Now 49

Now 33

Something with Buble on it.

But in all seriousness I couldn't name my favourite album I heard this week, no way I could ever settle on a top 10 even without an order. So a top 3, no chance...

Piece of Mind is class. Loads of great bootlegs kicking about from the World Piece Tour, if you can find them. One worth checking out is called 1983 The Beast is Rising from Nottingham on the Golden Eggs label.

things like this are always difficult, I can think of three then think of others which may be top three depending on my mood.

Love seeing other peoples too, but must admit most of the ones mentioned wouldn't make my top 1 million, but it would be a boring world if we all had the same taste

In no particular order- sometimes

Darkness on the edge of town - Springsteen

Born to Run - Springsteen

Heart of Everything - Within Temptation

but then, the first 3 dragonforce albums, Bat out of hell, Seventh son of a seventh son, Heaven & Hell - [Sabbath not Vangelis], The strange case of..., Bombshell -Hydrogyn

and so many others. Currently have recordings from 500+ different artists which equates to over 3000 albums

Some great records on this thread, nice to see plenty of metal in there. Loads of these could make my top 3 but I'll go for 3 that I don't think I've spotted.

Kinks - Village Green Preservation Society

John Coltrane - Live at Birdland

Neil Young - Zuma

Now to check out some of the ones I've not heard. . .
