beatles
Um. Hell. Probably just shy of a year ago?

10. The Beatles ("The White Album") - The Beatles
Months ago. Not sure how many. Too lazy to check RYM and see.

14. Abbey Road - The Beatles
A couple of months ago. This is the only album on the list so far I listen to regularly, or would say I love.

25. Rumours - Fleetwood Mac
Maybe six months ago.

26. The Joshua Tree - U2
Maybe 3 months ago.

30. Blue - Joni Mitchell
Maybe a month ago.

I love Then Play on. I really do. It's somewhere in my album top 50 I think.
I don't even play it that often, but it's a brilliant album if you ask me.

Ok I take that back.

On your list you`ve got Black Sabbath, Blue Oyster Cult, Hendrix, Maiden, Styx, Kansas, Pink Floyd, Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Saxon, Stranglers and my god Ten Years After! I like you again! I`m puzzled though, I was under the impression that you didn`t like metal, or are you one of those people that only likes classic era metal of the 1970s and early 1980s?

Haha, see? I may not talk about music that much, I know.
I like to listen and learn from you guys. I don't feel like I can teach you much . But I do know my way around good music, really.

Got to admit, Styx is sort of there for boat on the river. Sorry for that .

About Ten Years After. I love Ten Years After... Stonedhenge is DEFINITLY in my top 50.
Only... I always go "Ten Years After, John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers, Old Fleetwood Mac".
So to me it makes... No sense to me that you like Ten Years After but not Fleetwood Mac. How strange! I do see a big smilarity between those bands. Am I hearing something that isn't there? Or have you just heard the wrong tracks? I dunno.

Don`t underestimate yourself, looking at your list, you can probably teach some people quite a bit, there`s a lot of great classic and forgotten releases on it.

That Styx album btw, is easily their poorest from their mid to late 1970s golden era, as is only really on there because it contained "Babe", the rest of the album is quite bland.

I never said I disliked the original FWM, just that I preferred the second incarnation (proper) of the band. I`m actually a huge fan of blues rock in general, but I happen to think that a lot of the artists of that genre performed far better live than they did on their studio recordings. Ten Years After are a perfect example.
