Did you ever listen to the album Ram by Paul & Linda McCartney?


Did you ever listen to the album Ram by Paul & Linda McCartney? Did it touch you in a special way like no other album?
Did it touch you? Please show me where it touched you. Okay. Take this doll. I want you to show me on the doll where that album touched you, okay?

I've heard and it did not touch me like no other. Many many other albums touched me in more profound ways, but it's okay.

@wstcstrob Sometimes it's taste. Sometimes it's how young you were when you discovered the album. OR if it was the first album you heard by the artist.
I find that albums we hear when we're younger, or albums that we first know by an artist, tend to impact us more, in my opinion.

@ClockworkMustache I would say you are right about when we first hear music. I grew up with music, have attended over 300 concerts. I still go to concerts to this day. That album I hear in my early 20's, it did not move me at all.
I still have it somewhere. I liked it and songs like “Uncle Albert” and “Too Many People”.

George Harrison's "All Things Must Pass" is my favorite of any post Beatles solo project. George was just sitting on a mountain of material at that point, though.

@SW-User All Things Must Pass is a very beautiful album.

I'd Have You Anytime, Wah-Wah. Art of Dying. Ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp (Let It Roll) and It's Johnny's Birthday come to mind!

It's a perfect record, in my opinion, and somehow, Phil Spector managed to help produce it without washing it out in reverb and layering like a lot of his other productions. He really let the performance stand on its own, which I'm guessing was Harrison's input into the production process.

It's also a hard record to find in decent condition, because the box usually got smashed somewhere along the way. The Concert for Bangladesh record was packaged the same way, too. I finally tracked down good copies of both a few years ago.
