As promised,I am now starting the sequel to the popular no.1 singles thread. I will listen to one song from each album and write some thoughts. In some cases,I may listen to the whole album. I have never heard a Beatles LP so I look forward to hearing their albums all the way through for the first time.

If you have any of these albums in your collection,please let us know what your favourite track is and any anecdotes you may have.

The album chart starts in 1956..........
Pause Switch to Standard View I am going to listen to every UK no.1...
