Robert sounding like Patrick Bateman explaining that Genesis album.

12:44 Mama is the song that made me say this f#cking album kicks a$$

You can eat lunch at my table Robert. It's hip to be square.

If it makes you feel any better, my favorite Zeppelin album is "In Through The Out Door" - and I feel that makes me infinitely less cool than someone who chooses Zep IV as their favorite! Carouselambra, baby.

I always knew your favorite Miles Davis album was Kind Of Blue. Makes sense, jazz is your favorite genre

When we were 7th or 8th graders, I went to stay overnight at my Amish friend's house here in rural Arthur Illinois. Late at night we snuck out to an old implement shed, hooked his clandestine eight track player to an old tractor battery, and flew like eagles. I still love that old Steve Miller Band album, thanks for rekindling a great memory!

Ummagumma, Volunteers, 1999, Led Zepplin 1, no Radiohead (their entire existence was too commercial for me), Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, Brave New World, Transformer, and of course Never Mind the Bollocks, and so it goes, and so it goes. Thanks for the vid.

Hi Robert. I hadn't watched your YT channel in some time, probably watching too many videos on world news, and I'm so glad I'm here again, like a breath of fresh air after everything that is going around in the world, depressing to the max. Anyway, your Genesis favorite album segment really made the day, obviously everybody was expecting Foxtrot or TLLDOB or Nursery Cryme or SEBTP, and it was Genesis from 1983 your favorite, that was surprising and funny, because I really don't like any Genesis' albums without PG, but that's what makes your channel great and entertaining, there's always respect, you never put anyone down just for disagreeing, btw my favorite Genesis album is Foxtrot 😅. Nice to be here again watching your videos.

I gotta confess, Invisible Touch is my fav Genesis album😬

Robert, I find your channel very entertaining! You speak from your heart. Sometimes the artists best album is their most successful. “Taking It All Too Hard” is a lovely ballad in a minor key. The Genesis album has a melancholy feel to it, which makes it unique.

Great video Robert. I think that Prince Purple Rain is an absolute perfect album. I had got a second copy and was cleaning it to resell and was just checking it for sound quality on my stereo and I couldn't stop listening to it. I truly believe it is one of the best albums of all time.

I haven't thought about music in this way since I was in my early 20s. Watching this made me remember the days of trying to be cool.😂 Thanks for the laughs.

Rewatch! Love that Genesis album. OK Computer is Dark Side of the Moon for the digital age, also a favorite! I only own one Steve Miller on vinyl, it's this! Great video R! (I like Invisible Touch)

Haha, I was never a cool kid. I had Supertramp and Greg Kihn Band written on my pencil case.😂

I'm not sure about most commercially successful, but my tastes often align with the albums that are most critically lauded. I'm definitely with you on Floyd and Zep. That Floyd reissue jacket is unbelievable - what do you do when you're reissuing a record that has the most iconic and perfect album cover of all time? F**k with it. Makes perfect sense.

I salute you for liking Led Zeppelin IV. Production wise is a milestone, people may say Stairway is overplayed but the SOUND....its a masterpiece! Genesis' 1983 S/T rocks, sometimes its my favorite. Just a Job to Do rocks and Mama is just the perfect opener.

Dark Side of the Moon is also my favorite album from Pink Floyd. It was strong, from beginning to the end. It is very similar, in my opinion, in quality to Def Leppard's: Pyromania. It too, like you said about "Dark Side", is a "masterpiece". 😁

Moondance Van Morrison might be overplayed but it sounds so good and it’s just brilliant songwriting.

Oh!!! Another DSOTM release!!! What will be the version that comes out next month????? I only have 1 copy so I better get with it!!!

Thank God you don't like I can't Dance. You're right about Home By the Sea though-- thats a banger!

Yes Robert... It Does Happen Now And Then Doesn't It!!!!! Friends Do Shake Their Heads At Me, When I Say " Coda" Is My My Fav Zep.... So I Walk This Land In Shame!!!!lol!!

Made me think and I realised that for whatever reason most of my favourite albums are the debuts albums of nearly all my favourite artists

I was never a Cool Kid ... I make no excuses for what I like or don't. (And I thank you for kind of/sort of defending ASIA on the latest Guncles episode - it's one of my favorites!) The real problem with that Genesis record is the cover. "I'm gonna take a picture of my kids TUPPERWARE toys and convince a rock band to put it on it's album!" ... certainly a WTF moment.

I almost convinced that WE WENT TO DIFFERENT HIGH SCHOOLS TOGETHER! love the specs!

