T&C Posted August 23, 2020 Posted August 23, 2020 Own or have owned all of them. Imo, if you go back or forward 4 years that was the massive take of the best music ever made. Plenty of exceptions for sure but to me that was the bulk part of it. 1 1

Workingmans Dead,All Things Must Pass, Cosmos Factory, ***** Brew, Deja Vu, etc, etc. No wonder Gen X has such excellent, diverse taste in music!

DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted August 23, 2020 Posted August 23, 2020 I never thought I'd see the day I'd say, I'm old. I don't believe there is a group on that list I don't like. although their first album wasn't released until '73, Aerosmith is celebrating their 50th year together as a group in 2020.??? 1
Seasons1992 Posted August 23, 2020 Posted August 23, 2020 I have 13 of those................and I'm only 42!
T&C Posted August 23, 2020 Author Posted August 23, 2020 Only a few on there I don't care for... VU Loaded, they had shot their load with the first and second one. The McCartney album was kind of lame to me, other than maybe I'm amazed. He did play all of the instruments on it though so I guess that makes it. New Morning isn't a go to for me... maybe I should check it out again. Have never been an Elton John fan... @Pete , way to get me going... and I was in a mellow mood lol: 1 1
OGTEleven Posted August 24, 2020 Posted August 24, 2020 Zep III is to me their most underrated album by far. I rank it very high on their list but that doesn't seem to be the consensus.
Wacka Posted August 24, 2020 Posted August 24, 2020 (edited) The list is alphabetical. Edited August 24, 2020 by Wacka
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted August 24, 2020 Posted August 24, 2020 (edited) I have at least 3 of those listed. But I have many that are that old and not listed. W/o looking 3 off the top of my head. The Dark Side of the Moon and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road - 3 years shy of 50. Grand Funk Railroad Live Album Edited August 24, 2020 by SlimShady'sSpaceForce
apuszczalowski Posted August 24, 2020 Posted August 24, 2020 It doesn't surprise me much to hear those albums are 50 years old I think it's more surprising to see how many bands/artists have multiple albums on the list. You don't see that often today outside of rappers/hip-hop artists and Taylor Swift where the music is mass produced on computers.....

I don't listen to it often but I can agree it's underrated.
RevWarRifleman Posted August 24, 2020 Posted August 24, 2020 T&C, Thanks for posting this. I'm sending a copy of this list to an old Air Force buddy of mine & his wife. Such memories. Arguably the best year ever for production of music in rock and roll history. 1

There is a little worth mentioning on "Houses of the Holy" and then it went downhill pretty fast after that. Of the first 4, core albums, 3 is the worst IMO. I do love the original "spin wheel" thing built into the album jacket, however.

I don't know... opening with Down on the Street really set the tone on that one. As an aside, if this one Was on the list, as it should be, it would be the one I never owned. That ***** was hard to find even 10 years later. I've seen it at shows but it was always crazy money.

Yeah, I had it but not until the late 70's, import LP if I recall correctly, that and the 1st one.
