Переглядів 839 годин тому
Elvis Presley would have been 90 years old today, but sadly passed in 1977 at age 42 The King of Rock ‘n Roll released many iconic, essential songs and albums, but what would I keep if I could only choose the ‘iconic’ Elvis albums (to me) in my collection?

    I think a trillion subs would implode my channel. I'm happy with just a few a day or so. No apologies needed for what you like or dislike. I appreciate Elvis Costello, but I'm only a mediocre fan, however, Phish and Widespread Panic are way up there towards the top on my list as favorites, but that's just my own taste. No reason to apologize for it, it's just what we like. I remember those days when we thought $20 for a ticket was too much. Now I can't even think about going to a concert. I just found a copy of 54-40 last year, didn't know anything about them, but they were in the cheap used records and I thought it looked interesting. That was a bet that paid off. Great album. Now, now, 60 isn't that bad....is it? I'm 63 and it seems that 60 passed by without me hardly even knowing it. Anyway, great response! As soon as I get over my stupid cold, I'll try to get a response or two out there, I'm so far behind.

    Oh my gosh! 54-40! I just bought that album early in May last year. By August I had the entire studio discography. I’m still listening to their stuff every week. I can’t believe I never got into them considering they are from the municipality next to the one I grew up in. How cool to see you pull out the Green Album! You got me totally by surprise, Richard! Blue Rodeo. I like them too! 54-40 are from a part of the City of Delta called Tsawwassen. But just say they’re from Vancouver.

    • @musicisajourney
      @musicisajourney 3 дні тому

      @ Their 2nd to 4th albums were released on Warner Reprise. There was a comp after that and then the label dropped them. From then on, I think in the late nineties there was a brief effort to get them distributed Stateside with a comp called Casual Viewin’ U.S.A. There was another comp called Radio Love Songs, which was not love songs. After that it seems they just released albums in Canada. Perhaps it’s ironic that most of the CDs I bought came from the U.S. Rob at Northern Revolutions says a lot of their albums aren’t available on vinyl even.

    Lots of great cds, most of which I don't know, haha. Cool that you've never really sold off your collection.

      It never really made sense to me even back then…’sell off your vinyl & replace it all with CDs’?? Why? The same thing now with ‘vinyl is back- get rid of your CDs’ …um, no! 😆

    Hey Richard! Glad to see you jump in on this tag. Love the ticket stub in the VH case. 😊 Rush!!! Woohoooo!!! That Brit Box looks and sounds super cool!!! I’ll have to look into that one. So many great stories in this video. Well done. 😊

    Hi Richard Very happy to see Prefab Sprout, feel like the VC's Mr. Prefab Sprout at times. Steve McQueen is a perfect album, and the legacy CD is very nice in deed. Not mentioned a ton over on your side of the pond. Album came out in 1985 and the re-issue in 2007. It was called Two Wheels Good in the US to avoid giving work to lawyers 🙄 And to make it even more perfect you include another one of my Welsh heroes, Feeder! Great entry 😊

    • @richards5280
      @richards5280 10 днів тому

      Hi there! Yes- big Prefab Sprout fan, me...it seems a lot of their albums never made it to US shores (or got no promotion- I never see them in the used bins). Yay! Another Feeder fan!! Love it! Thanks for checking out the video :) Cheers-R

      @ Ashamed to say it is the only one of their albums I don't own yet. Sort of kept forgetting and the CD shopping here in Oslo is abysmal. I order most of my CD's as opposed to my vinyl from amazon Germany but only when I'm in Denmark because they are both in the EU. If I order up here in Norway its customs and VAT and all that... jazz.

    Hey Richard! I need to knock this out over the weekend. Not sure I have ever seen anyone cite Gary Numan as their fav artist. 122 ?!?!? Not that there is anything wrong with that...... Cheers!

    • @richards5280
      @richards5280 10 днів тому

      Hi Steve- yeh I’ve been a Numanoid since he did ‘Cars’ on SNL all those years ago; I’ve seen him live 8 or 9x, met him, got stuff signed….I may need an intervention! 😆 Cheers-R

    You have now many Gary Human CDs?!!!!😮😮😮. I really loved the boxset. I'll give the Feeder album a listen and let you know what I think. I think I'll have a go at this. Cheers Mike 👍

    • @richards5280
      @richards5280 10 днів тому

      Hi Mike- yes, 122 Numan CDs (and 50 albums/eps/12” vinyl) 🤔 Uber-fan? Yeh maybe! 😆 Do give Feeder a try- in the UK should easily be able to find some (or stream it). I’d love to hear your thoughts 👍 Cheers-R

    Nice choices. I love the PiL live album. That looks like a very cool Prefab Sprout reissue and I am loving the look of that Brit Box. I always love to see people showing Gary Numan. That''s a ton of Numan CDs!!! Wow. I should really have a listen to Feeder 🙂

    • @richards5280
      @richards5280 10 днів тому

      That Feeder album is absolutely brilliant- you won't be disappointed! 😉 Probably the best place to start would be their Singles double album- all their A sides...all very solid stuff. Yeh 122 Numan CDs and 50 vinyl (albums, 12", eps) and a slew of 7-inch singles as well....I may have a problem! :D

    I saw Blushing in concert at some place on Broadway, great concert. Cure and Crows were great. I tried to get into that Fountaines album but it was just too slow for me. A lot of people really liked it. Your number one album was new to me, need to check it out

    • @richards5280
      @richards5280 13 днів тому

      I was going to go to that Blushing show (Skylark Lounge wasn’t it?) but it didn’t work out 🤔 Feeder are excellent- I’ve been a fan since their late 90s album ‘Polythene’ dropped. Cheers-R

    Interesting list. Probably not your cup of tea but for me "Orgy of the Damned" by Slash was my fave CD of the year. All killer, no filler (hmmm... someone should use that as an album title)! Happy new year.

    • @richards5280
      @richards5280 13 днів тому

      Thx for commenting 👍 I saw Slash (Slash’s Snakepit) open for Sammy Hagar many years ago at Red Rocks 😎 Nothing better than an ‘all killer no filler’ album, right? Cheers-R

    I love that DIIV album. It very nearly made my list, but I just had too many! I need to check Crows out. I've seen it mentioned a few times but haven't heard it. I don't know the Twilight Sad. I will check them out. Thus Love is very good. They are from Vermont I believe. Feeder. Black/Red I missed that one. Great list, Richard. Have a great New Year

    • @richards5280
      @richards5280 13 днів тому

      Hi Andy! That Crows album is definitely in your wheelhouse of music…I think you’d enjoy it. Twilight Sad are from Scotland- absolutely amazing albums. Great year for music overall- I wonder what ‘25 will bring?! Happy New Year! Cheers-R 😃👍

      If you only have one, this is certainly a great one to have! If you’re so inclined, I’d suggest Disintegration next and P*rnography, both of which are excellent 😎👍
