scott Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 oh and in case it just looked like I was pimpin' songs, I will try and better explain... I was trying to show the solidness of the album thru the fact that nearly every song located on that album... is near perfect... It's hard to show the perfection of CRCR to anyone who hasn't heard it before What it has that nothin' else does... magic, spark, creativity, and more rocking than any album since the late 70s. with my two noms, I would say that OK Computer is the best 'musically' but CRCR is the best 'fun' you will have with any album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazooka Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 [big]Dr. John's Gumbo[/big] Over a forty year career Dr. John has concocted scads of albums in various styles, and with a huge differences in success and quality. But this one is, by any standard, an undeniable Masterpiece. Some of his very best piano work (" radiatin' the 88s ") shines in these just-right arrangements of a dozen funky New Orleans R&B numbers. An amazingly accomplished group of simpatico hometown players click with Dr. John's eccentric vocal styling. You can listen to this album hundreds of times and never get tired of this stuff.Iko Iko Blow Wind Blow Big Chief Somebody Changed the Lock Mess Around Let the Good Times Roll Junko Partner Stack-a-Lee Tipitina Those Lonely Lonely Nights Huey Smith Medley Little Liza Jane There are live Dr. John clips on YouTube, but none that replicate this work with an amazing backup ensemble. Have to settle for amazon.com samples [big]------------[/big][big]The Paul Butterfield Blues Band[/big] My first encounter with the blues was having friends turn me on to this album. I have the CD today. "Harpist" extraordinaire Butterfield, with fellow young white guys Mike Bloomfield and Elvin Bishop on guitars, hired away Howlin' Wolf's rhythm section to cut these flawlessly gritty and timeless tracks. Born in Chicago Shake Your Money Maker Blues With A Feeling Thank You Mr. Poohbah I Got My Mojo Working Mellow Down Easy Screamin' Our Love Is Drifting Mystery Train Last Night Look Over Yonders Wall Again, there is nothing to match this on YouTube.

Crazy Don Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 AC/DC--Back in Black The first sound on Back in Black is the deep, ominous drone of church bells - or "Hell's Bells," as it were, opening the album and AC/DC's next era with a fanfare while ringing a fond farewell to Bon Scott, their late lead singer who partied himself straight to hell. But this implies that Back in Black is some kind of tribute to Scott, which may be true on a superficial level - black is a funeral cover, hell's bells certainly signify death - but this isn't filled with mournful songs about the departed. It's a more fitting tribute, actually, since AC/DC not only carried on without him, but they delivered a record that to the casual ear sounds like the seamless successor to Highway to Hell, right down to how Brian Johnson's screech is a dead ringer for Scott's growl. Most listeners could be forgiven for thinking that Johnson was Scott, but Johnson is different than Bon. He's driven by the same obsessions - sex and drink and rock & roll, basically - but there isn't nearly as much malevolence in his words or attitude as there was with Scott. Bon sounded like a criminal, Brian sounds like a rowdy scamp throughout Back in Black, which helps give it a real party atmosphere. Of course, Johnson shouldn't be given all the credit for Back in Black, since Angus and Malcolm carry on with the song-oriented riffing that made Highway to Hell close to divine. Song for song, they deliver not just mammoth riffs but songs that are anthems, from the greasy "Shoot to Thrill" to the pummeling "Back in Black," which pales only next to "You Shook Me All Night Long," the greatest one-night-stand anthem in rock history. That tawdry celebration of sex is what made AC/DC different from all other metal bands - there was no sword & sorcery, no darkness, just a rowdy party, and they never held a bigger, better party than they did on Back in Black.

Farin Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Blood Sugar Sex Magik ~ Red Hot Chili Peppers 1. "The Power of Equality" - 4:03 2. "If You Have to Ask" - 3:37 3. "Breaking the Girl" - 4:55 4. "Funky Monks" - 5:23 5. "Suck My Kiss" - 3:37 6. "I Could Have Lied" - 4:04 7. "Mellowship Slinky in B Major" - 4:00 8. "The Righteous & the Wicked" - 4:08 9. "Give It Away" - 4:43 10. "Blood Sugar Sex Magik" - 4:31 11. "Under the Bridge" - 4:24 12. "Naked in the Rain" - 4:26 13. "Apache Rose Peacock" - 4:42 14. "The Greeting Song" - 3:14 15. "My Lovely Man" - 4:39 16. "Sir Psycho Sexy" - 8:17 17. "They're Red Hot" (Robert Johnson) - 1:11 I know some people start listening to a CD with tracks they already know like the hit 'Under The Bridge'. Here you better leave it, feel 'Blood Sugar Sex Magik' like you feel a movie: 'Power of Equality' is a good opener with an excellent guitar solo. 'If You Have To Ask' is a party song with a party chorus and groovy background guitar. Now enough of the warm up, it's time to start the main show. 'Breaking The Girl' is a beatiful lovesong, it has a dramatic flute and Anthony's vocals are very impressive, not to mention the famous Frusciante Guitar in the beginning. 'Funky Monks' is a song about the Peppers themselves but also about every man out there. 'Suck My Kiss' is one of my personal favorites, it's even better than the hit 'Give It Away'. 'The Righteous And The Wicked' contains the best choir vocals and the funkiest guitar part. The songs 'My Lovely Man', 'Greeting Song' and 'Apache Rose Peacock' are outstanding because dominated by the genius of Flea who plays the most melodic bass I've ever heard. My favorite song is 'Sir Psycho Sexy', it's a movie itself, the last 2 instrumental minutes remind you that even the best adventures gonna end. Afterwards you can't imagine a life without 'Blood Sugar Sex Magik'. This album changed your universe, too. I have nothing to add to that well, maybe: listen to it (maybe I'll add more links later ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 BOB SEGER and the Silver Bullet Band - 'LIVE' BULLET This album was recorded live, in front of a home town audience in Detroit Michigan. There were 80,000 people in attendance, and Seger played on a bill that included Point Blank, Elvin Bishop, and Todd Rundgren. Released in April of 1976, I was at the concert in support of the album in the fall of '76. The concert is tied with the Stones for the best I've ever seen. I'll never forget it. Seger is to Mid America what the Eagles are to California, and Lynyrd Skynyrd is to the South. He belonged to us, the music of the working man. This is definately one of the best all-time "live albums" ever released, by anyone. 1. Nutbush City Limits 2. Travelin' Man/Beautiful Loser Numbers 2 and 3 of the track list, but the songs are commonly played together. 4. Jody Girl 5. I've Been Working 6.Turn the Page 7. U.M.C. (Upper Middle Class) 8. Bo Diddley 9. Ramblin' Gamblin' Man ( 2 minutes of the 3 minute song) 10. Heavy Music 11. Katmandu (from a 1980 concert) 12. Lookin' Back 13. Get Out of Denver 14.

Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting 4:53 15. Roy Rogers 4:08 16. Social Disease 3:43 17. Harmony 2:45 IMO, this is the greatest double album ever recorded. It spawned the hits Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting, Benny & The Jets and the title track. Candle In The Wind is a brilliant tribute to Marilyn Monroe and ironically, it didn't become a hit until Elton tweaked the lyric and used it as a tribute to Lady Diana after her death. Even the less well known songs like Harmony, All The Young Girls Love Alice and Funeral For A Friend/Love Lies Bleeding are excellent. There really aren't any filler songs here.

c_s_1987 Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 In The Court Of The Crimson King (An Observation By King Crimson) 1. "21st Century Schizoid Man" (Fripp, McDonald, Lake, Giles, Sinfield) - 7:21 2. "I Talk to the Wind" (McDonald, Sinfield) - 6:05 3. "Epitaph" (Fripp, McDonald, Lake, Giles, Sinfield) - 8:47 4. "Moonchild" (Fripp, McDonald, Lake, Giles, Sinfield) - 12:13 5. "The Court of the Crimson King" (McDonald, Sinfield) - 9:25 From Wikipedia: In The Court Of The Crimson King (An Observation By King Crimson) is the 1969 debut album by the British progressive rock group King Crimson. The album reached No.3 on the British charts. It continues to be a classic and has been a tremendous influence on other artists. The album is certified gold in the United States. The album generally considered by many the launching point of progressive rock where blues-oriented rock is completely abandoned in favour of more jazz and European symphonic elements incorporated. The Who's Pete Townshend was quoted as calling the album "an uncanny masterpiece". The album was remastered and re-released on vinyl and CD several times during the 1980s and 1990s. The original master tapes were finally located in a Virgin Records storage vault in 2003, leading to a much improved remastered version released in 2004.

CanAm Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 The Allman Brothers At Fillmore East 1. Statesboro Blues 4:20 2. Done Somebody Wrong 4:35 3. Stormy Monday 8:48 4. You Don't Love Me / Soul Serenade 19:19 5. Hot 'Lanta 5:21 6. In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed 13:06 7. Whipping Post 23:03 Few groups could boast of having an axeman as accomplished as Duane Allman. Fewer still could claim to have two guitarists of the calibre of Allman and Dickey Betts. On this, one of the two or three greatest "Live" albums of all time, Allman and Betts push each other to incredible heights. The musicianship on this album is stellar, as are Greg Allman's vocals and the recording quality. Every song is great, although I must say that Whipping Post and Statesboro Blues are my favourites. Duane Allman died shortly after this album was released, more's the pity. At least he left this fantastic album as part of his brilliant legacy.

Dappled Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Blonde On Blonde - Bob Dylan All the songs are here! 1 Rainy Day Women #12 & 35 2 Pledging my time 3 Visions of Johanna 4 One of us Must Know (Sooner or Later) 5 I Want You 6 Stuck Inside Of Mobile With The Memphis Blues Again 7 Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat 8 Just Like A Woman 9 Most Likely You Go Your Way And I'll Go Mine 10 Temporary Like Achilles 11 Absolutely Sweet Marie 12 4th time around 13 Obviously 5 Believers 14 Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands I loved Highway 61 Revisited and didn't think Dylan could make a better album. But he did with Blonde On Blonde. From allmusic.com: Blonde on Blonde is an album of enormous depth, providing endless lyrical and musical revelations on each play. Leavening the edginess of Highway 61 with a sense of the absurd, Blonde on Blonde is comprised entirely of songs driven by inventive, surreal, and witty wordplay, not only on the rockers but also on winding, moving ballads like "Visions of Johanna," "Just Like a Woman," and "Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands." Throughout the record, the music matches the inventiveness of the songs, filled with cutting guitar riffs, liquid organ riffs, crisp pianos, and even woozy brass bands ("Rainy Day Women #12 & 35"). It's the culmination of Dylan's electric rock & roll period - he would never release a studio record that rocked this hard, or had such bizarre imagery, ever again.
