Yeah, go for it Rich, no looking at what you listed before mind, let's see how the old memory holds up after a week or so, a Top 20 of favorite albums as well?

Just had another thought Rich, while your at home, hopefully with your feet up, now's the ideal time to fill in your profile, if you heven't already done it, that'll give us all something else to read eh!

Crumbs !! A top 20 albums is going to be difficult as I rarely play vinyl these days much to my shame. The i pod is more portable and practical. Anyway I'll do a list off the top of my (shiny ) head.

Nice one Rich, see the brain ran into terminal fatigue, hope your not mixing the anti biotics with the cider, you'll go Ga Ga! Seeing as you've got to keep your leg/legs upwardly inclined you sure its not gout? No that's a surfiet of red wine isn't it, I will have to cut down the intake! Hope you make a speedy recovery.

On the subject of cider, if you're ever in the area the Devon Cider Co. at Winkleigh do a nice drop, very reasonable price, bring your own barrel/tanker.

I know what you mean about the vinyl, I've got about 800 vinyl albums, close on 400 tapes, and probably another 500 CD's, I've just started transferring the vinyl & tapes onto hard disk for easier listening, electronically cleaning them as I go, should give me a hobby into advanced old age eh. But having suggested it here's me list, not in any particular order, and it will probably be different tomorrow, with one or two exceptions.

 

Baron von Tollbooth & the Chrome Nun by Paul Kantner, Grace Slick & co. - late psychadelic era, disjointed, brilliant.

Somewhere South of Wonder by Jeff Finlin. - Alternative Country.

Before These Crowded Streets by Dave Matthews Band. - cracking Jazz Rock.

After the Goldrush by Neil Young. - any N.Y album would have done I like most of his stuff.

Veedon Fleece by Van Morrison - one of Van's lesser known albums, one I always come back to.

Blood on the Tracks by Bob Dylan - a collection of short stories.

Together Alone by Crowded House - perfect, intelligent pop.

Trancendental Blues by Steve Earle - Hard edged country rock.

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes - a great album from a new band

Live from Vicar St. Dublin by Josh Ritter - american singer songwriter, massive in Ireland and they know their music.

Greatest Hits Vol.1 by The Byrds - enough said.

The Court of the Crimson King by King Crimson - English psychadelia.

Nursery Cryme - Genesis by English eccentricity.

Recall the Beginning A Journey from Eden by Steve Miller - pre commercial Steve Miller.

Born to Run - Bruce Springsteen & the East Street Band by the saviour of rock and roll?

Forever Changes by Love - a perennial favorite.

Greatest Hits by Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds. - some manic stuff on here.

Out in the Fields by Gary Moore - Gary's greatest hits.

In Search of the Lost Chord by Moody Blues - probably their best album, went off somewhat later on.

III by Led Zeppelin - can't have a best of list without Led Zep

 

That'll do for now, will post some comments on the pics Tony posted later, got to cook dinner now, (still got her arm in a sling).
