Varied selection there Jay.

Great list from Naelifts.

IHE, were Canned Heat not before your time?

[DJS]

Just five - that's tough.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - Damn the Torpedoes

A quality rock and roll album from start to finish. No duff tracks here and I still listen to it very regularly

Blondie - Parallel Lines

Mentioned by others and so easy on the ears. Ms Harry was of course very easy on the eyes.

Fleetwood Mac - Tusk

Just shades Rumours for me. Folky, moody, quirky - one to play late on a stormy winter's night.

Bruce Springsteen - Born to Run

It seemed pretty good back then and it's grown on me even more as the years have gone by. The Boss at his best.

Larry Norman - In Another Land

An eclectic mix of outstanding songs from the Christian rocker who died in February.

[Lady Madonna]

The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds (A heartbreaking masterpiece!)

The Beatles - The White Album

Jeff Buckley - Grace

Nick Drake - Five Leaves Left

Bob Dylan - Modern Times

[The Mantis]

Bob Dylan - Modern Times

You must be a very wise teenager given your other four

[Scotty]

Surprised no-one has mentioned "Bat out of Hell" by Meatloaf .... It seemed to be a requirement in most older siblings record collections when I was a teenager, in fact I still have it to this day.

[The Mantis]

For some of us, our teenage years are a bit hard to remember. Also counting to five gets a bit harder as you get older.....

Mott the Hoople - Mott

Wings - Band on the Run

Yes - The Yes Album

ELP - Trilogy

Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells

Special mention to:

Rick Wakeman - Six Wives of Henry VIII

ELP - Brain Salad Surgery

Rod Stewart - Every Picture Tells a Story

Alice Cooper - Killer

CSNY - Deja-Vu

Deep Purple - In Rock

Led Zeppelin - 3

ELO - Eldorado

Focus - Moving Waves

Genesis - Selling England by the Pound

John Lennon - Imagine

Paul McCartney - Ram

Ian Hunter - Ian Hunter

Jethro Tull - Aqualung

Lindisfarne - Fog on the Tyne

Paul Simon - Paul Simon

P.F.M. - Cook

Queen - Sheer Heart Attack

Wishbone Ash - Argus

David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust

Bob Dylan - Blood on the Tracks

Also one or two cheats since I was probably too old/young to be a teenager at the time:

Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here

Beatles - Revolver

Steve Forbert - Alive on Arrival

Boomtown Rats - Tonic For the Troops

Stranglers - Rattus Norvegicus

Kate Bush - The Kick Inside

Meat Loaf - Bat out of Hell

Iron Maiden - Iron Maiden

Scorpions - Lonesome Crow

Ted Nugent - Paralized

Judas Priest - Live in Japan

Black Sabbath - We Sold Our Souls

shame it's only 5

[RossP]

Mine in no order of preference would probably include:

Rage Against the Machine - Evil Empire

Sigur Ros - ?g?tis byrjun

Far - Water & Solutions

Mogwai - Come on Die Young

Therapy? - Troublegum

That list would most likely change quite regularly, but i'm pretty happy with the selection.

Great call Mantis, that was like having a cyber rummage thru all the Great L.P's eh'd forgot about ....Brain salad surgey !!! feckin qaulity..... Lindisfarne,seen them several times at Newcastle toon hall and still play meet me on the corner as my party piece on the geetar, Ziggy goes wi oot saying. Wings "Band on the run" eh had my first teeenage fumblings at a party in Kirkton to that,and eh can even forgive you Rod the mod as i seen him at the Caird hall in the seventies so he was relevant to meh teenage delinquency.

Seriously thinkin oh going to get a ticket for Wishbone Ash at the Ironworks on Sunday now :thumb04:

[The Mantis]

Sorry to hijack your thread Smee, with me a mod an' all, rap on the knuckles. Done an edit for you.

Dee, I would go an see Wishbone. Me & Naelifts went to see them this year. A bit light on the old back catalogue it has to be said, but a decent night just the same.

Rod the Mod - never seen him since the merger

Seriously though, Rod and the Faces were great, it's just he went soft in the mid 70s. I blame it all on Britt Ekland....

[BornCaley]
