I have a friend. She’s very nice. She’s also quite smart, while being particularly stupid in that way that many of us (including myself) are.
Several days ago now, we were talking about a concert we are going to see in November, and she mentioned that she had bought one of their CDs in preparation for it. When asked which one it was, she replied “the orange one”.
Under normal circumstances, this would just be passed off as a forgetful moment, and forgotten in a week. But sometimes, things just hang around. And this has been one of them. Every CD we’ve talked about (there are a group of us involved in these discussions) has become either “orange” or “not orange”. No names.
Unfortunately, the vast majority of the CDs have been “not orange”, and I would like to change that. So I ask for your help. I would like to present her a list of choices for new listening, the only thing that I ask is that the CD/Vinyl/Cassette be mostly orange in colour.
That last one is touch and go, it’s not really all that Orange. But I leave it here as a sort of base level.
For the record, the Muse CD was the one that she bought.
So if you fine people of the internet could help me out with names of albums (links are not required, but appreciated), I would be eternally* grateful.
This was bugging me, because I thought I remembered some orange covers, and of course when I checked they weren’t orange at all! (Except for R.E.M. - Green which was already mentioned.) So I had to browse through my CDs. My wife says I’m colorblind so many of these may be a loose interpretation of the word orange. And many look slightly different on my computer screen than they did in real life.
Most of the cover of the Original Cast Recording of Avenue Q is orange. TheWikipedia page has a picture of the playbill on it- the album cover is that, minus the “Playbill Golden Theatre” bit at the top and the white border. I would find a picture of the album, except that I really should have gone to bed 10 minutes ago.
Split Enz Time and Tide has a nice orange sunset scene.

The Acker Bilk was from my parent’s collection, the rest are all rather good.
