Forum MVP found Posted December 30, 2018 Forum MVP Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 Apologies in advance, I could really do this forever and I already have some glaring omissions in mind but I capped myself at 25. I did not include any Grateful Dead or live albums of any sort and I limited myself to one album per band. So even though I chose DSOTM, Wish You Were Here is also incredibly high up. There are many other cases like that. And yes, I do like The Beatles. White Album is tops for me. Bob Dylan - Time Out Of Mind Ween - Quebec Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon Miles Davis - Kind Of Blue Tom Waits - Mule Variations Traveling Wilbury's - Volume One Paul Simon - Graceland Chick Corea - Return to Forever Sleep - Dopesmoker Prince - Purple Rain Nas - Illmatic Harry Nilsson - Nilsson Schmilsson David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust Warren Zevon - Life'll Kill Ya Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath Curtis Mayfield - Superfly Frank Sinatra - In The Wee Small Hours Herbie Hancock - Head Hunters Spirit - Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus Wolf Parade - Apologies To The Queen Mary Madvillain - Madvillainy Dr. Dre - 2002 Steely Dan - Aja Talking Heads - Remain In Light Parliament - Mothership Connection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP PoetryGirl Posted April 8, 2019 Forum MVP Report Share Posted April 8, 2019 My grandparents always were listening to the Statler Bros on 8track; their sounds floated through the house intermingled with the smells of butter beans, fried fatback, homemade biscuits and garden fresh sliced tomatoes and cucumbers. I got so tickled over hearing “Big Iron” over SXM, realizing how similar the song sounds to the Statler Bros tunes. Never in my wildest! But a cowboy song is a cowboy song, right?

franknkeene Posted April 8, 2019 Report Share Posted April 8, 2019 For me the GD are a stand alone topic. My list.... 15. The Doors - Soft Parade 14. The Who - Tommy 13. Dave Brubeck - Take Five 12. Peter Gabriel - Plays Live. Wikipedia: "This album was originally released as a double album and longplay cassette in 1983, with sixteen songs" 11. Michael Hedges - Watching My Life Go By (love the lyrics and harmonics. He was a mystic in concert (SUNY New Paltz, Carnegie Hall, and Tarrytown NY Theatre...RIP). 10. Yes. Going for the One (Awaken is my favorite song of all time!) 9. Pat Matheny Group - American Garage 8. Steely Dan - Goucho 7. Donald Fagen - The Nightlfly 6. Pat Matheny - New Chautauqua 5. Jethro Tull - Bursting Out (Live. This tour showcased Songs From the Wood album) 4. Return to Forever - Romantic Warrior (Chick Corea, Al Di Meola, Stanley Clarke, Lenny White) 5. Yes - Tormato (I love this album. The 'YES In the Round' tour was my favorite tour of my life) 2. Joni Mitchell - Shadow & Light (Joni Jazz with Pat Metheny, Jaco Pastorius Lyle Mays, Michael Brecker, Don Alias) And the #1 album, drum roll.... 1. Yes. Close to the Edge !! Honorable Mentions -Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath (NEW to me after reading Ozzy's book whilst in in the UK, "I am Ozzy" Great read!). Speaking politics, I'm a "stayer"....I say "No" to Brexit. -Peter Gabriel Live in Athens 1987 (Not an album, rather a DVD of concert) -Hamilton Soundtrack Interesting how Soft Parade (#15) and Tormato (#5) are unpopular albums among the fans. I love those albums. Fun thread! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the privilege of seeing him perform twice in college......another life cut short too soon Yeah. From the Sub at SUNY New Paltz to Carnegie Hall a very short time later - a month at most. Leo Kotkie opened and joined Hedges on stage at Carnegie. Hedges put an incense stick on the head of his guitar and lit it saying the Tarrytown crowd was too stiff. The fragrance filled the entire theater. I cried when I heard the news of Jaco Pastorius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw Jaco Pastorius perform in a small jazz club in Greenwich Village just after Christmas of '82 (?)...….Kenwood Dennard on drums.....smokin'! A couple of years later he played at Vanderbilt U. when I was in college......he layered several bass parts together in a loop to perform Purple Haze.....cosmic shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
