My Dad's Vinyl Record Collection (Part Two/Final Part)

- Опубликовано: 23 янв 2021
- This is my longest video yet! Someone in the comments of the last episode wanted me to include more of my dads thoughts on the albums. I tried with this one, but I didn't want the video to be overly long!! Would people sit through a 45 min video of mine?
Again, due to RUclips guidelines I did have to censor the album covers containing nudity.
Tomorrow is my birthday and I do have a scheduled upload planned, although it meant filming two videos in one day!

I have to say, this is probably the best new vinyl/music appreciation channel on RUclips. I think a lot of us “older” viewers enjoy the enthusiasm and opinions from a younger fan and your Dad has excellent taste.
Great vids as always.So glad I found you.
Music is the thread that binds us all together in the cloak of love.
Blessings to the UK from the USA.
From one Deadhead to another,PEACE!
It's great to see a father and daughter share a love for the same styles of music. My kids called my musical taste "old fogey" music and now my grandkids call it "boomer music" lol. A couple of quick comments, I love the Frank Frazetta's artwork on the Molly Hatchet albums, Phish is one of the best jam bands EVER, and Leslie West never had the success that he deserved and I loved the band he put together after Mountain with Ginger Baker and Corky Laing. Unlike a lot of reaction channels, I love how to you go in depth about the music and the bands. 👏👍🤘✌️
You and your dad sharing your guys' love and passion for vinyl/music is awesome!
Aloha Niamh,
Thank you for Part 2, love seeing other VC members collections, brings back memories of record albums I no longer have which I had in the past, that I might purchase again thanks to both of you.
Looking forward to your next Video.
Mahalo ed.
These albums look amazing.
Awesome. Collection ....I’d like to recommend Nektar and Crack the sky Also Little feat with Lowell George.
Nektar's 'A Tab In The Ocean' is a brilliant album. I think I bought my copy in about 1974. Still have it and still play it!
I'm 25, into prog rock and metal. Nice and interesting videos, keep on with your passion 🤘
Lizarde
It is lovely to see and your dad enjoying the same music. God bless you and family
Love your videos! I'm a young prog fan myself. You and your dad have great taste in music 🙂
Great channel. I dig your dad's eclectic collection. Nice to see bands like joy division, OMD, etc. in there : )
Love the connection with your Dad and the great vids. Keep it up!
Your dad and I have a lot of the same records! Love seeing you both bonding over this!
You should do a Spotify playlist. We share a lot of similar musical tastes but you've brought the younger enthusiast out in me which takes me back to vinyl hunting which I rarely do. And you've both introduced me to some gems. Amazing to watch you both share your passion. When I was a teenager we'd record each other compilation tapes in order to turn each other on to new music - You should try including a couple of tracks from each of your favourite Artists / Albums - A top 30. I would thoroughly enjoy that on my long commutes.
Great idea!
Omg, you have a great record collection. I want to get those box sets you have really bad. Thanks for the great video. Philip😍
Some absolutely fantastic stuff here!!! Can see the Dead influences weaving their way thru this collection in many areas. If you like Country Rock and Southern Rock you might also wanna try the Outlaws, The Marshall Tucker Band, Charlie Daniels, Grinderswitch, The Winters Brothers Band, Black Oak Arkansas and Heartsfield. And others..
Deep psychedelic dive. Must explore. Always good hanging out. Thanks for the great work. Today I have a few new things to try and check out. Kudos to your Dad. Thank you.
Niamh
Fantastic channel and please keep updating.
I really enjoyed this, thanks to both of you! 🙏 I love the Ruts album, also I was expecting far more Neil Young!! 😀
This is a really neat concept for a video! You and your dad both have really great taste in music 😃. Great video overall!
Love the Steve Miller box set. Such great classic music. Today’s music doesn’t compare imho. What a great collection. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you. Loads of great recommendations.
Wow! Quite the collection!! Again, thanks for sharing your collection, awesome video and loved the commentary. Totally agree with your Dad about Stewart Copeland and Fun Fact----"Vida Blue" was a very famous and excellent baseball pitcher in the 1970's. He also pitched for both Bay Area teams (SF Giants; Oak. A's) so he was a very very well known and popular figure during the decade and still today.
Holy Cow!! Oysterhead on vinyl?! That’s the first time I see that in the history of my time in the VC. I bought it on CD when it came out and I loved it! Very cool!
Enjoyed the video. Love you two together . More dad in the future. 😎
I'm really enjoying your content!
Many happy returns Niamh, i hope you have a good birthday....i am hoping for ELP's Love Beach!!! for my birthday this Tuesday
I love watching these vinyl collection vids. I've been trying to expand my taste and the music I listen to and I use these often to get some suggestions.