Prince turned his name into a symbol as part of a rebellion against his record company

OMFG you are SO entertaining! Enjoy your favorites, you're still cool 😎

All great albums. I'm 44 so I'm not a cool kid lol. Great video as usual.

The trouble with Stairway to Heaven was that throughout my teens (when I was mostly into punk) it was always played in every pub that had Hard Rock juke box and then there was everyone of my hard rock loving friends that had the album. By the time I got to 28yo I was sick of hearing it. Even today, if it comes on the radio I find it a little hacky. But I still love the IV album as a whole.

There is some classic rock station here in Portland that Somebody has on in my bathroom at work. Stairway to heaven plays pretty much every day. I hate it when these programmers only play two or three songs about a wonderful group like Led Zeppelin

I am definitely not cool either. Although Wish You Were Here is my favorite from Pink Floyd and my favorite from Genesis is anything before Peter Gabriel left, I agree with much of the rest. In addition, my favorite Springsteen is Born to Run. My favorite AC/DC is Back in Black and my favorite from the Eagles(and the only one I own) is Hotel California. Of course, my favorite from Frampton is Frampton Comes Alive. What, you thought it was I’m in You?

Charles Mingus. I played it as background music.like you siggested. Then played it again....and again.....and again. It went from background music status to maybe my favorite album. Man, that Charles Mingus is great!

Band On The Run is the band's best-selling and best album.

Love that JA song too, 3/5 of a mile in 10 seconds = 216 mph

Pink Floyd - Animals Kiss - KIss Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti Rolling Stones - Sticky Fingers Bowie - Hunky Dory Queen - Sheer Heart Attack Beatles - Abbey Road Radio Head - OK Computer Black Sabbath - Master of Reality Rush - A Farewell To Kings Lou Reed - Live Animal Metallica - Kill Em All Robert, thanks for making me think about it. And tomorrow I will listen to Fly Like An Eagle while at work.

I love lists , i make them , my top ten albums have stayed the same for years and yes their all pretty obvious , no point in kidding yerself to be cool ,,London Calling , Queen is Dead , Whos Next , Revolver , Ziggy Stardust , Darkside Of The Moon , Never Mind The Bollocks , Nevermind , The Joshua Tree , The Stone Roses

my favorite Beach Boys album is the Kokomo cassingle I had in grade school

OK Computer is probably my favorite Radiohead album too. Fun fact, back in the day, it was already quite a change from their previous 2 albums. I know my friends who were big fans of the band at the time were quite disappointed with it when it came out while I was: are you kidding? this is the bomb. A month later we went to a festival (in the eastern part of France) and Radiohead was there and they played the whole OK computer album in their set. Needless to say, after that my friends were hooked too. I also love Radiodread which the reggae version of OK Computer by Easy Star All Stars. (Also back to Radiohead, Kid A is a close second)

Led Zeppelin’s 4th album. Bob Seger’s first live album (Live Bullet). The Eagles first greatest hits album. My favorites and their most popular albums. So I guess I’m also a dork.

Another great video Robert. I’m with you on this that latest release DSOTM is the same cut as the 50th anniversary apparently. £60 in the UK. I’ll hope to find it in the overstock racks in the not too distant future.

You probably know that “You hit me with a flower” was Andy Warhol‘s contribution. He came up with that line. He was a big supporter of Lou and the Velvet Underground in the early days. He was almost as much a part of the group as anybody was.

Right with you on the Steve Miller Band & Lou Reed albums . Sensational 😎👌🎸

It's like when you were a teenager and you told people you like punk rock and they asked what bands you like.. If we said sex pistols , it meant you were posser

Great choices! Fun fact, I think Genesis "Just a Job to Do" was used as the theme song for a really bad Miami Vice ripoff short-lived TV series in 1985. The Insiders! 😂

Your favorite sex pistols album is the only album the sex pistols ever made!😆

Wow. The symbol album from Prince is far and away my favorite of his.

If it makes you feel any better, Purple Rain has become my favorite Prince album too. Ha. Actually heard another KZfaqr say if that's your favorite Prince album, then "you're not a real Prince fan". Whatever. I find people are actually starting to turn against Transformer for some reason. They don't rank it as his best nor their no. 1 favorite of his. Still mine, though.

