September 22, 20214 yr Some of these are multi-albums. I could include almost anything by Van Halen here. Including Mammoth WVH. But not Van Halen 3. God, what a mess that was. Probably my favorite prog-metal. "The Chauffeur" remains, to this day, Duran Duran's finest work. A close (9/10) would be Astronaut. Wedding Album gets 8/10. Especially for Symphonies #4 and #5. This is as good as disco gets. A few metal classics. There are many Bach cello suites recordings, but this is the best. Duh. "Poison My Eyes" off the Last Action Hero soundtrack was my introduction to Bush-era Anthrax, and the beginning of my love for 'em. I have since gone back and rediscovered the Belladonna era, but this album is just so strong... I don't know if they'll ever get better than this. The soprano left the band after this album because her day job -- opera -- took off. Good luck finding this one anywhere. "What? Not 2112? Not Moving Pictures?" No, young padawan. This is what happens when the band gets back together after a long hiatus, Neil is writing about the loss of his family, and then the guy who produced Peter Gabriel's So and Tool's Lateralus comes along and fixes the mix. It is the definitive version.

September 22, 20214 yr I did this list simply by counting the number of plays that showed up on my devices counter. Apparently I listen to this shit frequently. Little Feet -Waiting for Columbus.

I almost included Zep IV but Battle of Evermore stopped me, I just cannot make it through that song. Same for the Beatles, Pepper probably comes closest, but every album has at least one song that is just a little weak.

Hoodoo Gurus, Smithereens, Plimsouls, Los Lobos, REM, Crenshaw, Zevon, 'Mats are all favorites. Funny to me, Tom Petty is probably my all-time favorite artist, but I can never find room for any of his records on my lists. And I love and own them all.

Just shows you have exquisite taste in music. I love Petty as well. Thought about Damn the Torpedoes, Hard Promises, Wildflowers, and Full Moon Fever. But they each have at least one song that I tend to skip over that isn't as strong as the others to me. Hell of a strong overall catalog, though.
September 23, 20214 yr Naming a few that I didn't see on the list. Rain Dogs - Tom Waits I'm Your Man - Leonard Cohen Lyle Lovett - first album We are the Village Green Preservation Society - Kinks Del Amitri - first album Armed Forces - Elvis Costello Shoot out the Lights - Richard and Linda Thompson Old No. 1 - Guy Clark Zoolook - Jean-Michel Jarre

September 24, 20214 yr A few more of mine: Dietrich Fischer Dieskau, Schubert Winterreise - this is an amazing recording; at one point, I spent months exclusively listening to this and it still blows my mind Ornette Coleman, The Shape of Jazz To Come - that first wail/solo is ecstatic in a way I’ve never heard before or since Paul Simon, Graceland - that Bakithi Kumalo bass sound Dave Douglas Quintet, Be Still
