Alice In Chains - Jar of Flies

Primus - Frizzle Fry

Mad Season - Live at the Moore

Pink Floyd - Animals

Rage Against the Machine - Self Titled

Jar of Flies is my favorite AIC album.  That was in heavy rotation for a long while.  And Mad Season is incredible.  I am looking for that on vinyl.  There is no band as powerful as Rage IMO.  Good choices my man.  May 10 is my birthday.  And May Day is to be celebrated!

Have Jar of Flies and Live at the Moore on vinyl.  Added bonus, Jar of Flies comes with Sap too.

Blind Melon - Blind Melon

Abbey Road

Duane Allman Anthology Vol 1

Led Zeppelin III (just because so many already said II and I never understood why III always gets the shaft - come on - Immigrant song, out on the tiles, since i've been loving you, that's the way...and the rest.  So.  Damn.  Good.)

Van Morrison Moondance

Zeppelin I-IV are their finest work.  Houses of the Holy is OK, and it was all downhill after that.  

 

Of the first four albums that form the backbone of their work, III is easily the weakest.

 

I guess that's why it tends to get passed over.

Agree 100% on your first point.  Disagree on the second...but it's sort of like saying it's the slowest sprinter on the Jamaican 4x100m relay though.  All of them are pretty damn fast!  I actually rank them II, III, IV, I personally.  But all are phenomenal.

Switch 1 with 3. But yeah, no matter how you rank em, their first four are easily their best.

Meddle is also very good.  It would be tough to decide between the two for me.  Deciding my top 5 favorite albums is an exercise in futility.  I tried.

 

100% Meddle is great.

 

As I currently listen to Dark Side on headphones, we enjoy an amazing album like NEVER before.

haha.

I love the unplugged the best, but its more of a greatest hits.... but man, its a masterpiece (cant believe Cantrell had food poisoning).  Of their albums though, yes.  Jar of Flies.  I need to get that on vinyl.  I do have the Live at the Moore and listen to it more than I should.

 

Also, re: Rage.  This guy kills me

This is REALLY hard. I would have an easier time coming up with a top 20 or 25. 5 is restrictive, but here goes...

 

Black Sabbath - Paranoid

Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon

Waylon Jennings - Ladies Love Outlaws

Paul Simon - Graceland

Metallica - Kill 'em All

 

Hon. Mention... Michael Jackson - Off the Wall

 

Can't believe I just made a top 5 with no Hanks... But when I really think of it as 5 albums I can't live without, it's those 5.

 

Best country voice of all time!

Been going through a huge Waylon phase lately. Just found out that his original touring band is still together. Sometimes they tour with Shooter (who's good, but absolutely nothing like his dad), or Jessie and a Waylon impersonator. Of course there's only one Waylon, but if they ever come near me, it'll be the closest I'll get in this lifetime. 

Also, saw a Floyd tribute a few weeks ago that started their show playing Dark Side in it's entirety. Going to see another one next week that's doing The Wall.

I would go see a Waylon "impersonator" or cover band. Waylon is my favorite even among the giants like Hank and Cash.

 

I found a British pressing of Ladies Love Oitlaws and it is easily my best quality country vinyl. What an amazing press it is, and what a great tracklist. It's a toss up for me whether I like Ladies Love Outlaws as much as Lonesome, On'ry, and Mean but my copy of that kinda sucks so I listen to the better quality albums more.

 

Also a big fan of Cedartown Georgia, Always Been Crazy, and Are You Ready for the Country. I guess now I'm just listing Waylon albums lol. Love this guys music.

 

I saw the Pink Floyd Experience at the Smith Opera House in Geneva about 10 years ago and it was awesome. Almost as good as Derek Trucks and Warren Haynes the next weekend...

Actually, about three months ago I went to see a local Pink Floyd Tribute Band, who played all of Dark Side. They were good. I even got my first writing piece to be officially published out of it Then a week later I got free tickets to a different Floyd tribute, who did all of Wish You were Here. The one I'm seeing a week from today is a group called Classic Albums Live. They tour the country, and do a different full album, and usually a few greatest hits, of different artists. The Wall should be great, doubt they'll do much if anything else after being that it's such a long album.  

 

If I had to rank my top 5 country artists it'd be

  1. Waylon
  2. Willie
  3. Hank Sr
  4. Cash
  5. Charlie Daniels

For my birthday in June my fiance got me a Johnny Cash hat, a Waylon Jennings car decal, a shirt that says "Waylon, Willie, Merle, Hank, Johnny" and a Willie Nelson ticket. Best gift I've gotten in a long time.

Cool subject. Pretty tough just because of the different phases one goes through in life, but here’s my drunken answer on a Friday night. First 4 probably wouldn’t change no matter what

 

 

Tool: Aenima

Floyd: Darkside

Alice In Chains: unplugged/mtv

Tool: Lateralus 

Eminem: Marshall Mathers LP (had to throw one rap in there)

 

Honorable mention: 

Linkin Park: Hybrid Theory 

Tupac/Makeveli: the don kilumanati  

Green Day: dookie 

Korn: follow the leader 

The offspring: smash
