TubularBelle Group: Members Posts: 1487 Joined: April 2004 Posted: Jan. 29 2005, 01:56 Sorry if this has been done before but how about a TOP 10 album list not including Mike Oldfield. Here goes nothing. Classics 1.  Radiohead - OK Computer 2.  Best of Doobie Brothers 3.  So Far - Best of Sinead O'connor 4.  Peter Gabriel - Shaking the Tree 5.  Nirvana - Nevermind 6.  Michael Jackson - Dangerous (sorry, had to pick one) 7.  Kate Bush - The Whole Story 8.  Jeff Buckly - Grace 9.  Iron Butterfly - In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida 10.The very best of Cat Stevens Last 5 Years. 1.  Moby - Play 2.  Cold Play - Rush of Blood to the Head 3.  The Dissociatives 4.  Epicure - The Goodbye Girl 5.  Powderfinger - Odyssey Number Five 6.  The White Stripes - Elephant 7.  Cold Play - Parachutes 8.  George - Polyserena 9.  Hilltop Hoods - The Calling 10. Ben Harper - Burn to Shine WOW, that was difficult, and I cheated, sorry, but I made the rules so I can break the rules, he. Tracy. -------------- I hate getting up early. I didn't even realise there were two 6 o'clocks in one day! Back to top

raven4x4x Group: Members Posts: 1535 Joined: Jan. 2002 Posted: Jan. 29 2005, 03:33 I can do this one: 10.   Cirque du Soleil - Saltimbanco soundtrack 9.     The Beatles - Revolver 8.     Meatloaf - Bat out of Hell 7.     Pink Floyd - Meddle 6.     Yes - Fragile 5.     Harry Chapin - Verites and Balderdash 4.     Moby - Play 3.     The Who - Who's Next 2.     Pink Floyd - Animals 1.     Jeff Wayne - War of the Worlds If I was to include live albums, Yes - Keys to Ascension, Harry Chapin - Greatest Stories Live and Roger Waters - Live in the Flesh would be 3, 2 and 1 respectively (I like live albums). Amarok still beats them all though. I make no apologies for any of my choices and I am serious here: these are my top 10 non Oldfield albums.  Now I look at it it's a pretty funny looking list, and it isn't just the name 'Verites and Balderdash'. Nine artists and they're all completely different. All good musicians though (of course). -------------- Thank-you for helping us help you help us all. Back to top

olracUK Group: Members Posts: 1683 Joined: June 2003 Posted: Jan. 30 2005, 11:15 These lists can be so hard to do, and my list will probably change weekly. But the albums i play most regularly, and in no particular order are 1) Plastic Age/Adventures in Modern Recording - The Buggles 2) Closer to the Edge - Yes 3) Scissor Sistors 4) Play - Moby 5) War of the Worlds - Jeff Wayne 6) greatest Hits - Queen 7) Bladerunner OST - Vangelis 8) The Wall - Pink Floyd 9) So - Peter Gabriel 10) Slippery When Wet - Bon Jovi actually No 1 is cheating, it's 2 albums but as I only have on home made tape back to back (original vinyl long ago scratched) i've counted it. And I wasn't sure if greatest hits are allowed, but the Queen one is so good. -------------- The answer is 42 - but what is the question? Back to top

Guest Unregistered Posted: Feb. 13 2005, 07:22 I never liked it myself, but a chum of mine was always a fan, and I recently saw it and bought him a copy on a double cassette for 50 pence brand new. If anyone is interested (and lives in Birmingham) I bought it at the Swan market in South Yardley. Back to top

I'd better listen again. The main thing I recall was that "Forever Autumn" stood above the other tracks. -------------- "In the land of the Dacotahs, Where the Falls of Minnehaha Flash and gleam among the oak-trees, Laugh and leap into the valley." - Song of Hiawatha Back to top
