Favorite albums

[Bastet]

And Smash of-course.

Ahh, now that brings back memories! :jam:

 

[Master Vigil]

I would say Dookie is by far the best Green Day album. The new one is good, but not as good. Insomniac is the second best in my opinion.

The blue album - weezer.

I agree that Metallica S&M is fantastic!!!! Michael Kamen is awesome.

And six degrees of inner turbulence by dreamtheater.

I used to love The Moody Blues. Anyone remember Nights in White Satin?
(Spoken)
Breathe deep the gathering gloom
Watch lights fade from every room
Bedsetter people look back and lament
Another day's useless energy's spent
Impassioned lovers wrestle as one
Lonely man cries for love and has none
New mother picks up and suckles her son
Senior citizens wish they were young
Cold-hearted orb that rules the night
Removes the colors from our sight
Red is grey and yellow white,
But we decide which is right,
And which is an illusion.

Joni Mitchell
Don Juan's Reckless Daughter

I have listened to it more times than I have eaten a meal.

Yes, Joni Mitchell is a super talent as a singer, guitar/piano player, composer, poet and painter. I am familiar with her earlier albums, but not this one. I will make a point to check it out.

Ah..........another of my favorites; I really must stay away from this thread; I'd be here an entire day!!!!!!!!!!!:jiggy:

One of my favorite Soundtrack/Showtune albums is Chess. Many of you might remember the hit "One Night In Bangkok" sung by the talented Murray Head. The album was written and composed by Tim Rice and Bjorn Ulvaeus and Benny Anderson (those guys from ABBA). It was a show that I missed when it was performed on Broadway but I do enjoy the music which centers on an American/Russian Chess Love Triangle.

I used to hear this one through my bedroom wall - lady_lazarus had it, and played it a lot. She's responsible for a lot of the music I like, actually.

While we're talking musicals - The Phantom of the Opera soundtrack, with the original London cast. I have quite a few Michael Crawford cds as a result of Phantom. I still find it hard to believe that puny Frank Spencer from 'Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em' has such a glorious voice.

I would admit that 38% of my album collection was inspired from friends or on the recommendations of others. Music I believe is probably one of the most precious gifts you can share with an individual.

A woman I worked with when I was employed with RECORD TOWN (not the ideal occupation to work if you enjoy music) used to turn me on to a lot of Broadway Theatrical soundtracks. Chess, Les Miserables, The King And I, Into The Woods, The Fantastiks, as well as The Phantom Of The Opera. Bastet have you seen the movie The Phantom Of The Opera?

 

[Bastet]

Bastet have you seen the movie The Phantom Of The Opera?

Depends on which movie we're talking about. There are a few. I haven't seen the most recent one to come out, but I saw one in the early '90s with Charles Dance as The Phantom. It was nothing like the musical version, as I hear this new movie is.

 

[cardero]

Your right there are many versions of this movie. I meant the recent one and if I am not mistaken isn't Michael Crawford playing in this movie?

 

[cardero]

Yes - Yes songs.
What a great album.

 

[Lightkeeper]

I have an old LP by the Ventures. Anyone remember Walk Don't Run. It's a great guitar instrumental.

 

[Lightkeeper]

I also have an old LP by Hot Butter. I don't think they did many albums, but they had a song called Popcorn, great instrumental.

GENESIS: SECONDS OUT

Not only is it one of my favorite albums from the Progressive Rock era it is also another favorite live album for me. Phil Collins steps in to fill in on drums and vocals and covers the missing Peter Gabriel on such hits as the Lamb Lies Down, Firth Of Fifth, Suppers Ready and Carpet Crawlers

I have their greatest hits I will check to see if the song is listed.

If he's in it, he's uncredited. I see no mention of him in cast or crew on IMDb. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0293508/

A Moment Of Revelation

The first two rock albums I ever listened to. Someone lent these to my sister but I intercepted them and life really wasn’t the same after that.

I believe Aerosmith Rocks was one great, expertly produced experiment. The sounds Joe Perry got out of those guitars were unheard of at the time and Steve Tyler was at his vocal best.

I would later see this band outdoors at the Orange County Speedway. This was the infamous performance where it was dark and thunder storming during their performance of Lightening Strikes.

Frank Zappa’s Joe’s Garage Act 1 should not have been an album for an 11 year old boy to listen to, I should have been baptized by Zappa at a much younger age. I learned all about touring, religion, social diseases, some girl named Lucille and much, much more all from that one album. Sadly it would take me another 10 years to listen to the follow up Frank Zappa’s Joe’s Garage Acts 2 and 3. Twelve years later I would get the chance to witness him in concert and perform INCA ROADS, my favorite Zappa tune. Nineteen years later I would become a follower on his career and music. The first time I wept for the death of another human was upon hearing of his passing. To this day I cannot look at a Watermelon on Easter Hay without thinking about him.

Joe's Garage,of course.

Ace Freiley's solo album

The soundtrack to Heavy Metal:jam:

Anything by Brian Eno
