Hey, nothin' wrong with liking The Monkees. |
I also like The Monkees. My favorite is Headquarters.

I listened to More Of The Monkees and Headquarters the other day, but I couldn't remember what made me do so. Must have been this thread! Fun stuff. We had the first two albums when I was a kid (mid to late 70s) and we'd all dance around like crazy to them!

Moving Pictures by Rush, not one single bad song on it, their masterpiece, related to so many good memories in my life I lost count.
Message by Message is really not far behind, another flawless gem of an album that never fails to put a smile on my face.
Tied in third are The Snow Goose and Moonmadness by Camel.

I've also got the Beach Boys greatest hits which is very pleasant too. Always makes it feel sunny no matter the season or weather.

Yep, agree with both Snow and Doctor on this one, I think both `90125' and the first Asia album are pretty decent! Really fine melodic rock with slight proggy moments, but very catchy and undemanding pop/prog to hum along to. I've never heard the GTR album, although I am aware of it, and any Asia album after the first one doesn't do anything for me, but I have to say I extend my poppy Yes love further for `Big Generator' as well! Heh, I even find a couple of tracks on `Open Your Eyes' quite enjoyable too, if very overproduced!

This one qualifies as well - especially after a bottle of snaps:

Tales from Topographic Oceans I guess... any Yes album up until (and including) Relayer as well as "Olias of Sunhillow" kinda work also. Both Jon's lyrics and the way they sometimes come up with melodies that just make me smile every time I hear them are the main reasons why Yes is my artist to go to for cheering up. For a single song, I always pick "Time and a Word", it's hippe-styled naive view on the world is amazing.

| Cheers - got an LP copy in my 'watch-list' on E-Bay as we speak - be fixing that up today. 'Indie' isn't my scene, but this one sounds somewhat eclectic and the instrumentation is diverse and interesting. I hope it works out well. Absolutely striking art-work, this Magnum fellow must be truly gifted....... |
Yeah man, you'll love it. Especially coming from a progressive and experimental background, you'll sure to appreciate it's conceptual structure and exotic instrumentation. I'm surprised you hadn't heard or seen it before. It's quite an iconic album.
| Thanks guys - when it all pans out I'll probably start a thread about this album.......what was it - 300.000 copies sold in 2008 ?? Man, that stands for somethin'. |
Yeah man, I mean, it's been made pretty famous over the internet, especially from 4chan's music forum - /mu/. They slave over that album over there. It's practically been made into almost a joke/ meme, it's so iconic now. But man, I'm glad you picked it up.
