Judas Priest - 'The Collection'
They weren't anywhere near as heavy back then, and I much prefer these, their first two albums, 'Rocka Rolla' and 'Sad Wings of Destiny'.
Saw them around this time too -> gig reviews
I've been inspired by recgord27.
I have had this album in various formats for donkeys years but, in truth, I only have it and play it for one track... 'When An Old Cricketer Leaves The Pitch', a beautiful song where Roy is accompanied by the Grimethorpe Colliery Band.
Amazing.
Roy Harper - 'HQ'
A bit left-field I know, but I love listening to stirring orchestral scores.
Hans Zimmer is a big favourite of mine.
Charles Gerhardt plays Erich Wolfgang Korngold - 'Elizabeth & Essex'
I have others...
Charles Gerhardt - 'Captain Blood' (Classic Film Scores For Errol Flynn)
Charles Gerhardt...
Genesis - 'Seconds Out'
The 'bridge' album between when they were still good, and their inexorable descent into crapitude.
Sadly Hackett's guitar work is pretty much drowned out; he had announced his decision to quit whilst the tracks were being mixed and clearly paid a heavy price for it.
And...
Horslips - 'The Book of Invasions'
I adore this band - saw them in 1976.
Some really great Irish prog-rock material across their albums, the best of which is probably 'The Tain', but I'm playing this one for a change.
I think that they charted the highest with this, probably their most...
