Wow, Rob!! Thanks so much for the massive shoutout and response video! You and I definitely share a deep appreciation of both Beatles and U2; I've long known your depth of knowledge about the Canadian independent music scene (I'm still bummed I can't access CBC Radio 3 anymore- I fell hard for several Canadian indie bands like Ought, Japandroids, July Talk and others). Thanks again and Happy Sunday!!
Always enjoy hearing your musical journey and landmark albums. I can think of 3 or 4 right away, the 5th one I’d need to weight up a bit I think. Now off to listen to some Luke Doucet! ✌️
I always love to hear you talk about Blue Rodeo so fondly, Rob. I really like The Days in Between, too. I like how you said, “The Beatles are gods. These guys are people.” The names are spelled differently, so I guess Luke Doucet is not related to Jerry Doucette, is he?
My five albums that define me: (1) Also, "Beatlemania! With The Beatles". From my parent's record collection. They also had "Beatles' 65". I first played them the day after John Lennon was murdered in 1980. I played "Beatlemania! With The Beatles" first. And that started my love of popular music. (2) The Beatles "1967 - 1970" The first album I bought with my own money, and the album that convinced me to get The Beatles' full catalog. (3) The Beach Boys "Pet Sounds". This introduced me to more quiet and introspective music. And started my appreciation for music production. (4) The "Black Sabbath" and "Led Zeppelin" debut albums. These albums, bought on the same day, introduced me to hard rock, in 1983. (5) Mariah Carey "Music Box". This album fully got me to appreciate pop music. Now, I mostly buy new pop music and classic rock re-issues. Throughout the 1980's, the only pop music I had, was some Bananarama albums and two Belinda Carlisle solo albums. Why Bananarama, who knows? I was so entranced by them, I still am. ha! "Music Box" opened my ears to all pop music and black artists. Honorable Mention: Robert Johnson "The Complete Recordings". This set got me into the blues, one of my favorite genres of music.
Excellent video, Rob! Some cool surprises, too. Achtung Baby really got my attention, too. I think it is still my favorite U2 record, but the other ones you mention are contenders, too. I have to say, I love the production values of your videos, too. Bravo all around!
Great look into the man and his music journey. Thank you Rob 😊

@@richards5280 youre welcome Richard. Hopefully it drives some viewers your way. You’re a natural.
A definite Rob list. Great hearing the stories, and great seeing Oasis, as always.