Robert just so you know you do need an app on your phone to make that Blur lp work right. Apparently you can try blinking fast but im thinking the app will work better. PS : i tend to treat Dark Side like the Beatles. So good it doesn’t get rated anymore. For me Animals will always be my favorite lp from one of my favorite bands. I was seventeen when it came out. I loved it the minute i heard it and probably even more so today. I saw them play it twice at MSG NYC that summer with all of Wish You Were Here too. When i die ill insist they play at my funeral in its entirety!!

7:43 jermaker? Noooooooo! Not you toooooo!!

Back In Black is AC/DC's magnum opus. Fight me.

That is bar none my favorite Genesis album. Solid from start to end. Did you know the song “Hey Hey Guy” by Ken Laszlo is based on the synth line in “Second Home By The Sea”?

You make it cool to be un-cool...

Great list, here are a few of mine that weren't mentioned: 1) Boz Scaggs - Silk Degrees 2) The Doors - s/t 3) Dusty Springfield - Dusty in Memphis 4) Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road 5) George Harrison - All Things Must Pass 6) Harry Nilsson - Nilsson Schmilsson 7) Jethro Tull - Aqualung 8) Kansas - Leftoverture 9) Parliament - Funkentelechy vs. The Placebo Syndrome 10) Rick Springfield - Working Class Dog 11) Steely Dan - Aja 12) Supertramp - Breakfast in America 13) Traffic - Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys 14) Warren Zevon - Excitable Boy

Robert, one of the reasons why I love ''Dark Side Of The Moon'' is the fantastic drumming by Nick Mason. The sound of the human heartbeat can be heard throughout the album and the drums interact nicely with it. I really enjoy the Ace Of Base album, ''The Sign'', that sold a few million copies and you must have the promo version.

I think with Pink Floyd the official poser album to love is the Wall. ..cause their best song is 'we don't need no edumication'.

Agree about the song "Mama" what's with the "Ha ha ha"? I hate that non-sense. But disagree about "I Can't Dance" I love the song and the video too. These guys have a good sense of humor that shows up in the words and the video of that song.

Gotta agree with you about the Genesis pick. Not crazy about Mana, either, but the rest of it is consistent...and I say that as a fan of the band's outout during the Peter Gabriel era. I'll have to revisit Fly Like An Eagle. I think i was burned out on that one, but still like Steve Miller. Theres nothing uncool about Never Mind the Bollocks.

Sometimes it feels good to get stuff like this off one's chest and fess up: there's comfort in numbers! But what, no KISS?! 😎🎶 Another enjoyable vid Robert.

The first time I heard the beginning of Fly like an Eagle, I was hooked. Then I got the album and it was a winner for sure. I even found a sealed copy of maybe not first but definitely early pressing of the album. And you're right follow it with Book of Dreams. I now have a lot of SMB albums but there's still a few I don't (more recent ones). Also, am I the only one to absolutely hate The Joker?

These are all magnificent

Boy did you nail Prince, totally agree with you. I have so many of his CDs but they have not aged very well.

As someone whose favorite album is usually not the band's biggest, I can tell you that we are the biggest freakin' dorks, haha. However, I will never belittle someone for what they like. I also love plenty of albums that are the band's biggest. Like I think Nevermind is Nirvana's best. I am not going to overthink that one. I also distinguish between "favorite" and "best." The best Rolling Stones album is Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers, or Exile On Main St. But my personal favorite is the original UK Between The Buttons. Is it one of their best? Absolutely, but I cannot call it their best because it does not represent them well enough. And I will NEVER get sick of When The Levee Breaks. Not possible. I played the drums growing up. Obviously all the cool kids know Summer In Paradise is the greatest Beach Boys album... I think Radiohead makes fun of their own fans who like Creep, haha. Funny, my favorite Genesis is the Gabriel era, and I think Nursery Cryme-Foxtrot-Selling England By The Pound-Lamb Lies Down On Broadway is like one of the most perfect four-album runs ever. BUT I think the 1983 self-titled Genesis is fantastic. I love Mama. I love pissing off my brother with it. And Illegal Alien is so catchy it should be, well, illegal.

last one...brilliant (don't want to spoil it for the others) genesis s/t is also my favorite. it may be their most rockin' / not very prog sounding album.

“All I can do is be me, whoever that is” ~ Bob Dylan

Def Leppard's Hysteria. Yeah it's over produced hard rock, but fantastic tracks. Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here beats Darkside for me

the prism is enough cover art for DSOTM

All great choices

What's your favorite Herb Alpert album?

A small piece of me died when you admitted what your favourite Genesis album was, Robert. 😂

what a fantastic video have a wonderful day Robert also nice glasses ❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊 also I am not a cool kid as well to be honest

Radiohead- The Bends. Before they went more experimental. I am so uncool.

