You strike me as someone who would like/is into Steeleye Span, I have one album that Bowie played sax on. I have never listened to Steeleye Span but I just checked out the Wikipedia on them and your may be right that I would like them. I will have to give them a listen. One of the odd things about my list is two of the albums were purchased without having ever heard the group before. I had a copy of Rolling Stone that I was reading in the "Library" when I came to a full page add about Liege and Lief. So I went out and bought it. Loved it. Soon after I bought the other Fairport Albums with Sandy Denny on them. Love them all. The other album was purchased at Twin Fair as a cutout. It was a good place to get albums cheap and I kept seeing this album with a cover of a guy on a horse. After seeing it enough times, I thought I should try it. Really struck gold with that one. It was Then Played On by Fleetwood Mac. Don't know how it happened that I had never heard a song by them before that, but there was a lot of music coming out at the time. They never made it big on US radio. That Moby Grape album is great collection of songs plus the fact the guitars play against each other so well. Guess it takes more than just talent to make it big.

Augie Posted August 8, 2018 Posted August 8, 2018 If I answered this today, I could have a whole new top 5 tomorrow. Depends on what you’re in the mood for, I guess. 2

Either way, nice choice.

PromoTheRobot Posted August 9, 2018 Posted August 9, 2018 This is the hardest question to answer because what I like changes over time and what my mood is.

Wow, I had a Jean Luc Ponty phase. I could not have come up with the name without a prompting though. But it was a real thing, late 70’s to early 80’s? 2
Jay_Fixit Posted August 9, 2018 Posted August 9, 2018 Guns N’ Roses - Appetite Soundgarden - Badmotorfinger Led Zeppelin - Houses Of The Holy Bob Marley - Legend Gangstarr - Moment Of Truth

But it was a real thing, late 70’s to early 80’s? I think Cosmic Messenger really got him noticed but a few other standouts to me are Civilized Evil, the Live Lp (Ralph Armstrong is a monster on the bass), and Aurora. If you are bored here is Ponty when he was in the MOI, this probably was towards the very end of his time with this band before he went out on his own. The guy in the plaid pants is pretty good too.
stuvian Posted August 10, 2018 Posted August 10, 2018 very tough to narrow it to 5 ACDC - Back in Black Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon Rolling Stones - Hot Rocks Fleetwood Mac - Rumours The Who - Who's Next Lynyrd Skynyrd - Second Helping I know that's 6. Yes I cheated

Why is this jewel of an album not in the mix? I just took a pic of my son standing on the set of stairs to the left, this past Saturday. Edited August 10, 2018 by Gugny 2

Probably their best outside their first four. I'm actually surprise how relatively unchanged it still looks. Were there a lot of other tourists taking pictues?

Were there a lot of other tourists taking pictues? I was the only one. It is an awesome little section of Manhattan. And I think Physical Graffiti is better than Zep I and II. It really is an awesome album.
