Re: Your favorite album
 

Jimmy Buffett ... Banana Wind. My all time favorite JB album. Some the best ballads he's done.

Re: Your favorite album
 

Great albums there. Surprised to see someone else into Yngwie. Most people have never heard of him.

For me:

Octavarium - Dream Theater. DT's my favorite band and they have number of albums that are in my top 10 but this one's at the top. I can listen to it over and over. The title track "Octavarium" is one of their epic 20+ min songs, taking you all over the map.

The Odyssey - Symphony X. Symp X follows in the mold of DT, but more straight forward progressive metal. I find it rather interesting that a band could take something like Greek Mythology and turn it into an album.

Deadwing - Porcupine Tree. PT has a number of other really good albums (In Absentia, Signify, Fear of a Blank Planet), but for me this is their go to album. They've been described as a modern day Pink Floyd. I can't say for sure myself as I haven't listened to a lot of Floyd.

Liquid Tension Experiment - Liquid Tension Experiment. A side project of some of the Dream Theater guys, this is a completely instrumental album with loads of jazz fusion influences. There's a song called "3 Minute Warning" that's over 20+ minutes and was recorded in one take. It's a complete improv jam.

Re: Your favorite album
 

Favorite metal album for me,has to MEGADETH(peace sells but whos buying)even though dave and the boys had one previous to this one(killing is my business&business is good).this album was more refined but yet raw,and gritty.and what better way to try and get back at METALLICA.never did like kirk hammet.but this is my opinoin.

Re: Your favorite album
 

JJ Grey & Mofro - Orange Blossoms

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7CUR2cozts

Some (read: all) of their older stuff is really good too.

Re: Your favorite album
 

Love that song. Thunderkiss is a good wake up song, too. :tu

Re: Your favorite album
 

Ted Nugent - Double Live Gonzo

Re: Your favorite album
 

Joe Jackson - BEAT CRAZY
The percussion on this record is epic, and you will NEVER hear a
better performance on bass than Graham Maby's. Mind-F#$%ing
The cover might be the best album art ever.

The Jim Caroll Band - CATHOLIC BOY
Jim died last year, but this record stands as a true testament
to the unique talent he had.

Neil Young - COMES A TIME
This is a great old Neil recording. Not much grunge on this one.

Greg Allman Band - LAID BACK, PLAYIN UP A STORM
Sweet albums from Gregg. Some of the coolest songs ever laid
down by an Allman.


Billy Joel - THE STRANGER

I could literally go on forever. You've seen my posts.
If there is one thing I know, it is music. I have been collecting
records since the mid-70's and like all music but country. Most
I am tired of, (60s-70s) so it's mostly 'new wave' for me now.
The first two are must owns.

Re: Your favorite album
 

Different albums for different reasons:

Ministry - Land of Rape and Honey (Stigmata played on the radio..really did it for me)

The Cramps - Bad music for Bad People (Lux Interior was probably my favorite front man..got the rare opportuity to see them..first time stage diving and crowd surfing)

Love and Rockets - (First date with my wife and first concert with her in 1989)

Fugazi - Repeater (saw them for free in a high school gym..no security..fantastic)

Beastie Boys - Pauls Boutique (saw them as well in a high school gymnasium..Henry Rollins opened for them)

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Mothers Milk (saw them at a very small venue before they were anyone..got to meet and talk to Flea)

Danzig - Lucifuge (saw them at a small venue when this album came out in 1990...fantastic)

PIL - Happy? (for those that don't know this was John Lydon's band he started after the Sex Pistols disbanded...saw them at a small venue in the early 90's)

A Tribe Called Quest- Peoples Instinctive Travels and Paths of Rhythm (use to love this album...saw them again at a small venue early 90's)

Bauhaus- all of them (Really love the band, Bella Lugosi's Dead is one of my favorite songs)

The Smiths - The Very Best Of (probably my all time favorite song "How soon is Now")

Bad Brains - I Against I (great album)

Lynyrd Skynyrd - (Nothin Fancy, one of my favorites)

Johnny Cash (live at San Quenton)

The Ramones - all of them

probably more but these had the most influence on me...

Re: Your favorite album
 

Moved and Seconded!

Re: Your favorite album
 

So moved, do I hear a second, and shall we add THE JAM and SQUEEZE and XTC?

Re: Your favorite album
 

Curtis Mayfield Live is an awesome album in the true sense. It's about the whole thing, not any particular song.

Re: Your favorite album
 

Excellent selections :tu

A couple more come to mind:

Mad Season - Above (Amazing vocals from Layne Staley)

Helmet - Meantime and Aftertaste (these just rock!)

Talking Heads - Remain in Light

Re: Your favorite album
 

The Les Claypool Flying Frog Brigade - Live Frogs Set 2 (Set 1 is also decent)

Re: Your favorite album
 

One is hard to do , James Taylor Mud Slime Slime was good last night!!!!!!

Re: Your favorite album
 

mud slime slim (correction)

Re: Your favorite album
 

Mud slime slim and the blue horizon

Re: Your favorite album
 

Has to be two albums, both jazz, Dave Brubeck Quartet Time Out, many experinments with time signatures, most notable song was probably Take Five; the other would be Miles Davis *****es Brew, straight avant guarde jazz. Honorable mentions would be most anything by Jon Luc Ponte or Michael Urbaniak, both jazz violin.

Re: Your favorite album
 

And if that album ain't enough to convince you, then listen to "Mountain Jam" off the Eat A Peach album from that same concert. Duane's solo right after the dual-drum break in the middle is the most transcendent guitar work you will ever hear - no freakin' joke.

Re: Your favorite album
 

I keep seeing Elton's "Mad Man" mentioned, but I much prefer his "Tumbleweed Connection" to any other album he has ever done. Just :2 , and worth every penny.

