XX by The XX.

If you haven't heard of them, they are well worth a listen, no other album like it.

Bugger. Somebody beat me to TPP. Well sod it, that's my choice too. More than music for me, a part of my inner soul, and sounds exactly how i think - even today.
Sorry KJ, was surprised someone hadn't beat me to TPP as well. Can't agree more with your words, got the album in 1979 (my first record) and it has been a constant ever since.

Although his direction since 2000 or so is (I think) brilliant and live he just gets better every time I see him, the whole soundscape of TPP will never be bettered in my opinion.
Got me tickets for the Friday night show in London. As you say, what a live performer. Can't be bettered. Yep, things took a turn for the better with Pure, and Splinter is genius.

It will change day in day out but at the moment I have a choice of two; Amused to Death by Roger Waters and Walking On A Dream by Empire of the Sun.

Amused to Death is sat at my house, 8000 miles away, in brand new remastered vinyl format. For that reason it never strays far from my thoughts. Walking On A Dream; well, I can't explain it really. It just gets regular rotation in the selym household. The wife even likes it; that is a bonus.

Then there is Quadrophenia.....Pet Sounds......Searching For The Young Soul Rebels (utterly brilliant)......this is too hard.

Possibly Pocketful of Kryptonite by Spin Doctors, or Lemonheads' It's a shame about Ray. Or Abacab. This isn't fair.

Bought it 20 years ago, still listen to it regularly, and it still makes my hair stand on end (what's left of it).

Hmm, difficult question to answer.

Stones Exile On Main Street has been a favourite for around 30 years. IMO the Stones at their peak for music and general Keefness.

Often listen to Let It Bleed and Sticky Fingers straight after.
