I still refer to CD's as albums, even though I never called a tape an album. Semantics I'll just list some favorite groups, since I have a hard time either remembering the title of an album or can't decide. It's the music that matters to me anyways. Black Sabbath: any and all Sabbath Ozzie Dio Pink Floyd Deep Purple Metallica Lynyrd Skynyrd Neil Young Some early AC/DC ZZ Top Judas Priest Johnny Lang Stevie Ray BB King Louie Armstrong Squirrel Nut Zippers Some Frank or rat pack. "hey there pally"p Blue Spot Lobotomy (A friend's local band) I know I will think of more later. But that should hold me for a while on the island. Russ' post below just reminded me. How could I forget Led Zepplin??? ou: :spank:
I love this. Many times I've made the "Top ten" list on the island thing. It does seem to change over time... One thing about great hits albums. Just a $ maker for the record company. Just when did LZ, Stevie Ray or Pink Floyd have any "hits?" They didn't.... OK, here goes, no order of course. Led Zep- Physical Graffiti ELP- Works The Who- Quadrophenia Pink Floyd- Meddle Blue Oyster Cult- Cultosaurus Black Sabbath - Sabbath Bloody Sabbath RUSH- All the World's A Stage Hendrix- Electric Ladyland Jeff Beck - Beckology Steve Morse- The Introduction I think the trick here is to get as many double length albums as possible for more music to listen to. I didn't even list MSG, Kiss, VH or Iron Maiden.....As you can see, I'm sort of stuck in that 60's and 70's period. I just can't enjoy today's music due to the lack of any virtuoso players in the 20 to 25 age group. And that's a topic for another time!!!!! Russ Waters
Boston - First album ELP - Tarkus Pink Floyd - Aminals Peter Gabriel - Live Rippingtons - Live in L.A. Jimmy Smith - Organ Grinder Chicago - Best of.... Tangerine Dream - Tournado Jimmy Smith - The Sermon Mozart - 4 horn Concerti Obviously, my musc tastes are a bit eclectic.....but so is my Taste in Carso No: :grin:
Russ I forgot to get you the list of Boots, sorry my life has been insane this last 6 months. I will make a list and get it to you. Now that I look at my post I fogot to add Zep to the list. Ten will not do, must have 20 at least. I mean if the Howell's had that many clothes for a three hour tour then I should have my entire CD collection too. Just remind Gilligan to stay away from my stereo.
i always travel lite... all of rolloing stone and bad company....and maybe some moody blues...and doors:bglasses:
WOW!:eek2: I can't believe somebody else on this planet (besides the few people I turned on to this album) has ever heard of it! The live version of Why's Love Got To Be So Sad? is probably the single best live jam on record. Clapton just lets go on the 2 leads he lays down!
I'm 42. Thanks to the Rolling Stones live at JFK Stadium in Philly in 1982 I have suffered permanent ear damage in my left ear. I was only a couple hundred feet in front of the left speaker tower, and every time Keith Richards ripped into a guitar lead the pain was REAL! But I just turn it up louder now and I can still hear fine. The ear doctor laughed when he remarked that I had some scarring in my left ear and I told him I knew exactly when it happened...
Yardley great minds think alike!!!!! I like Let it Rain, 19 minutes with a ten minute drum solo:jd: That whole album Rocks!!!!!! I also like EC's Rainbow concert especially the CD version with the extra tracks
I would include Derek and the Dominos on any great album list. The live version doesn't have Duane Allman on guitar like the studio LP but is very good. How about the aftermath of this band. 2 dead, one in an asylum, and the other jailed for trying to murder his mother. Only EC escaped but became a heroin addict over Duane's untimely end just a year after the LP was made. I agree. I'm taking all 750 LP/CD's I have with me as well. Mary Ann can cue them for me. Russ
Yeah, as a drummer, Jim Gordon is one of my all-time faves. And yeah, the live let it rain is too awesome... The Layla sessions remaster is excellent as well.
