Greatest albums ever

[callippo 10]

you're going to need at least one jazz album.

 

I'm not a big Miles Davis fan as it happens, but he was one of the few jazz musicians that realised how important albums were becoming in the 60s and 70s. Check out Kind of Blue and In a Silent Way.

remember Charlie Parker is going to freak out a kid musician even today more than anything, just like Bird did Miles. Can you imagine the difficulty of playing that, when you've just heard it, you're a kid you try to play trumpet or sax or piano or anything really, and just realised Charlie Parker was the best ever. Miles would have been nothing without Bird. Nothing.

[Bloomdido 10]

Marillion - Fugazi

Marillion - Misplaced Childhood

Marillion - Script for a Jesters Tear

Marillion - Clutching at Straws

Pink Floyd (The entire catalogue)

Zeppelin - Houses of the Holy

Meat Loaf - Bat out of Hell

Bowie - Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust.......

 

So wrong. Marillion were awful. Floyd came good with a couple of albums. "Houses" was the worst Zep album. Bowie is pants. Meat Loaf has entertainment value, that's all.

[Lockjaw 11]

I'd agree with plenty of the above; here are a few more off the top of my head...

 

Rush - Moving Pictures

Deep Purple - Made in Japan

REM - Green (Way better than Automatic....)

The Las

Stereolab - Emperor Tomato Ketchup

Wings - Band on the Run

John Martyn - Solid Air

Radiohead - The Bends

Herbie Hancock - Headhunters

Primal Scream - Screamadelica

 

None of those are the best ever (that's probably Led Zep IV or Revolver or Stone Roses or.....) but they're all worth a listen.
