Thriller was a great album but Bad was the one from my childhood. Just listening to it now on Spotify. I know all the songs word for word still! Apart from 'Leave Me Alone' as that was never included on the cassette release I had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when the guitar solo kicks in. This is my **** sweet spot. Since you been gone by Kelly Clarkson rinses this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not particularly into instrumentals in the pop/rock field, but completely opposite with jazz and classical, where I don't want to hear any singing. I hope there are exceptions, like this gem. Although it would be very good as an instrumental, you can't tell me the vocals don't improve it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Early 80’s I used to go over my mate’s house to sit their all broody and intense and listen to Jam albums. His sister would insist we had to share turntable time with her and through the course of an afternoon she’d play everything off Thriller. I absolutely fancied the pants off her, and she knew it. That bloody Jackson album had decent tunes on it, and I had to sit there pretending it didn’t AND not staring at her. Multi tasking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I tend to count the Billie Holliday/Sarah Vaughan/Ella Fitzgerald (or Frank Sinatra/Mel Torme) stuff more as 1940s pop than true 'jazz'. It's OK. But I don't want to hear vocals with bebob/hard bop/post bop/fusion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Grew up listening to him, my parents were divorced and my dad would make 6-8 year old me jacko mixtapes so will always have a soft spot for him but struggle to listen to him now Think I might even prefer the Jackson 5 Cant deny what he was though, both good and bad Bad is his best album, no filler on there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veloman Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 This is top American session player Louis Shelton; he played on the 'Off the Wall' LP plus many other iconic guitar parts. For guitarists on here he also played the solo on Lionel Richie's 'Hello'. Quite a tasty played I hope you agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The music would start up, Cleo would start up, ‘she bab de bap dee bop dee doo bee dooo yaaaaaaa shiggle iggle piggle….’ all over the top of some Alexis Korner or whoever 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six photo prints essentially of the album images plus 2 more similar so they clearly belong with the album I can't decide whether I'm a bit like Chocolate Factory Charlie finding the golden ticket or I'm completely missing something obvious It'll lead to gnashing and wailing and I'm not sure whether the photo should have been uploaded but at least I might get an answer to my question Here they are anyway As predicted, there is much wailing going on 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The inspiration for Fleetwood Mac's 'Albatross'. It's OK, but I still prefer guitars as an accompaniment to singers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
