Listography - My Top 5 Albums by Male Solo Artists

Ooh I love it when Listography goes all musical!  I have not joined in for a few weeks as some of the topics have not related to me in any way!  Now this weeks theme I thought would be a walk in the park for me, being a huge music lover and cd collector.  However, looking at my taste of music, it mainly consists of heavy metal, indie groups or pop groups!  My male solo artist section leaves a lot to be desired, mainly showing off best ofs and lame chart hits that I'm embarrassed to mention!
  However, I have managed to pick out my favourite albums by male solo artists even if I am clutching at straws towards the end!  Dont judge me, here we go:


1: 
Damien Rice - O:  A beautiful album that I adore playing although I definetely have to be in a depressing mood to hear it, otherwise it leaves you feeling depressed either way!


2: 
Bryan Adams - On a Day Like Today:  I have made it no secret on my blog that he is my guilty pleasure and this is my fave album by the man himself, perfect to listen to on a spring day!


3: 
David Gilmour - Live:  Oh dear god!  This album, all be it live, is amazing!  I get goosebumps from beginning to end from the Pink Floyd front man, I highly recommend it to anyone who is a fan of guitars!

4: 
Robbie Williams - Life Thru a Lens - His best work, this album takes me back to being a teenager and I really think it is well written even if Robbie was a little bitter in those days!

5: 
Bruce Springsteen - Working On a Dream: opening track Outlaw Pete sets the scene for this album, a great comeback from the man himself as he showcased this at Glastonbury three years ago and blew me away!

Phew, that was tough!  Now pop over to Kate Takes 5 to see what others have chosen xxx

    I love Bryan Adams too, though I only have the album 'the best of me' i might have to look into finding 'on a day like today'
    Great list!

    That Gilmour album is definitely one of the finest ever. I was lucky enough to see Pink Floyd play on the Division Bell tour but missed out on DG's solo tour. Good to see someone else struggling to hit 5 solo artists!

    Interesting list. I didn't even realise that Dave Gilmour went solo (isn't he a bit of an arse??!)

    Oh! I am in complete agreement about Damien Rice and 'O'. Great goosebumps and a towering album. Have you seen him live? Very humorous and self effacing banter, completely unexpected and absolutely adorable.

    Wow wow wow, never thought I'd find another Bryan fan! Can't believe I've not got that album either - in fact it's highlighted the fact there are a couple more I need to get, o thanks!
