March 28, 20205 yr My 10 would probably change tomorrow . . . and the following day . . . Today's 10 (in no particular order): Cheap Trick -- At Budokan R.E.M. -- Murmur Sidewinders -- Auntie Ramos' Pool Hall AC/DC -- Hell's Hits (a 2-disc apparently authorized greatest hits package that wasn't released in the U.S.; one disc is Bon-era and the other disc is Brian Johnson-era) The Who -- Who's Next The Replacements -- Tim Miles Davis -- Kind of Blue Beatles -- White Album Fabulous Thunderbirds -- Butt Rockin' Bob Marley -- Legend
March 28, 20205 yr The Sidewinders (ultimately renamed The Sand Rubies, in the running for the worst band name in the history of ever) were one of those Arizona bands that just sounded like the desert. Man, they were good. Like a dusty Soul Asylum.
March 28, 20205 yr Went to the shit site (uck, gotta shower now) and pulled my top 10, over there it was "10 albums that chart your musical history", from 2012, still stands up: Beatles - Sgt. Pepper Simon & Garfunkel - Bridge Over Troubled Water Johnny Cash - At Folsom Prison Joe Patek Orch. - Happy Joe and Other Favorites Pink Floyd - Animals Frank Zappa - Lumpy Gravy Willie Nelson - Red Headed Stranger Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures Don Walser - Texas Saouvenir Old 97s - Hitchhike to Rhome

Bob Marley is on my Mt Rushmore of music and that "album" in particular is one of the best of any genre ever. However; I would argue as far as an actual "album" goes, it should be Exodus. Edited March 28, 20205 yr by Hate
March 28, 20205 yr Live at the Old Quarter, Houston, Texas - Townes Van Zandt Old No. 1 - Guy Clark Red Headed Stranger - Willie Nelson Axis: Bold as Love - Jimi Hendrix Bringing It All Back Home - Bob Dylan Townes Van Zandt - Townes Van Zandt Mississippi Fred McDowell - Mississippi Fred McDowell Moanin’ in the Moonlight - Howlin’ Wolf Gilded Pleasures - The Growlers Graduation - Kanye West
March 28, 20205 yr Here’s my 10 but sadly I could probably do my next 10 and that list would be close to this list as far as albums I like. I guess I listen to way too much music since I had to leave off Kind of Blue, Revolver, Sgt. Peppers, Darkness on the Edge of Town, Thriller (yes I like the pedo’s album) etc.... Beatles- Abbey Road Springsteen- Born to Run Billy Joel- The Stranger Eagles- Hotel California Beastie Boys- Pauls Boutique Van Helen-1984 Prince- Purple Rain Bob Marley- Legend Pink Floyd- Animals Marvin Gaye- What’s Going On

I ultimately picked Legend because that was the disc that really introduced me to Marley and was the touchstone for all the rest. But, yeah, Exodus is magnificent.

I tried to avoid compilations and greatest hits since you tend to migrate to the top 10 bands/artists you like vs. albums but yeah Legend is fucking fantastic. Spring Break 85 FTW.
March 28, 20205 yr Albums only paint part of the picture. AM and then FM radio and singles were the way to consume music as a youngun. Growing up the only albums were my parents, so starting with one of theirs and the rest follow as in order of influence. Oscar Brand - Bawdy Songs and Backroom Ballads Various Greatest Hits albums - Rolling Stones, Beatles and Kinks (Ktel collection) Queen - A Night at the Opera After being sent a tape of George Gmarc's show in the early 80's, I started listening to British and alternative music. The Jam - All Mod Cons REM - Murmur Worked in a record store in Florida and these albums were always on the playlist. UB40 - Signing Off Parliament - Mothership Connection Began working at a place that had live country music. Introduced to TVZ, Steve Goodman and Guy Clark. John Prine - first album Leonard Cohen - Greatest Hits (average one night stand that finished with her playing this album in the morning) RIchard and Linda Thompson - Shoot out the Lights So much left out. I need a beer. Edited March 28, 20205 yr by dogbreath take out dead space
March 28, 20205 yr I tried to avoid compilations and greatest hits since you tend to migrate to the top 10 bands/artists you like vs. albums but yeah Legend is fucking fantastic. Spring Break 85 FTW. I feel like Legend is one of those compilations that can be excused for an exercise like this

I keep hoping they'll come through, even if it is without Pat(RIP), but they rarely come to Texas for some reason. Revolver vs. Sgt. Pepper -- It's like trying to choose between your kids. Both were groundbreaking. Smithereens -- Saw 'em with Marshall Crenshaw a little over a year ago, and it was a great time. MC can't sing the songs like Pat did -- that was one downside. But I hear some of those songs and I just can't imagine anyone but Pat singing them, so I'm somewhat biased. And for whatever reason they didn't do any Marshall Crenshaw songs (it would have been great to hear them sing Whenever You're On My Mind), but whatever. But what helped make it a great show was that they got all the other members of the band more involved in the show. Jim Babjak sang lead on a song. Dennis (!) sang lead on another song. They told stories about Pat and how they started up the band. They had Mike Mesaros back in the band on bass, and he was as loose and animated as I've ever seen him. He even spoke to the crowd -- told a story about the band's early days, going over to Jim Babjak's house to practice and how he could still smell the paprika from all the meat that Jim's dad would hang and cure in the basement of the house where they would be practicing. I'd never seen Mike say a word on stage before, so it was great to see him acting so loose. They brought out David Marks (former Beach Boy) and had him sing lead on a couple old Beach Boys tunes, and they sounded great. They brought out Severo Jornacion for a couple songs, and it was good to see "The Thrilla" again. It was tremendous. I hope they get down to your neck of the woods someday.
March 28, 20205 yr Bruce Springsteen - Darkness on the Edge of Town U2 - The Unforgettable Fire Van Morrison - Greatest Hits Vol. I The Eagles - Greatest Hits Vol. I The Beatles - Greatest Hits Vol. II Neko Case - Blacklisted Bruce Springsteen - Born to Run U2 - Actung Baby Lord Huron - Strange Trails Marvin Gaye - What's Going On Some might give me flak for putting three greatest hits albums on my list. But I had those cassettes playing nonstop from my early teen years right through undergrad. Lord Huron is the most recent addition. It hasn't had the longevity in my life like the others (not yet), but I fucking love that album. Darkness has always been one of my favorites, but I listened to it a lot in 2019 during my divorce.

I wonder if Robin Wilson(the other guest singer they use) is a bit better.
March 28, 20205 yr I saw The Smithereens at The Back Room, of all places. Stood right up front. They were tremendous. Very odd venue for a non-metal band, but nobody cared.

I heard in an interview with The Edge that U2 was listening to a lot of Stone Roses during the creation of Actung Baby and they were one of the bands that influenced the sound of that album.
March 30, 20205 yr I listened to and bought a lot of albums early in life but then went a long time not buying any albums. Once napster came around I cherrypicked the best stuff from an album and ignored the rest and mostly do that to this day. I have spent a lot of time over the last few days listening to some of the albums listed and realize I missed out on some good shit. Thanks for the suggestions, it's been fun. Hendrix- Band of Gypsies Zappa- Weaselsrippedmyflesh Quicksilver Messenger Service- Happy Trails Pink Floyd- Animals PF- DSOTM Santana- Abraxas David Crosby- If I Could Only Remember My Name The Woodstock Sountrack The Orb- Metallic Spheres Massive Attack- Blue Lines Edited March 30, 20205 yr by Shoxthemonkey Couldn't remember how to spell remember
