I should have bought it years ago....

graham,
Astral Weeks is an all time favorite.

Tracks 2 and 3 are the absolute highlights on Grace, for me at least.

Graham

"Grace" is good, but I very much prefer "Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk". Best of the studio Buckley, IMO. Live stuff is another matter (my vote goes to "Live at the Bataclan", hands down).

I played tracks 1, 2, 3 & 6 - afraid it just don't do it for me. I'll put it back in the collection and try it again in another year.

Fair enough. You gave it a spin.


The Jayhawks -- "Sound of Lies" & "Hollywood Townhall"

These are more like minor classics, from the Midwest Indy scene in the early nineties. They're very good.

dn'l,

IMHO Shuggie's "Inspiration Information" is a true classic. Apparently folks in the know about the black arts of studio wizardry still shake their heads over how he pulled off some of the things he did on there, using circa 1973 technology.

Kraftwerk The Man Machine

I was listening to Mark Radcliffe's late night R2 show a few weeks back. He played a track from this LP and said it was one of two must have releases, the other being Trans Europe Express.

Having bought both I can only think why on earth I never invested before. Almost the whpole of 80's electropop is derived from this disk. Give it a go.

jayd,
It blows me away too. I listen to it and keep thinking "and why do we think Beck is so fresh?" And I actually like Beck. Shuggie, he had something special going on in 1973. And he was all of 20! Or 22, or whatever -- he was young.

After the discussions here I had to buy Jeff Buckley - Grace; whow I should have bought it years ago...

All memorable classics. You really had to be there though.

Hmmm... I'm not sure that being alive at the time counts as having been there, in my case, since I first heard of them in 1978! [I didn't get to listen to much pop music when I was young]. As far as I know the first time I heard one of their songs, I Get Around, was during the following two years - an unforgettable experience. At the time, I didn't know it was by The Beach Boys .

Hard to believe I did not have this one in the collection.

Led Zeppelin IV.

I did have the two disc best of album - Remasters - that was it - don't know why - situation now resolved and now have a good LZ collection.

Will be intersting to hear your thoughts on the various discs. It's a great pub debate - those who love 'em versus those who don't understand the hype

I just discovered Oingo Boingo popular in the eighties. Fun stuff. Led by Danny Elfman who's music has appeared on quite a few movie soundtracks since. I've been able to get 4 out of their first 6 releases so far. Any fans out there?
