Your dad is soo like me in so many ways . And my 5 year old daughter already loves my vinyl collection and playing the piano and bass like dad. Love your vids , John Coltrane Miles Davis and Bill Evans are my hero’s
Dad's collection ain't messing about, he's made me stand up and walk to my vinyls to make sure my plastic still intact. . Note to self, never try to compete with any Daddy collection. Hehe
Dad is killing it!! Allman Bros, Cash, Byrds, JJ Cale, Coltrane, Miles, EW&F....on and on...Enjoyable vid, so great to see you share your love of music with your dad!
Seeing the first group of your Dad's albums after having watched the three videos of your collection kind of leaves me speechless, in the keyboard sense. Wow! Don't know that I've ever been in a record store that could rival what you've show to us. You are spoiling us with all this great content. Thanks much, and by the way love the abstract on the wall behind you both.
My father was a few years behind the Prog era. He graduated the same year as In the Court of the Crimson King. But he had very little Prog or Prog related material in his collection. He did have Moody Blues albums. Also some Santana. He really loved the live version of Conquistador from Procol Harum and Living in the Past by Jethro Tull. My Prog albums were the albums he liked most that I listened to. So I probably got him into Prog more than he ever got me into it. My Mother is a classical pianist and really liked my classic Genesis albums. I thought Dream Theater would be too heavy for her and she loved it. My cousin introduced me to Prog Metal when I was in high school. I loved Prog and Metal so it was an instant hit for me. My gateway into Prog was not my father’s Moody Blues albums but when I got into Tears for Fears. The best Prog Pop band ever. I really appreciated the complex time signatures, complexity, and creativity. They destroyed most their contemporaries in every category. They made me lose interest in mainstream music entirely. I had to start looking elsewhere. Started to listen to my parents music for a few years. After discovering Prog I ended up abandoning that music also. It’s been over 30 years now since I got into Prog and over 20 since I started becoming obsessed with it. Glad I was able to introduce my parents to it because they liked it more than I liked the music they were listening to.
I have to congratulate your father for be YOUR father!!! The relationship of your is so inspiring!!! I can see in your eyes when you look at him how you love him!!! Take care of him!!!
I like how this is a prog channel, and your dad is obvz a prog fan, but then "Pet Sounds" comes along and it's instantly the volume goes up to 11 😁 And Joy Division and the JAMC were outliers I didn't expect. Got to love the randomness of musical taste.
Wow! You and your dad have very good taste in music! 😃😃😃 This vinyl record collection is amazing! 💓 I found out your channel recently and I love it! Congrats!!! 😁😁😁👏👏👏
Your hair was gorgeous in this video......umm....so was your dad's. I LOVE those Beach Boys albums he included. Such high moments on each of them that were virtually ingnored! I grew up with and now have that Carpenters album. I could sit and talk music with both of you for hours!
I'm glad to see that you have a couple of Rory Gallagher albums in there, lol, and Madman Across the Water is Elton John's best album IMHO. Here's a fun fact about someone associated with 2 of your albums. My oldest sister dated Gram Parsons, who was big influence on the Byrd's Sweetheart of the Rodeo album and who was the founder of the Flying Burrito Brothers, back in the mid 1960's. There is still an annual festival held in my hometown of Winter Haven Florida called the Derry Down festival in honor of Gram and the Derry Down club in Winter Haven, where Gram and his first band were the house band, was restored and opened in 2016 as a venue to promote music education for young people. It is very clear that Dad has EXCELLENT taste in music !!! 👏👍✌️
Seems Your Dad and Me have run down down the same Roads where music is concerned.. Ironically i was actually playing Dark Star from The Live/Dead Album When Your Video Came Up .......Guys have a Good evening.
Love seeing you and your dad doing videos. He has a fantastic collection. I’d love to hear Govt Mule. Humble Pie, I had the pleasure to see them. I’m glad to see our taste in music runs parallel. Very much enjoyed it. Peace love and rock and roll ✌️
Favorite band of all time Rush followed by,Kraftwerk, Steve Hillage,The Smiths,U2,Ride,Eno,Pixies,Boards Of Canada,Bombay Bicycle Club,Aphex Twin etc etc......good music is good music whatever the genre ,people who only like one genre need a good errr Talking to.
This video brought tears to my eyes . . . so many albums I used to own before selling my whole collection a couple of decades ago. My biggest regret. :( I look forward to shedding more tears during the next part. Great channel, subbed. I wish you great success Niamh and dad. I'm about the same age as your old man, so it's great to have him to relate to when you show albums of "modern" bands I've never heard of. Oh, and I'm a bass player too, so I can relate to you as well. Win win! :)
Yay! America! Love those guys. Big Star! Byrds! Any Burritos? Ah, yes. Carpenters! Folsom Prison was the first album I bought myself. I'm guessing we grew up at the same time. CTA! Eagles! I could go on but you know what you have. Thank you both for sharing.
