    I think I have all of those albums - even John Martyn and Yoshimi!

    Prefer Wish You were Here and Meddle to Dark Side - I know, heresy!


    Otherwise a pretty solid selection, but I'd add Metallica Black Album, Richard and Linda Thompson - Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight and maybe Liege & Lief by Fairport. Oh and the meat locker album by Edgar Broughton..... and, and.... thankless task

    I’d spotted the John Martin/Martyn thing. That actually was my iPad thinking it knows best.
    Agree about Liege and Lief and I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight...both great albums and memories.
    ‘Sing Brother Sing’ by Edgar Broughton was a bit of a cult 6th form album for me and they were the second live band I went to see...at Manchester University...when I was still at school. Deep Purple was the first about a week before in late 1970.

    So many good music venues in Manchester back then...Deep Purple, Edgar Broughton, Matthews Southern Comfort, Spirit, Lou Reed, Leonard Cohen, Joe Cocker, David Bowie, James Taylor, Carole King, Van Morrison, ELP, Rory Gallagher, Steeleye Span, Genesis,
    Lindisfarne and Roy Harper all amongst the memories and when they were on at Manchester Uni. or Poly or Salford Uni. as long as you could convince someone to sign you in, never a problem, it was cheap and ticketless.

    Yes Tricky I will go with Dire straits and I'm a fan of Sia very talented Afraid I can't stand Queen or Police. U2 I like a lot of their singles not really heard their albums apart from the Johsua Tree

    Agree 100% regarding Queen and Police, Mista. I'll add Genesis too the list of overrated and obnoxious too, before anyone extols their virtues. I expect a *******ing from Moderator Andy for part of the aboce!
