returning to much loved albums of your youth

[c2c]

recently i have had something of a musical renaissance, inspired by boredom with my current playlist, and returned to a much loved album of my youth.................. Made in Japan by Deep Purple.


When i was in my mid teens this album moved me and i played it to death.

What would be your much loved album from your youth ?

 

[Andy in Sig]

There are a handful of albums which have never "gone away" as it were for me. They include in no particular order:

Focus III by Focus
Calling Card and Blueprint by Rory Gallagher
Malpractice by Dr Feelgood
Blow By Blow by Jeff Beck
Layla by Derek and the Dominoes
Solid Air and Grace And Danger by John Martyn
Let It Bleed, Get Yer Ya Yas Out, Sticky Fingers, Exile On Main St and It's Only Rock And Roll all of course by the Stones.

Some albums returned to from your youth prove to be a sad disappointment. Marc Bolan and Ian Hunter, I'm looking at you. But the one I returned to and loved as much as I did when I was a young kid was Beggars Banquet by the Stones. I heard it again after a gap of more than 20 years and it still possessed the power to blow me away. A stuPENdous album. I regard this as my all-time favourite.

Led Zep III - then from a few years later, Heat Treatment - Graham Parker and the Rumour or Sunburst Finish - Be Bop Deluxe. Sunburst Finish probably edges it.

Sad disappointments - buying up cheap Strawbs albums and realising they hadn't improved with age.

Surprisingly enjoyable - any early Yes.

One for the reggae fans (if there are any) - Pounding Systems by Dub Syndicate. I used to listen to it all the time.

I had it on vinyl since it came out in the late 80s but recently a mate who is in the music business offered to transfer it properly to quality digital format and it sounds amazing.

I hadn't heard it since I last had a record player (over 10 years ago)

Recently did the same with Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables by The Dead Kennedys - and forgot how good it was.

Yes indeed, Beggars' Banquet is excellent. My favorite Stones one is Get Yer Ya Yas Out.

My teenage angst album of choice was Stormcock by Roy Harper. It still sounds incredibly good.

The Smiths
Bummed
Back in the DHSS
The Moon looked down and Laughed

and lots and lots of others,

I was going to buy tickets to see the Strawbs until I played Deep Cuts. Record went back in its sleeve quite quickly and the tickets remain unpurchased.

Still love playing my Yes albums and will be seeing them in Sheffield in the autumn.

I went to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland Ohio this week.

It is something that should be on the "bucket list" for all music lovers ( Ok, rock music lovers)

Listening to so many clips of music from the inductees has really renewed my interest in the music of my past

www.rockhall.com

So many great songs & so many memories.

And no, I never saw Billie Holiday or Lois Armstrong in concert in my youth ( I did see Rick Astley, but he some how has been overlooked for the Hall of Fame

 

[Melonfish]

The Offspring - Smash
Green day - Dookie
Guns & Roses - Appetite for Destruction
Metallica - Metallica (but more Ride the lightning)
Green Jelly - Cereal Killer
Iron Maiden - Fear of the dark (and the entire back catalogue)
Pop will eat itself - Dos Dedos Mes Amigos
Radiohead - Pablo Honey

and the list goes on.
