Me too:lol:
Cheers Fender. 
Nice to know you’re still liking some of this music. If people posted and not simply ‘looked in’ though, it would mean I still have something to go on. Otherwise, it’s like a production line with me blindly throwing on albums wondering if anybody is bothering to read about them.
Sweetie Pie too - I know you’re not a connoisseur as such, but at least you’re posting (even though you’ve probably never heard of most of this crap, lol!)
Oh, I say Floydy, I would never be so rude, even if I thought that.
We know someone that would mind.
Three more to take us to the Top 40 and I’m reverting back to posting just the album sleeve and a few videos plus the minimum of talk about each album from me. It takes too long to supply information that sometimes takes me over half an hour to compile when I could be somewhere else not tied down to a bloody PC in all my free time. Let’s get this thing over with before my hols at the end of May.
Plodding on then…
No.43: “Rust Never Sleeps” by Neil Young & Crazy Horse (1979)
I didn’t even know this was a live album until I was looking for these videos. I thought that was “Live Rust”, which was released soon after this one. The songs are from Young’s archives and most were not available before. Apparently this record was performed live before an audience then had the applause removed prior to recording. Typical Neil Young madcap idea.

No.42: “Rubber Soul” by The Beatles (1965)
The mid-60’s album from the year The Beatles moved away from the boy band type songs and started writing proper lyrics. A splendid record.

No.41: “Misplaced Childhood” by Marillion (1985)
For me, Marillion’s best album. Two sides of a concept suite with some utterly beautiful melodies and wonderful playing from the band. Fish’s lyrics were never better also.

I’m now at a stage where I can either postpone this thread until after my holidays in late May, i.e. for a month, or continue at the risk of not completing it in time. I’ll decide tomorrow. It depends on public interest tbh.
I’ll look in. I reckon a few will agree.
But, think about it Floydy, it is quite hard work.
Well, do you have any views on any of these albums, Sweetie Pie? It’s very nice of you to post, but this isn’t really a chit chat thread, it’s designed for intelligent conversation about a particular subject. If serious music isn’t your thing, you are perhaps wasting your time in here, that’s all I’m trying to say.
It’s difficult sometimes mate.
If it’s music where you don’t particularly like it, then people may not comment. Even if it’s stuff they do like, I’m sure they listen to what you’ve posted and find it interesting.
This thread is probably more useful than you may think. For example, when you posted up The Stranglers, it made me realise I no longer had the tracks No more heroes and walk on by, which I promptly downloaded…
I realise it’s hard work, but it’s a very interesting thread.
Keep going Floydy, the big guns are appearing , Echoes, Shamrock Diaries, Marillion, I for one am second guessing you now.
I see Chas Chandler produced that Hendrix record ,was that the last before Slade?I wonder.He was only in his fifties when he died, plenty more years to do other musical stuff.
Beatles and Neil Young,would have been higher up my list(if I had one :))
Floydy if you are not enjoying it give it a break.Enjoy what’s left of the British summer
I really appreciate this thread, Floydy, and have learned so much by working my way through.
Actually, it would be good to know if you are reading between the lines or forming some kind of process of elimination scenario with what has now gone and what could be left to see? Don’t worry, you can guess, but I won’t tell either way. My lips are sealed to the end guys 
Interesting about Chas Chandler…anyone Google him yet?
Beatles, neil Young higher…not those two but…maybe?
And on the subject of the thread itself and my ever-growing madness, I feel like some kind of 17th Century composer, some tortured genius doing this. All grey hair everywhere, tearing it out. Mad eyes a-staring wildly a la Beethoven. Crikey! :shock::shock::shock:
No, it’s not quite like that yet. I have my moments and I can be a moody bugger but this thread will survive (hear that, Art? It will last. lol). I don’t think I can postpone it though as it would then be on my mind, so we will crack on tomorrow with some more wonderful albums.
Never Too Young To Rock And Roll, Never Too Old To Die! Rock on…
Oops, just missed you there, Tabby.
Wish I knew though, because sometimes love, it’s as if I’m ploughing away until my fingertips are bleeding in the mud. Don’t worry, and thanks for your support, it’s been a long hard road.
God, that sounds like a Bon Jovi record…everybody’s on that ‘midnight train’.

Starts tomorrow.
…or now actually.
Just before I go back to the TV then….
No.40: “Tubular Bells” by Mike Oldfield (1973)
Wrote and composed at age 17, recorded and played 42 different instruments at aged 20. Incredible isn’t it? What other child prodigy can you name who could accomplish a feat like this in music?
Despite all the inevitable rehashes of the album in all it’s weird and wonderful forms, the original Tubular Bells is a masterpiece. No doubt about it.

More tomorrow
Scolded AGAIN:shock:
I will be honest Floydy, I listen to the music after I have logged off. Many are before my time, and as I mostly have a preference for American imports of those bygone years, I am catching up on what I missed.
If you prefer, I will no longer post. I will NOT take offence.
I listen to the few that ive not heard before, but dont comment much as i do not share most of your taste in music, plenty here do, and they will help sustain you.
I hoped you would give yourself a break so you came back re-energised.
Its a herculean task you set yourself.
You’re one of the regular contributors here, Nom and I appreciate that. The main thing is that you converse about the music contained and don’t treat every thread like posting on Facebook. That’s the difference.
I’ll carry on with this until my holidays, then after my break finish things off in here and leave the forum through summer.
