Top 5 Albums

[Colwyn]

Thanks Billet. I had a little difficulty hunting down both tracks but finally completed the task under the title "You Gonna Leave me Baby Blues". I had never heard either of the tracks ... but since I was never that keen on Dylan, and Arthur was making one single per month for Paramount in the late 1920s, I don't suppose that is very surprising.

Nice to see this one mentioned Tony, second album I ever bought and possibly still one of the best live album's I've ever listened to, raw, powerful, electric atmosphere !! , brilliant renditions of Born To Be Wild, Darling Be Home Soon, and Hear Me Calling. Great stuff !!

I'm still thinking

Agree, music is personal, and past music is either personally to ones taste, or hold personal memories... and yes all the above albums are quite diverse as it should be.. It  would be difficult for me to place or even form a top 5 but possibly `Abbey Rd` and `Sgt Pepper` would be there.. also `the best of Pink Floyd 1 and 2 ` also `Dire Straits live album`  surprised Dire Straights  are not mentioned in the above members posts ?? Michael Jacksons  `off the wall` and yes  `war of the Worlds` these are all off the top of my head, but if I scroll through my cd`s or i pod tracks I could probably list 50 more   :-)

I thought Best of/Live albums were frowned upon in "Top xx Albums" lists but definitely if they are allowed then Dire Straits' Alchemy would have to be in. I bought Brothers in Arms on CD not so long ago (I bought the original on vinyl) and it is one of the few albums I have listened to in recent years from start to finish, in one sitting. People don't really do that anymore

Agree with you keith on your `dire straights` choices...  I  wore out my old  `Alchemy` cassettes  playing it sooooooooo  many times in early 80`s  and can still enjoy it now of course... on different format of course :-)  awesome album !!!!
