Kontakte - Karlheinz Stockhausen Early electronic music album from 1960. More avant-garde than dance-pop but influential for... such as The Beatles. Think I've read that McCartney?s favorite Stockhausen piece is ?Gesang Der Jünglinge?, but it is not on this unfortunately. I think it's even earlier, 1958 or something. I don't have it in my collection... yet at least.

Bee Gees' 1st - Bee Gees A 2006 reissue of their 1967 album with mono and stereo versions on disc one and a second disc of previously unissued tracks. Lovely album with baroque arrangements and a psychedelic soundscape. I think they also made some catchy songs in their disco period in the 70s but their 60s sound is a favorite on my stereo.
-
The Final Cut - Pink Floyd Pink Floyds' equivalent to "Let It Be". At least when it comes to stories of members who have outgrown each other and can no longer function as a band. It's pretty much a Roger Waters solo album in everything but name and musician credits. But as with "Let It be" I think "The Final Cut" is musically good on its own terms and plays almost like a footnote to the megalomania of "The Wall". Maybe not their best or the most 'Floydian' but still a favorite on my stereo.

Move Over Darling: The Complete Stiff Recordings - Tracey Ullman All her recordings in one double compilation package. Tracey's 1983 debut album "You Broke My Heart in 17 Places" was most made for fun, she is an actress not an artist. But her 50s-60s girl group parody for the 80s is as fresh and fun thirty years later, I think. The sequel "You Caught Me Out" (1984) is more of the same and almost as good. It was these two she made and one might say that she quit while the going was good and continued with what she really is good at, being a comedienne. A note: Wix is credited with keyboards on "You Caught Me Out".

12" maxi-single: Hope for the Future - Paul McCartney I have grown to love the main version. It reminds me a bit of "Through Our Love" and "Only Love Remains", the type of epically orchestrated 80s ballads. I also think the Trash rocker mix works surprisingly well. It's got a nice drive. Side B has dance mixes, okay enough but I play Side A most often.

Soused - Scott Walker + Sunn O))) The lead vocals of Scott Walker with the drone metal band Sunn O))). Dark and experimental as he has been in recent years but with more guitars.

So Beautiful or So What - Paul Simon Still his most recent studio album from 2011. Maybe not a collection of his most catchy memorable songs but is musically worth a listen. It may take some listens to get into with its intricate detail. "Getting Ready for Christmas Day" is addictive enough from the old master painter. I saw him live with Sting earlier this year and it was a good concert. Many of the same musicians.
