Geoff Who? (Geoff Whitehorn)

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

Geoff Who? has some of the best recorded guitar tones that I've ever heard. The man is a marvellous player, but never got the recognition he deserves.

Fleetwood Mac - Rumours

How could I forget Rumours? It ranks alongside Dark Side of the Moon as one of the best albums of the 20th century

Most albums I loved at the time I still love now but most also hold a different place for me now, don't quite sound the same, sounds more like nostalgia in many cases.

The one album that stands out for me as giving me the exact same feeling as when I was first listening to it (20 years ago, gulp) is Karakiriad by Donald Fagen. Sounds just as fresh now. It's an incredibly underrated album, just genius.

I need to play 'On The Dunes' right now to hear that fantastic bass line again.

Thanks for the reminder....

I think that one will always be a mainstay. Definitely their finest hour. No World For Tomorrow is also good. Year of the Black Rainbow, and the 2 albums before Good Apollo... were terrible. But I really like the double album they did (the two Afterman... albums)

Great call and I'm going to dig my copy out.

Marvellous player and really nice chap who can sometimes be seen joining in with bands at The Bear and Ragged Staff in Dartford.

Whitesnake - 1987

I share with @skarloey an early love of inxs but I don't listen to them much now.. so I always feel 15 again when I hear something from Kick or Listen like thieves.

Others:
Try Whistling This - Neil Finn
In it for the money - Supergrass
Demolition - Ryan Adams
Dog Man Star - Suede (completely blew me away and still does).
Stone Roses - Stone Roses
Experienced, Axis & Ladyland
Who's Next - The Who.

I had completely forgotten about this album.  I have not listened to it in years (was it really 1998????  Shit, where is time going?). 

Must go give it a listen.

It's great, and from what I heard on Jools Holland the other week his latest album may be back more in this direction - I'll have to get that too.

I wouldn't say that Second Stage and In Keeping Secrets are "terrible"..."Good Apollo" is definitely their masterpiece but this coupled with the first two albums and then No World for Tomorrow tells a great story and it's pretty awesome to have a concept album that is actually 4 albums! "A Favour House Atlantic" is still just an awesome track too.

Year of the Black Rainbow has never "grabbed" me, but maybe I didn't give it enough attention...The Afterman albums are ossum though.

Have you heard the "Neverender" series? Where they played 4 nights back to back in different cities and played the entire "Coheed and Cambria" story with each of the first 4 albums in their entirety every night? That gave me a new appreciation for the first two albums.

Also, I saw them on the Good Apollo tour at the Astoria in London (RIP ) and it was easily one of the top 5 gigs I've ever been to.

The Go-Betweens- 16 Lovers Lane

The Cure- Disintegration

Primal Scream- Screamadelica

The Las- The Las 

The Cult- Sonic Temple- side 1 especially. I do not actually have a copy of this in the house, because when I used to play it I could not resist ramping the volume right up. It was a compulsion. That's okay if you are a 15 year old with a cheap Sony cassette deck, but if these days with proper stereo speakers I'd be risking a Court Order. Parts of it though- like the first three songs and the intro to Fire Woman- are stuck in my brain forever. 

Pierre Bensusan- Altiplanos

Radio Futura- La Cancion de Juan Perro; Veneno en la Piel

Pata Negra- Blues de la Frontera

Kraftwerk- The Mix

Stephen Duffy and The Lilac Time- Looking for a Day in the Night. 

Rocker

Thin Lizzy - Live and Dangerous

Rory Gallagher - Photo Finish

Guns 'n' Roses - Appetite for Destruction

Jonny Cash - At San Quentin

Dire Straits - Dire Straits

Gary Moore - Still got the blues

Status Quo - 12 Gold Bars

AC/DC - Back in Black

Fleetwood Mac - Rumours

Leonard Cohen - Live in London

Drew_TNBD

Tool - Lateralus

RocknRollDave

Down - Down II: A Bustle In Your Hedgrow.

Can't remember if I mentioned that in my original list, but I've caned my copy of it so much it deserves mentioning twice anyway.
