• Nightflight to Venus by Boney M

    Nightflight to Venus by Boney M

    Funky as f*ck.

    I took a sidestep from my top 500 album countdown with this absolute banger of an album (maybe it appears higher on that list)

    Every song is golden.

    I can’t believe ive been enjoying the song Rasputin all these years without hearing it in the context of the album.

    The opening song “Nightflight to Venus” is to “Rasputin” as “Sirius” is to “Eye in the Sky”.

  • The Indestructible Beat of Soweto

    The Indestructible Beat of Soweto

    497/500

    I didn’t understand a word on the album. But that didn’t matter.

    I enjoyed it a lot. It became great background music to work to.

    I don’t think my leg stopped tapping from start to finish.

  • Suicide by Suicide

    Suicide by Suicide

    This album was okay to my ears. Some of the repetitive parts got a little boring for me.

    No disrespect — just not really my bag, this one. Maybe I’ll try a re-listen in the future.

  • Untitled post 177265

    Could “Stereotomy” by “The Alan Parsons Project” be one of the greatest albums ever recorded?

    I think so.

    The title track alone is incredible. And the closing refrain of the album being a condensed version of the same song – bringing the album back full circle is just top tier.

  • Absolute banger.

    Twilight of the Thunder God is a cracking name for an album.

    Amon Amarth are my new music obsession I think. 🤘

  • Been really digging this album today.

    Murder Ballads by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.

    Never really heard their / his stuff other than the title song from Peaky Blinders.

    This album is incredible and dark. Going to be investigating more of his stuff.

  • The other week I finally gave a full Motorhead album a go.

    “Rock n Roll”.

    Absolutely incredible. Which album would you recommend @malarkey? I know you’re a fan. 😊

  • My all time favorite album

    What’s your all-time favorite album?

    The Bends by Radiohead

    This is one writing prompt that has taken me a while to really think about.

    There’s a bunch of albums I could name that are in my top albums. However, trying to name a single all-time favorite album has been tricky.

    I decided in the end on “The Bends” by Radiohead.

    I love every single song on the album and each song flows perfectly into the next.

    Stand out songs

    Every song is a banger. But singling out a few I’d say these are my favorite off the album:

    • Just
    • My Iron Lung
    • Bones (used excellently in the TV series Derek)

    So glad I got to see these live at V Festival back in 2006.

    That was a while ago now.

    So much has changed since then.

    In fact, now I come to think about it, this album is one where I can remember specific times when I’ve lay there, often in the dark, and just listened to it through with headphones.

    It’s amazing what you remember when you sit to write something down.

  • Listened to Cut to Impress by Maggie Rose

  • Innuendo by Queen

    This album has resurfaced in my life and it just hits a lot differently than it did last time I heard it.

    Every song is an absolute banger that are bookended by two of my favorite Queen songs — Innuendo and The Show must go on.

    The lyrics of These are the days of our lives is especially poignant to me now as a father.

  • The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grace) — Eminem.

    First listen.

  • Nymphetamine album — Cradle of Filth

    Released in 2004, this is one of my favourite albums from my younger days.

    Thanks to a work mate, my love for this band has been re-ignited. I have been listened to their albums lots over the past couple of weeks, but this one has stood out to me above most.

    Possibly helped along from the nostalgia I feel for this album.

    Stand out songs for me

    • Track 2 — Gilded Cunt
    • Track 3 — Nemesis
    • Track 5 — Nymphetamine overdose
