Time for some proper Aerosmith.

Essentially made just to prove they could make an LP without splitting up/dying, Aerosmith managed to make one hell of a record. If they'd messed this up, it would've been the end.

Possibly one of the all time great live albums, famously recorded just to keep the Japanese record company happy.

Holder of the prize for "most well known, deeply problematic, record sleeve", Blind Faith's only LP is a lesson in leaving space for the music to breathe. It's also one of the last times, for me, that Clapton was interesting.

One of the truly great live LPs, just try to forget the lyrics to Stray Cat Blues being even more, shall we say 'problematic', than the studio version...

A day walking aimlessly in London is a wonderful way to while away the hours. I don't think I could ever tire of that place. Looking at the Thames and remembering that it's tidal and has beaches right in the heart of the city always provokes a smile!

Probably the last truly great Sabbath LP, but what a run they'd had! Even this one, created under huge legal pressure, managed, in 6 1/2 minutes, to invent Thrash Metal (obvs, being Sabbath, the end of the track was very different).

If you want to know where British blues begins, it begins here - Blues Incorporated. Alexis Korner, Cyril Davies and Dick Heckstall-Smith absolutely launched the blues in the UK. John Mayall followed in their footsteps. Without them, no Rolling Stones.

One of those that largely flew under the radar. Cracking album, great musicians everywhere, and very Zeppelin in places. The big question is, why no follow up?

The one they almost immediately disowned, but it's actually a cracking little LP. This is what '80s Queen could've been, had they held their nerve.

The only LP I've ever been almost evangelical about. It really is vinyl perfection. If you haven't heard it, you actually need to hear it.

Ok, it's not Aqualung, but it's peak Tull to my ears. Clive Bunker was an absolute monster on the drums, and Ian Anderson hadn't yet turned into an eccentric salmon farmer.. Basically they were a rock band, not a caricature.

If I had to pick one track from this, it'd have to be The Night Comes Down - the earliest Queen track to feature on an album, amazing intro and outro, seriously good bassline, and the drum part is almost a love letter to Ringo.

Sometimes, you just need some Peter Gabriel era Genesis.

You know it's going to be a good pressing when it's on coloured vinyl, side 1 has side 2's tracklisting (and vice versa), and it was pressed in Israel of all places. Here goes...

One of the all time great pop LPs. Absolutely timeless.

Who needs a second pickup? Esquires really are underrated.

Unusual to find a Fleetwood Mac compilation that's mainly centred on the Kirwan/Welch years, even if there are a couple of Greeny songs. They did some damned good stuff while nobody was watching.

There's something about looking over the rooftops of London from the train.

It may not be anything vaguely close to a 12 bar, but Glory Box absolutely is the definitive blues song of it's time, and I'll defend that statement as long as I live.

At the time it was just the new AC/DC LP, but it turned out to be the end of the Accadacca we knew. Who knows what this lineup would've done had Bon lived. What came next would make them superstars.

Now it's hard to think of them without thinking of the Beatles copyists, but they were so much more than that (and they had some damned good basslines!).
