Meddle is a great album but Atom Heart Mother is the ultimate tripping album ever.
Don't Forget
Tarkus
Close To The Edge
Tales From Topographic Oceans
Stray Cat Blues.....sex on vinyl....
When it comes to the Beatles, Revolver does it for me. With ELP, I am torn between Tarkus and Trilogy. Jimi, yes, pd, definitely Electric Ladyland....accept no substitutes, but Axis: Bold as Love is a close second.
Cudgelling brains - and taking notes. Beethoven's 9th definitely on "to buy" list - I have heard others speak of it.
Undertow by Tool.
Siamese Dream by Smashing Pumpkins.
Most Led Zeppelin albums.
And, of course, Hanging Tough by NKOTB.
(once had a strong and persistent image of a guy carrying his dead daughter through thigh deep mud during "she's so heavy." luckily i had abbey road on cd instead of lp, so "here comes the sun" drove it away again. if i'd had to get up to flip the record, it might have taken hours. that was the night of damn marching penguins over the toilet -- damn kitschy needlepoint wall hangings...)
Spirit - Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus
Thanks for making me dust it off!
Another great LP! "I got a line on you, babe..."
BpB... I swore off ELP before I started using...
Dire Straights. For an entire month a bunch of us would suck down bongs and listen to Dire Straights' first album. Then Zappa's Apostrophe.
(and Firesign Theater...)
The Residents: Eskimo
an Aside... Whiter Shade of pale and CCR's Have You Ever Seen The Rain... go nicely together, eh?
oh! bayou country (speaking of ccr)
since that old-type music keeps popping up, can anyone tell me what bartok piano concerto i'm thinking of? i never had the sleeve, just the record...
ah, well. that and just about any stravinsky do it for me.
Mendelson, Violin Concerto In E Minor
Abraxas by Santana
Anything by Mozart, Bach and Beethoven
Happy Trails by Roy Rogers (OK, I was five, but he took me to another place.)
Anything by Ladysmith Black Mombaza
Miles--I agree with Cav, In a Silent Way and Bitches Brew
A wonderful jazz piano and guitar album called Vince Gauraldi, Bola Sete and Friends
so many more................
"Electric Mud" by Muddy Waters
"Why Don't You Try Me Tonight" by Ry Cooder with The Dixie Hummingbirds as backup. Or was it The Swan Silvertones?
There is some incredible music listed on this thread. Cav, I haven't listened to or thought of The Mahavishnu Orchestra in a couple of decades!!
Mr. Skin, we know where you've been....
You'd better get your ass to the animal zoo, Bear.
I never tire of the music of Laura Nero. The double CD "The Best of Laura Nero/ Stoned Soul Picnic" is a treasure. The raw emotion and power she could convey in a solo performance, accompanying herself on piano, put the pop versions of her works to shame. Favorite tracks include Sweet Blindness, And When I Die, Emmie,
Save the Country.....
Morphine. Anything by Morphine. Oooooh my.
I heard some Morphine ("Buena") coming out of the TV earlier, on a car ad. It was kind of bizarre. Kind of like the first time I heard The Nails' "88 Lines about 44 Women" on a car ad. Just not what I expect to hear coming out of the idiot box.
