bbbean Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Herbie Hancock - Headhunters Sonny Terry - Midnight Special Miles Davis - Porgy & Bess John Coltrane - Giant Steps (or maybe Lush Life) J Geils Band - Blow Your face out But that leaves out way too many greats who should be on the list - Bird, Diz, Dinah Washington, Toots Thielmans, SBW, Little Walter, The Klezmer Conservatory Band, The Tubes, Parliament and Funkadelic, Gogol Bordello, and there's have to be a good recording of the Goldberg Variations, or some Bach Pipe Organ recordings. For that matter, Woodstock II, Never Mind the Bollocks, Workingman's Dead, Deep Purple's Machine Head and the Tubes' "What Do You Want From Live" would be pretty essential But wait - that leaves out Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, or any of a hundred New Orleans greats who recorded between the 20s and the 90s. What about a representative sample from Memphis, Detroit, Chicago, or Nashville? For that matter, there's no Bill Monroe, Gid Tanner, or any other country/folk/bluegrass pioneers and greats.What about the Rat Pack? This list can't be compiled.

McAllyn Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon Pink Floyd - The Wall Eagles - Eagles Greatest Hits Vol 1 Eric Claptop - Timepieces U2 - 18 My criteria is pretty simple. If I can put the CD in my truck and not skip tracks, it's good to go. Syncronicity and Brand New Day from the Police\Sting also make it very high on the list, as well as Continuum from Mayer and Songs You Know By Heart from Buffett.

Aglifter Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 The most beautiful piece of music I've ever heard is Dietrich Deskau's Third recording of Schubert's "Die Winterreise" on Deutsche Grammarphone. Its also among the most depressing, but just simply overwhelmingly beautiful. No idea on the other four. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMSI Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Not in order: 1. Jethro Tull - Aqualung 2. Stones - Exile on Main Street (can't believe this hasn't shown up yet) 3. Led Zep IV 4. Beatles - White Album (another great not on the list till now) 5. AC/DC - Back in Black 6. Crosby Stills and Nash - self titled Very old stuff, but these guys were the heat in my formative years and the albums are timeless, especially for a road trip. Lately I'm partial to Cake and any of Jack White's music. And Bluegrass. I've also developed a taste for Rage Against the Machine. Good thing I can't understand the lyrics, I guess.

ArmdCtzn Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Man, its hard to pick just five. I'm picking albums that I would listen to from start to finish. There are many that have a lot of great stuff, but I'd skip a few. These are good as a complete work: The Who - Quadraphenia (or Who's Next, or Who Are You) Pink Floyd - The Wall or Dark Side Miles Davis - Kind of Blue Peter Gabriel - So or Security Vince Guaraldi - A Charlie Brown Christmas If we allow compilations, or "best of" albums, which we probably shouldn't, you would have to include: Bob Marley -Legend Steely Dan - The Very Best of Steely Dan Kool & the Gang - The Best of Kool & the Gang 1969-1976 The Eagles - The Very Best of The Eagles Kiss - Alive II, not a "Best of", but the ultimate live rock 'n roll concert album Off the wall albums I wore out as a kid: W. Carlos - Switched On Bach Tomita - The Firebird Suite Bach's Brandenburg Concertos Hawkwind - Live in '79 Tangerine Dream - can't remember the album name, still have it somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikaelR Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Wow, it's really hard to list the top five, I'll try list the Five most important ones for me. Perhaps not the best ones since some have led me to a group/artist that later released an even better album or that already had one out I'd discover later on. Europe - Wings of tomorrow -84 Such a great album that was followed by, "The final countdown" a couple years later. Two really great albums I still listen to alot and that really turned me on to Europe and of course their guitarist John Norum. Unfortunatley John Norum left after that tour and for me Europe as a band ceased to exist. Sure they made some pretty good songs with Kee on guitar, but Norum had become my "house god" together with Gary and was impossible to replace. Gary Moore - Wild frontier -87 This was my first real contact with Gary and after hearing The loner, I was stuck. He was a great guitarist and my biggest influence. Unfortunatley I only got to see him once, but that summer night hearing him play the blues, such a perfect night. When he passed this february, it was a great loss John Norum - Total control -87 I was extremely bummed after he left Europe, but really soon after the departure rumours started that he was about to go solo. When Total Control came, darn not only did he play like a king, he also had a voice to match. He has released great albums in his own name ever since and the latest one, "Play yard blues" is such a masterpiece. He suffered a great loss when his wife Michelle Meldrum died (guitarist with Phantom Blue and Meldrum)and that have resulted in a couple oh so emotional songs. Whitesnake - 1987 -87 Just a kick-ass album, nothing but great rock'n roll and I dont think I'd listened to them if it wasn't for that album. Europe - Start from the dark -04 Got to see their reunion show(or actually they had played a gig in Norway a couple nights before) at Sweden Rock Festival -04 with John on guitar and that night was magical. Had been waiting for that moment for 18years and when "Start from the dark" came later that year, it was such a great comeback. Some other ones i think deserve to be mentioned even if it's not what was asked for. Testament - The new order Metallica - The black album Ghost - Opus eponymous Satyricon - The age of nero Opeth - Watershed ... and the list could go on and on and on and on a...
