bonzoboy Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Great choices that you have there Surfpup,the Jayhawks are also a force to be reckoned with,I have their Tomorrow The Green Grass double CD,which I believe is their first recording(1994).Even though I don't like what is referred to as "new country" I really do like the Jayhawks.

jaxson50 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 1380147501[/url]' post='1429664']So many great ones I love... many been mentioned already.... Jimi Hendrix - Are You Experienced Beatles - Rubber Soul, Revolver, Abbey Road Deep Purple - Machine Head, Made in Japan Boston - Boston Rolling Stones - Exile on Main Street or Sticky Fingers Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon Zeppelin - Everything up through Physical Graffiti! So how about a perfect Alt. Country album? If you don't have it - get it And this one runs a close second in the same category... Not much Jazz mentioned yet (Good job on the Take 5 Demoon!) This one should probably be on any one's "If I were deserted on an island" list. Ditto! Gotta love the Jayhawks! May I submit for consideration Sargent Peppers.. Tommy Electric Lady Land After Bathing at Baxters And.....B itch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izzy Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Well, it would have to be one that had a massive impact on people, not just me. (Beatles were mentioned so I won't bother) Michael Jackson's Thriller sticks out. No, popular isn't always good, but this is Michael Jackson. This is not an album SO heavy or SO profound that it will go above the heads of the masses...however it commands the respects of great artists and musicians because it united the world. Literally from China to Africa to Mexico, children wearing a single glove...it was comforting to know we had a king . How many boys didn't pick up guitar because of the solo in Beat It? How many girls didn't dance in clubs to the PYT? Gangsters and pop fans, blacks and whites, didn't matter if you liked rap or metal or country...this album on some level touched your life. It may say a thing about my age to chose this album, but Michael must be mentioned. Respect to the man who could appreciate killer choreography and stupendous guitar chops.

Bender 4 Life Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 This really is impossible, but I'll throw in Quadrophenia, London Calling and Exile on Main Street. Of course, now I want to add Neil Young's Tonight's the Night, Dylan's Blonde on Blonde and either Alice Cooper's Love It to Death or Killer. I'll stop writing now before I add too many others. Yep, impossible. I have the "Love it to Death" origional.......what an album !! my favorite trac from it is..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2eMJ3xjtf0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Allen Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Actually - no. But even if it were, look at the rest of the list... Popular doesn't always equal good... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_albums I noticed that the vast majority of these 40 million plus sellers are at least 20 to 30 years old. Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVOL! Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 So how about a perfect Alt. Country album? If you don't have it - get it Now you're talking. This is my favorite album in that style. How can you not love Gary Louris? SG through a Fender Deluxe Amp with an seventies Ge Fuzz Face for leads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt. Tomorrow the Green Grass though came after Hollywood Town Hall and was their 4th album I think. It's a good record - but not as good as Hollywood. Good news - Marc Olsen has recently rejoined the band after a ten year break (he left right after Tomorrow...) With him back the new stuff is really great sounding - their vocal harmonies are stellar. This one is still my favorite tune. I heard it in the car and literally drove directly to the record store (remember those?) to buy the CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even in the day, there were very few acts that could consistently put out albums that were worthy of beginning to end play. I say not buying them like they used to is a good thing. We're no longer forced to buy contrived drivel designed to fill empty space "on the other side" But, to the main point, the paradigm has shifted making old measures N/A for modern times. And if anybody would care to write a "Multiquoting for Dummies" book, I'll buy it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfpup Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Jayhawks are cool. Rainy Day is the only JH album I have though and I wouldn't call it a favorite. Not a fan either - just okay.
