Best Album { LP } ever

Derek and the Dominoes was a great one LP effort. The ferocious dueling lead guitars of Clapton and Duane Allman on some of the tracks was a thing of beauty.

another great one shot effort That I really like was Blind Faith. Steve Winwood and Clapton-doesn't get much better than that.

 

Well that's a bit arcane. I have their self-titled debut, which is strong for what it is, but can't imagine any effort by Tony Carey being the best. How does "Pink World" compare with the debut?

I love the debut album. But Pink World is in a class all to itself. Trust me if you like the debut album you will be blown away by Pink World.

 

Barnes & Noble now carries a fine collection of LP's. Some of which are
180 gr. and some 200 gr.Plus they also carry the Worthless Crosley Record
players.Total Junk.Worse than junk.At least junk has appeal at a junk yard.
Maybe a Crosley Executive Portable for that budding Executive at the Junk yard ... eh.

 

The Breeders-Pod
Pixies-Surfer Rosa. Note there are overlaps in musicians and engineers. Pod is, in my opinion, the greatest album no one has ever heard of, by a band few have heard of, with one of the greats bassists ever that no one has ever heard of.

Springsteen-Born to Run

Talking Heads-Fear of Music

Pink Floyd-Dark Side of the Moon

The Clash-London Calling

Nirvana-Nevermind

The Might Zep- IV (better than Houses of the Holy in my opinion)

Pixies-Doolittle

 

I have to go with Boston's first album. It was recorded in Tom Sholz's basement. Tom did almost all of the instruments and Brad Delp did all of the vocals. It was way ahead of it's time in 1976. Don't Look Back is high on my list as well.

 

you nailed a bunch of good ones. Europe 72 and Eat a Peach are 2 of my ATF's as well.

 

Your comment about Johnny Winter's version of johnny b goode reminds me that the album "Johnny Winter and... Live" was a double album but only had music on 3 sides. The 4th was blank. Totally unique in my memory of vinyl.

 

R.I.P John Dawson Winter. 1954-2014. One of the best, but most under rated guitarists of all. Go Johnny go!!

 

TYPO ALERT! Johnny was born in 44 not 54. My fault.

 

I knew I'd forgot one.That's spot on.Boston's First album was a huge
success.Forget that they produced/recorded it in their own basement studio.
I knew I'd forgot a couple.

Blind Faith and Cream were both really good.I have - Fresh Cream - LP that a bought
last year some time and it's OK. Not as good as - Blind Faith -.
This Cream was the product of the The Robert Stigwood Organization.
Just 3 band member { Ginger Baker,Jack Bruce and Eric Clapton }.
I need to get a - Yardbirds - LP. Clapton,Jeff beck and Jimmy Page in their
youth.I have one Cut of a Yarbirds song { LOUISE } off a great oldies LP
album.Man that is great stuff.That's real original basement rock n roll.

 

real musicians playing real instruments because they loved music

I saw the Cream during their last USA tour at the L.A Forum back in October of 1968.

I saw Led Zeppelin play at the Rose Palace in Pasadena back in May of 1969. I felt kinda weird since I was on liberty when I was in the Corps and I had the shortest hair in the place. Everyone thought I was a narc.

As for Woodstock, the only woodstock I ever had was on my M-14 rifle. But by the time of Woodstock in August of 69 was taking place, it was a black plastic stock on a M-16 rifle. I think I missed more than a few good concerts from June of 69 to July of 1970. 13 months of my youth stolen from me.

 

In no specific order:

Miles Davis Kind of Blue

Tool Aenima

Beastie Boys Paul's Boutique

Nirvana Nevermind

Rage Against the Machine Self Titled

Pink Floyd Animals

Snoop Dogg Doggstyle

Led Zeppelin IV

 

LA Woman, Low Spark of High Healed Boys, Blood On The Tracks, Aja, Fresh Cream, Cheap Thrills

 

Pure genius and very entertaining...

I was a sophomore when Woodstock was all the rage.My best friends brother
went to Woodstock.I have an expensive Criterion Collection DVD of the
Greatest ever Mass Public Outdoor festival.The One held for free at Altamont Freeway.
------- Gimme Shelter ------ Where The Hells Angels were permitted to
protect the band members up on stage.However a Guy Died during the concert.
Some Guy { a Tall Black Dude with a big Pimp Hat } who really stood out in the
crowd was Knifed to death by an Angel.He was flashing around a pistol.
The DVD shows the takedown.It happened in like a mere few seconds.
From out of nowhere this Hells Angel is shown thrusting his arm downward.
he had a knife in his hand.Mick Jagger and also Gracie Slick had to both try
and calm down the Angels.They were overly protective of anyone nearing the
stage.They were told ALL the Free Beer they wanted as long as they kept the
crowd from getting on stage.The Angels took that duty .... Literally.
I guess they thought ... Dead OR Alive.

 

Most best albums of all time will be old stuff, since in those days the concept of a record was very important. The record's sleeve was enormous enough to further express that concept. People didn't mind listening to ugly performers then, as video was an exception rather than the norm.

Here are a few chefs d'oeuvres:

Spooky Tooth: Spooky Two (I guess few people even know this album)
Joni Mitchell: Blue (Idem)
Skip Spence: Oar (idem, but stonger)
Soft Machine: Two
Funkadelics: Maggot Brain
SOD: Speak English or Die

More well known stuff
Marvin Gaye: What's Going On
Rolling Stones: Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers, Exile on Main Street
The Who: Who's Next
Pink Floyd: Meddle, Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals, The Wall
Beatles: Revolver, Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
The Clash: London Calling
Neil Young: Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere, Harvest, After the Gold Rush
Led Zeppelin: I, II, III (and its horrible sleeve), IV
Bruce Springsteen: Born to Run
Jeff Beck's Group: Truth
Supertramp: Crime of the Century
Black Sabbath I, Paranoid, Master of Reality, Volume IV
Genesis: Fox Trot, Selling England By The Pound
Jethro Tull: Stand Up
Kiss: Destroyer
Bob Dylan: Blond on Blonde, Highway 61 Revisited
Velvet Underground: The Velvet Underground and Nico
AC/DC: Highway to Hell, Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, Back in Black
Bee Gees: Saturday Night Fever soundtrack

There are, of course, many, many more

 

Well, sorry for the rather conventional list: if it's just going to be one and just one, that'll be this one for me

 

Netflix has a great documentary on him...he was quite a character.

 

The Doors came close with their First Album.
The One Titled ... - The DOORS -

 

Taylor Swift
Red


Will Smith
Big Willy Style

 

I don't see the talent in Taylor Swift.She's merely a convenient vehicle
that Country Music needs to keep high sales.
I mean,some of her music is like syncopated.Not Country at all.
There is nothing Country about her.I doubt she could make biscuits.
Looks like a girl that goes to Wellesley college.Or Bowdoin college.
