What's your most middle class album?

[killer b]

St. Germain - Boulevard

Oh yeah. Great album mind.

 

[Firky]

Oh yeah. Great album mind.

Which one?

Need to mention Dark Side of the Moon and every Radiohead album.

Oasis is working class...

 

[killer b]

Which one?.

Boulevard.

 

[TruXta]

Duh! Van Der Graaf Generator.

We're not all 55 you know.

 

[xenon]

I still seem to have the Cold Play album, Rush of Blood to the Head. Someone a lon gtime ago, thought I liked them.

Otherwise something by Goldfrap?

 

[Tankus]

 

[TruXta]

.

Middle-CLASS, not middle-AGED veering on retirement.

 

[Fez909]

Of mine I'd say Under the Munka Moon by Alice Russell or the first Nouvelle Vague album.

 

[Firky]

Boulevard.

Was a toss between that and Kruder and Dorfmiester.

 

[mojo pixy]

Cheesy Crisps, this far and nobody's mentioned the most dinnerpartiest record ever...

 

[Kanda]

I'm not talking about the socio-economic class of the musicians, but the milieu of the music. Think: "what can I imagine being played while a bank manager and friends eat fondue around the coffee table?"

To be fair, that's probably Roni Size... and a gramme of coke.

 

[Kanda]

Zero 7.
Kings of Leon.
Coldplay.
U2.
Mumford and Sons.
Keane.
Jay Z.

I only own Jay Z albums, but the point still stands.

No chance.

 

[imposs1904]

A couple of Nick Drake cds.

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

"what can I imagine being played while a bank manager and friends eat fondue around the coffee table?"

Here, it would be Inner Circle; but the bankers would be blazing joints and doing lines.

 

[stuff_it]

Doggystyle?

 

[Ax^]

portugese breakfast?

 

[Mrs Magpie]

Flanders & Swann. I think the only ones I've heard of in the poll are Astral Weeks & Fleetwood Mac but I've never owned either.

 

[William of Walworth]

We have a pretty high proportion of albums mentioned so far. My caring about that levels? Not that high cos some of them still stand out as pretty good

We also own lots of skanky tiny-festival related dodgy old albums too. The middle class ones tend to be more professionally produced

 

[chilango]

All my "world music".

 

[Lemon Eddy]

Cheesy Crisps, this far and nobody's mentioned the most dinnerpartiest record ever...

I see your Dummy, and raise you...

 

[albionism]

Wot, no Dido?

 

[Lemon Eddy]

Oasis is working class...

Chortle. You'll be too young to have gone to Knebworth or Loch Lomond then. Let's put it this way, how many working class bands would have rolled out Kula Shaker as a support act?

 

[Lemon Eddy]

Wot, no Dido?

I don't actually think anyone in the history of the world has played a Dido album. I reckon it's some sort of illuminati hoax. Let me ask you this: have you ever seen a dido album in real life?

 

[seeformiles]

The most middle class person I know has minimalist decor, lots of expensive "ironic" (and uncomfortable) 70s furniture and always has some really bland alt-folk playing very softly in the background.

There is a Dido album on our house but it belongs to Mrs SFM and she regrets buying it.

I do have an extensive collection of 70s prog - will that do?

Don't worry, I only started the thread because I kept seeing How Middle Class is your working week? and How middle class is your Sunday? bumping up against What's Your Favourite Beatles Album? in New Threads. I agree with you: the Flanders and Swann is excellent.

Btw, skanky tiny-festival related dodgy old albums are very middle class.

 

[Sweet FA]

Wot, no Dido?

It was Brother In Arms for a long time wasn't it? Then Sade or Dido or Morcheeba or Portishead. Fucking Travis or Keane. Or fucking Cuntford & Sons.

I think if you look in a mirror and say it again, she appears.

 

[Idaho]

None of this thread makes any sense. Is it albums we think are rubbish? Pretentious? Generic?

 

[Knotted]

SPK - Zamia Lehmani

Brian Eno - Music for Airports

Vivaldi - Four Seasons

Various bits of MOR bebop odds and ends I've accumulated over the years - Charlie Parker, Horace Silver etc. & Blue Trane by John Coltrane.

If I owned any Moby then that.

 

[sim667]

Nevermind by nirvana

it fuels my middle class rage at my first world problems.

 

[braindancer]

How about Moon Safari by Air?

Even my Dad bought it....
