Thanks Listeri69. Does that mean we are actually trendy, or just haven't got the hang of this new-fangled digital download thingy? (why won't this little shiny thing play on my record player?)

You have started something big here!

Correct me if I'm wrong but im pretty sure the charts go off digital downloads as well these days. I've said for years there is a market out there a HUGE one for people who think modern music is not really their true taste, im not saying its rubbish before we start a whole different argument, Im saying its more the songs you actually listen to whichever style it is from the past 60 years or longer, the fact that a black sabbath album can get to number 1 proves the point. there still is a market for prog rock, glam rock, punk rock (70's style) post-punk, new romantics ect ect because people of the age the genre came out originally will buy them, and I don't just mean by the bands of the era, I mean new bands, new music in that style. Hard to really explain but say a band did an album of songs in the 60's beatles style people would buy it, not covers new material and the same goes for every other band/era you can think of............


P.S I think were getting off topic from the original post :D

*see page 1 for details* lol

Procul Harum - Whiter Shade of Pale
Roxy Music - Virginia Plain
Queen - Seven Seas of Rye
Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb

10:4 brother (or sister). Also One World also a great track and album. Please include Nick Drake - he almost made it to the list, so please honour him on my behalf!

Never got to see John Martyn live - went to two gigs that were cancelled because of his health and then he sadly passed away :(

Pink Floyd – Echoes
Bach – Goldberg Variations
Quicksilver Messenger Service – Who Do You Love? (Suite)
King Crimson – The Court of the Crimson King
Nick Drake – Fruit Tree
Holst – Neptune (the Mystic)

Some good calls there guys! Ramble on, Solid air, lots of others wonderful tracks. Mine were all melancholy, but Blinded by the Light and Solisbury Hill both make you feel good to be alive, and Cody I like you too mix Classical and and Rock (Court of the Crimson King was the first LP I bought!). (Of course you could mix Manfred Mann and Holst with Joybringer!)

Not sure if these tracks represent our "mature" status, or the fact that a lot of music now is for dancing to rather than listening to? But lots there making their way onto my ipod too....

So... you've been stranded in deep space, you've got your book, your luxury, and your eight tracks. Which is the first track you realise you should've included, but didn't? Mine is Journey of the Sorcerer... damn!
