    ooh yes, lots of Springsteen, at least until The River - I gave up for a while after that - the same goes for Elvis Costello up to Spike.

    I'd forgotten about that one, IMO their best album. I saw them at Donington 1995, where this was really hammered home about how good it really is.

    Not massively for a loooooong time, but some things just never leave you. Those albums (and In Search Of Space, but I thought I was getting a bit  Hawkwind-centric there) still make me want to grab a guitar whenever I listen to them. I find myself chucking in some serious Dave Brock-style riffery when things descend into long spacey jams!

    Marillion - Brave
    Carcass - Heartwork
    The Gathering - How to Measure a Planet
    Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti

    But the main one, the one that got me into metal and possibly even changed my life, the album I still listen to more than any other and I probably love more now than I did in 1988 is...

    Iron Maiden - Seventh Son of a Seventh Son

  • ICBMICBM Frets: 73174
    Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
    Fleetwood Mac - Rumours
    Genesis - And Then There Were Three
    Blondie - Eat To The Beat
    Roxy Music - Flesh + Blood
    Lloyd Cole & The Commotions - Rattlesnakes
    U2 - Achtung Baby
    Heather Nova - Oyster

    There are also a lot of bands and artists who I still love - including many that I've got entire catalogues of - but would find it hard to pick one particular album.

    Can't believe I missed off 'Meat Is Murder'. I probably listen to at least one track off it every month.

    It's an album that unfairly lanquishes in the shadows of its (admittedly also rather great) sibling, The Queen Is Dead, IMO. One of those albums where I always start by thinking I'll listen to a couple of tracks and end up skipping some, but at each turn I end up saying "Oooh, forgot about this one! Classic!" and before I know it I'm at the end of the album and haven't skipped a song.

    Yes I really struggled to pick a Led Zep one, and couldn't choose a particular Black Sabbath or Pink Floyd album. Iron Maiden is my favourite band still recording - but was easy to pick Seventh Son because it had such a dramatic effect on me.

    That's a great call. Big In Gravesend is a crackin' album as well. Sort of surprised anyone's ever heard of them.
