I put in on the other night, nice vape of oil and a few cans slept really well.

First album I bought with my own money. And the album I use to test all new stereo equipment.

Prodigy - Fat of the Land is my go-to album for checking out my kit. I built a set of passive crossovers for my 3-way floorstanders using tracks off that album.

This is an excellent BBC doco about the making of Tubular Bells, fantastic album I've always loved.
Mike was quite a strange guy in those days.

Pffttt. Where were all you guys when voting for @BlueHammer85 top 100 albums. Tubular Bells nowhere to be seen unless @BlueHammer85 messed up?

And then it gets better,

Can you give me a minute/section anywhere else on it that is better than the first 4.
I’ll be really keen to have a listen.

That's the reason I bought the album around 1979.

Haha
Sitting down and writing out the names and titles of 100 LPs or Movies to some people is akin to be forced to writing an essay about Shakespeare's King Lear at school.
A list that you know only one person will read and then it will be discarded forever.
