Still Hendrix -
I saw him live with the Experience at the old RI Auditorium in 1968 - the place caught on fire while he was playing and there was a stampede for the doors - I ran up to the emptied out front row (Jimi kept playing) and stood on a chair 15 feet away from him watching him play "Purple Haze" while firemen were running for the burning chairs in the back - 
Saw Clapton and Cream there a month later -
Yeah, I was at Woodstock, too - the first one. |
"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.

Ah, the old barn at 1111 North Main St. Everytime I went to a Reds game, I thought the place was on fire too. By the third period you couldn't see the ice from the cheap seats due to all the smoke. |

What a great idea for a thread. I had a ball going through my collection and reminiscing. As others have said, impossible to pick one. In fact, I had a hard time narrowing it down to ten - so I added an honorable mention section. Here they are, in rough chronological order, and a little on why:
1. Phil Ochs - "Pleasures of the Harbor". Probably many have not even heard of him. He was a protest singer in the 60's ( a la Dylan), but switched gears for this album. The title cut is one of the most beatiful ballads ever recorded.
2. Neil Young - "Harvest". Stellar from first to last cut. The culmination of three tremendous albums in a row. "Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere" and "After the Gold Rush" could easily have made this list as well.
3. Steely Dan - "Can't Buy A Thrill". The first album that I ever bought. Steely Dan was huge for me in college.
4. Pink Floyd - "Dark Side of the Moon" What more could I add that hasn't already been said. Close the door, switch on the black light, turn on the stereo and light up. Aahh - UMass in the 70's.
5. YES - "Yessongs" A live album that doubles as a greatest hits. This is sort of cheating because it is a three disc set. Another great album for the dorm room - are you detecting a pattern here?
6. Joni Mitchell - "Court and Spark" Required reading for any music collection.
7. Springsteen - "Born to Run". You were considered hip if you were into Springsteen before this album. Afterwards he belonged to everybody. This LP put him on the cover of Time & Newsweek. And the rest is history.
8. Little Feat - "Waiting for Columbus". Another live album that serves as a greatest hits at the time. The band at its peak before the death of Lowell George. Never the same since.
9. The Smiths - "The Smiths". Hard to pick one out of so many great albums. This is their debut. Let the mopeing begin!
10. U2 - "Joshua Tree" Already had a number of good albums under their belt, this one brought them to a new level.
Honorable Mention:
Beatles - almost any album, espercially the early ones.
Doors - "Morrison Hotel". "I woke up this morning and I got myself a beer".
Led Zepplin - "Led Zepplin II"
Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road"
Jethro Tull - "Thick as a Brick".
Emerson, Lake & Palmer - "Brain Salad Surgery"
R.E.M. - "Murmur".
Allman Brothers - "Eat A Peach".
Thin Lizzy - "Jailbreak"
Traffic - "Low Spark of High Heeled Boys"
Stevie Wonder - "Songs in the Key of Life"
Waterboys - "Fisherman's Blues".
Woodstock - Original Soundtrack (from the 60's, not the recent stuff)
And just so you don't think I am an old fart:
Pete Yorn - "Musicforthemorningafter"
Bush - "Sixteen Stone"
Cavedogs - "Joyrides for Shut-Ins"
The Strokes - "Is This It?"
Please don't ask me to come up with a favorite single. I think my head would explode!

Wow! Lots of picks for Floyd's Animals. Thought most people didn't even know that one. One of my favorites.
Lots of great choices!

If you really want to have some fun, find your best surround sound system, turn off the lights and play the digitally remastered version of Dark Side of the Moon - awesome! You will hear stuff that you can't here in the regular version... |
