Great list right here.

My "popular" picks:

1. Aerosmith "Toys in the Attic"
- Walk this Way, Sweet Emotion, title cut, etc. Really a phenomenal album front to back.
And it spawned a classic CP thread. Aerosmith at their absolute best.

2. Black Sabbath "Paranoid"
- The best four songs to start an album, any album, in the history of music. I had this album when I was in sixth grade and I was scared to listen to it. Too much heavy, too much dark, too much. However, when I was in my early 30's, I was driving home from work and War Pigs came on and I had this revelation, an epiphany. The heavens opened and I realized how remarkable this album was. Gives me goosebumps when I listen to it.

3. Boston "Boston"
- Masterpiece of music. Innovative, both in structure and production and recording. Utilized a number of handmade projects of founder Tom Scholtz, such as the Rockman, that influenced some of the greatest albums in rock history. Vocals were insane and everything works to perfection. Every song is an absolute classic.

4. Bee Gees "Saturday Nigh Fever Soundtrack"
- The Gibb brothers, along with friends, created one of, if not the most memorable and greatest movie soundtrack albums in history. Right from the opening note, you know this is some special shit.

5. Michael Jackson "Thriller"
- Another near greatest hits album from one of the truly great artists at his creative peak. Eddie Van Halen, Paul McCartney make guest appearances. Genius.

I was just listening to Body Matter not 10 minutes ago...

Thread says Rock albums and some queer throws in the BeeGees and Michael Jackson.

ROFL

Both are in the RNR HOF

Wha? Really? Awesome!

I don't think we will do anymore promotion of that album unless someone great at videos comes along and offers services. (I've really been wanting that to happen).

I'm currently re-mixing our first EP while we write new material for the next.
You can always visit my soundcloud page where you can find me singing for other bands though!

:toast:

Shhh...some queers are ****ing stupid about music.

If you're using the RNR HOF to classify the Bee Gees as rock, I feel sorry for you.

Rock 'n Roll brushes a wide swath my friend.

No you don't, you uncultured heathen.

I respect your musical knowledge so I won't argue that.

I know many who wouldn't classify that any where near rock and roll, including my 60 year old man who's a huge music lover.

Don't know what else you would call it.

It's got every element of rock 'n roll that you could want.

Country?

Jazz?

Blues?

Or Rock 'n Roll?

Yep...rock 'n roll.

.....EVH guitar solo.

Sure, take the easy argument!

I'm talking about the Bee Gees you Disco loving Metrosexual!

RUSH - Signals

Iron Maiden - Piece of Mind

VH - VH1

Offspring - Smash

Cars - Cars

Just because you can dance to it and you aren't a stripper doesn't mean it's not rock and roll.

Bee Gees are just as much rock and roll as Opeth is - just because one is heavy and one isn't doesn't mean it's not rock. Hell, you could argue that the Bee Gees are substantially more similar to the roots of rock and roll than even a band like the Who, let alone the vast majority of metal bands.

Rock and Roll is a very large and encompassing classification.

basically anything thats youth culture.
but this folksy emo hipster crap is a downswing lately.

all the punk bands i've rechecked had guys in their 20s with deep voices,or unusual and throaty.
everyone sounds so wussy now

The Bee Gees ****ing RULE.

Michael Jackson? He was the biggest game changer since Chuck Berry.

Both appreciated a good bass line.

I'll go.
These five are worthy of an all-time list.

Leonard Cohen - Songs
Yes - Close to the Edge
Beatles - White Album
Led Zeppelin lll
The Pentangle - Basket of Light

Props to the poster that mentioned Pink Moon by Nick Drake.

That album is SO much fun!

The Beatles were probably a bigger game changer on more levels than Chuck Berry. Chuck was the catalyst...but a bunch of those early 50s Chess sides were written by Johnnie Johnson anyway. Chuck took a lot of credit, and he was a badass, no doubt...

But Chuck influenced the real game changers (The Beatles and Stones). The Beatles have sold 10 million copies of the White Album ALONE. Does Chuck have 10 million album sales, total??
I know London Sessions went Gold...

With all due respect, and I know they were influenced by Chuck (who wasnt?)
But by all accounts, by 1960 Chuck was in jail, Buddy Holly and Eddie Cochran were dead, and Elvis was in the Army. It was 'How Much is the Doggie in the Window' and Doris Day and Shit like that.

We have the Beatles and Stones to thank for bringing Blues, R&B, and Chuck Berry back to America and introducing that music to a generation that was not buying Chess or Sun Records until maybe after they read the credits to the Beatles and Stones records they picked up at the local Woolworths.

Look at the early Stones albums - Jimmy Reed, Muddy Waters, Bo Diddley, Howlin Wolf, Chuck, Chuck, and more Chuck.

If it weren't for the Beatles, Dylan may not have went electric. Hendrix, all that came after...Micheal Jackson doesn't even compare to the Beatles. He was just a game changer in the unit shifter way. He may have changed the way the business worked at the time, and he was a gifted singer who had a great sense of melody and timing. I had Thriller when I was a kid. It was great. When I was a kid. But I'll never actually put on a MJ record today. It's well produced and all, but...if I want to go back to that Era and style, Prince had 2 albums right around that time that shit all over anything MJ did after he left Motown.

If MJ influenced anything, he influenced the vacant, soulless pop dreck that the likes of Justin Timberlame and the guy who was with the Chili Peppers at the Super Bowl whose name I forget but whose music was way better when it was called 'The Police'. You know who I'm talking about. It's like 2 one syllable words or something. Bruno or something. He's terrible. I can hear (and see) some MJ in that guy.

So I guess MJ was a "game changer" of sorts...but not in a really good way, as far as I can tell. MJ created the likes of Lady Gaga. Someone else who everyone goes out of their way to convince people how good she actually is...and I'm like, 'nope. I've got too many other records to listen to.'

Plus, MJ liked to get his Jared Fogel on. **** that shit. And I know, so did Jimmy Page and Don Henley and Ted Nugent...but somehow, 16 hear old girls are different than 8 year old boys, Dude.

He was a pederast.

8 year olds, Dude.

:LOL: Awesome, Sac. Completely agree.

The Bee Gees song 'To Love Somebody' is freaking amazing, btw.
