Surely the most underrated band of all time.

You've got a lot more listening to do.

Listened back to this, a few months, after not hearing it for a long time. I like Floyd, but I don’t sit and listen to them, really.. Animals is a great album - as are WYWH and DSOTM

This is my favourite Floyd album. Sheep is my favourite track. Cheers

Pink Floyd 🙂

Yes, but Slade Alive should be your first listen.

Definitively...the early to mid 70s albums are fantastic !!!

🎾 Chris Rea is a great artist. I’ve everything he’s done on Warner from the debut to the last one, King of The Beach. Tennis is great, I love Wired to The Moon, Shamrock Diaries, On The Beach. I’ve been a fan since 1986 when I saw him live at Slane Castle supporting Queen, which was my first gig ever. Elton John producer Gus Dudgeon produced the first two albums. Only With You on Tennis is a great cheesy soul belter! Raincoat and a Rose on Deltics is like a Neil Diamond song. Deltics itself is a great track. Candles, Bombollini, Josephine, Steel River, It’s all Gone, Loving You Again, all fantastic. I could go on and on. Hats off to you for highlighting Chris Rea! 🎾

I think Water Sign and Wired to the moon are fantastic albums. Water Sign was basically a bunch of demos as you said, but some times the demo versions are actually better than the polished versions - and while we never know how it would have sounded in the latter form, its sublime how it is in my opinion. Especially Nothings happening by the sea, Candles, Love's strange ways, Heartbeat and Midnight Blue are absolutely fantastic live tracks. Same goes for Wired to the moon - i think its a wonderful album from the first track to the last, and many of the songs are absolute belters live. On the beach that you also mentioned is in my opinion one of the greatest albums of all time - up there with the likes of Brothers in arms, Master of Puppets etc. Chris managed to create such an atmosperich, moody and laid-back feeling and sounding album in On the beach its mind blowing. No other album relaxes me and takes me to a completely another place when i close my eyes while listening to it. A masterpiece.

The first three albums with Uli Roth are probably my favorites 😅. Such a great band (also underrated), i know by heart all the albums up to 1993 "Face The Heat" but since then i've only really listened to the last one when it came out a couple of years ago, now i'll make it up. PS "Tokio Tapes" is one of the best live albums of the genre in that late '70s era alongside records like "Unleashed in the East" by Judas Priest or "Live and Dangerous" by Thin Lizzy.

Wish I could find a live performance of "GYPSY LIFE".......

Informative video. I’m Neil fan.

I really enjoyed this video Toby! If David Gates has Take The Last Train on it, give that a listen.

Best make up album -Destroyer Best non make up - Revenge

Probably have to say Alive, but RARO will always hold a special place in my heart because it was the first album I ever bought

Rival...Nah.

Alive ll. Now enough said

Alive! End of story.

I don’t really like anything after Music from The Elder, but, like you, I can change my mind any day of the week as to what my favorite album is. Gene’s solo album is awesome.

The 1st album is killer but I do like dressed to kill

Creatures is their best record and Lick It Up is on par or better than Hotter Than Hell, Dressed To Kill, RARO, and Love Gun. Unmasked is underrated, but not great. Elder is their 3rd or 4th worst record, with Animalize being dead last.

Preview of the next few albums you’ll listen to: Asylum, my least favourite album of theirs. Crazy Nights has a super emotional song on it called Reason To Live which is the highlight, and Hot In The Shade, this album was infamously made up of essentially demos. But, Forever, Hide Your Heart, Rise To It, and Little Caesar all slap 👿🌠😼👽

What a nice retro video review, thanks Toby!

Great review! Warriors, Cowboy Song, Fight or Fall, so many great songs on this album. Never a dull moment. By the way, the picture on the thumbnail of this video, where can I find it?

Thin lizzy e uma boa banda pena que não teve reconhecimento a indústria musical e uma prostituta difícil de de se agradar !

And the Grass Won't Pay No Mind is my number 1 & If I Never Knew Your Name is number #2.

Hermosoooooooo

I love both of the Elvis RPHO albums equally tbh

100% it’s got to be for the right price, if I want something and can’t find it cheaper than the going price, if it’s reasonable I’ll pay, but if something is too much I’ll wait until I find one for cheaper same as you lol 👍 great vid and discussion enjoyed it !

