Haven't listened to Revolver, from start to finish, in forever and fucking hell I'd forgotten how amazing it is.

Anyone had similar experiences lately? By all means post your fav albums, but I'm more interested in the greats you needed reminding of.

Very underrated band in this country. The rest of the world treats them like gods. Them in Prague is in my top ten gigs of all time.

A few from my teens:

A Country Life - Roxy Music, totally for the album cover which was better than Playboy for a teenage boy

Graceland - Paul Simon. Totally different sound to anything I had heard before due to the South African influence he infused into the songs.

After Charlie Watts death I re-listened to all the Stones' early-mid 70's albums. An incredible run of classics with Mick Taylor in the band.

The Rolling Stones play the blues is rather fine, all the classics that inspired them way back- think you can find the entire album on YouTube with a dig round

Not exactly a rediscover, as I’ve had it ages and played it reasonably often,- but played Fat of the Land by Prodigy on a new system recently and was blown away by just how awesome the quality of the production is on it. The bass is punchy and meaty, the mid and tops are all given lots of breathing space and the whole thing is a delight of beautifully crafted aural perfection I’m enjoying in a whole new way to when I first heard it in the crazy days of the 90’s rave scene (so glad I got to see them several times over the last quarter century- they just kept getting better and better live!)

This album is wonderful. I bought about 5 copies of it. Girl I was living with at the time hated it and whenever I played it and someone said they liked it she gave it to them. "Here, have this copy" I just bought another and she groaned

I like The Singles 1969-1973 for the original songs.

Or her brother worked on an album called The Carpenters with the Royal Philamonic Orchestra, which is the Carpenters' original vocal and instrumental tracks accompanied by new orchestral arrangements by RPO

I probably play all three Portishead albums every other week as a minimum, not many bands can boast to have 100% of their album content to be brilliant with no filler (possibly why they've only managed three in just under 30 years *pftttt!- continues waiting impatiently *)
