Everybody’s Top 5 - Vinyl


Been reading what’s on everyone’s turntable tonight and got to wondering…what’s your top 5?

Here’s mine:
Dire Straits-Dire Straits
Fleetwood Mac-Tusk
The Police-Ghost In The Machine
Eric Clapton-Unplugged
Tom Petty-Wildflowers And All the Rest

clearthinker, I think you are being a little rough on Richard. Hand of Kindness and Daring Adventures are really great records. I do think he has gone soft in the last ten years or so but hey, everyone's entitled to get old. I forgot to mention Shoot Out The Lights with Linda. There are a lot of people who think that was his best album. 
I'm a big fan of Richard Thompson's post-Fairport catalog. I consider Pour Down Like Silver, I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight, Hokey Pokey, and Shoot Out the Lights all to be essential albums. While it's true that solo years have been spottier, there are some highlights. For example, Mirror Blue is a great album.I also enjoy the Acoustic Classics collections, both excellent. He's still a vital live performer, too. We saw him open for Jason Isbell a couple of years ago and he was in great form.
