    Also on that first clash album is ‘ garage land’ it was ‘allegedly’ a response to a journalist from NME who wrote they should go back in the garage all night and preferably leave an engine running. They were a garage band in the truest sense then!

    I have to say if double albums count, then it has to be Jeff Wayne’s War of the Worlds.

  5. I must have lived a very secluded life. I’ve never heard of most of the albums listed here, or many of the artists :thinking:.
    I don’t really have a favourite/best ever. I have a few that I listen to more often than others. War of the worlds is one. Hopes and Fears from Keane. Jeff Lynne’s Long Wave. Dire Straits Brothers in Arms. Windsong from John Denver. There’s loads really.

    Dirk Wears White Sox, Adam and the Antz, is the first true Punk album, imho.

  7. Surprised nobody's mentioned Stan Clagthorpe and the Barnsley Rascals. Their first album "By 'Eck, Missus" was a classic :thumbsup:

    Didn’t they do a collaboration with Mrs Mills?

    Brothers in Arms is a fantastic album. I like Mark knoffler’s solo stuff too!

    This was the much better B side of Ant Music single.

    Deffo. Antmusic wasn’t really as punk. It was going a bit ‘glamorous’. Although, it was before the expensive videos started to be made, and churned out by various artists. Ant music was for Sexpeople…

  12. My favourite time as a kid was the excitement of a new album and playing it all the way through enjoying the songs I already knew (main reason I bought the album ) immediately enjoying some new ones and being unsure about others that sometimes were maybe bit experimental or just album fillers . To name a few in no particular order Parallel Lines by Blondie , Appetite for Destruction -GNR , Levelling the Land -The Levellers, Elastica-Elastica ,Sleeper-The It girl , [Spunge]- The Story so Far and a mixture of Rod Stewart, John Denver and The Dubliners which my Mum would have playing during s lunchtimes . I will say i have not had that excitement of a new album for some time but that's another thread to start maybe .
