This is a new fb pastime. Thought it would be fun/interersting to see the must have albums from the frequent posters in this group. I say take your time - 15 mins may not be enough. For me it was about10 mins too much. If I used more time I'm sure my list would be different. Clearly only 15 is pretty limiting as most of us have tons of influences I'm sure but it's just for fun. I tried not to include greatest hits collections. My list would be very different with those included. You will not be graded on this. Sgt. Pepper - Beatles Physical Graffiti - Zeppelin Dark Side Of The Moon - Pink Floyd Exile On Mainstreet - Stones Blow By Blow - Jeff Beck Close To The Edge - Yes Aja - S. Dan Royal Scam - S. Dan Murmur - REM Who's Next Joshua Tree - U2 Before These Crowded Streets - D. Matthews Are You Experienced - Hendrix Madman Across The Water - Elton John Yellow Moon - Neville Brothers

My list would > be > very different with those included. You will not be graded on this. I originally did this exercise for the MusicThoughts list on Yahoogroups. They just asked about albums that would always stick with you, as opposed to any sort of musical influences or must have albums. My quick, from-the-hip stab at that was: 1. Elton John - Goodbye Yellowbrick Road 2. Billy Joel - Nylon Curtain 3. Dixie Chicks - Fly 4. Eagles - Hotel California 5. Garth Brooks - No Fences 6. Gordon Lightfoot - Gord's Gold 7. ABBA - Gold (or really just about any of their albums) 8. Dan Fogelberg - The Innocent Age 9. Bob Dylan - Greatest Hits 10. Styx - The Grand Illusion 11. Linda Ronstadt - (really any number of her late 70's albums, but I'll go with Simple Dreams (with second choice: Heart Like a Wheel) 12. Elvis Costello - Taking Liberties 13. Bruce Springsteen - The River 14. Bread - The Best of Bread 15. Bee Gees - Gold Of course, it'd be hard to stop there, especially needing to add some additional songwriting influences like Neil Sedaka (Sedaka's Back), Eric Carmen (All By Myself), Jim Croce (really pretty much all of his output), and most all the early Elton John and Billy Joel albums, but also various rock groups like Aerosmith (Toys in the Attic), Queen (Night at the Opera), and lots more. Yeah, I'd even include the Beatles, though not so much from any of their albums, rather more from learning their songs separately, typically from music books. Elvis Presley, too, but more from TV than albums. In fact, I'd credit Elvis and Linda Ronstadt as being, indirectly, two of my biggest songwriting influences. Neither of them was really a songwriter, but both of them covered some great songs and introduced me to a number of songwriters' work I'd later come to love separately. For example, Linda Ronstadt comes to mind for introducing me to Elvis Costello, Neil Young, Hank Cochran, Willie Nelson, and more. Someone on the MusicThoughts list complained about my including a number of greatest hits albums on there. My response was that I came to a number of the artists late, and it was their greatest hits albums that I got first. For example, that was true of Dylan, Lightfoot, Bread, and the Bee Gees (with an early/pre-disco greatest hits). The one exception is ABBA. That was just a copout, because I couldn't bring myself to just pick one of their albums, and the 20-song (I think) Gold compilation at least gives a good sampling of the hits plus a few slightly lesser known but excellent songs.

I went with most favorite over time, which might include some that I've heard so much to that I don't often spin them these days. Since I had that much time, I kept listing until the the time was up, then eliminated some. Very hard to do, and I'd probably come up with something different every time I did it. I see I'm definitely a child of the 60s-70s. A couple of '80s things came off the list, but nothing later, I think. I definitely favor stuff with prominent guitars. Mostly "classic rock", although it wasn't classic when I first listened to it. A Wizard/A True Star - Todd Rundgren A Hard Day's Night - Beatles Armed Forces - Elvis Costello A Passion Play - Jethro Tull Starless & Bible Black - King Crimson Led Zeppelin 3 Jim Hall Live Who's Next Peter Gabriel 3 Let It Bleed - Rolling Stones 12 Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus - Spirit Katie Lied - Steely Dan Marquee Moon - Television The Doors Rough and Ready - Jeff Beck Crystal Silence - Chick Corea & Gary Burton
I pulled these off a shelf at random... The Shadows - The Shadows Musica è - Eros Ramazzoti Unplugged - The Corrs The Height Below - John Williams (not the star wars guy..) Sky - Sky War of the Worlds - Jeff Wayne Come on Over - Shania Twain Revolver - The Beatles Enya - Watermark The Planets - Holst ( Berliner Philharmoniker ) Peer Gynt - Grieg ( Berliner Philharmoniker ) Forever Vienna - André Rieu Arrival - Abba Lover Over Gold - Dire Straits Brothers in Arms - Dire Straits The Kick Inside - Kate Bush DJB "Neil Rutman" <> wrote in message news:... > This is a new fb pastime.

Before it made it through the second play, the tape munched in the player, so my bass player and I took the cartridge apart, and carefully unreeled the tape back and forth across the floor of our hotel room. I then re-wound the tape back onto it's spindle, and snapped the cartridge back together. That tape played fine from then on until I didn't use any 8-track players any more. -- Remove YourHeadFromYourAss to Reply by email ________ __ / ____/ /__ ____ ____ / /_ ____ / / __/ / _ \/ __ \/ __ \/ __ \/ __ \ / /_/ / / __/ / / / / / / /_/ / /_/ / \____/_/\___/_/ /_/_/ /_/_.___/\____/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Glennbo http://www.soundclick.com/glennbo Non-Linear Sound http://www.soundclick.com/jambits Hear My Music http://www.soundclick.com/ThePseudonyms
