The Long Run - Eagles

I posted a song from this album in Song thread earlier today. 'I Can't Tell You Why'.

I don't own any albums, only CDs (and 90% are classical music), but I enjoy listening to album recordings on YouTube. Recently I have been listening to Paul McCartney. 'Calico Skies' is a favorite. I'm not sure what all his albums are called.

[KittensScareMe]

I'm a 90's baby so my first band I was totally obsessed with a a wee child was Spicegirls! "Spice-Spicegirls"

My stepdad was a huge Nirvana fan and growing up this album "Nevermind-Nirvana" was playing in my house a lot and Pink Floyd The Wall was on tv a lot, it was my favourite even though it scared me. Jimi Hendrix, AC/DC and Prince were also good ones too.

My mother was a Cranberries fan and she had the album "No need to Argue-Cranberries"

I had an awesome childhood with great music.

Hi, Tery !

I was thinking of this the other day in the car - I still listen to CDs and I was thinking of what I like to listen to without skipping a single song, excluding "Best of"or "Greatest Hits"

Van Morrison - Moondance
Pearl Jam - Ten
Sting - Ten Summoners Tales
Oasis -What's the Story Morning Glory
Sarah McLachlan - Fumbling Towards Ecstasy
Indigo Girls - Closer to Fine
Dave Matthews Band - Remember Two Things

That's as far as I got - but pretty much everything Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin too.

Diamonds On The Soles Of Her Shoes



I used to listen to his Kelly's Heroes soundtrack. And the Thunderball soundtrack. I loved soundtracks when I was young.

Me too with Diamonds on the soles of her shoes! Waka waka- Ladysmith Black Mambazo sang waka waka before Shakira

Edit: Oops - most of those are not vinyl. My vinyl days were back in the time of Disco - Abba, Donna Summer, BeeGees - say sorry, Sai - I did have The Long Run and Rumors - loved them. And lots of Elvis.

 

[GNTLGNT]

.,..I had a large collection of 33 1/3's....so I pretty much rotated between my pantheon of favorites, ZZ Top, AC/DC, Kiss, Aerosmith, Foghat, Nugent, Pink Floyd, Bob Seger and the like....then if I was in a mellower mood I would go to John Denver, Jim Croce, Air Supply, Carpenters etc.....
