Mick Ronson - Heaven And Hull (1994)

I make no bones about it. Mick Ronson was/is the most important guitar player of my lifetime. It’s a bold statement - but when you first encounter “Moonage Daydream” as a bare-arsed 12 year old, it counts for everything.

Wax Chattels - Wax Chattels [Tidal] (2018)

I went for a nice solo walk on a cold, dull morning - just me, my iPhone and my Sennheiser Headphones.

The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Are You Experienced (1967)

This particular record obviously didn’t mean anything to me as a 7 year old when this was released in 1967, but five or 6 years later I definitely remember hearing Hendrix on a big set of headphones at my local church youth club.

Uriah Heep - Demons And Wizards (1972)

This record, along with their earlier “Very ‘Eavy Very ‘Umble”, Tull’s “Aqualung” and the incomparable and never bettered, The Who’s “Live At Leeds” were HUGE for me as a shy, day dreaming, on-another-planet 12 year old.

Depeche Mode - Songs Of Love And Devotion [Tidal] (1993)

How the shitting hell did I miss this one?? I’ve been a devoted (pardon the pun) Depeche Mode fan since 1997’s “Violator” and have worked backwards as well as including all subsequent releases to ensure I get my full fix.

The Low Anthem - Oh My God, Charlie Darwin (2009)

I actually bought this record on the strength of the worlds greatest biologist and non-theist mischief-maker being mentioned on the album cover.

Riverside - Rapid Eye Movement (2007)

I rolled a random “R” this evening and immediately reached for “Riverside”. They are without doubt, Poland’s best progressive metal band.

Cornershop - When I Was Born For The 7th Time (1997)

It’s astounding to realise that this gem was made more than 20 years ago! Played for the first time in it’s entirety in at least a decade, I am reminded of just how good it is.

Jane Weaver - Modern Kosmology [Tidal] (2017)

Every so often I catch the bus (reluctantly) to Richmond. (This endlessly sprawling and souless “location” where I just happen to work, would never be on any of my “favourite-places-to-be” list.
