A few hot takes:
1) A Farewell to Kings- Rush 2) Aja- Steely Dan ( There are other Dan fans I see!) 3) Electric Ladyland- Jimi Hendrix Experience Trent King |

As a fellow Rush fan, I'd love to hear your reasoning for choosing AFTK over all the other '76-'81 records.

To BobbyStrawberry aka Matthew- I chose AFTK because too many people choose Moving Pictures or 2112. AFTK contains Xanadu, which is musical perfection, so I named it. ALL Rush is great, the list could simply be Rush- this isn't an all Rush forum though

2112 is my favorite RUSH album, classic.

I'd like to add 3 more albums to my previous selections. The first album is Deep Purple's "Machine Head". The second is a 2 album set from Lynyrd Skynyrd, "One More from the Road". Lastly the self titled release from "Blind Faith".
There's been some great albums mentioned in this thread, I just thought I'd add a few more. |

Fascinating how many metal guys on the board. I consider myself to have really eclectic musical tastes, but have just never gotten into real metal. I recall in high school I won two tickets from a radio station to see a double bill of Iron Maiden and Judas Priest at the Nassau Coliseum. I guess they were alternating who opened and that night it was Iron Maiden. I remember we left at intermission and as we walked through the parking lot my ears were ringing in pain like I had stood next to a jumbo jet revving its engine for the last hour. I thought the decibel level was just insane.
I did see Boston at Nassau Coliseum on their first ever tour and that was amazing. First time I had ever seen someone smoking one of those funny cigarettes. Hell, in those days you could hardly see the stage due to the massive cloud of smoke down near the stage. Wish I still had the tee shirt of the album cover.

Rush - Moving Pictures
Rush- Permanent Waves Give a listen to Natural Science on Permanent Waves. It got no airplay on the radio but is a great song If you have not figured it out yet, Rush is my favorite group. RIP Neil Peart. Also, I agree with Boston’s debut Album. Thanks Duane |

Good stuff...
+1 to Wish You Were Here, What's Goin' On, and Who's Next Surprised Hotel California hasn't been mentioned. I will say the songs hit home a little harder as you get older. I'll add a couple that probably won't be on anyone else's list but all I can say is give a listen, start to finish in proper track order...

There are a couple of gimmes listed thus far, IMO. Who's Next and Born to Run can't miss, and I really see nothing wrong with Wish you Were Here, Blood on the Tracks and Hotel California. Also no objection here to Excitable Boy. Personally I prefer Pretzel Logic to any other Steely Dan album. Eat a Peach belongs, although Mountain Jam is just too damn long. Talking Heads Stop Making Sense is an incredible live album, but Skynard, REO, and Cheap Trick are close. If you're ever real introspective, Jackson Browne's The Pretender is amazing and list worthy.

I'm going with "Rattle & Hum" by U2.
Covers of the Beatles and Bob Dylan. Dylan on another track. BB King showing off the pipes. A taste of Hendrix. A homage to Martin Luther King Jr. A mixed studio/live album, with a mix of musical styles and voices, that just "works". Oh, and it's worth noting that coming off the success of Joshua Tree, the album DIDN'T include what was just about the biggest son on the planet "With or Without You". Ah, good fun.

American Beauty by the Grateful Dead is up there for me.

One of my favorite albums of all-time for sure. As I was emerging out of my punk only phase, I met Uncle Tupelo which brought me to Son Volt that then brought me to Wilco which opened up further doors musically. Damn I love that album. Was playing "Tear Stained Eye" on my guitar last week.

I really do have a taste for all kinds of music, but one that is kind of out of the genres described here is Jagged Little Pill. My daughter and I really both enjoy it and it is solid front to back. I'm on the doormat of 60 and she's 22, but we both find it interesting and relatable. My playlist ranges from John Prine to Ozzy to 2Pac to P!nk.

Every Beatles Album. I never skip a song on any of them. Not many albums ,if any, were very good before 1964. How many singles do you have that you actually listened to the other side ? Only on The Beatles ( mostly double sided hits.. My dial is glued to Sirius Channel 18

Picture this: Meadowlands early 90s. A hot summer day. Faith No More goes on at like 3PM opening up for Metallica and Guns n Roses. Of the three bands that day, Faith No More was the tightest.
