TheLizard Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 I've heard a bit of Marillion. It's not bad, but there were just much better albums nominated, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 (edited) 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's all represented. Good job everyone! Tim, I couldn't agree more. These aren't the same albums that show up on every other list, in every magazine or on every website. It's very representative of the diversity we have here. Congrats to everybody, for great nominations, and a great final list!! Edited March 26, 2008 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_s_1987 Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Four of the albums I voted for made it! haha I think I was the only one who voted for Marillion. do you guys not know Marillion, or just not like them? I'm just starting to get into them now. I'm finding as many free Marillion mp3s as I can at the moment, before I decide if I will buy that album or not.

Farin Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 okay, I'll start then: Ten ~ Pearl Jam Often standing in the shadows of Nirvana's Nevermind, one shouldn't underestimate this album's influence in the development and popularisation of Grunge and Alternative Rock. Ten was and remains one of the defining albums of the first half of the 90s. Hard rock riffs combined with Vedder's deep lyrics which address dark themes such as gun violence, frustration, loneliness makes it a must-have in every music collection Even Flow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 KING CRIMSON Yes!! haha I think I was the only one who voted for Marillion. do you guys not know Marillion, or just not like them?

edna Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 how is it that you get to meet people like that? Being a music journalist opens every door... That was fifteen years ago when I worked in the music scene. I used to meet half of the people coming to tour or promote their albums. Plus I was dating their A&R record company by then...

Lea Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Are You Experienced-Jimi Hendrix Jimi Hendrix's stylistically innovative work from his debut album and every preceding album , have earned him and kept him loyal fans right up to the present day. His well deserved fame as one of the greatest guitarists of all time is still as relevant today as it was in the sixties. He was and will remain one of the greatest rock legends of all time.

Lucky Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 (pronounced 'lĕh-'nérd 'skin-'nérd) ~ Lynyrd Skynyrd This is the album that gave birth to a genre in 1973. The phrase "Southern Rock" hadn't been uttered until these guys came onto the music scene. Their sound was raw, and hard rocking, blues/rock flavored with a bit of country. Their original lyrics were sweet southern poetry, as told from the view of a Southern redneck boy. Every song on this release was a winner. The last (and eerily prophetic) track, will forever be a Rock 'n' Roll anthem, and provided us with that shout heard in live venues from coast to coast, North or South, from the albums release, until today ..... "Play Free Bird, man !!" "If I leave here tomorrow, would you still remember me?" Yeah, Ronnie, we remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edna Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 "In The Court Of The Crimson King" King Crimson In 1969 psychedelic rock was a trendy genre; "ITCOTCK" is psychedelic but it´s mainly progressive-rock, with bits of minimal and not so easy to listen. Robert Fripp and Pete Sinfield created an athmosphere that opened the door to further experimentation, while selling lots of copies. Not an easy task.

Rayzor Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Appetite For Destruction Guns N' Roses The 1980's were known for many things. One of these things were something called "hair-bands". Loud rockers with hair that made most females jealous. There were many bands opening the doors to this new music style and at just the right time appeared Guns N' Roses with their album "Appetite For Destruction". The album was an instant hit. Sitting upon the top ten charts across the world for months and selling faster than bottled water in the desert nearly every track was a hit. From "Night Train" to "Paradise City" and the ever popular "Welcome To The Jungle" the voice of Axl Rose (William Bailey) and the lead guitars of Slash (Saul Rosen) gave the band the edge over all others. Still today the original cast of Guns N' Roses can be heard from car stereos and i-pods alike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miamisammy29 Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Slash's name is actually Saul HUDSON. Wasn't Saul Rosen a computer wizard, or something like that? :guitar: :guitar: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
