No.177: “A Quick One” by The Who (1966)
Swiftly moving away from their r’n’b roots, The Who still kept some of that intact but were now heading towards a more full-on rock design. The conceptual title song was used in the Rolling Stones’ stage compilation ‘Rock And Roll Circus’, whilst ‘Boris The Spider’ showed off John Entwhistle’s incomparable talent as the world’s greatest bass guitarist.
I was wondering if that Jim Steinman album would turn up - excellent choice.
I do know Red right hand because it was the theme to Peaky Blinders. 
Yes, a great album and the only Joel record I have ever bought. Love the title track and also ‘This night’ which is based on a Beethoven sonata.
Any Al Stewart up the spout?
I’ve always liked that album, Ffosse. It spawned quite a few big hits by other people.
Actually, there is another Jim Steinman project coming up very soon. Bet you can’t guess what that one might be? Clue: It isn’t by meat Loaf… 
Was it really? I’m waiting until the whole series of Peaky Blinders finishes and I’ll buy the box set of it.
I didn’t know that actually mate. Great album though and still a few more Billy Joel albums to come. 
Only Year Of The cat, Spitfire, which we had some weeks ago.
Sorry folks, no time today for any more. Story of my life in fact.
I’ll be back when I can 
Enjoy your afternoon Floydy. I hope you are doing something nice.
Hi mate.
Just trying to get some sun. I managed half an hour, now it’s time to get sorted for work again:cry:
I have got quite a few albums of the next batch ready, but they take time to post and edit, so it’s finding the time to do it. Hopefully late tomorrow night if I’m lucky!
Do you listen to music at work? Headphones? Or are you not allowed?
No mate, not allowed. Though I do have a little speaker and mp3 player that I can carry around.
Keeps me sane.
Taking my wife in to work before I get to bed this morning, so found myself with half an hour to spare. Hence…
(sorry my reviews are a little brief on some selections).
No.176: “Marchin’ Already” by Ocean Colour Scene (1997)
The third album from Birmingham’s mod-rock export.
No.175: “Definitely Maybe” by Oasis (1994)
The storming debut album from the Mancunian terrible twins made way for a whole host of swaggering, football-chanting roughneck musicians to come forth with their own brand of laddish indie rock. This is still the best Oasis album in my book, a great rock album.

No.174: “Auberge” by Chris Rea (1991)
Big news coming a couple of years after the massive Road To Hell album, Auberge was more of the same classy music and solid guitar from Chris Rea, a guitar great in my opinion who has been unfairly left on the sidelines too much when it comes to those best guitarist polls.
No.173: “Love” by The Beatles (2006)
A segued mix of all The Beatles songs in one form or another which was produced by George Martin and his son, Giles. It’s a remarkably good recording and was adapted for a live ‘Circe du Soleil’ event to coincide with its release. Videos are hard to come by, so here’s a couple of random clips:
No.172: “More” (soundtrack) by Pink Floyd (1969)
The soundtrack of a little-know French movie (I’ve never seen it!) which comprised i9nstrumental and some vocal themes set to sequence the film’s score. Some great original Floyd tracks on this.
No.171: “Physical Graffiti” by Led Zeppelin (1975)
The monster double album from the Gods of Rock. Page, Plant, Jones and Bonham at their best.
No.170: “Like A Rock” by Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band (1986)
Mid-80’s class from this legendary Detroit singer-songwriter. Check out these three superb ballads from the album.

No.169: “Astra” by Asia (1985)
The third album from the supergroup was pretty much a Wetton-Downes affair, since the departure of guitarist Steve Howe from the band and replaced by somebody called Mandy Myers(?) (Howe did return in later years). Radio-friendly AOR and two more of their albums are still to come in the list.
No.168: “Vulture Culture” by The Alan Parsons Project (1985)
’85 again, and it’s more melancholic, high class songwriting from Parsons and his sidekick Eric Woolfson.
