Great Rock Albums discussion

[mariab]

I would have to go with anything by Pearl Jam (esp. Yield or Pearl Jam ), the Sex Pistols Never mind the bollocks, Nirvana In utero (just made me think of the Ripper murders – ugh! ), any of the early albums by aussies Silverchair (just not the last, jazzy album), Donavon Frankenreiter, maybe a compilation by The Doors...
(In short, all the “girly“ stuff...)

Hello Steve.. you are so right, i dont know when or how it happened that Parsons has become somewhat of a joke as years go by.. i think the people that make fun of them never actually listened to the albums... they were so good..... and as for gettingto work with Eric Woolfson.. I feel someone should comment on how sad his passing was... and how sad it was that it got almost no coverage at all... RIP Eric.

so what other albums/bands make your list Steve?

Hi man
Will address this shortly, but for now it's teatime!

Clue: The Beatles are number one by a country mile!

Good call.. ELO was a great band i'll give you that... I was also always a big Alan Parsons fan, and was lucky enough to see their one and only tour...see it's so hard to pick just a few albums.. or even bands.. everytime I read a response I remeber that i missed some......

great lists we have going here, and look foward to reading more

Hi man

Good call on the Alan Parsons Project.
My favourites are;
The Turn of a Friendly Card
Eye In The Sky
Amonia Avenue

Parsons was in such a lucky position to have been an engineer on both Abbey Road and Dark Side Of The Moon and to have Eric Woolfson as his partner and such great vocal talent like Colin Blunstone to call on.

Rock is boring.
Except Eddy Cochran and the Guana Batz.

If any of you guys like insanely fast thrash metal then check out Gama Bomb who I stumbled across the other day.

http://www.myspace.com/gamabomb has loads of free stuff to check out... they rock!!

They were pretty good--fast, but intelligible.

Hello Magpie!



Well, my countrymen are a bit shy to present this lynyrd-skynyrd language of ours internationally...

Since the Estonians are the only ones to understand it pretty good and the Hungarians can catch a word here and there...

Interesting results for the Finnish Metal Awards this year:

Band of the year: Insomnium
Record of the year: Insomnium - Across The Dark
Vocalist of the year: Tomi Joutsen (Amorphis)
Musician of the year: Alexi Laiho (Children Of Bodom)


I haven't actually heard Insomnium yet--I'll have to get on that.

Hello Magpie!

No problem Jukka! Finland has some great bands at the moment--Children of Bodom and H.I.M. Stratovarius and of course the mighty Nightwish. But Amorphis is not only the grandpappy of them all, but they also have the most "Finnish" influences, musically and lyrically.

Many thanks Magpie.
"Year by year" makes it most useful for my purpose.

Amitiés!

Need some info for some little work I'm currently doing about the Kemper case.
And since I was too young....I'd like to know what did young people listen in the early seventies...

This might help:
