THE PROG CORNER'S TOP 10 COMFORT ALBUMS: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-49--EXiR9zg.html I meant to say "She's A Rainbow", not "Ruby Tuesday" for the Stones album I talk about.

In Rainbows by Radiohead, and X&Y by Coldplay, are the two albums which give me most comfort - a mixture of nostalgia and the overall vibe of the albums

Pretty much any Suzanne Vega album is a comfort to me, especially her first 7 albums.

Larry, I'm going to go off the beaten path for my choices for my favorite comfort albums: Tee Vee Toons' series of albums entitled Television's Greatest Hits, Volumes 1-7, plus Tee Vee Toons: The Commercials. The albums are compilations of TV theme songs from the 1950s-1990s, and the Commercials album is self-explanatory. These albums never fail to relax me, no matter how stressful the day has been. I love all kinds of music, but these are my go-to albums for relaxation.

Everything the Beatles do comforts me Larry,they're so good! Bob

I always find comfort in Hounds of Love by Kate Bush, and Tidal by Fiona Apple. Others include Under the Pink by Tori Amos, Bjork's Post, and Sparks A Woofer in Tweeter's Clothing, and finally The Milk-Eyed Mender by Joanna Newsome. It's good to see you back on track, Larry. Keep on keepin' on!

As far as an Elvis Presley Album I would pick That’s The Way It Is. Recorded in 1970.

There was a copy of Slow Train Coming staring me down every time I visited my local antique shop's record section. Your videos finally convinced me to actually pick it up :D

Hi Larry, interesting topic and made me think. I would choose (at the moment) but in no particular order: Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon Blackfield - Blackfield or Blackfield 2 America - Holiday The Beatles - Rubber Soul or Revolver Bread - Lost Without Your Love The Moody Blues - Seventh Sojourn Chris Rea - Dancing With Strangers Deep Purple - Machine Head Keane - Hopes & Fears Terry Hall - Home

Astral Weeks, Abbey Rd, Meddle, Blood on the Tracks, Teaser and the Firecat and Selling England by the Pound

Great ranking! I can totally understand. I do need to get your #1 choice and to listen to some CAN, I'm sure I'll love it.

Abbey Road (Beatles) New World Record (ELO) Crime of the Century (Supertramp) An Innocent Man (Billy Joel) London Calling (Clash) Boston (debut) Aja (Steely Dan) Duke (Genesis) Chicago II Exile on Main Street (Stones)

Thank God for Tiny Tim is the happiest album I’ve ever heard- instantly puts me in a good mood.

Here are a couple of albums that I find comforting in no particular order. The Beatles - Magical Mystery Tour Beach Boys - Pet Sounds R.E.M. - Automatic for the People Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon Coldplay - Parachutes Radiohead - In Rainbows Green Day - Warning The Kinks - Village Green Preservation Society The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses 👍xxxx

Hello from Classic Album Review! He said you're cool so here I am, subbed.

I have more than 10 but here are 10 that comforts me 1.Harvest Neil Young, 2.Harvest Moon Neil Young 3 Brothers in Arms Dire Straits, 4 Green River CCR, 5 Annies Song John Denver,6 Taxi Harry Chapin, 7 Abraxas Santana,8 Bee Gees Holiday, 9Deja Vu C.S.N.and Y ,10 Gary Puckett and the Union Gap Greatest Hits. 😎👍

My comfort experiences include: George Harrison: All Things Must Pass Connected with me at 19. Love most of the album! The Snowman, Opus [symphonic work] No. 323 (tone poem composed by English composer Howard Blake): A British animated television special with pantomime, pastels and music [with a companion performance version for storyteller, orchestra and boy soprano] (on Spotify)], this work of art is made for the inner child in mind. The emotions kick in when I hear the start of the score, yearning for a simple period of life. Because of my Christian values, it is also a sign of being a morally different [or mature] person. Generally aimed at younger children, the experience can be appreciated at different learning levels during the December months, and as an inner child myself, I have loved it since before I started schooling [preschool days]. Simon and Garfunkel: Bookends A desert island album for me, including "Overs." Stunning concept from childhood to growing older! Elvis Costello/Burt Bacharach: Painted From Memory Some people do not like this album at all, but my father has loved it since the album came out. That's all for now.

Nice choices, Larry. Congratulations on your new channel. Great to see Coney Island Baby, definitely one of my comfort albums. I’ll check out the albums I don’t know. ❤ ✌️

For me, it's any Jack Johnson song or album. Always puts me in a good mood. Beach Boys' Pet Sounds would be my other pick. Glad to see this channel thriving, Larry! Cheers!

My go-to comfort album lately is the Beach Boy’s Friends album. It’s lovely.

My favorite song from chaos and creation is friends to go yeah

Followed you here after seeing your goodbye video on your other channel. I’ll keep watching you here then.

Larry!!!! ❤❤❤

An Album that Relaxes me is by Eddy Arnold. The album is called Cattle Call. This album has some great country tunes.

Some music is strictly medicinal. Some is recreational.

Now I’m thinking Future Days by Can needs to be on my list. It’s soooo relaxing and chill

Great choices. King Of America is so good and he needed to make that album then. Seemed like his creative muse had abandoned him with the previous 2 albums. No Other is a stone cold classic to my ears. I need more Lou Reed in my life. I have Rock n Roll Animal but want more studio stuff. I'd recommend Tim Buckley's Happy Sad album from 1969. It's a great Sunday morning listen

Mine would have to be Roxy Music‘s Avalon, of course anything by The Beatles or Daryl Hall & John Oates. Bread & Simon & Garfunkel song with anything by solo Beatles. Thanks for staying positive, Larry. 💁🏻‍♀️😊

1 Suede - The Blue Hour 2 Gary Numan - Dance 3 Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott - Wisdom, Laughter and Lines 4 Roxy Music - Avalon 5 Depeche Mode - Memento Mori 6 The Beautiful South - Quench 7 Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark - Dazzle Ships 8 David Bowie - Heathen 9 The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses 10 Dexys Midnight Runners - Searching for the young soul rebels

I mentioned some on The Prog Corner's post. Here are some others I thought of since. CSN. The Band's Music from Big Pink. Rich Mullins' The World as Best as I Remember It, Volume 2. Crowded House's Temple of Low Men. Barclay James Harvest Live. Grateful Dead's Workingman's Dead. Neil Young's Harvest. Steely Dan's Pretzel Logic. The Flower Kings Look at You Now is a recent one.

I would have to put the soundtrack to Grease and Saturday Night Fever, Beatle's Abbey Road but mostly when I want to unwind and feel good I listen to a mix of songs

I like the concept of comfort albums. These would be mine: The Kinks - Village Green Preservation Society Blood, Sweat & Tears - Child Is Father to the Man Van Morrison - Moondance The Beatles - Revolver Paul Simon - Graceland Bruce Springsteen - Tunnel of Love Rilo Kiley - The Execution of All Things Brian Eno - Another Green World Joni Mitchell - Blue Derek and the Dominos - Layla Vampire Weekend - Modern Vampires in the City Neil Young - After the Gold Rush

You may also enjoy the first solo album by Can member Holger Czukay, Movies from 1979. Also the first Eurythmics album In The Garden from 1981 includes Jaki Liebezeit and Holger Czukay from Can and sounds a bit like a Can album too. They also appear in the music video to Never Gonna Cry Again by Eurythmics. I let myself become inspired and put on Song Of Seven by Jon Anderson. I have always enjoyed that album but it's not an album I listen to too much anymore. The only song I may skip is the first track, and I just did it again as I was listening to it, but the rest of the album is a nice listening experience for me too. Often when something bad happens it's to make room for something better to unfold that is not yet revealed. From my own experience through life several misfortunes has turned into blessings as time passes. I hope it will for you too. I don't usually remember too much of dreams I have, but I did dream about you a couple of nights ago. I wasn't planning on having you in my dreams, it just happened.

The Stones concert was excellent!

1. Walter> Wendy Carlos: Sonic Seasonings (world's 1st New Age/Spiritual album, 1972) 2. Grateful Dead: Workingman's Dead 3. Grateful Dead: American Beauty 4. Good Rats: Birth Comes To Us All 5.

Good Rats: Tasty 10. The Firesign Theatre: Don't Crush That Dwarf, Hand Me The Pliers (comedy) 11. The Larry Graves Big Band: Full Moon Over Roswell, July 1947 12. Robert Hunter: Tales of the Great Rum Runners 13. Smoke Rise: The Survival Of St. Joan (great progressive rock from 1971)

Alice In Chains have 2 really good acoustic albums that always relax me sap and jar of flies highly recommend

FYI Larry, Ruby Tuesday was not on their satanic majesties request. Keep the videos coming 👍

Gene Clark. No other gets better each listen

The album that I listen to when i'm desparate is always the self-titled album by "The Eighth Day" (Ron Dante's project).

My Top 10 Comfort albums (in no particular order): Traffic-John Barleycorn Must Die Kraftwerk_autobahn (mainly the title track full length version filling the entire side) Soft Machine Third Soft Machine Fourth Elton John- Goodbye Yellow Brick Road Badfinger- Wish You Were Here Fleetwood Mac-Bare Trees Blue Oyster Cult-Cultosaurus Erectus Brian Eno- Music for Airports Pink Floyd-Obscured By Clouda

Oh man....Gene Clark No Other is a frikkan stellar album, I've got a lot of his albums but this one is far above the others.

Nice idea. I tend to go to albums that take me to a good time in my life such as my childhood or teen years. These aren’t in order except number 1….. perhaps. That’s the Way It Is - Elvis P The Slider - T Rex Ziggy Stardust - Bowie Catch a Fire - Bob Marley October - U2 Morrison Hotel - The Doors Teaser & the Firecat - Cat S Velvet Underground & Nico Workers Playtime - Billy Bragg White Album - The Beatles

Already did, mine, great idea for a video! Some of mine included Blue Oyster Cult Fire of Unknown Orgin and Phil Collins Tarzan soundtrack

Yeah Scott could use some caffeine for sure! Bring some energy into his mellow pleas and prayers to care for King Chucky

The Alan Parsons Project: I Robot, The Beatles: Abbey Road, CLANN: Kin Fables, Genesis: ...And Then There Were Three…, Neil Young: Sleeps With Angels.

You should make a top 10 albums list for if you ever took acid

Love it. Anyone familiar with the 70's comp of Beatles' hits tht had a soda air brushed on the cover in red, with a fab4 matching suit art work? My pal next door had, never seen it since. BeeGees. Galaxie 500( not the phone!). Cramps. Mozart. Syd.fab f40¥®
