Neomet Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Beethoven Symphony Number 9 in D Minor Makes the hair on my arms stand on end every single time I hear it. Rumors Fleetwood Mac. I'll probably get a couple rocks tossed at me on for that one. Zipless Vanessa Daou I gave this to Ms. Neomet when we were just friends. Shortly after she decided to date me. Not for the kiddies, but definitely smoking hot Let it Bleed Rolling Stones. Ah, the memories of a misspent youth. Come Away With Me. Nora Jones Reminded me again of why I love Jazz and got me listening to the old greats again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neomet Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Ms Neomet says I have to type her list in as well so.... Tumbleweed Connection Elton John Goodbye Yellow Brick Road Elton John Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy Elton John Vertigo U2 Purple Rain Prince Wonder why we average 2-3 road trips a year to see Elton in concert? Ha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted July 30, 2009 Author Share Posted July 30, 2009 And yes, Jethro Tull. I was the hugest fan ever, back in the beginning. Benefit is right up there, from his older sound. And Minstrel, from his more "jethro tull" sound.And what about Joni Mitchell / Court and Spark. That's who bigJoni's named after. Thanks everyone - keep em coming. be I'm still working on #5. Been listening to a lot more old stuff lately. With Joni Mitchell, I like the album Blue, now, better than Court and Spark. The poppy songs on Court and Spark didn't hold the power for me. With Jethro Tull, Living in the Past is killer. be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleipnir Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 After reading some of your lists I think that I'm starting to have flashbacks....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted August 17, 2009 Author Share Posted August 17, 2009 It's interesting to me that 2 of my modern day favorite bands, 16 Horespower and Tool, and one of my all time favorites for the old days, Jethro Tull, don't have an album in my top 5. But one may make it though. For 16 HP, it's either Secret South or Olden. For Jethro Tull, It could be Living In The Past. I listened to it on a road trip recently - I forgot how good it is, overall. be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyOne Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 I'd need a genre...I'm a blues guy, but it's REALLY hard to pick just five. Off the cuff, I'd say something like 1.) ANYTHING SRV. His first albumn was a quick demo cut in a few hours that was tight enough to be released under a major label. The next two were great, and only scratched the surface, "Live Alive" was probably the worst, but has a great story and gives a sneak peak at how good SRV could be outside the confines of the studio. In Step was great. Tightrope just gets better and better, every time I hear it. "Sky Is Crying" and "Best Of" are made of the scraps left behind on the cutting room floor of earlier studio sessions, and they are STILL great. I just can't pick, and any one of them is a true, open channel to a different facet of the universal blues, by the best to ever plug in. 2.) Muddy Waters - "Hard Again". Any albumn where Johnny Winters is credited with "misc screams and feeling" is a keeper, but add to it the ultimate tough guy song, THE definitive version of "Mannish Boy", and WHO CARES what else is on it??? 3.) Almost anything by Albert King. I mean honestly, this guy made a big, breathy "Whoooooooooooooooo" a legitimate lyric. 4.) Almost any Albert Collins. The master of the telecaster, funky and shrill. 5.) Buddy Guy - Damn Right I Got Da Blues! A SEARING version of "Mustang Sally", and a good, if slightly "entry level / mainstream" intro to BG. You forgot Elmore James, John Lee Hooker, and Eric Clapton! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyOne Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 I had to really think on this one. But I realized all I had to do was sort my library by "most played" and the answers were obvious.Rage Against The Machine/Rage Against The Machine System of a Down/Toxicity Pantera/Cowboys from Hell Nine Inch Nails/Pretty Hate Machine Toadies/Possum Kingdom all very good selections!

GrumpyOne Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 1. Pink Floyd/Meddle 2. Jethro Tull/Songs from the Wood 3. Tool/Aenima 4. My life with the Thrill Kill Cult (TKK)/Confessions of a Knife 5. Southern Culture On The Skids (SCOTS)/Dirt Track Date Has anyone ever translated the Tool song "Die Eier Von Satan"? You should, it's hilarious! It's German, use BabelFish. As far as it goes, my top 5 are open to change at a moments notice. Maybe to some NIN, White Stripes, different Floyd, Rage Against the Machine, Dropkick Murphys, and definitely to some Johnny Cash! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revopop Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Off the top of my head, in random order: Beastie Boys-Paul's Boutique--the best that could ever be done with samples, would cost a bajillion dollars in royalties if they did it today. Beatles-Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts club band--'nuff said. Wu-Tang Clan-36 Chambers--lean, hungry, and raw. hip-hop at it's best. DJ Shadow-Endtroducing--wholly unique and uncategorizable. Each song is odd and almost unpleasant by itself, but brilliant as part of the album. I once listened to this 3 times in a row without getting bored. D'Angelo-Voodoo--the album is just like makin' love, starts with foreplay, ends with cuddling, all the best in between. Lasts longer than 2 minutes, though.

Sam Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Yeah, this one is pretty tough to answer. T. Bone Burnette "Proof Through the Night" Lyrics on this one just stand out as some of the best I've ever heard. Dylan "Empire Burlesque" It's hard for me to pick a favorite Dylan album because none of the anthology type albums really do it all for me. "A Decade of Steely Dan" Many of my faves on this compilation, much easier than picking a single Dylan album. "The Essential Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble". Well, it's essential! And it got a lot of great stuff on it, which kind of helps make up for having to pick a single Dylan album. Doc and Merle Watson "Live and Pickin" This one just makes me feel happy!

benos Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 Richard Buckner's The Hill qualifies for the number 5 spot, for now. It's an alt-country, ballad style, and you have to be "emotionally ready." Which I have been lately. It's killer start to finish. And especially when you realize that for the most part, it's just him singing and playing an acoustic guitar. I've seen him play a couple times - he'll put you in trans right along with him as he's playing. be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
