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!

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

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,

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:

Judas Priest - Screaming for Vengeance, Defenders of the Faith, Sin After Sin, hell all of their albums just about!
Iron Maiden - Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, Piece of Mind.
Metallica - Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets, And Justice for All.
AC/DC - Back in Black, Highway to Hell.
Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath.
Motorhead - Ace of Spades.

Not necessarily rock genre ...

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

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".

[DirectorDave]

Not sure my definition of Rock would be the same as anyone else but.....

1) Rubber Soul (The Beatles)

6) Pet Sounds (The Beachboys)
7) Up to Our Hips (The Charlatans)
8) Automatic for the People (REM)

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.
