I signed up with this about 3 months ago.Could download any album and then play in the car through BT.so i got a whole bunch of albums that I own the CDs of but just can't play becausea)they're scratched - that 80's fallacy of CD's lasting forever......b)they're lent out to long forgotten friendsc)lost/stolen So ja, get going online, you won't regret it.because if you really want to read the album notes you could find them online tooI stream about 20hours a week from Spotify.

Hell.. My vinyl collection is sitting in boxes back in storage in SA still..but...I will never discount the process of playing vinyl... Taking it out.. Blowing the dust...

Readsalot Posted February 25, 2019 Author Posted February 25, 2019 Might have missed it but no "Dark Side of the Moon" - Pink Floyd? Personally, I overplayed Pink Floyd so I've moved those albums to my Not Now list as well. Instead, I have the David Gilmour - Live at Pompeii concert and the two Roger Waters albums on my Must Have list.
Patensie Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 Billy Joel - Songs from the attic [Almost a greatest hits collection, but live versions of songs that studio recordings didn't do justice to] John Prine - John Prine (debut album)John Prine - Diamonds in the roughJeffrey Foucault - Miles from the lightning [Can't seem to grow tired of this , just Jeff on his guitar]Deacon Blue - Rain townCat Stevens - Tea for the tillermanBryan Adams - Waking up the neighbors [just because I was in high school in the early '90s]Leonard Cohan - Live in London & Old Ideas Some locals:Piet Botha - A suitcase vol winterAnton Goosen - Boy van die suburbsDavid Kramer - Blokkies Joubert and last but not least.... BZN - Crystal Gazer ...NOT [My mom bought the vinyl and it is now in my collection. I'm keeping it to give payback to the kids for all the hours of having to watch Barney/Lollos/etc] Sidersky and Chris_ 2
Readsalot Posted February 25, 2019 Author Posted February 25, 2019 Some locals:Piet Botha - A suitcase vol winterAnton Goosen - Boy van die suburbsDavid Kramer - Blokkies Joubert My SA-related albums so far, besides Kobus, which I mentioned: Afrikaans Johannes Kerkorrel - Tien Jaar Later Anton Goosen - Riviersonderend Laurika Rauch - 19 Treffers van 21 Jaar I also have to get David Kramer - Die Verhaal van Blokkies Joubert again. MovieAmandla - A Revolution in Four-Part Harmony Soundtrack And… Johnny Clegg - The Best of Juluka/Suvuka Jain - Zanaka Paul Simon - The Ultimate Collection ... plus a couple of Dizzy, Surge and Trance House albums from my clubbing days of yore at ESP in Joburg. Plus I still have to check out Tananas and Ladysmith Black Mambazo.
Thor Buttox Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 My selection of the ones that blew my mind in a moment of time that they always take me back to are:Radio head - The Bends (better than Android) U2 - The Joshua TreeOpeth - Still Life (and Deliverance, but Still Life is better) Anathema - JudgmentHypocrisy - Abducted (and Hypocrisy) Judas Priest - PainkillerMaiden - 7th son of a seventh sonKatatonia - Last fair deal gone down Death - LeprosyOverkill - Years of DecayPlacebo - Without you, I'm nothingAntimatter - Planetary Confinement (and Leaving Eden) The last one is a really odd choice for those that know the kind of music they made and the incredible songs from the 70's but I really love Sabbath's Headless Cross.
Chris_ Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 ....Cat Stevens - Tea for the tillermanBryan Adams - Waking up the neighbors [just because I was in high school in the early '90s] ...... Youtube is jamming hard right now Patensie 1

You just don't get that with a streaming service https://thevinylfactory.com/features/secret-history-messages-etched-runout-groove/ I collect vinyl since listening to music on vinyl for me is about the whole experience. It puts your whole mind in a different vibe, which listening to CD or streaming can never do. I am a subscriber to Tidal, of course. Stretch 1
Readsalot Posted February 25, 2019 Author Posted February 25, 2019 Some obvious (or rather, better-known) choices for me, besides some already listed: Beatles - White AlbumBeatles - Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club BandBob Marley and The Wailers - LegendDire Straits Live - AlchemyElvis - With the Royal PhilharmonicFrankie Goes to Hollywood - Welcome to the PleasuredomeJohnny Cash - At Folsom Prison and At San QuentinLed Zeppelin - IVThe Orb - OrblivionSinead O'Connor - I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got dev null and Sidersky 2
Stretch Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 Sinead O'Connor - I Do Not Want What I Haven't GotDid you see the amazing story about "that" song I posted on the song thread?
Mudsimus Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 Personally, I overplayed Pink Floyd so I've moved those albums to my Not Now list as well. Instead, I have the David Gilmour - Live at Pompeii concert and the two Roger Waters albums on my Must Have list.Definitely a must have album. This recording is just insane.
