Bryan Ferry
In Your Mind (1977)
Boys and Girls (1985)

 

So here’s what I was just enjoying...

Boys and Girls and Avalon.

That’s my pairing.

 

Yep. My two faves from the BeeGees.

 

Bryan Ferry These Foolish Things is one of the most extravagantly bizarre produced albums from the 1970s & Ferry in his best Dracula has risen from the grave vocals but with enough emotion to sing for Motown...

Its a all covers album & it is Ferrys debut solo effort...


Clicks to pick;

A Hard Rains Gonna Fall

Sympathy For The Devil


The Bride Stripped Bare has a sound so big its a wonder the album wasn't a monster hit....

Reeling from his abrupt probably unexpected lose of girlfriend Jerry Hall to Mick Jagger Ferry came roaring back with this poignant somewhat bitter 1978 effort...

Every bit as good & mostly better than anything else from 1978-1979...

What Goes On

Can't Let Go

This Island Earth

 

I was about to post those; you nailed it.

 

Oh but that's cheating!

 

The Tubes S/T
Remote Control

 

The BeaTles

Rubber Soul
The BeaTles a.k.a. "The White Album"

 

I really liked idea and their 1st. Agree with your Odessa choice, horizontal was pretty good.

 

Queen - Sheer Heart Attack & The Game.

Heavy rock Queen and pop Queen at their best.

 

Free

Fire & Water
Free Live

F&W - is their hit and trademark album contains rock & ballads.
FL - Some shared tracks but hey it's Free so they must be represented live

 

Jeff Beck

Truth
Blow By Blow

The best and most cohesive lp with a vocalist 1968-73 & ..........
His first and still best instrumental album.

 

Oasis - Definitely Maybe and What's The Story...

 

The Jam - In The City & Setting Sons

 

Islands - Return to the Sea and Vapours

 

Damn, I just bought two of their albums and neither were those.

(I bought the MFSL two-fer of All Mod Cons and Sound Effects)

 

Stereolab- Transient Random-Noise Bursts with Announcements,
Dots and Loops

Yo La Tengo - President Yo La Tengo,
I am Not Afraid of You and I Will
Beat Your A$$.

The Cure - Three Imaginary Boys,
Seventeen Seconds

 

.

You've just bought two of the best Jam albums and my two favourites. Hope you enjoy them! You can't go too far wrong with The Jam.

 

Nothing wrong with those two at all!

 

Glad to hear that i didnt . . .

 

Pearl Jam: Ten and Binaural.

 

Gilbert O'Sullivan - While his later albums have many great songs, in my opinion his first two albums feature his best work:

• Himself (U. S. Version): The U. S. version replaced two okay songs ("Susan Van Heusen" and "Doing The Best That I Can") with two much better songs ("Alone Again (Naturally)" and "We Will") that were released as singles in the U. K.
  
• Back To Front
