I’ve only got room for 100 albums on my iPod. This is my ultimate, and very personal, selection…
Fairport Convention: Liege & Lief
Songs that sound they were written in about 1600 but made relevant for the modern era in 1969. One of my very favourite records.
AC/DC: Back in Black
Brian Johnson’s first outing after stepping into Bon Scott’s shoes as AC/DC’s helmsman. And what a triumph!
The Stone Roses: Second Coming
I remember the anticipation we felt at school in Manchester having waiting the five years from the Roses’ debut to their second album. Then I remember not understanding why people were disappointed. If you were a Led Zep fan, and I was and am, you’re gonna love this album.
John Coltrane: A Love Supreme
Coltrane. This just demands to be listened to, preferably sat in my knackered leather armchair with a glass of something in one hand and something to smoke in t’other.
Neil Young: Harvest
This album seems to have always been there – at school, at Uni, ever since. Almost everyone I know has a copy.