I remember when the Genesis album came out and "Mama" was the lead single. It was soon after The Police's "Synchronicity" album came out, with Andy Sumner's "Mother" track. I was like "What is it with these guys and their creepy songs about mothers?". However, I enjoy Mama's moody atmosphere, whereas Mother is just odd and not terribly enjoyable.

What a coincidence - that’s my favourite Sex Pistols album, too.

As a life long Prince fan it doesn’t bother me when people say their favorite Prince album is Purple Rain. What’s annoying is the people that say they have been “ a fan since 1978” yet ALL they know is Purple Rain and maybe a couple other 80s singles

Hey Robert! Do you like 80s new wave like Ultravox?

Some great choices there! Surrealistic Pillow is a fabulous record, start to finish! Now that Genesis pick took guts to admit! haha, I do like that record, and I also love.....Invisible Touch! How uncool is that? Cheers

My word my favourite Radiohead album is OK Computer and mine is also a pre-release promo CD my mate “acquired” for me when he was the manager of a record shop. Are we related?

I personally love that Love Symbol album! Only SOTT covers so much musical ground

Interesting (and funny) point. So then, what's your top 10 one-album wonder, albums? Love to hear about it.

I agree with the major of your picks. I see your point about Ok Comp. I’d recommend the vinyl too. I’ve always had Steve Millers Hits album. But I’ve been discovering all his albums before The Joker. So right now my favorite is Brave New World . Do you have his early stuff? FLa Eagle kicks ass too btw is that a mercury label or Capitol .

Robert, you can eat lunch at my table...because it's our table.

I here ya, but man the 50th remix sounds soooo much better than the 2011 i had. So i traded it in to get the 50th. But my favorite album is wish you were here, because of personal reasons with a friend who suffers from Schizophrenia.

8:10 lmao

First step in being “cool” is not caring if people think you’re cool or not. So like what you like, and coolness be damned. I know, you need content.

09:09 That makes it cool.

Those were my favourite albums when I was twelve😂

I think when an artist's album is uncool is when we believe they "sold out." None of these cane across that way (now if you had mentioned genesis invisible touch maybe as in some ways that came across to me as no jacket required ii)

Springsteen fans can be quick to diss you if Born In The USA is your favourite

Fly Like An Eagle is soooooo good.

Who's Next and Paranoid are easy picks

Trusted him with the ok computer pick until he said karma police was his favourite and man.

I have all of those, so it follows you have very good taste...hah, hah Peace and Love, Terry Tutor

Perfect Day is about heroin. Quite a love song

Dark Side is not my favorite but it did top my Top Ten List of 1973. I purged Purple Rain. Dirty Mind is my favorite. That Mama song is my favorite on the album. I did purge it though. It seems that whites are most likely to have a problem with Illegal Alien. Transformer is great but Berlin is my favorite. I agree with on the Beach Boys and Sex Pistols.

I have 2 copies of this album an old CD I found and the Imersion Box Set - Anyone buying this Plastic Picture crap is being played, Roger's got stacks of cash from the constant touring so I guess it's Dave sucking every last cent out of gullible fans. Lou Reeds "Take No Prisoners" is the best live album ever, It sounds like you are there. "Perfect Day" is about Herion - Also Mick Ronson Produced that album Bowie was just a big name to add to it for the record Companies - "Raw Power" was produced by Bowie and it sounded like complete shit until it was remixed and became listenable.

My favorite Herbie Hancock album is Perfect Machine from 1988 I have both the original CD and vinyl LP version of that album I know it is not as popular as his other albums that came before such as the Future shock album from 1983 but it's still a very good album that I think everyone should check out and listen to

Does the reissue Dark Side Of The Moon picture disk tick tick - - tick tick?

FM radio killed Steve Miller for me. Enough already.

Im a HUGE Pearl Jam fan and have no problem admitting Ten is their best work. I love them all but that album was lightning in a bottle.

I think the current state of Speakers Corner is they are still pressing the titles they have the licensing for. As far as new releases, I don't think they are doing anything on that front. Acoustic Sounds put out a video at the end of 2023 with the distributor responding to this question and it sounds like the label owner might be close to retiring, so I doubt they are pursuing new titles very much, if at all. I will link the video if KZfaq will let me. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r9-ToJZ3t9une40.htmlsi=GUdLD-pwYreFbBus

Hey ROBERT!
