It feels like an ELO kind of day to me, so voted thusly. It's interesting that my cuckoo clock eats foldable van seats. ------------- ---------- i'm shopping for a new oil-cured sinus bag that's a happy bag of lettuce this car smells like cartilage nothing beats a good video about fractions |

not a bad album at all, it deserved better, but it came after the excellent Perfect Strangers I guess. I went with Blue Oyster Cult's debut.

The Rolling Stones - Black and Blue, if only for the sublime 'Fool To Cry'. Always reminds me of the hot summer of 1976 in the UK.

Elton. Other: Elvis Costello - Almost Blue. Tell the truth: the inspiration for this thread was Shocking Blue, wasn't it? |
Posted By: Psychedelic Paul
Date Posted: July 13 2023 at 12:05
No, the inspiration was actually the Moody Blues, who aren't even in the poll.

Joni Mitchell for me Also, you had the perfect opportunity to include Weezer's debut, which is literally referred to as "The Blue Album", and you didn't take it?  ------------- Take me down, to the underground Won't you take me down, to the underground Why oh why, there is no light And if I can't sleep, can you hold my life https://www.youtube.com/@CocoonMasterBrendan-wh3sd |

I have the perfect excuse for not including Weezer's debut.... I've never heard of Weezer or their debut album before, and besides, who would I leave out of the poll to make room for Weezer, bearing in mind I know and like all 25 personally selected albums in the poll.

Have you maybe found something common for these blue albums, Paul? ------------- quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond |

Date Posted: July 14 2023 at 06:33
Yes, there are no prog albums in the list, but that's not for the lack of looking for them, although I can promise there'll be a fair sprinkling of prog albums in the upcoming "Black list."

We're Back to Black for the next round in the Dulux color chart with the following list of artists which, by the way, includes Amy Winehouse, even though I'm not a fan.  AC/DC Astra Black Black Sabbath Black Widow David Bowie The Clash Coheed and Cambra Miles Davis Dream Theater Emerson, Lake & Palmer FM Mort Garson Peter Hammill Hawkwind King Crimson Metallica Muse Prince The Rolling Stones Lalo Schifrin J.D. Souther The Stranglers Amy Winehouse XTC My apologies if your favourite "Black" album isn't listed, but I had to leave at least five albums out of the list through lack of space, including (or rather excluding):- Dave Alvin (Blackjack Dave); Cowboy Junkies (Black-Eyed Man); Dana Dawson (Black Butterfly); Waylon Jennings (Black On Black); The Three Sounds (Black Orchid); The Pointer Sisters (Black and White); and Weezer (Black Album).

I voted for Joni Mitchell's Blue. I had expected to see Massive Attack's Blue Lines, but I don't know how Paul compiles these or chooses the albums (I tend to be interested in such things). I like and have Rain's Cerulean Blue, little known, but nice call (he has posted at PA). My favourite has been Zbigniew Preisner's Three Colours Blue soundtrack. I especially listened to that a lot in the 90s (I love the trilogy). Not an album or film that I would recommend to Paul. . ------------- Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me. |

The only album I know from your list is Chris Rea's Blue Guitars (which I have on a 2-CD best of collection), but my all-time favorite Chis Rea album is the soundtrack to La Passione with Shirley Bassey. I wonder if Shirley owns a Ferrari.... |