The Original Album Collection Boxsets are for the most part brilliant for buying CDs in abundance and I have a few of them, including Dio, Meat Loaf, Judas Priest and a-Ha, which are the ones I have, and I think they are great and sometimes quite cheap to buy for five CDs, but they do have their flaws with their packaging, but they are nice to have and they have great variety of any artists you like. I do often like to buy cheap albums for less money, but sometimes buy new if I love the artist or band, but what you said about the standard or deluxe albums, and price of them, like for example, Invincible Shield by Judas Priest, I paid out for the standard version over the deluxe version, because I can't be asked to pay out more for three extra tracks, when I can pay out for just eleven tracks, and that was just annoying to me. Sometimes I do like a bargain on music, especially from online like Discogs, HMV and other things and it depends on what's available at that time.

Great video my man, thoroughly enjoyed it. And yes can confirm you are tight 😂

Great video thank you - apologies for commenting on an older video but I only just found your channel today. I bought this box set around 10-11 years ago I guess, and it’s really good. I think if anyone bought this they’d have pretty much all the really essential albums by the Boss, and then if they wanted to explore some more they could go from there, or maybe stop by the “Tracks” 4CD box set on the way. Do you like Rory Gallagher? You can pick up a 5CD collection under the Original Album Classics banner for around £19.99. I think there was one for ZZ Top and numerous other artists, and you’re absolutely right, they are a great way to begin collecting an artist. Probably better to get when they first come out if you can, as when they’re out of print they increase in price quite a bit. Hopefully record companies don’t stop doing these kind of bundle releases in the streaming age, although I’ve noticed that new CD prices have crept up quite a bit during the last 12 months or so, so I doubt we’ll see these kind of sets being as cheap as they were a few years ago.

Nobody writes like him. Nobody sings lke him. It does not matter if one disagrees.

Remove Mother and throw the album in garbage.

it never matters what neil sings to me i just LOVE ALL OF NEILS MUSIC TO ME NEIL IS JUST PERFECT!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤

AC/DC released Black Ice in 2008, Imo this album is better than their classics Highway To Hell and Back In Black

There are still great albums being released, but the market is so flooded now with artists that it takes a little longer to sift through the junk to find the gems.

In my opinion, it depends on what you love, because I was born in '94, and I can name a few artists like Bon Jovi, Iron Maiden and Saxon for example, and I prefer their post 2000's works the most, as it's my period for their music at the time, and I must say that I like Judas Priest's new album the most out of everything that they have done as it's an incredible album, but again, that is just my opinion, however, I still love their classic albums as well, but it's always their post 2000's works that I listen to from those bands, and especially Bon Jovi for me. Yes, classic rock bands are incredible to some extent and others can be worse than others. I feel the same about tanking albums too, because in my view, I rank albums from artists that I love the most, like I love Bon Jovi's This House Is Not For Sale as my #1, despite people not putting it as high as me, or Iron Maiden's A Matter Of Life And Death as my #1, despite people not putting as high as me, either, and I could name a few more, like I could have chosen Judas Priest's Invincible Shield as my #1 album, but I don't think I could have put it above 'British Steel' and 'Painkiller', but it's just that if I rank them, it's usually albums that I love, but some I don't like, I just put at the bottom and list them in terms of which one is the worst album, and the others that get better as I list them, but it's just my opinion.

Hi

A top 10 from the 60s, then the 70s, then the 80s would be good ? ❤

Thanks for the review (even if I have already ordered my copy, having only just discovered its existance the other day). I had the very great pleasure of booking Jake Thackray at the Manchester University Folk Club on a couple of occasions (1974-1977) and immediately became a big fan. I am expecting to find several references to Brassens in this book. He was always talking about how great Brassens was. By some strange stroke of fate I ended up going to live in France and therefore having to learn French. Thrackray is a gateway drug to Brassens. Thackray's translation/adaption of "Le Gorillle" could only have been done by someone who was an excellent poet and songwriter in his own right.

Sad wings of Destiny in this box set has the correct running order. The vinyl album always started with Prelude. All standalone CD pressings have the order wrong!!

I like Bread, got all 6 albums, very easy to listen too, similar to America. All the songs gradually grow on you. However, agree some artists the best of albums are enough. Supertramp is a great example. All their best songs on 2 best of albums with a couple of exceptions. Also The Coral and Fleetwood Mac but I don't buy many compilations.

Great review I enjoyed it mate- Jake is a big hero of mine

Thanks for taking the time to review our book and spreading the word about Jake. It’s now available as an audiobook as well, on Audible, read by me - something your grandad might enjoy, if he now struggles with reading?

Wait... You can read?
