A-Z vinyl collection

Spent much time yesterday listening to a good few rarely listened to Ss but ended up - inevitably I suppose, with my long standing favourites - but from that lot a fairly arbitrary choice of three and then top as I t could have been any from a dozen or so. So no Steely Dan, Simple Minds, Rod Stewart, Sade or plethora of other greats - and no Al Stewart a Year of the Cat!

3rd - The Style Council - Cafe Blue (1984) The Paris Match, and You’re the Best Thing - and Mrs Hogie’s fave album
2nd - Supertramp - Crisis? What Crisis? (1975) - a real tough toss up between three and can’t believe CotC didn’t make it
1st - Santana Abraxas (1970) - 50 yrs old but still as great as ever. I know it inside out. Probably my most played album the lot.

I think Crisis? What Crisis? was much underrated of their albums. I played it back to back with Crime of the Century a couple of weeks back, and then followed them up with Even in the Quietest Moments. My fav Supertramp track is Fool's Overture but I don't think the album has the same level of consistency as the previous two. 40+ years ago... we're getting old Hugh.

Yes those 3 are a fabulous trio of albums.
But let me declare my heretical opinion that the post-Hodgson album "Some Things Never Change" is right up there. When I think about it, I've always been more drawn to the songs written by Rick Davis, so that might explain it.
 
Omg late addition to the S section
How did I miss out the fantastic Dusty Springfield.

I’ll have to start the T section a few minutes late today ??

I only recently realised the significance of the yellow and white type of the lyrics of CotC ?
 
Easy choice of a single band album for me

Tangerine Dream - Force Majeure. One of my go to records for late night listening in a darkened room with headphones on. One of those records that you want to totally immerse yourself in.

Had I a second choice I would go for a genre rather than a band - Tamla Mowtown and the Silver Album Mowtown Chartbusters 3 is probably the best of the compilation albums.
 
Tina Turner now being played. What a performer she was. If anyone needs a good night out when the :poop:storm is over they could do a lot worse than going to see Tina - The Musical. (y)

Simply The Best just about sums her up.
