Floydy's All-Time Top 1000 Favourite Albums

A full update coming up in a few minutes then mate, once I get it sorted into A-Z order. It’s all on a Word doc so it’s only a matter of assembling it. It will split over four or five posts because of the character limit to these posts. Stand by.

Oh well. This weather has got to pick up by then mate. :slight_smile:

All done over three posts, so that’s good. I had to be extra careful not to post the WHOLE chart!

Floydy You missed out the page numbers in your album updates :043:

NB Crazy was written by Seal and Guy Sigsworth. Alanis only did that cover version.

Floydy I’m one of those dreadful lurkers, haven’t posted here for ages, but used to drop in for a lurk now and then. Since you’ve been posting your top 1000 albums I’ve been popping in most days. Thank you so much, you have reconnected me with some long lost loves, and introduced me to some new ones. My MP3 is almost bursting now.

Big, big thank you for sharing this labour of love.

Page numbers! Do you want the actual post numbers too? You know me bud, I would if I could.
Sadly, I can’t be assed;-)

Hi Maver-rik :slight_smile:
Nice to hear that there are some ‘lurkers’ on here in the background. Please post though, it’s great to see what you may like or not like, up to you though. As long as you are enjoying it :slight_smile:
It’s only a personal thing anyway, not a chart set in stone as to what people should like; just my favourites.
You will need a bigger MP3 player soon though mate, as there should be some of the true “recognised classics” coming up as we climb ever higher.
Thanks for your support buddy :slight_smile:

How are you doing those A-Zs Floydy? Are you typing them all out or using some sort of programme?

I used MS Word to plan out my original list. Now it’s in order I can highlight whichever column I need (number, artist, title, year) then click on the ‘A-Z’ icon on the top bar to assemble the list in any way I choose.
Normally I have the full list descending from No.1000 down to No.1 and scroll down as I post each one, shading the ones I’ve reached so far.
As it gets further down I’m actually hiding what comes next until I post it, to make it more exciting for me too!

With the A-Z lists, it’s just a matter of arranging the acts in alphabetical order and then converting from table to text format. But it’s in the artist’s first name order only.
I have to remember to do this from a copy though in case I (a) post the full list by mistake or (b) end up deleting it all :shock:

Okay, back on it…

No.350: “American Recordings” by Johnny Cash (1994)
This was the first album in the ultimately 7-CD (plus a box set) series of Johnny Cash’s comeback teaming with producer Rick Rubin. Much has been said in the other posts, so I’ll just post the vids. The second song here was written by Nick Lowe:

Thanks for explaining. :023:

No.349: “Forever Now” by Psychedelic Furs (1982)
The Psychedelic Furs were featured almost right at the beginning of this chart with their follow-up record to this classic. The band was Richard Butler on vocals and they enjoyed some success for around six years during the New romantics boom of the early eighties, though they were not particularly a ‘fashion’ band, more of a synth-rock outfit. The band recently reformed for a series of live dates.

No worries bud, anytime :cool:

I only really know ‘Pretty in pink’ from the furs. Great song.

No.348: “The Smiths” by The Smiths (1984)
Debut album from this most popular of eighties Manchester bands. Shunning the dual fads and fashions of the New romantics and the hair metal brigade, Morrissey, Marr and the lads crashed onto the scene with their indie-style guitar-pop offset by Morrissey’s dour and (many say) depressing lyrics and vocal tones. But they brought us some great songs in just four short years and are a generation’s favourite band of thatra.

It certainly is LD, made very famous a few years later with the film of the same name.
The second track I posted there is my personal favourite though. Great lyrics: “President Gas on everything but roller skates”! :slight_smile:

No.347: “Black And White” by The Stranglers (1978)
Sorry for the delay in proceedings. I was trying to find a video full of naked women at Battersea Park, but couldn’t download it. Just as well, Meg would have had me shot!
Black & White was The Stranglers third album released in 1978 and wasn’t as commercially accepted as their previous two. However, over the years fans are preferred it as it is a great ‘Guitar album’ and showcases the band’s awesome talent. They were far too professional to ever be classed as a punk band anyway, more of a Doors-ish gang of rough lads. The track I mentioned that I couldn’t find, ‘Nice ‘n’ Sleazy’ is shown here along with a non-album track from the same era, their version of ‘Walk On By’:

No.346: “Double Fantasy” by John Lennon & Yoko Ono (1980)
It’s knowing where to start when we think about the surroundings concerning this release and the ensuing events. No historical text required, we know what happened on that fateful day of Dec 8th 1980.

Double Fantasy was the legendary Beatle’s first album for five years following his chosen exile in New York, spending time with Yoko and bringing up their child, Sean.
The album contained 14 tracks, seven each from John and Yoko. Their are at least two classic songs on this record, whether Lennon had died or not, plus some other rather decent recordings and some mawkish ones too (‘Beautiful Boy’, Dear Yoko’). All of the Yoko tracks were of course, crap.
Lennon’s rock and roll patische come back single '(Just Like) Starting Over - in brackets because of another hit by somebody else at the time - was a pretty good song and reached No.8 in the UK lists. When Tony Blackburn announced the Top 40 after Lennon’s Death, he didn’t even do the chart rundown, instead immediately declaring that the single had moved back up the chart from No.21 to No.1 that week, such was the demand for Lennon product.
Andy Peebles hosted what was to be the last radio interview with Lennon (plus his wife) on December 6th, two days before the man was shot dead outside the Dakota Building in New York that fateful morning. I recorded that series of interviews and still them all on five C60 cassettes. My dad woke me up for school and told me what had happened to John Lennon and I didn’t go to school that day, it was the first and only time I stayed off. I remember going to all the record shops in town and buying several singles, including the Christmas one.
Moving on then, and the songs I feature here are that comeback song, plus his wonderfully-written ‘Watching The Wheels’. To be fair to Yoko, I have added her excellent single ‘Walking On Thin Ice’ which was not on the album as it was a tribute single of sorts and was released separately in 1981.
Any more stories and thoughts about your own John Lennon recollections would be nice to hear. What were you doing when you heard he had been killed, etc? For now, here’s those tracks:
