Prompted by the SHM verdict thread!

The Beach Boys back catalogue (Capitol and Brother Records)
All the Beatles albums (obviously)
The Cream albums
All the Who albums
All Pink Floyd
Steve Milliband's catalogue
The Stones catalogue, especially The run from Beggars to Exile.

That would be a start.....

TALKING HEADS.
John Martyn.
Barry Manilow.
Genesis.

quote:

All the Beatles albums (obviously)

Agreed and All Things Must Pass.

Plus the Kinks Arthur The Decline & Fall of the British Empire - assuming there is no distortion on it (I know it exists, but it is out of print), and MCC's The Calling without the loudness button held down.

There are a few psych tracks like those by The Attack and Wimple Winch that could use the treatment - i.e a very best of rubble.

And the complete Shirley Collins catalogue - especially Anthems In Eden. Possibly the Tom Rapp ESP recordings and Amon Duul II's Tanz Der Lemmings and Hawkwind's Warrior At The Edge of Time.

Mostly I'm happy with what I've got though.

I wonder if he could do that nice young lady with the floppy hat - though I doubt Oh My Darling could be improved.

Good idea Chris!

In no particular order, anything by

Cocteau Twins
Nanci Griffith
Toumani Diabate
New Order
The Clash
Lee Scratch Perry
Ali Farka Toure
Dexys Midnight Runners
Talking Heads
Cara Dillon
KLF
Jo Ann Kelly
Basia Bulat
Baba Maal

Anything not already on SHM CD by

Bob Marley & The Wailers
Jimi Hendrix

quote:

Jimi Hendrix

His whole mainstream catalogue then John!

I'd also like to add:-
Neil Young (everything!)
CS&N(&Y)
Stephen Stills solo and Manassas
Yes
All the Oiseau-Lyre recordings by the Academy of Ancient Music/Hogwood
The entire Chess Records catalogue
The first 2 decades of Santana (!)
ZZ Top

I wonder if any of the people who make these decisions even know we exist! Just some of these would be a start. I mean, the whole Kiss library? Motley Crue? Good grief!

Kiss ... Motley Crue ...
