oh wow this is fabulous

another green world
astral weeks
wowee zowee
disintegration
totally crushed out

someone on here recently mentioned the last track (on the disco thread maybe?)

That was probably me on the poll thread for this album. I love that track, especially with Levan's overdubs.

Albums? What are albums?

Stereolab - Cobra and Phases Group Play Voltage in the Milky Night (Duophonic 2xLP)
Terry Snyder and the All-Stars - Persuasive Percussion, Volume 2 (Command LP)
Fleetwood Mac - Tusk (Warner Brothers 2xLP)
Berio - Sinfonia : The Swingle Singers New York Philharmonic, cond. Berio / Bartok - Music for String Instruments, Percussion and Celesta: New York Philharmonic, cond. Bernstein (CBS Masterworks Portrait LP)
Yes - Going For The One (Atlantic LP)

fun house?
exile on main street?
tago mago?
close to the edge?
revolver?

way to double up on the berio bartok!

i already hate my choices btw, i forgot prince and cluster...

The Congos- Heart of the Congos

hah I see someone else just nommed Actually!

yeah, If I had to pick one album, it would probably be that one.

I went for Behaviour but it's hard to argue with Actually. Very was on a couple of lists at the beginning of the thread as well. Those are the three Pet Shop masterpieces for me.

^ Classic PSB trilogy

Bonkers
Bonkers 2: Now We're Totally Bonkers

69 Love Songs

No Lloyd Cole?

I think he'll have to be at #6 with his first solo LP.

It's a close-run thing for sure.

But "69 Love Songs" is a triple album. Doesn't that count as three?

Nah, there have been plenty of double albums mentioned itt
