Albums On Repeat

19 Mar 2009 0 Comments

Each week I will try to give you a bit of information about me, and what better way than a good ol’ fashioned list. This week? Albums.

There are some albums that you pick up, and the moment that last beat finishes, you are left emotionally distraught. So much power, depth, funkiness crammed into 60 minutes or so, and you have what it takes to have a great album. The albums that I choose are not necessarily ones I listen to, but ones that changed my musical tastes, distorted my views of the world, and made me smile at the end of it.

My top 5 are as follows:

5. Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band – The Beatles

The first time I heard this, I was 5 and I remember parading around the house. singing (more like shouting) “It’s getting better all the ti-iiime!”.

Listening back on it now I feel I can appreciate it more. So much so it’s surprising. Nothing is out of place, and no track is better or worse than another.

What’s even more surprising is that I don’t even have it in my iPod. I must get around to doing that.

Must Listen: When I’m Sixty Four, Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds
