Legend by Bob Marley, Thriller and Off The Wall by Michael Jackson and Sign Of The Times by Prince. The Chronic by Dr Dre is excellent as well. Marc Bolan's stuff is pretty good. There are lots more that are pretty good.

Bruce Springsteen, 'Born to Run' 1975.
Blondie, 'Parallel Lines' 1978.

Both made around the same time as me

Pretty much all of the music I listen to would fall into that category.

When I was a kid I was totally obsessed with Jeff Wayne's War Of The Worlds and I memorised the entire narrative of it.

"No-one would have believed, in the last years of the nineteenth century, that human affairs were being watched from the timeless worlds of space.
No-one could have dreamed that we were being scrutinized, as someone with a microscope studies creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water.
Few men even considered the possibility of life on other planets.
And yet, across the gulf of space, minds immeasurably superior to ours regarded this earth with envious eyes.
And slowly, and surely, they drew their plans against us"

Dun Da-dun dah...

If my brain wasn't filled with that crap, I bet there'd be room for stuff like my bank details and internet passwords.

The words spoken by Richard Burton, just give it so much meaning

'Help' and 'A Hard Day's Night' by the Beatles

Fantastic three minute long boy meets girl pop songs..........for when you get a bit jaded with Sergeant Peppers, Pink Floyd and Beethoven.......and just want something simple and sing-a-long

The The - Infected. Sounds as good today as it did then and at times is just as relevant.

The Cramps - 'Smell of Female' Not a bad track on it. Probably my favourite live album.

I also love Was Not Was 'Are You OK' but that does sound a bit 80's.

Honorable mention to Malcolm McLaren's 'Fans' - a gateway into Opera but I do prefer the arias on there in their 'natural' state these days.

Another vote for War of the Worlds, Parallel lines & Legend.

I'm rediscovering lots on Spotify too. Little embarrassed to admit Belinda Carlyle's Runaway Horses falls into that Category

52nd Street, Songs in the Attic and The Stranger, all by Billy Joel.

The best of the Carpenters

I didn't buy an album or CD for years until I heard Keane, bought Hopes & Dreams and regularly listen to it. It never grows old for me.

There are some albums, considered to be classics, that didn't interest me much when I was younger but which I have discovered as my taste changed and, perhaps, matured. I now listen to them regularly.

Two of those are Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars by David Bowie and Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy by Elton John. Better Off Dead... what a great song!

Single-wise, I could never get tired of hearing Hotel California by The Eagles. To me it is one of the best records ever made.

I listen to a lot of music from years ago but I cannot go more than a week or so without listening to ASTRAL WEEKS - Van Morrison. It, to me, is just sublime especially the tracks Madam George and Ballerina.

I have hardly listened to my older albums this year because there has been so much brilliant music released this year.
