Blimey this is a toughie.....
Amused to Death by Roger Waters,
First Light by Geoffrey Wellum
Quadrophenia or The Blues Brothers
I used to live in Brighton,and liked the Mod thing.
I have even been down the alley,oh er missus,where leslie Ash got it on with Phil Daniels.Go down North Street,turn right by Hanningtons,walk past where the taxis park,and it's on your right.There is a little "shrine" there.
We also skipped out of work to go up to Brighton Station when a lot of the cast came down for I think the 20th anniversary of the films release.
They all got taken on scooters down to the seafront.

Close To The Edge - Yes
Lightningbolt - Hyhemeyhosts Storm
Blade Runner (Editor's Cut) - Ridley Scott
Not an easy choice, so many close seconds...but these have been with me a long time and I 'Love' them, they never fail to lift my spirits and Inspire me.
I bought "Close to the Edge" on vinyl from a second hand record store in the mid 70's.
I loved the Roger Dean Niagra Falls at the end of the Universe gatefold artwork,and the caligraphy used on the lyrics.Loved the music too.It's an album that I always listen to all the way through because it flows so well.
Yes, it was a time when bands would mirror the music by the cover and vice versa, must admit it was a tough call on the One Album it could have any of 15 albums or so from that era...Alan Stivell's Renaissance of the Celtic Harp almost pipped CTTE.
I used to love the fold out album sleeves when we had vinyl - there was that whole thing of opening the cover and reading the lyrics as the music played, also have to agree about playing the 3 tracks: "Close To The Edge" " Side One. "And You And I" & "Siberian Khatru" Side Two. - I still play it at least once a fortnight...I still get Goose bumps now especially the opening with all the birds and the crescendo building up to the the music.
I have the Inner Sleeve of Lyrics (emerald green with black lyrics) as a framed poster, some say Anderson's lyric's are obscure and weird, but for me the lyrics of that Yes album in particular is pure poetry, for me their finest moment in recording history, also the defining album in all of Prog Rock.
These are Print Typed, but the original were in Roger Dean's own hand-writing and very styilsh...
Sigh...Those were the days...No Mortgage, No Wife & Kids...No Divorce...

Blue tail,tail fly,I sing along but I haven't got a clue what they mean,maybe they mean nothing and it is all about sound scapes.
But it is a beautiful,fully formed work of art,a symbiosis of image and sound.
I don't sound too much like a Patchouli Oil wielding Hippie do I?
Just for the record,I do not wear Patchouli Oil,and I am not a Hippie,(well maybe a little bit of one).

Film - Unforgiven (Clint Eastwood)
Book - Renegades by Shaun Hutson
Album - this was a really, really tough choice but probably Motley Crue by Motley Crue - it came out when i was just out of college trying to get my first job and I listened to it every day for months.
Some excellent choices by others like Appetite and OU812.

Not a particular fan of the group but always liked that album.
