Queen, Queen II, classic Queen from their early days and full of experimental rock. An old friend followed by Hawkwind Live 79, a group I've seen live many times starting a year or two after this was produced and they never fail to give a great show. Flac via Audirvana/Hugo

The Who - Live at Leeds on original vinyl. My first ever live album. Must have been passed around school numerous times and played on some pretty awful kit. With a good clean still enjoyable, and refreshingly atmospheric!

Agree, Dave. The lyrics are also a little disturbing but beautifully sang. New to me and first listen from a bunch of CDs I've been given and just ripped.

Never thought I would see this up on here. Once danced the congo with him and the audience (the small number that was there) across a stage and up and down the aisles at one of his gigs. Long story.