Great collection so far. I have many of those albums, and seen many of those artists live. Including Warren Haynes with Blue Floyd !!! I also have a Kandinsky hanging in my living room. ✨✨✨
Of course I enjoy this. Nice shirt Pete. Niamh, I look forward to your channel every day. I enjoy interacting with you and your followers. Now for a question. Has your dad heard Phish perform the entire WHITE album?
Waited for Home to appear. Home were a British rock band, active in the early 1970s. The core line up featured Mick Stubbs on lead guitar and lead vocals, Laurie Wisefield on lead guitar and vocals, Cliff Williams on bass guitar and vocals, and Mick Cook on drums. They also had two keyboardists during their existence. From 1971 to 1972 it was Swansea's Clive John (from the Welsh band Man), and the other for the rest of their short career was Jimmy Anderson. They started touring in November when they supported Led Zeppelin at the second Electric Magic Show at the Wembley Empire Pool. From then on, they opened for groups such as Argent, The Jeff Beck Group, and The Faces. In September of the same year, they went into the studio again to record the Home album. The LP reached number 41 in the UK Albums Chart. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_(UK_band)
Your dad is such a cool dude! Awesome collection, I can see where you may get your box set bug from 😂 loving the mid-period Beach Boys stuff as well! So dope that he has the UHQR Aqualung! Seriously keep these vids with your dad coming!
You can tell a Dead fan from a 1000 yards. It’s something you can’t hide. I loved the way your Dad’s voice changed when you reached the Janis Joplin album. What a voice indeed. Great video.
Such a diverse bunch of albums. I need to jot down every band/album that I haven't heard yet. Given how much I like what I have heard out of this list, I'm sure the rest will live up to my expectations. Thank you both for the fantastic video
It's the thing I miss the most: going to the record store, picking up random stuff and just hoping for an exciting discovery... there are no records stores left in my home town. :-( Of course there are new and amazing ways to discover new music and it's mind-blowing how I can do everything on my computer... but since it's much easier to find new good stuff, the excitement isn't as big anymore.
Greetings from Chicago. Wow it’s like your dad was going through my vinyl collection. I really enjoy your videos. You and your dad make a great team. ✌️✌️
My age is probably somewhere in the middle between the 2 of you (I guess a few years closer to your dad). What amazes me the most is the many-sidedness of your dad's taste in music and that he obviously never lost his ability to get into something new. Gotan Project? For real? That is so amazing! :-)
23 years old - record collector (When the money is available) - Might be commenting on sacred territory, but the Strange Days vocal inflections and the subsequent reaction was just perfect - Just found your channel - Engaging, light hearted and enjoyable :) Keep it up! Take care, and stay safe.
So good. One might find it a bit hilarious if one wasn't exactly the same oneself. Band of Horses you say? Very interesting, i picked up their first one. The Cranberries you say? I do declare, i just played that before i got on here! Churchill's you say? I was reading about this album on rym just last night! Must check it out. I love how your dad has all his albums in plastic outer sleeves Niamh. True dedication to and proper respect for vinyl!
I have a huge (and very expensive) Carpenters collection including all of their anniversary box sets and rare recordings. Greatest female vocalist of all time.
I like just about everything you and your dad like. Obviously from my profile picture you can see I love the Doors but being a huge Deadhead, I really appreciated that collection! 😊
Great collection! And Kind of Blue is my pick for best recording ever. It's nice to see you and your dad love many styles of music. And the Carpenters were good. My closet is full of guilty pleasures, most I keep from my wife so she won't lose what little respect she has for my music tastes. {:-)
This is cool, as I usually end up rooting through people's music collections and it's cool to see. Thanks for sharing yours with us. I forgot to ask before if you had any Ozric Tentacles or Gong? Cream? I have them. Miles was a master, Kind of Blue is an album that changed history. SRV? how did I not know about Govt Mule? Thanks for the introduction. I shall be checking them out.
Wow!! Never heard anyone mention Big Star outside of my hometown of Memphis. Buddy of mine is a session player at Ardent and runs into surviving members from time to time.
Great video! Knew i’d enjoy this! Is the copy of closer by Joy Division an original? As it’s often hard to tell unless the sleeve is aged and a bit musty smelling in which case it’s an original to me! I ask because when doing to recent(ish) reissues warners who own the JD back catalogue got the fine details so precise that even the runout groove messages are the same as the originals!!!!
I don't know how old your Dad is, but I'm a 57 year old American and I'm amazed at his collection and he comes across as an incredibly cool man. Keep him close and cherish him.
Isn't it amazing how music can preserve memories much better than pictures? It's like everything comes back... the way it actually _felt_ . A few years ago, I made a list for which I chose 1 song for every year of my life with 1 short note attached to it (only 5 or 6 words). I was born 1978, my list started with the year 1984... It was such a fun and satisfying thing to do. :-)
Niamh, have you ever opened one of your dads gatefolds and had old seeds come tumbling out? I want to party with Dad! You guys are great. The love and respect you have for your dad is so apparent it warms my heart on this bone chilling day on the shores of the Chesapeake.
