I've seen a ton of these VC 'most listened to' videos and I really like your selections. One of the fun things about collecting records is that no two music lovers would ever come up with the same list of ten albums. The universe of recorded music is so vast, the possibilities and different combinations are mind boggling. Your list is pretty darned good!
Hi, thanks for your kind comment. You are so right about no two people have the same list. The amount of music out there is staggering and at times overwhelming, but we sure have a lot of fun discovering music that is new to us. Thanks again, and take care
Hi 👋 Fantastic that you have that wonderful memory of the White album by the Beatles on your 13th birthday. I'm in my sixties and spent my childhood in the 1960s. I loved the Beatles. They excited me when i heard them back then. REM were a great band. Lots of excellent albums and songs by them. I bought their debut album Murmur in 1983 on vinyl. Rolling Stones put out such good albums . They have made a huge contribution to rock music. And they are still going today. Velvet Underground are excellent. I like Lou Reeds vocals. His collaboration with David Bowie for the album Transformer in 1972 is cool. Stooges were amazing with the crazy good Iggy Pop. I always have liked Alice Coopers song Only woman Bleed from 1975. The Smiths are a 1980s band that I enjoyed. Good records. Thanks.
That's the magic of records , that they bring back memories of significant events in one's life. I was 8 years old when I first saw the Beatles on television, and I've loved them ever since. I'm in my 60s too, so I know where you're coming from. Thanks so much for your kind comments and thank you for watching, I'm glad you liked the video, take care.

@@ianemery4355 Surprised to see Red Noise, didn't think anyone even had that besides me. Wall of Voodoo is a great album. Icicle Works, I just picked up one of their albums, good stuff. Wire 154 is a good choice, like it almost as much as Pink Flag. Any Black Sabbath is cool, 10cc's first LP is awesome. Even your honourable mentions are great choices, love the Doors, the Who, and Sisters of Mercy. Great choices there, Ian, thanks for sharing that with me. Take care and talk to you later.
Hi Micheal .. I enjoyed seeing what your choices would be I also like adventures in hi fi .. and I have a copies of that traffic and stones albums .. great smiths album .. thanks for sharing 👍
Hi Rob, if I was to do another of these videos, it would be totally different. There are so many great albums that I often return to, but these are the ones that really had an effect on me, some even shaped my musical taste. Thanks for taking time to watch and comment, Cheers! Michael🖖✌👍
Really cool selection Sir, lot of classics, bands or artists i grew up listenning to and still do today. The Beatles is my all-time favorite and their double white-album is a must-have record of course. And Hendrix of course, i love this guitar genius since the age of 14, long time ago haha. really cool
Hi Michael! New to your channel and just subscribed. First thing I noticed was that Birthday Party “Mutiny” EP over your shoulder. I still have my copy I picked up when it was first released. Wild! Beggars Banquet is essential. Hendrix, Velvet Underground, Traffic. I have all of those albums. I am almost a Traffic completist. 😊
Hi, Thanks for tuning in and subscribing. I also have the Bad Seed EP by the Birthday Party, I picked them both up in the 80s, as I was into all the punk and post punk that was coming out at that time. I always loved Beggar's Banquet, I think it's the Stones best. And all the others are essential listening. Thanks again for the sub🙃👍
Love your choices Michael, I’m listening to a lot of post punk at the moment, Cardiacs - A Little Man and A House and The Whole World Window (adore this album), House of Love - House of Love (Butterfly Album), Felt - Forever Breathes the Lonely Word, The Sound - From The Lions Mouth, Alice Cooper Band - Billion Dollar Babies and The Chameleons - Script of the Bridge!!! Know you would love Billion Dollar Babies, but the rest of these albums are amazing, took me decades of collecting to find these bands!!! Love your channel and you diverse tastes in brilliant music!!!
Hi Keith, some of the bands you mentioned I've never heard, but I do have Felt Forever Breathes, and Chameleons Script of the Bridge. I also have the Chameleons other albums and a few others by Felt. I have all of the Alice Cooper Band albums, including Billion Dollar Babies. I will check out some of the others you mentioned. Thanks for your kind words and for tuning in, Take care.
Your music tastes are very similar to mine, in fact I have every album you showed, although your pressings are rarer than mine for the most part. Great collection!
Nice list. I agree about Beggars Banquet but I give Let It Bleed more playtime. It's a sentimental choice since my first concert was the Stones in '69 on the Let It Bleed tour.
Cool you saw the Stones on that tour, I saw them for Exile on Main Street tour. Let it Bleed is probably my second most played Stones album. Thanks for your comments, glad you enjoyed it.
