Great Rock Albums discussion

[mattwill]

Wow, I thought I might be the first to answer with some metal albums, but I was wrong. So, here goes with a few of my favorites (not all metal):

Metallica: Everything but Load, Reload, and St. Anger (I do like some of the stuff on those though)
Overkill: Taking Over, The Years of Decay, Feel the Fire, From the Underground and Below, and KIllbox 13.
Brainstorm: Liquid Monster and Soul Temptation
Testament: The New Order and The Gathering
Weird Al Yankovic: Dare to Be Stupid and Weird Al Yankovic In 3D
Judas Priest: Painkiller

Every George Harrison Album

Wow. Really? Gone Troppo??

What about that elusive record by the Mint?

I agree with pretty much of that...every single Beatle album is great.

Good picks for Dylan as well.. the first is very underrated and the second contains perhaps his voice at its best (if he ever had a best that is!) Oh Mercy is very good if you havent heard it.

Cat Stevens is IMHO one of this country's greatest songwriters.

Thnx,
Victoria

Too much rock on this roch thread, if you want my opinion.

But just a few favs off the top of my head ...

'Rubber Soul' ..as it was the first album I ever bought and it is good.
'Revolver'
'The Beatles' (white album)
'Abbey Road'
but then.. every Beatles album is good.

'Another side of Bob Dylan'
'Desire' Bob Dylan

'Neil Young Live at Massey Hall 1971'
'Sugar Mountain' Neil Young

Every Cat Stevens Album
Every George Harrison Album

1) Rubber Soul (The Beatles)
2) The Stone Roses (The Stone Roses)

7) Up to Our Hips (The Charlatans)
8) Automatic for the People (REM)
9) Enjoy the Melodic Sunshine(Cosmic Rough Riders)

I think I love you. Judas Priest is my all time favourite band, and Point of Entry is one hell of an underrated album!
Here's a few of my faves:

I saw Judas Priest (and Queensryche) on their Angel of Retribution tour--they can really kick tucchus for a bunch of old guys!

Point of Entry is criminally underrated, although it was finally recognized as a classic many years after it's initial release.

Edit: I'd also nominate Bruce Dickinson's solo albums "Chemical Wedding' and "Tyranny Of Souls" and Queensryche's "Rage For Order".

Rather than start a new thread entitled Music, I thought I would post this URL for the Internet Archive here. The IA has hundreds of great live performances from Ryan Adams, The Grateful Dead, Alexandro Escovedo (I recommend Live at the Bottom of the Hill, 2007-07-19!) as well as many, many others of all genres.

Here's the main URL and from there click on Audio at the top. Incidentally most of the concerts are freely downloadable.

Time to get the grill going...marinated pork chops on the grill tonight.

Best of wishes,

Billy

Well, I'm back.

Reading through the very good recommendations, I was glad to see "Marquis Moon" and "London Calling."

How about adding Rod Stewart's "Every Picture Tells A Story" and Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here"?

Let's not talk about grammar as I am totally undecided on whether periods should be within the parenthetical signs or not.

Be good,

Billy

If you get the chance checkout Baby Darling Doll Face Honey by Band of Skulls- the best debut rock album I've heard in many a long year!