Awesome albums and a lot of nice box sets - would love to have that Garcia/Saunders at the Keystone boxset!!! (I have the double lp). It looks like you have many newer reissues, must be quite an investment. Nice Dead collection, I would add their acoustic live set" Reckoning" and "Shakedown Street"
Aloha Niamh, You dad sure has an extensive record collection, I never seen some of those box sets before "Allman Brothers", are these Imports, if so what country. Your dad's record collection puts mine to shame, I love seeing his variety in music , from Jimi Hendrix to The Carpenters, that was me in the 1970's also, I would listen to Deep Purple & also listen to Bread. Thank you again for a super Video. Looking forward to your next Video. Tell your dad Hi , from another 64 year old In Hawaii. Mahalo ed.
Your Dad is cool. Very knowledgeable, and a great eclectic taste. And he's a Gram Parsons fan! And Blackberry Smoke? Joy Division? Awesome. Thanks again for a great episode, goodnight!
Your dad has some great stuff! "Sweethearts of the Rodeo" and "Gilded Palace of Sin," despite being the furthest thing from prog rock, are two of my favorite albums, too. If your dad loves those albums, I'll bet he would also love (if he hasn't heard them already) Gene Clark's solo albums, like "No Other," "White Light," "Roadmaster" and "Two Sides to Every Story." And haha!--I was wondering (since he had said "West Coast rock" in a previous video) if he would have "It's a Beautiful Day" in his collection, he did not disappoint! :)
Also, the album Gram Parsons made pre-Byrds (it's called "International Submarine Band") is awesome too...they did a fantastic rock song called "One Day Week"
I love the variety of music you Dad is interested in from John Coltrane to Beck that spans 50 years of music and sharing his own personal memories , I look forward seeing the remaining Lps from his collection, that will prompt me to think, that group or artist is worth checking out 🎸🙂
Wow, you are really into Americana style music! If you like the Doobie Brothers, I just finished reading Ted Templeman's autobiography - he spends a lot of time talking about them. Nice collection! I have that Nicky Hopkins - best piano player ever. I just got the UHQR Aqualung. I didn't think anything could beat Steven Wilson's remix. I'm glad I was wrong!
Peter is the cool dad I always wanted 😭. Obviously he has a very marked psychedelic-sixties base but definitely embraces many classic rock staples. Highlights (my personal taste) from this 1st part is Rory Gallagher's Irish Tour '74; Walk on Hot Calls is one of my all time air guitar songs (it's not shredding, I don't know what it is). Jazz is my second love. Any human being with Miles, Coltrane and Bill Evans in their collection, is best friend material.
And The Carpenters will never be guilty pleasure material. This movie scene is evidence thereof: m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-T7ZLIqJ8RN4.html
I love your passion for music ( both of you), there are many artists there that passed me by, you can't listen to everything! I had as few carpenters LPS but no one would admit it....still loved the songs and Karen's voice!
Your Dad seems to be really into Southern Rock. Does he like The Black Crowes and in particular their later stuff that's a little bit country sounding.
Love the collection vid. Referring to one of the Grateful Dead albums, your Dad mentioned Stamford in Connecticut but pretty sure it was probably Stanford in California. I live in Stamford and am quite sure the Dead never played here. Also the album was moving pretty fast but quite sure I spotted a "CA" on the cover which would be California. Also surprised to see no Focus or Gentle Giant. Keep up the good work.
Great Video, great collection and a great Dad you have. I saw many old Vinyl friends of mine and many new to search for. But please can you answer me one question? I did not get the name of the band between Fleetwood Mac and Patty Griffin. (The one with the b&w Cat Cover) Thanx for your answer.
Again a great video I was lucky to see blackberry smoke first UK gig at Camden barfly 200 people intimate gig drank with them after the show top people your dad has a grest collection I have many of the same albums
Grea8 collection 🤩 I have one recommendation for both of you..Spyrogyra..Bells, boots and shambles from 1973..pretty obscure folk prog and crazy rare album.. Well worth a listen...opening track frikken awesome 🤘
Also the exclusive copy of “American Beauty” that you have, is it the recent anniversary website exclusive on multicoloured vinyl? That sold out quicker than you could blink! Plus it’s coming from the states so the postage and customs costs must’ve been astronomical??!!
Your father and I are the same age. I am surprised how many American albums he owns. Conversely, I am American and my vinyl collection has a lot of British music.
Although I'm a CD person, I really enjoy watching your videos. And I think, even I'm closer to the edge of you dad, I'd closer to your music collection. Do you like Radiohead? My personal favorite album is Kid A. Regards from Aguascalientes, Mexico.
