+Stu Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 With nothing to do but gaze at the sea and stars, what 3 albums would help keep you occupied? Go on, humour me 😁 Mine are, in no particular order: The Fragile - Nine Inch Nails Hotel California - Eagles Fear Inoculum - Tool I thought there would be some Pink Floyd in there but Hotel California pipped them at the post. A true masterpiece in my humble opinion. +Glafnazur 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Glafnazur Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 ooh now this is so hard. The number of times I've gone through this in my head. Seconds Out - Genesis Tales From Topographic Oceans - Yes Joe's Garage - Frank Zappa It was a very close call between Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon and Joe's Garage. Zappa pinched it purely because of Watermelon in Easter Hay. Of course if you asked me again tomorrow it may have a different answer Any of these might sneak in 3rd spot Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon Chris Squire - Fish out of water The Yes Album Carl Orff - Carmina Burana Tchaikovsky 1812 overture or Swan Lake Wagner - Der Ring des Nibelungen Mozart - Requiem Kate Bush - Hounds of Love Oh my gosh and there's loads of Tangerine Dream and Santana to think of too, I think my head's going to explode.🤯 +Stu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Glafnazur Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 oh and Hawkwind - Space Ritual would also stand a good shot at number 3 depending on my mood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Stu Posted September 29, 2023 Author Share Posted September 29, 2023 @Glafnazur It's a toughy isn't it 😄 Wish You Were Here was nearly my 3rd choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 One of the early Led Zepplin albums would have to feature in there for me and thinking of what I've listened to recently... Dire Straits - Brothers in arms Tangerine Dream - Ricochet But 3 just isn't enough choice, after all thats just 2 hours worth! +Glafnazur and +Stu 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Glafnazur Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Wish You Were Here was close but I prefer Dark Side as it has so many memories for me. +Stu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My turntable, amp and speakers have been in the loft for years now but I may get them down and see if they still work and I've still got all my favourite vinyl albums (also in the loft). I remember going into the local record shop and buying a new LP every Saturday after I got paid on the Friday. It was truly a wonderful experience because for me the album artwork was as much of the experience as listening to the music. Many a time I'd pick up a little gem purely because I liked the cover 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Stu Posted September 29, 2023 Author Share Posted September 29, 2023 The Tool album is the only one of those I don't have on vinyl. I got the fancy CD with a screen built into the case for some audio visual arty stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yuo can't beat some Yes. The first time I heard Jethro Tull was when my sister bought the double compilation album Living in the Past, I was blown away and Minstrel in the Gallery is definitely my favourite of theirs. I went to see them at the NEC, unfortunately Ian Anderson had a sore throat but even so it was still a great gig. philjay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philjay Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 (edited) Seen Tull 8 times over the years. Minstrel was the soundtrack to a special time in my life. A great sing along album. Saw Zepp once, regretably never seen Yes. At one time, The Nice - 5 Bridges Suite or Elergy would have been up there but tastes change with age Edited September 29, 2023 by philjay +Glafnazur 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
