As you say, Cussie not easy just picking ten is it........and on another day a couple of those may change, but more times than not I think the spine of my team would stay the same
See you have Hey Ma in your ten......must give that a listen, as haven't played for a while now.
I think it's Counting Crows magnificent slice of Americana, August and Everything After and Blueneck's Stunning Post Rock classic The Fallen Host are the only two so far on more than one list

Hey Ma is by no means Jame’s best album but there’s just something about it that I like, as you said there are some albums on your list that’ll never change & maybe 2/3 which are in the here & now & this is the latter. Mostly favourite songs/albums are more to do with where you were, who you were with, how you were feeling when you first heard them than being true musical classics.

Bought August & Everything After at a 2nd hand record sale in Kilmarnock, bit random. The live version of Round Here is still a favourite, seen them at Slane Castle, brilliant live. Shamed to admit I’ve never heard of Blueneck but will def have a listen.

Not surprising you've not heard of Blueneck ..5/6 magnificent post rock albums from the band from the South West. King Nine is probably the most accessible but they're all beautiful albums

In 2016 The Brothers Osborne released "The Pawn Shop" for someone that never goes anywhere near Country Rock just listening to this
is something special. How can some forms of music we just dismiss just because we have an opinion that paints all the genre with the same brush. Just listened to the Brothers Osborne self titled album for 2023. Good music comes along sometimes, its simple but enjoyable... and puts a smile on your face....

Not something I suffer from, some great Alt Country and Country rock out there. Try Larkin Poe's Blood Harmony from last year or any of their blues laden stuff
"Never debate an idiot, they'll only drag you down to their level and they have the advantage of experience"
Spotlights - Alchemy for the Dead, Cory Hanon's Western Cum and Dark Horses' Hail Lucid State was the sound track down to Brighton on Saturday... Ozrics and Pink Floyd for the journey back
Currently have the excellent Tropical f**k Storm's Laughing Death on at the moment, it was Water From Your Eyes - Everybody's Crushed before that. The latter in the running for the 23 top ten albums

I have all the Counting Crows albums on my shelves, Cussie.
August & Everything After is ultimately their best work, brilliant

Almost impossible for me to pigeon hole ten albums.
I suppose I could start by selecting my favourite bands from each decade, that should give me at least seven albums, there still lies a problem as I love more than just one album from my favourite artists.
Rolling Stones/David Bowie
Marvin Gaye/Wishbone Ash
Smiths/Talk Talk
Radiohead
Elbow
??? (have to give that decade some thought)
Delines
My favourites goes much deeper than those artists as there are loads of obscure albums I enjoy.

Don’t overthink it, as Cat says there’ll be a spine to start then go with your gut. On a different day I would have added Talk Talk, Bowie, Placebo, Neil Young; The Stones; Aretha, The Ramones …………………….Just go for it

Now and Then" debuted on the UK Singles Chart on 3 November 2023 at number 42, based on ten hours of sales. The following week it rose 41 positions to reach number one on the chart, which is the Beatles' first UK number one song in 54 years since their 1969 single "The Ballad of John and Yoko", setting a record for the longest gap between number one singles by any musical act. It accumulated 78,000 units in its first full week of sales and streaming with 48,000 from physical sales and downloads.

I heard it the other day Leon.
I'm a Beatles fan, but just think that song is dreadful.
Wouldn't matter how bad it was people would buy it, based purely on the fact that it's the Beatles.
