What would be good album to get?!

Poco Loco

Hi,
Hope this is in the right forum!
I have started seeing a guy and his birthday is coming up. It's only early days but would like to get him something small like a cd, just to be nice. Stuff I've heard him listen to is Bob Dylan, the Doves, Pink Floyd and Oasis. Any ideas on a good album to get him?! I don't want to get him any albums by those as he probably already has them but I guess I just wonder - what other artist would someone who likes those artists also like?

This might be a good idea....if he likes his music. Not sure where you're based but I'm sure you can get these elsewhere apart from Dublin.

Go to a local record store and pick up a second-hand copy of one of his favourite albums on vinyl. If you're not sure which play it safe and look for a Bob Dylan.

Then pop down to urban outfitters and get a LP picture frame (€20) and frame the copy. They look brilliant on a wall. I'm in the process of framing (and backing up) all my favourite vinyl.

Make sure the record you buy is second hand as they just look better (in my opinion).

Here's a few of mine one my wall:

You should do it all for about €35 depending on what album you pick.

That's a great idea. I was thinking about doing something like that myself.

OP If you're doing this, make sure it's an album you know he likes.

Hey,
Thanks for that, esp the bit about framing, that's a really good idea!
Cheers.
