Old Joad Posted September 18, 2022 Author Share Posted September 18, 2022 The Band - Music from Big Pink was a very influential album: and if you're going to add a rap album to the list. The Sugarhill Gangs self-titled debut album is the first hip hop studio album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I knew it was a 10 CD box set, mybad ?) Since that puts me at nine, I'll add Just Another Band From LA, recorded Live at the Pauley Pavilion; just so happens I was there that night... t for some reason I never caught Zep live 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True Story: I remembered Billy The Mountain from one of the Fillmore East Concerts I went to (the night before Zappa met and played with John Lennon). But it wasn't on the Mothers at the Fillmore East. I had to wait until the Just Another Band album and of course all the local flavoring was very different from what I remembered (California-based instead of East Coast-based). So finally, this year, the 50th anniversary edition of the Fillmore East album came out. The set lists confirmed my memory! ? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one thing that would not change is that there would always at the very least be some version of Beethoven's late string quartets. I'm also taking these as a special holiday bonus. Can't imagine a life without them. Edited September 19, 2022 by Rain 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhonoBrainer Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Mine: Abbey Road Can't decide, Dark Side or The Wall. Just one of these. Talking Heads Speaking in Tongues Level 42 World Machine Dire Straits Love Over Gold Roxy Music Avalon Van Morrison Poetic Champions Compose Oingo Boingo Only A Lad crap only two left uh, Thomas Dolby Astronauts and Heretics and finally Stereo MC's Connected Wait! No jazz, no country? No western swing? No downtempo electronic chill? Forget it. I quit. A pointless exercise. ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noynekker Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Hey . . . this got me thinking, what about, in no particular order: Paul McCartney - RAM Blue Rodeo - Tremolo Genesis - Wind and Wuthering Supertramp - Crisis? What Crisis ? Beatles - Abbey Road Led Zeppelin IV Elton John - GoodBye Yellow Brick Road Bruno Mars - 24K Magic Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon Alanis Morisette - Jagged Little Pill Paul Simon - Graceland FleetWood Mac - Rumours . . . oops, that's 12 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigb Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 There's NO chance I'm going to try this one! I like too many genres (except the bulk of Country and Rap which I combine into the genre "CRap" though, to be fair, there are even small bits of each that I still like). Although I've spent MANY hours just distilling genres and subgenres down so I could categorize my music (over 360,000 tracks currently), I think I would find it hard just to reduce things down to my favorite ten genres let alone albums! ? Heck, even whittling down the over 160 Tangerine Dream albums down to my ten favorites would be tough! I just did a quick check on a TD playlist I have of my favorite albums and it has 14... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rain Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 I posted this list and went downstairs to prepare tea. I wasn't even out of the room yet that it hit me like a ton of bricks. I forgot Cheap Trick's Heaven Tonight. My most listened to album these last 12 months. No sane individual can really accomplish such a feat as listing only 10 records. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
