The Chorus.Fm Users Definitive Albums List • Page 37

Ayyyy more Helloween love

 

Updated my list.

 

Holy shit @George the There Will Be Fireworks album on your list is fucking incredible. I wish I’d heard it in ‘13. It would have done serious damage on my year end. All the crests and beauty of great post-rock, but with great vocals too. Hot damn.

 

So glad you liked it - it’s such a great album that I think would be beloved here if it found a bigger audience, it’s phenomenal. A big cathartic and beautiful album.

 

yeah that occurred to me that I was kinda shocked it wasn’t huge around these parts

try to get these in by tomorrow

@Drew Beringer i know you said you were working on it

 

All of these made me particularly happy.

That Cheap Trick album is probably my third favorite, but that's more about how great they are. "She's Tight" is a total favorite.

Minute by Minute was absolutely on my long list, as was Calypso

 

The first 4 are probably “the best” but One On One and Next Position Please are the ones I listen to most. They’re like maximum Cheap Trick, them at their heavy metal beatles mad magazine best.

“She’s Tight” rules, I also really love

I Want You
One On One

Never even heard of Kate Bush until this thread tbh

 

The Dreaming is my fav

 

That’s wild.

 

I’ve only heard The Dreaming so far but it knocked me on my ass

 

I still have to hear Next Position Please. I’m a huge fan of Dream Police myself. Always felt like one of the great albums of the era.

I’ve heard Sincerely by Twilley and it was awesome power-pop goodness. Definitely gonna prioritize the one on your list if it’s better.

I should give Judee a shot. I remember not enjoying her “Jesus Was a Crossmaker” years ago, which I checked out because I fuckin’ LOVE the cover by The Hollies off Romany (massively underrated album, too). But that was a LONG time ago so I should go back
