The top vinyl albums that formed my taste in music.
I was musing today why I like the music I do today. I guess it all started with my need to have well recorded and catchy Albums, to demonstrate hi fi equipment on in part, when I was in the trade. Some thing outside the average top of the pops stuff.
Listed by artist and first album bought.
No1- Pink Floyd, Dark side of the moon. A lot more Pink Floyd since then.
No2 – Mike Oldfield, Tubular Bells. Only MO album bought.
No3 – Rick Wakeman, The Myths and Legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. +Journey to the Centre of the earth.
No4 –Vangelis, Heaven and Hell Many more Vangelis albums over the years.
No5 -Jean Michel Jarre, Oxygene
No6 –Tomita, Snowflakes are Dancing + The Planets
So there you go just the start. What Records helped form your taste of music you love today.
Mike

The album I first bought was Elvis’ Golden Hits in 1958 when I was 12 and I still have it. I paid a week’s wages for it from working at my uncle’s grocery store - $4. My mother shook her head and told me in six months we’d never hear of that guy  The influence on me was profound because my parents listened listened to big band music and this was the beginning for my journey into different music worlds ... not that I don’t still enjoy the occasional big band listen.

No Roses by Shirley Collins and the Albion Band is folk rock but a lot of my instincts for what i want to play and sounds i want to achieve - even in other genres - come from that album

Dark Side
Pet Sounds
Rubber Soul
Sgt Pepper
Something, Anything
Each brought me something different. Be it music production and layering of sound textures, or vocal arranging, or mixing outside sound in with the instruments, or the one trick pony approach of Todd Rundgren. All different. All educational.

Black Sabbath (pretty much all of their stuff from the early days), Pink Floyd's Dark Side, Alvin Lee with 10 years after, Much of Creedence Clearwater's early stuff,
and anything else that featured guitars and vocal harmonies.
And of course... ZZ Top. practically everything they ever did. You can certainly hear Gibbon's influence in my style of playing to this very day.
I listened to a lot of top 40 radio as a matter of course, and of course the Beatles were always there as well.

You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

I discovered this fact about you from your website years ago and I knew at the moment we were kindred souls.

Have to give a big shout out for: Van Morrison's Vendon Fleece. The night I first heard this album roughly half a century ago, I was sharing a state of altered consciousness with my first love  (if you know what I mean). Hearing it today still takes me back to a very good place and time.

FWIW to this day I still have a Yes 'Complete' book with the transcription to Six Wives of Henry VIII .. so I can relate to above also. I actually learned to play it years ago .. got me into more than one band. First album I actually bought; Al Stewart Year of the Cat Next - Steeley Dan AJA (and a ton of others later) Then Tom Scott's Shadows ELO (whatever the name of it was that had Telephone Line and a bunch of other hits) About that time I started down the Pink Floyd and Yes road. .. of course before that, the very first album I 'owned' (my parents bought it for me), was Chameleon by Maynard. We went to his show at NAMM and left with the album, T-Shirt, you name it, as well as a few minutes with Stan Mark and Gordon Johnson. I was too young to even drive at that time. This of course led me to get the rest of his catalog as well as a few Mark Colby albums, etc. etc. Once I caught on to who did what and all the other stuff they did, I was hooked for a long time. Mark Colby and Bob James via Maynard, Tom Scott via Steely Dan, Bruford's solo stuff and work with King Crimson via Yes, etc I have been blessed in many ways due to my parents commitment to music and their business/store. They would sponsor shows by Doc, Maynard and others .. somewhere is a picture of little rharv sitting on Doc's lap .. .. and sitting in an intimate 200 capacity show with King Crimson in the late 70's-80 range, and then Alan Holdsworth not much later. They would have people like Michael Angelo Batio and such put on clinics for 20-30 people sometimes. Like I said, I had a very musically fortunate upbringing. That forged me more than my album collection.
Make your sound your own!
.. I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
