I'm not sure what the prize is but hands down, that's the most remarkable album cover art collection I've ever seen in one place, at one time.

Not good, but definitely remarkable. The "Joyce" album looks disturbingly familiar. Maybe the "Prancercise Lady"?

Arduous. Could throw in so many more, but the given was five. You walk up to the plate and have to get on base with basically five pitches. Then you lose control. If you're good, you walk. If you're great you homer. Mostly you hit a pop fly. I took my at bat. There will be others.

Unlike "The Dude" I love The Eagles, especially their first album. "Eagles" which has "Take it Easy" and "Peaceful Easy Feeling"

As of August 20, 2018, their compilation album:
"Their Greatest Hits, 1971-1975" surpassed Michael Jackson's "Thriller"
as the best-selling album of all time. (NPR)

Have you seen Bohemian Rhapsody?

I think I’ve watched Freddie ‘s Live Aid performance more than any other video on You Tube. I thought I’d read that it was voted “ best live performance by a rock band of all time.” (by whom, I’m not sure). He is just mesmerizing.

He was great in "Leap of Faith" with Steve Martin, Debra Winger, Liam Neeson & Lolita Davidovich.

Meatloaf played "Hoover"
if you haven't seen it, you should.
It's a great film!

A departure from their previous work, all around excellent and before it's time. I've got to think that folks responsible for some of that subsequent California sound started taking notes after both that and Sweetheart of the Rodeo.

He got a hearse and went to where the body was, (posing as a funeral home guy), drove out to Joshua Tree, poured gas on the body, and set it on fire.

He got off light...only had to pay a $300 fine.

Keith Richards was very distraught over Gram Parsons' death..they were close friends. and Parsons used to hang out with the Stones a lot.

Radiohead OK Computer - when I need to relax
Game Theory Lolita Nation - the re-release updated the drums. Regardless of that it is a masterwork.
Let's Active - anything Mitch Easter, sign me up -- snuck that in. 😁

Cracker (formerly Camper Van Beethoven) is an annual birthday listen

Graceland is the best mainstream album I've ever heard.

REM - doesn't matter. It's REM and everything else as a friend once said about me. They really peaked AFTER their "peak". Enjoy.

173. Fantastic choices!
Fri Feb 8, 2019, 05:10 PM
Feb 2019

... and a DU heart for you as a thank-you!!

I didn't chime in on this thread because I have too many favorites to even begin to narrow it down to five, but your selection includes some strong contenders for me. Miles Smiles and Miles in the Sky were the two records that got me truly hooked on jazz.

Conversations with Myself is wonderful both as a document of Bill Evans's genius, but also as a fascinating experiment in music, psychology, and the art of recording.

Blues and the Abstract Truth belongs, for "Stolen Moments" alone. Such beauty in sonic form! Amazing.


The Thad Jones/Mel Lewis album you cite and Dizzy's Something Old, Something New are not familiar to me, although I love a number of other recordings by each!

Two other big band records I love are Tales of a Courtesan by the Toshiko Akiyoshi-Lew Tabackin Big Band -- featuring the incredible Basie-esque workout, "Road Time Shuffle" -- and Africa/Brass by John Coltrane (with Eric Dolphy's brilliant arrangements). Well, and then there's Crystals by Sam Rivers, Living Time by George Russell (with another somewhat experimental outing by Bill Evans), The Spirits Of Our Ancestors by Randy Weston, I Hate To Sing and Big Band Theory by Carla Bley, Mingus Ah Um by Charles Mingus, Sing Along with Basie by the Count Basie Orchestra with Lambert Hendricks & Ross, The Individualism of Gil Evans, The Thelonious Monk Orchestra at Town Hall (with Hall Overton's swinging arrangements), Chris McGregor's Brotherhood of Breath: Live at Willisau, Atlantis by Sun Ra And His Astro Infinity Arkestra, Jazz Underground: Live at Smalls (featuring the fantastic "Hexophony" by the Jason Lindner Big Band), and....

