I’ve been nominated to list 10 all-time, favourite albums. Ones which have really made an impact, been influential and are my go-to albums even if only now and then.

However, I’m not going to post one a day because I don’t look at Facebook every day.

These are in the order that I discovered them and with a comment, I couldn’t resist.

ELO – Out of the Blue

Stoke Goldington and a world of endless possibility.

Yazoo – Upstairs at Eric’s

Like getting new ears.

Pet Shop Boys – actually.

Brought in HMV Milton Keynes straight off the delivery truck.

The Beatles – 1967-1970

There was stuff older than me and then discovering Liverpool for a second time.

Bryan Adams – Reckless

The soundtrack of life in Brighton with a tape player in the glovebox.

Celine Dion – D’Eux

France! Everyday a new discovery.

Radiohead – The Bends

A Smart, football and flying the world.

Stereophonics – Word Gets Around

The best album about spending your teenage years in a small town.

Gomez – Liquid Skin

The last album on the desert island.

Ben Folds – Songs for Silverman

Children and California
