carol King was actually an excellent songwriter. has anyone got the album Tapestry?

Yes, it's one of my favourite albums. To be pedantic she IS an excellent songwriter. She wrote 'The Reason' for Celine Dion.

 I had to read your post several times before I could see why you were being pedantic! Then I noticed my past-tense reference to the great Carol King. Of course, she is still with us and still writing. It's just that, with Tapestry having been released 30-plus years ago, she seems to belong to my past. I love the song It's Too Late from that album.

Tapestry was one of those albums everybody had back then.  It seems to have long-since disappeared from my collection though.

That was always my favourite, but now I think I'm more of a 'So Far Away' fan. Gloria Estefan covered 'It's Too Late' on a covers album about ten years ago and she said she wore out three copies of 'Tapestry' as a teenager.

I think there are a handful of albums from that era that everyone had:


The Best of Bread - Bread


Songs in the (something? can't remember!!) of Life - Stevie Wonder


Tapestry - Carol King


Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd

OK let's confess to albums in our collection that we are a bit embarrassed about. I have Gilbert O'Sullivans Greatest Hits and if you ignore embarrassments like Get Down and Claire there are some really good songs including Nothing Rhymed and We Will.

I have The Plan by The Osmonds (which is actually excellent).  I probably have more embarrassing singles than albums.

Post by: smurfboy on May 05, 2006, 01:48:24 am

Oh I'm the same GC. I rarely like embarrassing artists enough to buy an entire album, but there's often the odd embarrassing song I'll like. I'll confess to owning Stutter Rap and The Ketchup Song.

I like the ketchup one too  I bought all the Now albums even in mp3 format at eBay and it's on that so I didn't actually buy it though... I have a feeling stutter rap is on there too


My most embarrassing album has to be Right Said Fred. I remember buying it for the bargain price of £9.99 at Rival Records.

Iused to like Right Said Fred. I must have only been about 8 when they can out. Do you remember the Fruitella advert which used the i'm too sexy theme.

I remember someone bought me the "I'm too sexy" single (on vinyl) for my 15th birthday and we played it at my party over and over

Stutter Rap is on Now 11. Er, I've heard.

I have made a spreadsheet of all the Now listings, and all the British number ones  it saves a lot of searching through mp3s!

The most embarrassing single I have is Dancing Queen. It is the only Abba record I bought.

Ah, because it was released in the summer of '76 by any chance?
