BillsFanNC Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 Lowest of the Low--Shakespeare my Butt 320896[/snapback] That's my #2 choice. It's a shame that virtually nobody outside of Canada and a few US border cities know about this one. 17 songs and not one dud.
Terry Tate Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 KISS - Alive II 320940[/snapback] It's 1977, and a young AD is ready to go out trick-or-treating dressed as Gene Simmons, with the face-paint, high heeled boots, electric guitar and a wig covering his mullet. The neighbors all agree that kid ain't right. You know you're getting old when the music you're naming here was also available on 8-track when it was released.
philburger1 Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 I agree. Lets throw trespass( the Knife, Stagnation,looking for someone) in there to. I didn't want to get carried away but now that I see My fellow Bills brothers are into The Greatest Group of all time. I thought it was great to be able to buy almost 3 albums a year Phil Collins solos, Peter Gabriel solos,Genesis and later even Mike and the Mechanics albums Name another group who for 20 years have came even close to producing what these guys have done and are never considered one of the great groups 320969[/snapback] I hear you! And I actually like Steve Hackett's (Defector) and Tony Banks (a Curious Feeling) best of any of the solo alblums. Tony and Steve each have new classic music CDs out now. How many rock bands have not one but two people in them that can write classic music for an orchestra as well?
Roscoe Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 If I'm on a desert island, my money's on Bob Marley's Legend. Can't believe nobody picked this one yet.
SF Bills Fan Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 Alice in Chains - Dirt 320548[/snapback] I really liked AIC Jar of Flies. Layne was great!
Campy Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 No Matter How Many Times You Play It -- On A Desert Island Or The Arctic Mine - Meat Loaf - Bat Out Of Hell Don't Equivocate Too Much 320541[/snapback] If I have a lifetime supply of beer, I'd want "Greatest Irish Drinking Songs" by various artists. If not, I'd want Carbon Leaf's "echo echo." Either way, I'd need my guitar.
Bill from NYC Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 I am bringing 2.....Nirvana Live and Joe Jackson's Greatest Hits.
Geo in Pa Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 I agree. Lets throw trespass( the Knife, Stagnation,looking for someone) in there to.

BF_in_Indiana Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 I've got like 3. Pink Floyd - The Wall Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral Black Sabbath - Paranoid
MikeH Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 Bruce Springsteen. Darkness On The Edge Of Town. 321064[/snapback] Speaking of Bruce ... Has anyone heard the new Devils + Dust CD? I picked it up yesterday and I've only listened to it once. So far, I'll say that it's better than his previous "acoustic" albums ... Nebraska + The Ghost of Tom Joad. The song "Reno" definitely leaves nothing to the imagination. Here are the lyrics to "Reno" : She took off her stockings I held 'em to my face She had your ankles I felt filled with grace "Two hundred dollars straight in Two-fifty up the ass" she smiled and said She unbuckled my belt, pulled back her hair And sat in front of me on the bed She said, "Honey, how's that feel Do you want me to go slow?" My eyes drifted out the window And down to the road below I felt my stomach tighten As the sun bloodied the sky And sliced through hotel blinds I closed my eyes Sunlight on the Amatitlan Sunlight streaming through your hair In the Valle de dos Rios The smell of mock orange filled the air We rode with the vaqueros Down into cool rivers of green I was sure the work and the smile coming out 'neath your hat Was all I'll ever need Somehow all you ever need's Never quite enough you know You and I, Maria, we learned it's so She slipped me out of her mouth "You're ready," she said She took off her bra and panties Wet her fingers, slipped it inside her And crawled over me on the bed She bought me another whisky Said "here's to the best you ever had" We laughed and made a toast It wasn't the best I ever had Not even close
Kelly the Dog Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 I hear what you're saying... for me there's a difference though between greatest and favorite. For example, IMO Exile is their greatest, but either Black & Blue or Aftermath is my favorite. Highway 61 or Blonde on Blonde is Dylan's greatest, but Street Legal is my favorite. If I can only take one CD, I'm taking my favorite, not necessarily the greatest. 321016[/snapback] I would argue that Blood on the Tracks is his best, and is also considered by a few critics as one of the best albums ever made. It would also be a pretty good choice for this question.
taterhill Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 That's my #2 choice. It's a shame that virtually nobody outside of Canada and a few US border cities know about this one. 17 songs and not one dud. 321050[/snapback] funny...your #1 choice was my number 2...CD is in my car and goes on whenever sports talk sucks
Joe Fergy Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 Trespass was good, but, without Hackett and Collins, I'd rate it behind the other Gabriel era albums. 320992[/snapback] I Agree but Peter, Rutherford, and Banks weren't to shabby
Joe Fergy Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 You're forgetting Steve Hackett who, believe it or not, has released more material than all the other ex-Genesis members combined. 321096[/snapback] You are right I just got tired of typing here are some more Brand X, Tony's solos and Mike's Small creeps day........
USMCBillsFan Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 KISS - Alive II 320940[/snapback] My second choice. (and my first album)
Rico Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 I would argue that Blood on the Tracks is his best, and is also considered by a few critics as one of the best albums ever made. It would also be a pretty good choice for this question. 321192[/snapback] I love BOTT, & it would definitely make my top 10 best ever. But Desire is more of a favorite to me... I'd take that to the island first.
Kelly the Dog Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 I love BOTT, & it would definitely make my top 10 best ever. But Desire is more of a favorite to me. 321224[/snapback] Then why did you say "Street Legal"? What's funny about that is I can never ever decide which one I like best between Street Legal and Desire. There are awesome tracks on both. I always thought that "Black Diamond Bay" was an entire movie in a 4 minute song (like "Jack of Hearts" in 8-10 minutes).
