Re: Your favorite album
 

OK, I'm gonna toss Derek and the Dominoes "Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs" into this mix, with the proviso understood that the title track is perhaps the most over-rated (and certainly the most over-played) one on the entire double-album set. IMHO. "Key To The Highway" is far and away the best track of them all, with the guitar duel between Clapton and Duane being one of the essentials of any rock collection. Plus, songs like "Bell-Bottom Blues", "Tell The Truth", "Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out" and "Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad" are all great.

Re: Your favorite album
 

The fact that someone has heard of Amon Amarth (let alone named one of their albums as a fave) just makes you that much cooler in my book. I saw them live when they came through town earlier this year (on my birthday in fact). It was an amazing show, they played a double set :banger

Re: Your favorite album
 

I have The Allman Brothers Eat a Peach Deluxe Edition, that has 2 discs. The second disc is the live concert, from the last time they played at the Fillmore East. I likey very much.:noon

Re: Your favorite album
 

The Allman Brothers mentions lead me to think about another great one. Little Feat - Waiting for Columbus.

Re: Your favorite album
 

"Blood on the Tracks" and "Desire"...Dylan at his best....

Re: Your favorite album
 

To clarify, a few points you may not know:

First, it was the last time anybody played at the Fillmore East, as they were the closing act. They did it right, and jammed until dawn, though Gregg later claimed they were so lost in the music they didn't realize this until somebody popped the doors open and the rising sun streamed in. Second, that 34-minute Mountain Jam, based upon the Donovan song from 1967, actually begins on the Live At Fillmore East album. The 4th side of that double album was a 23-minute jam of their signature Whipping Post. At the end, as the crowd quiets down, Duane begins noodling out out those first few sweet notes which open the longer jam that follows - "Duh, uupi-doop doop dah uup uup, duh-uup doop doop doo-da uup upp." Then the album fades to silence.

We loyal Allman fans, in mourning of Duane's tragic death, had to wait over a year to find out what that was.

Re: Your favorite album
 

Also wasn't the fillmore album a combination of two show?

Re: Your favorite album
 

In more ways than one, truth be told. Not only were there shows on Friday March 12th and Saturday March 13th 1971 (not counting the next-dawn slopover :D ), but even some of the cuts on the album were amalgams of different performances from those sets. To quote Wikipoopia:

"For example, the first seven minutes of "You Don't Love Me" is from the first show on March 13 and the rest (Starting at Duane's solo without the band) is from the second show on March 12."

Re: Your favorite album
 

Ok I'll play, I also have a HUGE collection of music, I have OVER 3,000 cd's not including what's on my computer, congrats to OP for having over 100gbs of music, that is awesome.

Some of my favorites in no particular order:

1. Orange Goblin - Coup De Grace (find this album!)
2. Beastie Boys - Check Your Head (this was the ablum that put them way ahead of the hiphop/rap genre)
3. Guns N Roses - Appetite For Destruction (not a bad song on this album from front to back)
4. Foo Fighters - s/t (again not a bad song on here)
5. Kyuss - Welcome To Sky Valley (massive album)
6. Fu Manchu - Go For It Live! (2 cd of live badassedness!!)

*edit* forgot a big one

7. AC/DC - Back In Black (a lot of people would say a Bon album, but this one is the 1st one after Bion died and once again not a bad song.....I love Bon too, so don't get me wrong, but this album can never go wrong no matter the setting)

Enjoy :banger

Re: Your favorite album
 

Looking back through this thread I forgot GnR, AC/DC, STP, Pantera, and The Eagles.

This thread is reminding me of all the music I have and haven't listened to in a good bit.

Re: Your favorite album
 

This is why I love these kind of threads, not only do I find people with similar tastes, but it also reminds me of the good stuff I have.

dig your avatar Bill :banger

Re: Your favorite album
 

Wow! Can't believe I missed this thread. Týr, I'm sure you have a good idea of my selections so these should come as no surprise. Limited to 10.

In no particular order except for the first(all time favorite):
Danzig - Danzig
Samhain - November-Coming-Fire
Misfits - Earth A.D./Wolfs Blood
SLAYER!!! - Decade of Aggression Live Set
Pantera - Far Beyond Driven
Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath
Crowbar - Crowbar
AiC - Dirt

Re: Your favorite album
 

The new album from Dave Alvin "Eleven Eleven" is fantastic. It's about to hit my top ten. Alvin is one of the best songwriters today and is grossly underappreciated.


MCS

Re: Your favorite album
 

Van Halen 1 – Can you hear the car horn when the needle drops on side 1?
Bowie – Scary Monsters. I can listen to this first song to last over and over again. Pete Townsend did a guest spot.
Soundgarden – Bad Motorfinger. Heavy like a sledge hammer on hot tar
Mike Patton – Mondo Cane. If you like faith no more and want to hear what Mike has been up to buy it. Most of the songs are in Italian.
Nirvana - In utero.
Guns and Roses - chinese democracy - call me crazy but, I was one of the few who thought is was almost worth the wait.

So many more I could go on but I think that I will stick with those as my full album (cd) picks. Elvis, Zep, Willie, Kanye, Ice Cube, Johnny Cash, Def Tones, U2, Foos and so many more from my younger days working in a record store to what I like today.

Great thread thanks. I'm going to hit submit now so I don't keep adding to my list.:)

Re: Your favorite album
 

OMG Yes SOUNDGARDEN, totally forgot about this amazing album, good call!:chr

Re: Your favorite album
 

I've always liked Tom petty - Wildflowers.

Re: Your favorite album
 

Have The Black Keys been mentioned yet? Blues rock at it's best, as only two pasty guys from Akron could do it. Rubber Factory, Their debut record, is arguably their best, and probably one of my favorite albums, period.

Just Couldn't Tie Me Down- From "Rubber Factory"


Keep Your Hands Off her- From "Chulahoma"

Goodbye Babylon- from "Magic Potion"

So He Won't Break- From "Attack and Release"

Tighten up- From "Brothers"

Re: Your favorite album
 

I love this thread, and my music taste is really all over the place but, just scrolled through the whole thread, and noticed a few glaring ommisions:

Radiohead - OK Computer. Easily one of the most different albums of the last 20 years. For all you Pink Floyd fans, its def worth a listen.

Pearl Jam - Ten. I've seen all of the Seattle bands listed, but not PJ. They are the longest lasting, and for good reason, great music, great shows, and just all around one of the coolest bands.

Alice in Chains - MTV Unplugged. If you love AiC, this is a MUST own.

Sparta - Wiretap Scars. Sadly these guys broke up, but this is by far their best effort, check it out if you dig hard yet melodic tunes.

Death Cab for Cutie - Codes and Keys. Latest work, pretty good listen, I've had a hard time putting it down.

Dave Matthews Band - Dave & Tim live at Reynolds College - amazing 2 disc set. The version of One Sweet World, is by far my favorite of all Dave's live stuff.

Verve Pipe - Villians - very little known band, with exception of their one hit, The Freshman. Rest of this album is amazing, and most def worth a listen.

I could go on for hours and hours, but I think I'll put some new music on my iPod.

Re: Your favorite album
 

PJ - Ten is one that i am kicking myself for forgetting!

Chris's Radiohead and AIC unplugged mentions are also great!

One of my favorite DMB albums is the live at central park 3 disk set.