Re: Your favorite album
 

Don't get me wrong..."Tumbleweed Connection" is a better album in my opinion as well, but, I have more of an attachment to both "Mad Man" and "Goodbye, Yellow Brick Road." I was raised listening to a lot of EJ..."Blue Moves" and "Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy" are also favorites of mine..."Amoreena" is such a great track...

Re: Your favorite album
 

Well, it's good to know I'm not considered completely nutz in that, brother!


Oh, another essential album is Blind Faith (I've forgotten either the name of the group or the album's, but I can't remember which :D), especially the one with the "dirty" cover.

Re: Your favorite album
 

Would like to recommend a couple more favorites.
1)Return To The Tomb Of Guiliano Medidici by Restavrant.
"This Texas duo’s raging garage punk influenced swamp rock that guarantees a good night out. Banjos, guitars, and some extremely interesting percussion (oil drums, boxes, license plates & whatever else they can pull from the local dumpster!…) plus a heaping spoonful of hillbilly = GOOD TIMES. "
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swQd_thOdw8

2)Other Way Out/Other Way In by Sun Dial.
would be considered psychedelic rock.
This was something I stumbled onto awhile back and feel in love with.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMlF6_DxdSo

3)Unknown Pleasures, Closer and Substance (for "Love Will Tear Us Apart")by Joy Division.
Would fall into the post-punk category. Started around from 1976 to through 1980 with the death (suicide of the singer Ian Cutis).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PldpBJEn4vQ

Hard to mention Joy Division and not New Order.
4)International by New Order. New Order was a New Wave band that formed from the remaining members of Joy Division after Ian's death. The single Blue Monday is one of the top selling singles in the UK. Still enjoy putting on some New Order from time to time. Both bands were connected to one of the most bizarre record companies ever, Factory Records. If you liked either bands I would suggest the movie "24 Hour Party People".
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3duUzBbBmmc
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eH-Gz...eature=related

5) Dress for Excess and Flaunt It by Sigue Sigue Sputnik.
They're a New Wave band but also called cyberpunk (love that).
Great tunes with layered vocals, electronics, great samples synthesizer bass lines and more.

Re: Your favorite album
 

Never heard of Restavrant or Sun Dial. They are both very, very good. I an leaning more towards the Restavrant. Too bad they don't have a downloadable album that I can find on CD Baby or the rest. Looks like I'll be old-fashioned and get the CDs. Thanks for the links!

Re: Your favorite album
 

Almost as good as cake? :D

Re: Your favorite album
 

This thread has done wonders for me lately.

Getting some great music from Jazz to Hardcore to Rock and everything in between. Thank you all. I am having so much fun with this.

Oh and I can I be a huge Alice In Chains fan and never have heard of Mad Season???? What's wrong with me? LOL

Re: Your favorite album
 

Kicking this back up for some more action. :tu

So far I've become addicted to Mofro and the White Stripes. Lisa is totally digging the White Stripes, too. I was surprised to see they did the song on Napoleon Dynamite. I'd have never put that together.
Incredible duo, it's hard to believe all that talent comes out of a divorced husband and wife. It's a damned fine thing to see. :tu

I'll add these two nuggets...
Blue Orchid - The White Stripes
My Doorbell - The White Stripes
Those two videos are easily in my top ten videos of all time. I'm not sure who did them, but I'd love to see more of their work. The imagery in Blue Orchid is incredible, the whole video plays like a ton of black and white stills.
The Little Rascals theme in Doorbell is too cool.

Re: Your favorite album
 

Lou Reed--Metal Machine Music

Re: Your favorite album
 

Porcupine Tree - Fear of A Blank Planet

Funky progressive rock. Think new era Pink Floyd, though they won't ever be that popular.

Re: Your favorite album
 

Silversun pickups are a new favorite of mine.

Re: Your favorite album
 

Couple of favorites of mine Scott.

Never paid any attention to the White Stripes until I heard "My Doorbell" on a progressive radio station a couple years ago. I missed the lead-in so I had no idea who the artist was, but found out and bought "Get Behind Me Satan". Album blew me away, besides the 2 songs you mentioned, some other great ones: "Denial Twist", "As Ugly As I Seem", etc. Been a big WS fan ever since.

Re: Your favorite album
 

Seriously my all time favorite lp is
Bee Thousand by Guided By Voices. I probably listen to Robert Pollard and his many bands more than any other musician.

Re: Your favorite album
 

Besides the already mentioned Aqualung and Quadrophenia

Viva!.......Roxy Music
Red Headed Stranger ......Willie Nelson

Re: Your favorite album
 

Metallica was fantastic early on. I like anything Black Album and earlier.Their

First album "Kill 'Eem All" is fast and aggressive.
"Ride The Lightning" is also very good. Similar style as the first but more melodic
"Master of Puppets" is my favorite Metallica album. It has a little bit of everything they do well
"And Justice For All" has their best individual song "One" on it. As a whole another good album
"Metallica - Black Album" is the one that launched them into the mainstream. This album brought in many new fans without losing their most of their core fans.

I'll spare my comments on their newer stuff; they're not positive.




Aside from that I've gone to primarily a country music fan. Some of my favs:

Gary Allan "Tough All Over"
Josh Turner "Long Black Train"
Josh Turner "Your Man"
Johnny Cash - "At Folsom Prison"
Kenny Chesney - "No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems"
Toby Keith "Shock'n Y'All"
George Strait "50 Number Ones" - Which actually has 51 songs that hit #1 on the country charts

Not exactly country but I love their blues/latino blend. Good stuff:
Los Lonely Boys "Los Lonely Boys"