I watched this one at work.. Excellent records, most definitely ! I think " Love It To Death" was an interesting one for you to show, because I... need one ! Haha. Everything in the right time and place I always tell myself. See you, Michael 😊
Hi Jt, must be nice to be able to watch videos at work! LOL Love it to Death was my introduction to Alice Cooper, and I've loved it to death ever since! I think you'll find a decent copy before too long. Thanks for tuning in Jt, and take care.
@@nearwildheaven4840 Yeah, Michael.. I was just at Amoeba in San Francisco, I wish I would have remembered to look in the Alice bins.. Oh well, you are right, I will run into a good copy, soon enough. Killer and Love it To Death were my first pretty much simultaneously ! ( 1971-72 ).✌️
@@nearwildheaven4840 I am fortunate about watching vids, or at least chatting onlune at work ! I have to watch it, though..Be careful not to push it. I sell American built furniture, so there is so down time in between !
Love it to Death was the first album by Alice Cooper that I ever heard, and it's still my favorite. I'll check out your video too. Thanks for watching and take care.
My top twelve (in no particular order) are Let it Be, Abbey Road, Help!, A Hard Day's Night, Revolver, Rubber Soul, The Kick Inside, Lionheart, Never For Ever, The Dreaming, Hounds of Love, and Aerial. Yes, you guessed it! I'm a huge Beatles and Kate Bush fan. lol.
These are my 10 Favorite albums and the year they became Favorites: 1970: Sgt. Peppers ~ Beatles 1970: Let It Be ~ Beatles 1971: Get Yer Ya Yas Out ~ Rolling Stones 1971: Pendulum ~ Creedence Clearwater Revival 1973: Close to the Edge ~ Yes 1973: Yessongs ~ Yes 1973: Houses of the Holy ~ Zep 1973: Goats Head Soup ~ Rolling Stones 1977: Aja ~ Steely Dan 1982: Rock in a Hard Place - Aerosmith BUT these are my 4 MOST PLAYED albums (by virtue of the CD’s always being in my car) which I guess must mean they are also Favorites: 1990: Waiting for Cousteau - Jean Michel Jarre 2006: Metamorphoses - Jean Michel Jarre 2017: Equinox Infinity - Jean Michel Jarre 2018: Moonloop [Transmission IV] - Porcupine Tree Note that they are a completely different style of music than the first 10. The first and last one are great for reading, which means they get a lot of air time.
Excellent choices on your 10 favorites list, I have most of those albums in my collection. Not familiar with Porcupine Tree, but I know of Jean Michel Jarre, and I think his music is perfect for driving. Thanks so much for comments, Cheers, and take care.
@@nearwildheaven4840 If the purpose of your channel is to share and inform viewers of favorite albums and hopefully get a conversation going, well here goes… I see you like some really OUT THERE albums so you might like what I am going to share. I ignored Porcupine Tree for several years because the name was soo dumb. But then I read about them in stereo magazines, and they seemed interesting. They had a fan club in the Amazon Forums at that time and people were saying this was THE BEST BAND YOU’VE NEVER HEARD. At that time (2008) I did not know that you could use TH-cam videos as a radio, to find and play anything you want. So I listened to limited selections on Pandora. Then I bought an album ~ “The Sky Moves Sideways” ~ and they instantly became my new favorite band. I went and bought everything they made. They are one of the best recorded bands out there and every record sounds immaculate. So much so that the bands leader, Steven Wilson, has become a go-to producer. They sound very Floydian ~ their first albums are like Pink Floyd on drugs while their later albums are like Pink Floyd on metal. They are an albums band with many psychedelic tracks and 3 of their albums are basically instrumentals. I would not be surprised if their average song length is 6 minutes long. Their first album is like a strange acid popsicle. But the rest are progressive rock, several of which are concept albums. Obviously, I am taking all this time to tell you this because I am a Fan. But if you don’t try them, you would never know if you would like them. And as we get older, good music becomes harder to find. Take 1 minute out of your day and give a quick listen to my favorite song of theirs ~ imagine Pink Floyd meeting The Beach Boys: th-cam.com/video/dcxzpvJjFjc/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for your kind comments, I'm glad you liked my selections. It blows my mind that people are still watching this video after being up for well over a month. It's one of my most watched videos. Thanks again, and take care.
Very solid list sir! Some of my favourites on there for sure. Are you experienced? might be my #1 most played album from the last couple of years tbh. New sub take care cheers
I had a hard time deciding which Hendrix album to show, it was down to Experienced or Axis Bold as Love, and as you can see, Experience won out. Thanks for subbing me, I'll do the same for you. take care.
