My Final Top 50 Albums

Relates to Music

Here is the final instalment of 50 albums that are always on my iPod. I wouldn't claim that these are in my humble opinion the greatest 50 albums ever composed since many of them simply appeal to my own personal tastes. Plus a few obvious albums of note from the likes of Pink Floyd (Dark Side of the Moon), Dylan (Blonde on Blonde), Led Zeppelin (IV) and some of the Jazz masters (Coltrane and Mingus in particular) have slipped through unnoticed simply because I have listened to them so much over the years they have become overplayed for my ears.

• The Sun Sessions - Elvis Presley
• The Trials of Van Occupanther - Midlake
• Thick As A Brick - Jethro Tull
• Time Honoured Ghosts - Barclay James Harvest
• The Velvet Underground and Nico - The Velvet Underground
• What's Going On - Marvin Gaye
• (What's The Story) Morning Glory? - Oasis
• The White Album - The Beatles
• Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd
• You: Radio Gnome Invisible Volume 3 - Gong

I should also mention a handful of soundtrack albums and classical albums also have permanent residence on my iPod but I decided these fall into their own category. Another chart, another day perhaps…

Hope you find something new and interesting in this list. Discovering new music from the past is an inspiration!
