The first four Queen albums, if you haven’t heard them already.

calciooufc.bsky.social•117 days ago

You know what that’s actually a good shout. Only ever really listened to the hits & I’ve never been much of a Queen fan (Although I can appreciate their undeniable talents)

Marquee Moon by Television. Often seen as the point where punk became post-punk/new wave.

calciooufc.bsky.social•116 days ago

I have to say, I am liking this & it’s deffo under consideration for my LP collection now

djgeordie.bsky.social•116 days ago

And, in the same vein, anything by Wire.

Chuck a favoured album down ☺️

Different feel:
Rattlesnakes - Lloyd Cole and the Commotions
Hatful of Hollow - The Smiths
Specials - The Specials

First 5 Black Sabbath LPs. And Stevie Wonder’s 70s stuff is pretty much impeccable.

Random three:

1979. Joy Division: Unknown Pleasures.
1978. The Clash: Give ‘em enough rope.
1983. The The: Soul Mining

I don’t know what I was expecting from the Clash although it’s not aged as well for me.
The The, again. Wonderful
Thanks for recommending all of these

neil-oxford.bsky.social•116 days ago

For a tune that has stood the test of time, try The The: The Beat(en) Generation. Could have been written this week.

calciooufc.bsky.social•117 days ago

Oooohhhhh!!! That’s a good mixture. I feel like I listened to Joy Division album as a child but it might have been a different one. The Clash I’ve not listened to the earlier stuff whilst I’m a complete novice to The The.
Thank you!!

All of those are brilliant.

calciooufc.bsky.social•117 days ago

Currently listening to the Joy Division album and it’s wonderful

deadlytheroadie.bsky.social•116 days ago

Oh and Tears for Fears The Hurting from 1983.

calciooufc.bsky.social•116 days ago

I was waiting for you to respond and now I’m going to have to make a list to keep track of this all 😂

deadlytheroadie.bsky.social•116 days ago

ELO - Out of the Blue - one of the greatest albums ever made!

calciooufc.bsky.social•116 days ago

Oh I’ve listened to that album many a time. Got it on CD when I was about 16. Unreal!!!

deadlytheroadie.bsky.social•116 days ago

The Court of the Crimson King by King Crimson. You’ll not regret it.

Little fun fact: lyricist Peter Sinfield also wrote the lyrics to The Land of Make Believe by Bucks Fizz.

deadlytheroadie.bsky.social•116 days ago

Ps that album is from 1969, but it’s so worth the listen.

wiggytoo.com•116 days ago

Older sister's boyfriend had this, I bought the record later, the only prog I have really and it's crosses musical generations. Thinking now it links in my head to early Ultravox, the first 3 albums.

wiggytoo.com•116 days ago

Oh, and My Life in the Bush of Ghosts, Brian Eno and David Byrne ... I better stop going down this rabbit hole.

calciooufc.bsky.social•116 days ago

You’ll be both happy to know that this has all been queued upon my Spotify for todays listening. Not sure some of it will be the most gym worthy but there we are 😂

Hounds of Love by Kate Bush

calciooufc.bsky.social•116 days ago

Any excuse to listen to running up that hill