@@nearwildheaven4840 I think it’s my current favourite of theirs, but it has been all 3 studio albums at various points! I also think Band of Gypsies is underrated. Many thanks I’ve only just started tbh, but I hope you can find something of interest. Take care
@@Stuck_in_the_70s Yeah, Band of Gypsies is excellent, I have the Australian pressing with the doll cover. If you like what I show, I'm sure I'll find plenty of interesting things on your channel. Thanks again for watching, ✌
@@nearwildheaven4840 yeah it’s a great album. I have a 1970 UK press on Track records with the puppet cover. Some people don’t like the cover, but I think it’s very cool. I also have a South African press from 1970 and I also have a repress from around 10 years ago as well, but I like the original UK press the best. Take care cheers
Hi Michael. I’m enjoying this thread and was interested to see your choices. I agree the first Hendrix album is the best. Different cover artwork in the UK. I also agree Fun House just has the edge over their debut. Not much of a fan of Traffic, except for their early very psychedelic stuff. Take care, John
Hi John, I had a hard time deciding which Hendrix LP, it was between Axis Bold As Love or the first one. Picking Funhouse was a no brainer. I like pretty much all of Traffic's output, John Barleycorn is a favorite of their post psych stuff, kind of a jazz influence. Thanks for watching John, and take care.
That was a great pile of wax Michael. The only one I never really got into was Traffic VU is so hard for me to choose. Always like getting into your musical mind Michael
I know what you mean about choosing a VU album. I almost chose Loaded, but the 1st album won that battle. It was my first exposure to them. Thanks for tuning in Steve, take care
Any Stones album past Goat's Head has always been a hit or miss for me. Although I do like Some Girls and Tattoo You. I like all of Traffic's LPs. Thanks for tuning in Dave.
About 5 out of 5 of those albums. Beggars is my choice of the best Stoners before they was a Taylor session band. Never had that cover or gatefold. Just the toilet sleeve. Others / Stooges /Velvet/ Hendrix / Alice ( snap!)
I've watched many of these "10 Most Listened To" threads and think that you've made really solid choices. I was especially heartened to see Beggars Banquet on the list - a choice not included on any of the other threads I've perused thus far. Now that the algorithm is feeding you to a larger audience, may I make a couple of suggestions (as a video professional): Get rid of the squeaky chair, turn off your auto-exposure, and set your white balance correctly! Otherwise, very cool, and peace and love to the peace and love generation.
Thanks for your nice comment, I tried to choose albums that other people have not shown, but there's still some overlap. I will consider your suggestions, but I use the camera on my laptop, and I know the picture quality is not that great, but it's all I have to work with right now. Thanks for tuning in and take care.
How about.. their satanic majesties request by the stones..sgt peppers by the beatles...the velvet underground and nico... the super session kooper stills and bloomfield...bookends Simon and Garfunkel.... bears choice the grateful dead...a love supreme john coltrane... Sticky fingers rolling stones...deslation angels bad company..and night in the ruts Aerosmith
@@nearwildheaven4840 yes sir I enjoyed your list . Any Beatles or sixties and seventies stones lpl is a great choice .. same with led zeppelin.. quicksilver messenger service.. bad company., si

1971: Get Yer Ya Yas Out ~ Rolling Stones
1971: Pendulum ~ Creedence Clearwater Revival
1973: Close to the Edge ~ Yes
1973: Yessongs ~ Yes
1973: Houses of the Holy ~ Zep
1973: Goats Head Soup ~ Rolling Stones
1977: Aja ~ Steely Dan
1982: Rock in a Hard Place - Aerosmith

Any Stones album past Goat's Head has always been a hit or miss for me. Although I do like Some Girls and Tattoo You. I like all of Traffic's LPs. Thanks for tuning in Dave.
About 5 out of 5 of those albums. Beggars is my choice of the best Stoners before they was a Taylor session band. Never had that cover or gatefold. Just the toilet sleeve. Others / Stooges /Velvet/ Hendrix / Alice ( snap!)
Yeah, I love Beggar's Banquet too. Thanks for watching.
Alain Delon Forever!
Yes! The Queen is Dead cover star was an excellent actor and father to Nico's son, Ari. Thanks for your comments.
I've watched many of these "10 Most Listened To" threads and think that you've made really solid choices. I was especially heartened to see Beggars Banquet on the list - a choice not included on any of the other threads I've perused thus far. Now that the algorithm is feeding you to a larger audience, may I make a couple of suggestions (as a video professional): Get rid of the squeaky chair, turn off your auto-exposure, and set your white balance correctly! Otherwise, very cool, and peace and love to the peace and love generation.
Thanks for your nice comment, I tried to choose albums that other people have not shown, but there's still some overlap. I will consider your suggestions, but I use the camera on my laptop, and I know the picture quality is not that great, but it's all I have to work with right now. Thanks for tuning in and take care.
Video professional???
