2016 has arrived today, so time to start this thread afresh.
Last year's thread (and links to previous years) can be found here;

1978 - Original double live album...
From the antics of T&B between Frank and Terry to the surrealism of The Illinois Enema Bandit, I never get tired of this album. Not forgetting some memorable solos. Pure Zappa.
Brilliant, hook-laden 1979 debut album. The late Ricky Wilson was a great guitarist. UK first press vinyl:

Their rather fine debut album. Americana mixed in with a liquorice all sorts of other styles. Well written, nicely played and very easy to listen to.

David Gray - "Draw The Line" (2009)
Wav Superbly recorded live album from Fink "Wheels turn beneath my feet"

Very much an English prog-rock band Goodbye to the Age of Steam was Big Big Train's first album, originally released in 1994 on the GEP label, unavailable for many years it was re-issued on 18th April 2011.

1970 - Original vinyl...
Syd had so much talent and it must have been really hard for people around him to witness his self destruction. His legacy lives on.

Elizabeth & the Catapult - "Taller Children" (2009)
Can't think of a reason WHY - but its sounding tremendous. CD rip.

Alanis Morissette, Jagged Little Pill, an album I loved when it first came out, sadly she was beyond boring live and one of only two gigs I have ever left early. Still, it's still a good album. Flac via Audirvana/Hugo
Trawling the upnp artist list & haven't played this for a long time.
CD rip.
This is a really terrific album.


Fiona Apple - "Extraordinary Machine" (2005)

Jerry Joseph - "Cherry" (2004)

Exquisite interaction playing relaxed bop standards. Recorded in 1997.
David Bowie-Blackstar
Jerry Garcia/David Grisman-Shady Grove

Mellow prog rock to start the day with some nice mellotron being heard.
Lyrics are complete tosh, but with Simple Minds in full stadium rock mode, this is a great album (especially on my drive in on this gorgeous, surprisingly traffic free morning).
A good start to the day ![]()
