Not necessarily my favourite albums - but they are the ones I listen to more often than not, especially when I’m auditioning new equipment etc!
Favourites would probably all be albums from Gary Numan

Fascinating doc about the album too

Blimey! It’s good to see Frank make it onto someone’s list. If I’d had to write this list 20 years ago, Once Around the World would have been at the top of my list!!

Whilst Rubber Soul would be most welcome, I’d like to see a remix of the tracks on the Magical Mystery Tour double EP - preferably in 12” format as I fear a cueing error off the edge of a 7” single with an Aro.

As with many others, each week lists would be different. In theory with Melco and Bubble Upnp I should get a list, except a recent new tablet means everything previous is lost. Then on a whim, I might swop to vinyl, no list.
I therefore asked dearly beloved, in no particular order
Joe Cocker - Sheffield Steel
Ini Kamoze - Ini Kamoze
Fat Freddys Drop - Based On A True Story
Black Uhuru - Anthem
Lincoln Durham - The Shovel vs The Howling Bones
Lady Maisery - Weave and Spin
The Congos - Heart Of The Congos
Gong - Gazeuse
Fay Hield - Old Adam
Rhiannon Giddens - Tomorrow Is My Turn
I could easily be back tomorrow with another ten.

That’s the trouble with lists 10 minutes after you finish it you realise you’ve left albums out.

Electric Ladyland - Jimi Hendrix Experience in my case
I could write another list.

Ian, I’m not a snob! So-called ‘bleeding chunks’ of Wagner used to be very popular. Even the great Otto Klemperer, no less, released four volumes of them on EMI LPs in the 1970s (or thereabouts).
And I think that Adrian Boult released three, also on EMI.
I hope that I’m allowed to tell the only amusing Adrian Boult ‘funny’ that I know of. Sir Thomas Beecham once made the following immortal remark : ‘Sir Adrian Boult came to see me this morning, reeking of Horlicks as usual’.

‘Electric Ladyland’ gave a glimpse into where Jimi Hendrix might have ventured if the wretched drugs hadn’t done for him. An immense pair of LPs!

Unless you have an something recording/analysing play, it is all down to memory/guesstimation, and inevitably far from accurate (unless you have only played 10 different albums in recent past)