Oh wow, and these are just some of my favorite big band recordings! And just in the jazz realm!! I honestly think I would have trouble limiting my favorites to just 50, let alone five. But thank you for taking up the challenge and listing your choices -- and for prodding me to remember some of mine!

Crazyhorse Mongoose - Galactic
Dick's Picks Vol. 3 - Grateful Dead
Essential Clash
Axis: Bold As Love - Jimi Hendrix Experience

All are perennial favs among many but these ones, in particular, have been getting very heavy rotation lately. I've been on a Pink Floyd kick (yet again) so Wish You Were Here, too. And the Live at Pompeii movie played through my bluetooth speaker (Echoes!!).

Several Days later...
Ok, I'm adding a few more, a post-1980 section:

Paul's Boutique - Beastie Boys

Rage Against the Machine - Eponymous

You named Steely Dan's "Aja" and the Beatles "Abbey Road", and others that might fall into that category (Radiohead, Joni Mitchell). Must be I'm not up to date on shifting definitions...

... and the artists I cited above are all on their playlists. "Rock" encompasses a lot of variation, from the mushy soft stuff to hard driving to jazzy to... most of the works of Zappa.

Or it's just my imagination, and I'm satisfied with my fantasy!

Pixies -Doolittle
Sarah McLachlan - Fumbling Towards Ecstasy
Indigo Girls, Swamp Ophelia
Blink 182 - Enema of the State
Tegan and Sara - Heartthrob (for personal reasons)


Honorable Mention - O-Zone - DiscO-Zone


But there are so many, and I try to listen to anything, but country. BLECH!

Also, do people really embrace the idea of an "album" anymore? I think more in playlists - of my own design.

Like my fav "album" is "Z Workout Energize1" playlist!

Some thematic albums taken as whole say more, I think, than the songs contained in it.

Many historical examples come to mind, and "A Southern Rock Opera", by Drive-by Truckers is a fairly recent 'concept album.'

I think in terms of albums mostly from habit, I suppose, as I will be 60 if I live a couple more weeks. The playlist approach was what many of us elders did when we cobbled together cassette tapes of favorite songs.

I can't properly explain this. Ask me tomorrow, and you might get a very different answer.

Tue Jan 29, 2019, 06:03 PM
Jan 2019

Elvis Costello, King of America

Among his many great albums, this collection of sad, wise country-blues songs stands apart.

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, The Boatman's Call

A beautiful album about the joy of love reciprocated, the pain of love gone sour, and the urge to try to find wisdom in the divine.

James Brown, Love Power Peace: Live at the Olympia 1971

James Brown at the height of his powers with the incredibly tight JBs backing him. Incredibly vital and passionate.

Massive Attack, Mezzanine

A classic of dark electronic R&B/hip-hop; cool, ominous, sexy, and perfect for playing at night.

Nina Simone, Wild Is the Wind

Earthy, lyrical, beautifully sung, spare, and full of pain. A stunning achievement.

I was just listening to that this weekend. Peter Knight's setting of "Robbery with Violins", more commonly known as "The Bank of Ireland" was one of the first Irish reels I learned. way back when. And Maddy Prior? What more can be said about her fine voice? Especially on "The Weaver and the Factory Maid".

The two Traveling Wilburys albums are timeless

Interesting that Tom Petty was part of the band solely because George Harrison had to go to his house to get his guitar, and invited him to come back to Dylan's house to jam with the others, including Roy Orbison.

Sat Feb 9, 2019, 03:49 PM
Feb 2019

It's called "Cadillac Records" and it's the story of Chess Records.
The script is very good and the acting is superb.
Muddy Waters, Howling Wolf, Little Walter, and Chuck Berry are all well-played by the actors in the cast.
The guy who plays Chuck Berry looks and sounds just like him.
But the best acting comes from Beyonce Knowles who does an outstanding job playing Etta James.

If you haven't already seen the movie, you should...It's a great film!

It might be the "Anthology" album on CD released in 2005.
I've since misplaced it, so I'm not sure of the title, but I think it was "Anthology"
I love it because besides being a great album, it came with a bonus DVD of his "Live At Lisbon" concert.
He really puts on a great show!