Great video! A few band recommendations, Lighthouse, Solution and Brainbox. All late 60s, early 70s.
such a reminder of how much great music their is - got me digging thru my records thank you
HAPPY BIRTHDAY NIAMH - the true prog queen
Thank you very much!!!
@@the_prog_nerd have a great day tomorrow have some fun your only young once - "call her moonchild "
Love your RW 'The Wall' t-shirt - saw one of the first shows of that tour back in fall 2010 - still have my RW 'Radio KAOS' shirt from '87.
I've kind of run out of superlatives with the tour of you and your Dad's collections. When I saw the Burrito Bros. album yesterday I wagered to myself that Gram's Grievous Angel would show up today. Got to see Skynyrd several times in NYC back before the plane crash. They were crazy. Van Zant would throw half empty beer cans out into the crowd and the two guitarists would prance 10 rows deep into the seats up the flanking stage walkways. Long time ago now.
You must ask your Dad how in the heck he's kept every album cover we've been shown in such pristine condition. The more recent stuff I understand, but I've got a copy of Filmore: The Last Days and have taken good care of it. Still can't keep the white cover from yellowing somewhat. Your's looks like the day it was made. Amazing.
Super enjoyable. Thanks for treating us.
Certainly right about Todd Rundgren, genius of pop and rock.
So many wonderful albums! I suggest that he adds a couple more Santana albums, like the first one, and “Welcome” and “Love, Devotion, and Surrender” with John McLaughlin. Also I saw The Verve’s “Urban Hymns”, that is a great album but more poppy compared to their first full-length album “A Storm in Heaven”. He needs that!
you two totally rock, hard ! in just a few minutes i learned about Mars Volta, i'm totally clueles, but thanks for bringing me up to speed. by the way, amazing Kandinsky behind yuz, awesome !! ty
What an awesome way to share love for music. Thank you for showing us how it's done!
I'm surprised no Alan Parsons Project made the collection!
In my collection video there’s an alan parsons record!
I love your Dad's collection. A couple bands to add would be Marshall Tucker Band, Railroad Earth, Savoy Brown & Widespread Panic.
Fun video! Great stuff.
The Rolling Stones "On Air" is not an old album though. Old recordings from the BBC but was never officially released as an album until recently..
Second, Mick Taylor's last "passing shot" was not on "Exile.."! He was on both "Goat's Head" and "It's Only Ro'n'R" afterwards.. It's small details but it counts ;)
Hooray, Dad's back!!
Fun video, you guys are great! Huge Stones, Steely Dan and Skynyrd fan here. Mick Taylor performed on two more albums with the Stones after Exile, Goat's Head Soup (1973) and It's Only Rock n Roll (1974). Grievous Angel by Gram Parsons is one of my all-time favorite records.
These videos are really fun! I would suggest finding a copy of Khan, (very hard to find on vinyl!) which features Steve Hillage and Dave Stewart... just a fantastic one of a kind early prog album. Right after Khan, Steve went to join Gong and Dave to Hatfield and the North. I'll also say that the two Hatfield and the North albums are essential if you enjoy the Canterbury stuff.
A great selection of albums, many of which I also own. XTC Skylarking is one I would suggest if you guys have not heard it (for Beatles fans, produced by Todd R.) Great video, keep it going
Awesome vid. You're gaining subs fast!
Nice T-Shirt, I've seen the original The Wall concert way back in Feb. 1981, great show (and a flying Pig from the Animals tour )
Carole King Tapestry - excellent what an opening. Animals as Leaders? - Modern Prog. Cool that father and daughter can nerd out to their favourite music. that's priceless. Phish, another band for me to check out. "Abraxas"- played so many tracks from those albums. I remember John Peel playing the Undertones album all night on his show. The rain was hammering down and i listened on a transistor radio - small and Japanese - yes one of those, in the guard room supposedly on duty! Naughty me! But no one was coming to check, they were all in their beds. SRV - the master. No Frank Zappa? I know he's not for everyone but going by other stuff you have there, I was half expecting him to be there.
Got something new to listen finally ❤️🙏
These two videos will be revisited many times to pick up some album recommendations, every time I need it. What I like best is how dad's diverse tastes include everything from Joni to The Mars Volta. I was surprised John McLaughlin didn't make an appearance as himself/Mahavishnu Orchestra/Shakti. In case you guys haven't heard any of it, I would recommend him. I'm almost certain you will both enjoy it. Thanks again for the videos
Interesting collection. Now i need to checkout the molly hatchet and todd rundgren albums that are being sold at a local record shop. Keep the awesome vudeos comung, and hope to see another video with your dad.
Awesome selection!
Love The Undertones - Power Punk / Pop . Very clever 2 minute songs.
