Readsalot Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 What are the albums you consider essential to your music collection? Albums you will keep replacing/upgrading, no matter how much music technology changes. Rules: Must be a whole album, not just one song, but it can be a Best Of collection, like Creedence Clearwater Revival - The Premier Collection.Must name specific albums, not just "everything by Pink Floyd".Can be soundtracks, like 1492 Conquest of Paradise by Vangelis.

Tananas, TananasTill I discovered them (their drummer played for Sting when he was out on his Ten Summoner's Travels Tour) I did not know that a) such music existed and that b) South Africa was capable of producing music of such a high level of playing, musicianship, sounds and melodies >.

Readsalot Posted February 25, 2019 Author Posted February 25, 2019 Pink Floyd - Meddle... Wildernessking - Mystical Future Ah, an easy-listening pop fan, I see I think the only one on your list that might make my collection is Meddle, but I'll have to give it another listen. I like some songs by Radiohead and Black Sabbath, but not enough for a whole album. Morphine's Yes is in my collection, though, as are Roger Waters' two albums, Amused to Death and Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking. Sepia 1

Never been a Nirvana fan (or grunge in general), but The Shadows is worth a listen to again, thanks. fanievb 1

Meddle, Sabbath debut, Ok Computer etc were all groundbreaking albums. If everyone liked them they would have been long forgotten. Wildernessking is the best thing to come out of the SA metal scene, ok apart from Kobus and VOD maybe ???? Readsalot 1

popcorn_skollie Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 I know that many albums listed here will be repeats of everyone's favourite cult classics.I would probably agree with most of them. But if we're talking strictly albums here.As a reflection of the content of that album. Most of my favourite's would come from movie soundtracks. The really good ones tend to cherry pick only the best tracks. Off the top of my head my favourite soundtracks are from the following movies. Pulp FictionRomeo and JulietTronGuardians of the Galaxy Then there are movies I enjoy just for the score. Tracks that were in the movie but didn't necessarily feature in the soundtrack. Mostly Hans Zimmer stuff to be fair but there are some that I remember listening to only to be disappointed that the best ones remained in the score and weren't in the album. 8 mileDonnie DarkoGarden State More would probably occur to me later...
Stretch Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 (edited) So a couple of months ago a friend posted on Facebook a challenge to post an album a day that had an influence on them. As part I spent a bit of time thinking about it. I would replace every single one of these Not the best albums ever or most influential to many artists else I would have revolver or the velvet underground... it's Just 12 albums that had significance for me in my life. The one album I love so much just because it's so cool is the 10" wedding present Ukrainian john peel sessions (ukrainski vistupi v Ivana pila) not in my graphic below but would definitely replace it if I lost it Edited February 25, 2019 by Stretch Starchboy 1

'Kinderhel' - who knew the world would know such a lekker Afrikaans doomfest. Aan marsjeer die kinders, nimmereindigende nagGeen oë in hul koppe nie, donker holtes soos die grafSwart onder hul vingernaels, maaiers in die mondVelle flap om enkels en verslete voete vlek die grond Niks om te onthou, treur of berouDie vlamme ysig koudIn die Kinderhel Die bloed in hul are verkrummelende stofKlosse hul hare, verdorde lippe grofDie Lied van die Vlieë op hul roofrooi wonde vleisStrompelende lyke by die Hemelhekke weggewys Niks om te onthou, treur of berouDie vlamme ysig koudIn die kinderhel Slaap pikanini, ons vee's in die kraalAlmal ons skapies en bokkiesMore vroeg kry jy van soet pap 'n maalEn 'n paar spierwitte sokkies Siele ontruim, geen asem in hul borsGeen trane, geen glimlagEmosie ewig opgeskortAan marsjeer die kinders deur die dooie donker stadSoekend na niks op 'n eindelose Hellepad Aan marsjeer die kinders, nimmereindigende nagLeë droë doppe, skynlewe uit die grafDie Lied van die vlieë op hul roofrooi wonde vleisStrompelende lyke by die Hemelhekke weggewys Niks om te onthou, treur of berouDie vlamme ysig koudIn die kinderhel DJR 1
Mudsimus Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 Kobus! 'Kinderhel' - who knew the world would know such a lekker Afrikaans doomfest. They have a macabre fascination with Cannibal Corpse. "Dooie meisies se nie nee nie.."
