Re: Classic albums revisited
I rarely find albums that I can play all the way through (two well known ones that I can play right through are Dire Straits first album and Kate Bush, The Kick Inside) so from my CD collection I made compilation CDs (my best of one artist, prog rock or pedal steel songs for example). These are usually played on a speaker system. Some years ago I ripped these CDs to computer and use that for the basis of a headphone system. The beauty of that is you can play random songs from the whole collection of CDs and I occasionally come across songs that I'd forgotten or never really liked. Here's a couple:
Gene Clark and Carla Olson - Fair and Tender Ladies

Recently listened to the entire double album "The River" from The Boss. Whilst I've never stopped listening to certain tunes from it, I haven't had the whole album on in ages. It's still brilliant.

I suppose they remind me of the hazy days of my youth.

Volume 2 of the Hits Factory is a timeless masterpiece. Put it on the other day for the first time in years.
Will only listen to the original cassette tape version to experience the beautiful authentic sound that you just dont get with the modern vinyl and CD formats

Rumours by fleetwood Mac never gets tired. Not ever.
Bob Dylan’s infidels is quite outstanding.
Stiff little fingers have some belters, but I’ll go for Nobody’s hero
Blondies parallel lines is timeless.
But for me, the number one is...........
Bruce Springsteen. The river. Amazing album, and strangely, 30 years ago I didn’t actually “get” him.

Re: Classic albums revisited
That three album run from Springsteen in the late 70s is just fantastic.....Born to Run, Darkness on the Edge of Town and The River, three absolute classics. If I really had to pick one of them it would probably be Born to Run...and if I had to pick one track (which is actually impossible) I'd possibly go for Backstreets, an amazing song with one of the most committed vocal performances ever.

Re: Classic albums revisited
Absolutely agree, in picking one from each, " Jungleland " from " Born to Run " ( I think our fellow poster, " MagicRat " will know this ! ), " Badlands " from " Edge of Town, and " Sherry Darlin' " from " The River ", although " Little girl I wanna marry you " runs it close for very personal reasons ...Stalbansclaret wrote: ↑Sun Nov 29, 2020 11:32 pmThat three album run from Springsteen in the late 70s is just fantastic.....Born to Run, Darkness on the Edge of Town and The River, three absolute classics.

Re: Classic albums revisited
I remember spending some months in Canada years ago, and a few of us shared at a car. It had a bench front seat and an 8 track player. There was a cassette stuck inside the machine that wouldn’t come out.... it played over and over and over again.
Darkness on the edge of town, and it’s this album that finally won me over to the Bruce side...
From this, Badlands and Darkness.
From born to run, born to run.
From the river, the river and point blank.
