One of the 1st' none punk' acts I got into was Joan Armatrading, along with Bob Dylan. Have most of her early albums up to 1980.
The 1st 3 Prefab Sprout albums were played an awful lot at my house these past 12 months. They sound really good on NVA gear, very well produced too. All 3 are totally different musical approaches but all blisteringly good.
Anyway neither were my last listen, so I will shtum!

Placebo debut album. Hit like a ton of bricks when it came out in 95, so completely different to what was in the charts at the time, I. E blur, oasis, ocean colour scene ect. One of 2 bands that I have everything they have done, the other being foo fighters. This album and Foo fighters colour and the shape were on rotation.
Still sounds raw today. I always thought placebo were vastly underrated

Pink Floyd 'Dark Side of the Moon' (2016 reissue)

When the 1994 remaster series came out I got pretty well the entire PF catalogue, but never really listened to them. Having grown up with Floyd LP's, it seemed that I just knew them too well.

Now I can attribute some of the blame to the mastering. That edition sounds dull, veiled and relatively lifeless in comparison to the latest version, remastered in 2011.

The 2016 edition has an LP-style cardboard sleeve but the mastering is still from 2011. Sounds just great.

More Floyd on the way! :dance:
