Last day of my 20 LPs. I was limited to 1 album per band but I started with P Floyd and I’ll end with them, Dark Side. THE great album. Production values were through the roof. They’d been playing it for a year. Lyrics so many identified with. Perhaps Waters was right, they should have ended here?

Day 6 of my 20 Albums that have influenced me, which I go back to time and again. Limiting myself to 1 album per band. Quadrophenia by The Who. Definitely their magnum opus. Side 4 should always be heard in one go as really it’s a suite. Finally got to see them play it in full in 2013.

From an idea by @wrhibbie.bsky.social 20 albums that have been important to me. I've limited myself to only one per band or artist. Day 2: King Crimson's awesome debut album.

Great idea. Here’s the first album I ever bought in autumn 1968 aged 16. Nothing sounded like it at the time. Got into PF through a school friend. When they became big I almost resented the people who jumped on the bandwagon. A bit like football supporters following a team when they’re winning.

"Afghan women are only allowed in a sports stadium to be stoned, flogged, or hanged." If you play for #EnglandCricket v AFG, watch #EngvAFG, are #EnglandCricket, coach #AFG, you're OK with this as you perpetuate the system. Do you recommend it for your country, or think it's not too bad? #cricket
