Friday, as always, is chill out night, which often means music night.
We‘ve done every angle of music on here, but recently it’s been singles and bands.
So to albums. I was having a Google re the Chilli Peppers as their album By The Way is a massive favourite of mine and it transpires it’s 20 years old this week 🫤 crikey, seems like yesterday. So my favourite 3

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, Lauryn Hill

By The Way , Chilli Peppers

AM, Arctic Monkeys

Always subject to possible change but these will always be on my list of top ten.

So what’s yours ?

An ulterior motive for posting this is because all the politics sh+te is bumming me out right now 🫤

Sun collection yes. I've always wanted to like Wish You Were Here but never quite go there.

I’ve named Dire Straits and Pink Floyd basically because I can’t choose for the life of me any other of my Rock n Roll/ Rockabilly albums, I love all my music , but it’s all about mood, if you get what I mean. Wish you were here is my favourite chilling album , any Straits when I’m working .

'Otherside' is a thing of greatness, Frusciante is perfection on that song, just incredible considering he was virtually dead two years before.

A volatile band, drugs and artistic genius and all that. Great for us, not so great for them.

Non stop erotic cabaret was ground breaking excellence. Feel a bit disloyal I didn’t put it in my top 3.

Soft Cell got me through my teenage years 👍

Can never decide between that and the title track as my favourite.

I'd vote for otherside in that situation.

Also, pretty little ditty is a tune and a half...

Newer albums - Shortly After takeoff - BC Camplight, Dragonblood - Gabriels, Joy as an act of resistance - Idles, Holiday Destination - Nadine Shah, Modern Medicine - Phobophobes, Dummy - Portishead, Standing at the skies edge - Richard Hawley,

You like China Crisis ?. Nice one. One of their songs, Christian. Is such a special song for me. Emotional attachment.
 
This is impossible Lala😉 Surely Top 300 albums! Anyway…
What’s Going On: Marvin Gaye. First album that made me listen, instead of just wanting to dance to.
Cloak & Dagger: Lee Scratch Perry and the Upsetters, liquid bliss.
Songs in the key of life: Stevie Wonder, covers everything music can offer. Genius.
