Goldenone Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Simple, no rules just name the Top Ten Artists or Albums that have been the biggest influence in your life, playing or just the ones you like most. They don't even need to be in a specific order. Mine aren't, that would be to difficult. It's fun to think back on all the music you've listened to and your list my help jar the memory of something another member may have forgotten, like me. I. Tower of Power / East Bay Grease 2. Rod Stewart / Every Picture Tells a Story 3. Stevie Ray Vaughan / Everything I've every heard! 4. James Brown 5. The Doobie Brothers 6. Eric Clapton / Every Band he's played in. 7. Joe Cocker 8. Little Milton 9. Delbert McClinton 10. And when I have my shoe off and a blended drink in my hand Jimmy Buffet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will confess, as a Florida boy, living in a beach town with a singer-songwriter side to my musical personality, that I too am a fan - especially the first four or five albums - great stuff!

milod Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Given that we still had some 78 albums when I was being influenced... and through high school 33s were just getting into style more than 45s... Sheesh, I started to realize that in ways some of us ain't talkin' the same language. But... The radio actually influenced me more than recorded music. Standards in the morning over breakfast and then anything I could get on my big old multi-band tube type console radio. This only counts up to 1961... rock up into half of that year, I first heard John Lee Hooker on the radio... some classical. Country in the local restaurant juke boxes and rock on the ice cream parlor's juke box... A couple swing/jazz albums that our house didn't really have a record player to play... Ian and Sylvia, a couple albums early in college circa 1963... I never did buy much recorded stuff. Even in college if I was awake probably the radio or off somewhere playing - mostly the latter. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie brown Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 My Top 10, would (probably) be: The Beatles...and everyone who, initially, influenced them...(Early Elvis, Carl Perkins, Buddy Holly, Roy Orbison, Chuck Berry, etc.) The Byrds Buffalo Springfield BB King, Albert King, Freddy King Eric Clapton Jeff Beck Jimi Hendrix Ritchie Blackmore...his phrasing, was like no one else's, early on. But, there are a LOT more....Stones, Yardbirds, (Original) Animals, on and on... CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVOL! Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I just numbered them to be cute. 1. The Velvet Underground - The VU and Nico 2. My Bloody Valentine - Loveless 3. Sonic Youth - Sister 4. Brian Jonestown Massacre - Tepid Peppermint Wonderland 5. The Band - The Band 6. T Rex - (it's a tie) Electric Warrior & Slider 7. Neil Young - Live Rust 8. The Rolling Stones - Their Satanic Majesties Request 9. Bob Dylan - (another tie) Highway 61 Revisited or Live 1966 "The Royal Albert Hall Concert" The Bootleg Series Vol. 4 10. Wilco - Kicking Television live. Nels Cline always takes me away to magical places. Man, there are so many more. You can put SM & the Jicks in there along with Mission of Burma, Radiohead, the White Stripes, and Guided By Voices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky4 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Top 10 unexpectedly good albums by relatively unknown (when they were released) artists Cheap Trick - Cheap Trick Rotting Pinata - Sponge I Am An Elastic Firecracker - Tripping Daisy Relationship Of Command - At The Drive In Question The Answers - The Mighty Mighty Bosstones Last Splash - The Breeders Sparkle And Fade - Everclear Head To The Ground - Expanding Man Saturation - Urge Overkill Golden Ocean - 50 Foot Wave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVOL! Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Last Splash - The Breeders I would argue that this album was not unknown. Regardless, it is a very tasty album loaded with tasty guitar riffs. One Divine Hammer comes to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