Both,you really need to get yourselves some Little Feat.Try the early stuff with Lowell George,partic the live double album "Waiting for Columbus".And,I`m amazed you`ve gpt no Black Crowes.That`s great stuff.The CRB triple live albums,now 4 in total,all called "Betty`s etc" are hard to get hold of but I`m sure you`d like these.I`ve only got the third series on vinyl,bloody brilliant.
Great vid. I feel like I'm friends with you guys even though yr half a planet away. Was cool to finally see some love for Symphonium Dream by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, perhaps the most underrated country rock album ever.
P.S. You need more Love albums, as well as Can and Gong.
I recommend Firefall and Point Blank especially both bands' 1976 and 1977 albums. I think your dad will love them
Another good video , well done on the subs going up fast 👌My old carpentry teacher was a sound engineer for the undertones ! Weird eh lol
Love the Skynyrd...have all of their LPs, pre-plane crash. Enjoyed looking at your collection.
Another top post - great see your collection, cheers
Love this video respect to you both could listen to you both all day keep the okd music going
Sharing a passion together is really fantastic.
New to your channel it's very good your Steve Miller box set looked good some great albums in your collection alas I live in a small house and there is only so much room for records mind you it don't stop me collecting records just like your dad it a life long thing stay cool guys✌️💓🎸🇨🇮
Another excellent video. Good to see Steely Dan in there. What about Joni Mitchell and the wonderful 'The Hissing of Summer Lawns'!
Hi, first time posting on your channel. Enjoy you and your dad discussing your album collection. No Badfinger or Poco ? Keep the videos coming. Bryan from Kansas City says peace be with you.
Thank you!
So happy your dad loves Phish. He has amazing taste.
Snowing here in California as well..I hate it! lol...Hey, guys where is your Kansas? Niamh, good to see you're into some good music!!! Surprised to not see Tool in there.
I could see my daughter and I doing the same video with my record collection.
Great collection.
Quicksilver Excellent! I must find the time to check out "Phish" ✌
I love that you understand your Dad's choices. I hated my Dad's classical opera. My son likes some proggy stuff so some of my tastes rubbed off. He started listening to hawkwind the other week and came out of hmv with 3 albums! There is hope...... hahaha!
Great collection.
My recommendations
Nick drake 3 albums
John martyn, solid air, bless the weather
Shelagh mcdonald Stargazer, and self titled
All great acoustic folky albums.
A bit surprised you had no Frank Zappa? However I enjoyed seeing so many of my albums too.
Surprised indeed. I was waiting for Hot Rats, Absolutely Free, and Overnight Sensation.
You might want to check out Moonflower by Santana, a mix of live recordings that has a lot more energy than the studio recordings. Also I think you might like Ozric Tentacles. Great channel guys that has introduced me to quite a lot of new music. Thanks, and keep it up.
I know your Dad loves The Grateful Dead, and other such Jam bands, has he ventured into the territory of "Widespread Panic" yet? They're a brilliant Jam band with elements of Southern rock, blues-rock, progressive rock, funk, and hard rock thrown in for good measure. My favorite album of their's is "'Til the Medicine Takes", but their first "Space Wrangler" might be a bit more accessible.
So great!
Ha I was going to ask about Mountain. Love them! Love Oasis too!
Still no Cardiacs!? :-) Love the collection videos
Is this the life....
Niamh, you should consider showing us all your various T shirts and Music paraphernalia, you seem to have a lot of that stuff.
Also, I didn't notice any Nick Drake in either of your collections... he's a must have artist in any good taste collection, simply because he was the complete artist... a superb singer, song writer and musician!.
Though usually considered a Folk artist, in my opinion he transcends the genre, and there are many people who would agree with me, because he appeals to a very diverse audience.
Some great recommendations here and some great artists for me to check out. I would say that Steven Wilson/Porcupine tree are one of the best new prog kings but I would disagree with anyone who says there is not great prog music currently. The metal side of prog is another angle which goes completely overlooked by a lot of prop nerds. Here are some classic newer prog bands some that lead into more extreme sounds.
Opeth (There best albums are produced by Steven Wilson) - Heavy progressive death metal first 9 albums last 4 albums more 70's inspired prog rock/metal.
Haken - First 3 albums prog rock last 3 prog metal (The British equivalent to Dream Theater)
Wobbler - Symphonic prog
Motorpsycho - Stoner/prog
Riverside/Lunatic soul - Same guy, one is prog metal the other is more prog folk.
The Dear Hunter - Prog folk/indie
There are tons more but I would recommend checking these out!
I was very surprised and happy to see the mars volta in the collection, and happy to know that his father enjoy the band. for me they are the best of our time.
lovely collection,im surprised your dad hasnt any LITTLE FEAT lps,they were a 70s american rock band
Yes!!! Little Feat are one of the best bands ever!!!
Todd's No World Order is amazing. Also, Zebop and Shango - both by Santana are brilliant.
