Classic Album Sundays

I might be interested if the albums being held up weren't so predictable, but this is reading like one of those lists that Q magazine used to trot out when it hadn't got enough interviews. People on here don't seem to have done enough listening if they cite some of these albums as remarkable - a lot of these are givens.. you should have played them to death and have got over them years ago unless you're under 20. I'm not even into a lot of the music mentioned yet I still recognise the albums. There are a lot more remarkable albums out there than these well-known, well-hyped and well-sold records. I mean David Bowie? Kate Bush? The Beatles? Really??

Don't get me wrong, some of the well-known stuff still gives, but music is so vast and so nourishing that really, a lot of these just get blown out of the water once you venture away from the HMV rock 'n' pop shelves. I imagine a film night along the same lines would include Taxi Driver and Citizen Kane.. I mean great if a young adulthood of techno and house now makes you gasp in wonder at the most well-known works of the most well-known recording artists of the previous generation, but the time could be better spent listening properly to things that could enrich your musical direction for the decades to come.

just my opinion, and most people have one when it comes to music I suppose.

phil,

i only just saw this. bang on. *hi-ten.

it does sounds like a nice idea (bit chin-strokey, but hey that's cool). i have to say i wholeheartedly agree with pajamas point on the playlist point though.
