A-Z vinyl collection

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

Well as predicted the O songs remained the same...

3rd - OMD with Architecture & Morality (1981) - iconic at the time and holds up well today
2nd - The O’Jays with Family Reunion (1975) - classic R&B sound of Philadelphia...
1st - Mike Oldfield with Ommadawn (1975) - could hardly be more different from my 2nd place of the same year. After the ‘difficult’ 2nd album‘ that was Hergest Ridge - this was just awesome - I loved it then and I love it now.

S is going to be my pronlem. It seems like galf my vinyl collection starts with S.

That’s what I’ve found. Not surprising perhaps as I recently read (in context of scrabble) that more words in the English language start with the letter S than with any other letter.

 

[backwoodsman]

My "P's" were limited to The Pirates and The Pointer Sisters (not very close on the musical spectrum I fear). Can't claim Pink Floyd as I just borrowed my brothers rather than bought them myself. So today will be to stream Richart's choice (who I dont think I've heard of) then a quick dose of Out Of Their Skulls from the Pirates

 

[MegaSteve]

Accompanying my first cuppa is some Robert Palmer...

 

[Blue in Munich]

Already done Dark side of the Moon; the frightener in the sleeve notes is that it is 47 years old... Jeez.

 

[jim8flog]

With out doubt Pink Floyd for me. It is the only band that I had an almost complete collection of all vinyl releases (as well as as many CD releases).

In one way the head says Dark Side of the Moon but the heart has to go with Wish You Were Here

Memories of Knebworth the summer before it's release and it was bought on the day of its release in September when on honeymoon.

The actual track Wish You Were Here is very poignant to me and always bring tears to my eyes when listening to it since my wife's death.

My Ps are very broad - but I don't have my favourite PF on vinyl - likewise for my favourite Prefab Sprout - and if I'd had them on vinyl my faves from both would have been top 3 - but vinyl is the name of the game. It's not going to be my Poco album (ggod as it is) and I have to give a listen to my one Graham Parker and the Rumour album (Stick to Me) as I haven't listened to it for yonks.

 

[nickjdavis]

Was very tempted by Vanessa Paradis and The Pretenders but I've gone for a day of Pulp the highlight of which will be the fantastic album His "n" Hers.

 

[IanMcC]

Lots of P candidates, but probably has to be Public Image Limited.

I've got PiL The Flowers of Romance - it's a bit mad and rather heavy stuff...not sure i can have it in my frame.

 

[cliveb]

Porcupine Tree, Signify.
The closing track "Dark Matter" ends with a *stunning* guitar solo.

 

[Imurg]

Well, plenty of Floyd and PJam today...
Most satisfying.
So......Q.......
Not really a huge Queen gan so none of their stuff in my collection
Could be Quarterflash, QOTSA......
Nah....got to be Queensryche......Empire and Operation Mindcrime should suffice...
What's everyone else's Q..?

 

[Hobbit]

It will be Queen, and maybe a bit of a cheat by playing Quadrophenia.

 

[MegaSteve]

My lad butted in with a request, to Alexa, for some Prodigy... And, I cheated, just a little, with some Emerson, Lake and Palmer...

Good shout Steve. Hadn't thought of a bit of Brain Salad Surgery.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Restricted to Queen which for me is no bad thing. Loved Freddie's voice and a great showman and loved all of their concerts I went to

 

[IanMcC]

After extensive searching through old vinyl, disappointed to say the only thing I have is an old Queen single, all be it probably one of their best. Now I'm Here.

 

[Deleted member 1147]

Queen , Queen 2, Sheer Heart Attack, etc etc

In other words; tomorrow I’ll be mostly listening to Queen!

Yesterday’s Difficult Ps

3rd - Pretenders - The Singles (1987). So good Chrissie Hynde.
2nd - The Proclaimers - Sunshine on Leith (1988) - 500 miles might be sung at weddings but its 25000 Hibees fans singing the title track that is more fun. Great film as well.
1st - Pink Floyd - Animals (1977). Not my favourite PF album but my only post DSoTM vinyl. And it’s still brilliant.

Qs are going to be difficult. As I don’t think I have any. Going to have to be creative. Might have something 7”

 

[Blue in Munich]

Well, we appear to only have Queen in the Q section... however we are rich in S's... to break it up I might just put some Quo in the mix & throw myself upon the mercy of the court.