Hi, I really enjoyed this. I'm in my early 30's and have a similar taste to your old man. Lots of tips here I will take advantage of!
How good are vinyl, it's such a rewarding hobby. It's expensive at times but hey what else are you going to spend your pennies on?
Have to say, I have been guilty of getting trapped in the early 70's with my listening. New music being rubbish is just a myth, there are so many amazing musicians and artists out there you just have to dive deeper now as the mainstream is pure garbage. I started listening to radio 6 in lockdown and it restored my faith in music a bit. (Although definitely not enough prog in it !)
Thanks, I've subscribed and look forward to more posts.
P.s I'm gutted at the lack of Neil Young in this collection. Check out On the Beach ⛱️ 🙂
I notice when you were going through the Rolling Stones you didn't have, Through the Past Darkly, great album
Gotta Love Love Love the band Love. Forever Changes is their masterpiece but the two previous albums are great also.
Love The RUTS!
Tangerine Dream! Nice! Those guys are my favorite. By chance are you familiar with the Italian band Goblin? If you haven't heard them, I highly recommend them, especially their album "Roller".
Brilliant collection and so lovely to see father and daughter working together. My only question is where are the Pink Floyd and Van der Graaf Generator albums?
My collection video features both!
Fantastic
No XTC ??? :). Great collection, thanks for the show ✌️
Hey! Love your posts! I’m 57 years old I live in Pennsylvania in the USA! Recently started listening to more prog! I can listen for hours to your Dad talking about his albums and music. Some cool prog bands I like other than the obvious ones are Camel, Spocks Beard, Focus, the first Utopia album, Manfred Mann, and so many more. Check out the Sea of Tranquility RUclips channel. Great content. Keep posting I’ll be watching! I love all types of music and love many of the bands your Dad likes. Flying Burrito Brothers, the Byrds, New Riders of the purple sage, the Grateful Dead , etc etc etc. You guys ever check out Kansas or Styx? Kansas Point of Know Return and Leftoverture are very good! Styx the Grand Illusion is awesome!
Mountain's Nantucket Sleigh Ride. Term doesn't refer to a sleigh ride in the snow. In olden times Nantucket was a whaling community on the island of Nantucket off the Southern part of Massachusetts. Large boats would drop teams of row boats with 5-6 people in them. When a whale was harpooned the largest whales would drag the boat around the ocean. A Nantucket sleigh ride
If humanity ever achieves a Utopian State its central feature will be the enjoyment of music, much like this wonderful family of audiophiles exploring their enormous vinyl collection and sharing it with the rest of us. We will then have to live to 200 in order to hear all of it.
Nantucket Sleighride by Mountain is such a familiar tune to me from my early childhood because it was used as the theme track to Weekend World, LWT's weekly political review programme, at the end of the 70s and the beginning of the 80s, hosted by the great, never bettered Brian Walden. At 7-8 I wasn't lured by politics but that coruscating theme tune etched an indelible impression in my memory.
Given the time period it feels whimsical to discover that it was a prog-rock track and not punk. I could completely have imagined it as a punk track as well because of the paint-stripping feel to the whole melody.

Dear Niamh,
now I've seen a lot of good and interesting stuff and there's a bunch of albums for me to discover, especially in your collection. I wonder how you guys feel about Jazz Fusion. Especially in the 70's. Saw a Weather Report LP (sorry - on your dad's video I skipped a bit ). What do you think of classics like Bitches Brew or Birds of Fire? Greetings from Germany. Alpha.
forever changes is in my opinion one of the finest records from 50 some years, and its sadly under the radar for most people, what about brinsey swartz records,which are also great,ive seen graham parsons a lot and the burrito bros more than a few times.i loved quicksilver messanger service very good in person .do you have curved air?haha funny i was going to buy folklore. ok traffic were one of the worlds great bands ,simply put a treasure.wild turkey , saw them ounce in a small club across the street from the beach . thanks for putting this out for everyone.stay safe .KTF
So lovely to see the great relationship you have with your Dad. Kula Shaker loses him a few points, though! ha!
I luv your S.C.Tee. I phish yeah!.You both have great taste!..Ps im inclined to think the original steve Miller band were More or less a Marin county band since Steve miller hung an recorded at a home built studio near stinson beach.North of Fairfax less then 20 miles.40miles S.F.
Oh yessss I adore both of those Oasis albums! ❤️
❤️ Perfect 👌
Idk if you know them already but King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard is a great band and their album Polygondwanaland is also proggy. Would absolutely reccomend them, worth a listen!!
So rad love when your dad is on
Back in the day i mostly listened to mainstream stuff. There's nothing wrong with some loud jamming rock & roll. But when i needed a break, prog was it. Great collection those were the best days. Best music ever.
