Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Excellent.
Classics that I have heard before just get better whilst the ones 'new' to me where all killers.
The opening track "funeral for a friend/love lies bleeding" started this masterpiece off and it never took its foot off the pedal. Brilliant

A real good listen.
I thought 'Rose for emily' screamed 60s. Fantastic
Also, "This will be our year" sounded familiar as soon as it kicked in. I'd heard the cover by Beautiful South but not this original.
A really good album and I'm sure it will get another listen.

Listening to this album brings back such fond memories of when I was young. When going on holiday, this was always one of my selections when choosing tapes to listen to in the car.
However, the 5 star rating is not based on nostalgia or anything similar. This is truly a great album where 5 stars is perhaps not enough.
Every track on the album is so strong - not one weak link.
Great sounds overwritten with brilliant lyrics.
This is up there as one of the greatest albums of all time

A true 5 star album - Certainly the best thing Queen have ever made (and they have done some quality albums)
So many different sounding songs but they fit together so well to make that album sound. I mean how on earth should "lazing on a sunday afternoon" follow "Death on two legs"? It shouldn't work, but it does. Before it then kicks into the such underrated "I'm in love with my car".
So many highlights but the way The Prophets Song falls into Love of My Life is just magical.
A truly great album. If I could aware 6 stars I would

Brilliant album. For me, this was a new unique style of music. Certainly something I had not heard before.

(What's The Story) Morning Glory
Oasis
What an album. A classic.
The problem with listening to albums like this is you listen as your 20 year old self. Memories of spending time with your girlfriend listening to Oasis the first time round. So easy to listen and letting the memories cloud your review and judgement almost 30 years later.
However.... None of that applies. This album is as fresh and amazing today as it was when listening in the girlfriends bedroom as a young lad with a different outlook on life.
The album brings together so many influences yet is so unique in its sound. T-Rex, The Sex Pistols, Slade and of course the Beatles bubble under every song but above this is the Oasis sound. Great proper rock with Liams voice growling alongside (for the majority). Pure bliss.
It would be so easy to pick the obvious 'Wonderwall' as the standout track but for me the highlights are 'Some Might Say' and 'Champagne Supanova'

Blood On The Tracks
Bob Dylan
One of the finest Bob Dylan albums (and with so many greats, that is high praise indeed).
Everything about this is perfect.... The music, the lyrics, but added to that Bobs voice. For me, this his peak.
No weak songs but difficult to give a favourite due to the strength of them all. That said, "If you see her, say hello", just nods ahead of the others. A sadness in the lyrics.
I've only given 5 stars because I can't give 6

All Things Must Pass
George Harrison
This is in my top 5 albums of all time. I'm only giving it 5 because I can't go any higher.
A quiet and thoughtful start before it leaps into life with "wah wah". And how good is that guitar!!
Stand out tracks are the obvious "Beware the Darkness" and "All things must Pass", but a shout out to "Ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp" and "Hear me lord".
As with all George Harrison albums, you just feel love from every track.
Music didnt get any better than this.

Paul McCartney and Wings
Wow 1001Album Generator... On Wednesday I get 'All Things Must Pass' (George Harrison) and Thursday it is this album.... Two of the greatest albums ever and both in my top 5.
Onto 'Band On The Run'.... Fantastic.
Not a single weak song on here and I love the way it ebbs and flows.
Of course the stand outs to many will be the title track and 'Jet' but my favourite is "nineteen hundred and eighty five". A brilliant piano intro before Maccas great lyrics and vocals.
Like I say, one of my faves and it gets an airing regularly.
