Desert Island Discs - The LP's

[cherryowen]

Following on from Wacky Racer's DID singles edition, this 'ere is for the albums. When I thought about it, reading WR's OP, I knew I couldn't narrow it down to 20 individual tunes but I suspected I could table 20 LP's that I know I can re-visit again and again.

So:-

Albert King : Live Wire / Blues Power
John Mayall's Bluesbreakers : "The Beano Album"
Steely Dan : The Royal Scam
Steely Dan : Aja
Van Halen : Van Halen
Dire Straits : Love Over Gold
Marillion : Script for a Jester's Tear
Genesis : Trespass
Marillion : Clutching at Straws
Pearl Jam : Ten
Soundgarden : Superunknown
Megadeth : Rust In Peace
Underworld : Dubnobasswithmyheadman
Underworld : Second Toughest in the Infants
Smashing Pumpkins : Siamese Dream
Led Zeppelin : Led Zep 2
Black Sabbath : Black Sabbath
Northern Exposure 1 : Sasha & John Digweed
Soundgarden : Down On The Upside
Kruder & Dorfmeister : The K & D Sessions

The floor is open............
