Even so, there are definitely some areas of 'common ground' in the world of music; places where most fans will be able to agree that a few choice albums are standout achievements. So these exceptional titles will be owned by an awful lot of people.

There are a small amount of bands/singers who seem to have a universal and ultra-popular appeal; performers who always get it right, no matter what type of song they are singing into their microphones. And these types of people create albums which will appeal to a far bigger audience; music you will see in a very great number of record collections!

Here are a few examples from that category.

'Tea for the Tillerman' - Cat Stevens

The timeless, searching lyrics of Cat Stevens have reached out to more than just one generation of music lovers. It may now be almost forty years since the release of 'Tea for the Tillerman' but it has certainly not aged one little bit. Cat Stevens' gentle voice, wise words and beautiful guitar work are a truly winning combination.

'The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and ...
... the Spiders From Mars' -David Bowie

David Bowie is one of the most influential and stylish singer/songwriters the world has ever seen and 'Ziggy Stardust' is an absolute masterwork. This landmark album is a mountain of the Glam Rock era and it houses some of Bowie's greatest ever songs!

'Hounds of Love' - Kate Bush

This magical and deeply imaginative album is undoubtedly Mrs. Bush's ultimate achievement. Every song is a treat to the ears and the production really is spot on. There are so many different instruments, vocals, samples and sounds to enjoy on 'Hounds of Love'. The 1980s would never have been the same without this superb album.

Any Beatles

There's just something very special about the music of The Beatles. It has appealed to both the young and the old for many long years. Just about everyone will have something from the Lennon/McCartney stable; although 'Abbey Road', 'Revolver' and ‘The White Album' are all commonly-owned favourites.

'Dark Side of the Moon' - Pink Floyd

Undoubtedly one of the most amazing albums ever to have been recorded and it was totally groundbreaking at the time of its release! The Floyd's sound is still just as distinctive today and their incredibly original songs are loved by music fans the world over. Of course, not everyone will have 'Dark Side of the Moon' in their record collection. they may well have ‘Wish you were Here' instead!
