Great show as always, Daniel! This was a tough one since you have some lights out classics celebrating their 55th anniversary this month and some of my personal favorites celebrating #35. Disintegration was the first Cure album that I bought as a new release and those more cerebral tracks on its second half have really grown on me over the years. I also picked up Everybody Knows This is Nowhere around this time and I have adored this ever since. Yes, I was not as high on Chicago 17 when it came out but the craftsmanship on several of these tracks is undeniable and "Hard Habit to Break" and "You're the Inspiration" have become timeless. I love Crosby Stills and Nash's debut and it is still my favorite album from them with or without Neil. Here are ten more of my favorites: 1969: The Who - Tommy 1969: Skip Spence - Oar 1974: Bad Company - self-titled debut 1974: Gil Scott-Heron and Brian Jackson - Winter in America 1984: Echo & the Bunnymen - Ocean Rain 1984: Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble - Couldn't Stand the Weather 1989: The Stone Roses - self-titled debut 1989: Tin Machine - self-titled debut 1994: Toad the Wet Sprocket - Dulcinea 1994: Beastie Boys - Ill Communication
My normal extemporaneous thoughts on each choice: Sparks ~ l heard most of their catalog from a coworker when l worked at a record store. Even l know that this is a classic album including their stellar hit “This Town Ain’t Big Enough for Both of Us.” The Cure ~ Arguably my favorite album by them! Simply adore it. Saw them live on the Wish tour and their R&RHOF induction as well. Zappa ~ I’m sure Scotty The Kavebear 🐻 played that at Titus Oaks Record Exchange back in the day, but l just don’t recall this album. He was a huge Frank fan that l worked with, at the time this came out. The Neilster ~ Probably my favorite album by him. The record simply rocks. Chicago ~ Yes, it was six times platinum in the US. Four huge hits here including my fave, “Stay the Night.” Madness ~ Sorry to say I’m only familiar with some of their late 70s/early 80s fare. But l do recall you talking about this platter in a previous video. KISS ~ Dynasty is not as bad as the pundits say. Definitely some good stuff there. Love that hit single! Bowie ~ Dig the title cut, “Barney Rubble” and “1984.” Haven’t heard this album in quite a while. Boingo ~ Hey! I already commented on the album ranking with Sergeant Schnee! Boingo, Oingo Boingo, Wango Tango…whatevs. 🎵”l am The Elfman, goo-goo-ga-choo!”🎵 Bwhahahahahahahaha! CSN ~ 🎵”It’s getting to the point, where I’m getting punchy, forevermore / l am sorry… “🎵 Just kidding, very good debut record. Keep up the exquisite work you do here, Mista ‘legs! Cheers from The Big Apple. 🍎 Rock Out, Prog On and Pogo! His pal and ours, ~ The Diabolical, Diagonal, Dystopian, Dyspeptic Davey Cretin from CRETIN CLASSICS.
55(!!!) years since the release of this Neil Young masterpiece....still creating quality music, with or without the Horse... This month also marks the 35th anniversary of the release of "9", Public Image Limited's seventh studio album.
My favorite show of the month once again here's my top picks for May turning 55 the who's Tommy what can i say legendary turning 50 the kinks preservation act 2 not a popular favorite but i love it, and Edgar winter group shock treatment, turning 45 Kansas monolith a super underrated allbum and Steve Hackett spectral mornings, turning 40 Russ Ballard self titled, Chris de Burgh man on the line dan fogelberg windows and walls and released on my birthday may 29th the classic Tina Turner private dancer and turning 35 simple minds street fighting years Belfast child what a song, the fantastic Todd Rundgren nearly human and tin machine 😊
@@bicyclelegsmusic I know there's so many classic albums to pack into one month you can't mention them all I mean I totally forgot about the Crosby, stills and Nash album this month another awesome classic released on my birthday
Hi Daniel, I’ve had a great birthday today and I’ve been listening to a bit of Peter Gabriel’s 4th album which some of the tracks are absolutely fantastic!! 🤩👍
@@bicyclelegsmusic “The Family and the Fishing Net” is fantastic and “Shock the Monkey” is too, I can see why it’s your favourite Peter Gabriel album but I think the 3rd album and “So” are both a bit better in their respective ways!! 😌👍

It’s hard to fathom how old some of these albums are, isn’t it?
