How can you have a greatest hits album with only a few albums ever recorded?

Because those albums were all full of brilliant songs. Better than that boring old man music.

[rabblerouser]

Exile on Main Street - The Rolling Stones
Nevermind - Nirvana
Abbey Road - The Beatles

respect, though Yield or No Code woulda got my nod over Ten, and Powerage over Back In Black.

Stones - Exile on Main St.
Stones - Let It Bleed
Beatles - Self-titled (White Album)
Hendrix - Band Of Gypsys
The Black Crowes - The Southern Harmony & Musical Companion


Without question, my top 5 ROCK albums of all-time.

funny thing is, I'm probably younger than you.

I just know the difference between 'good' and 'crap'.

Like, I don't eat from a drive-thru. Good Charlotte, Korn, Limp Bizkit, et. al?? Drive-thru music.

Alice Cooper- Welcome To My Nightmare
Kiss- Alive
Marilyn Manson- Golden Age of Grotesque
Pearl Jam- Ten
Gin Blossoms- New Miserable Experience

HUGE Alice Cooper fan, LOVE WTMN ('Cold Ethyl' has some SICK guitar work) grew up in that shit. My faves are the early stuff - Pretties For You, Love It to Death, Killer, and Billion Dollar Babies - Dennis Dunaway = SICK freaking bassist.

As for Manson, I'm down with The New Shit, (s)Ain't, and mObscene from GAoG, but I mean, Antichrist Superstar and Mechanical Animals are so much more realized and more epic, and to me, it seems that those two albums have a depth that truly regards them as 'classic', wouldn't you agree??

Just found it odd that you would pick that particular one; I think that Antichrist Superstar was the apex of that whole industrial/goth-metal thing. And Mechanical Animals is like MM's 'Tusk' or 'Tunnel Of Love', insofar as they couldn't do their biggest record over; it had to be completely different. And that one, MA, was genius.

I just picked up Mechanical Animals on vinyl - 2 discs, one is 'Alpha' and the other 'Omēga', with the original tracklisting. My turntable LOVES it, haha!!

Alice is probably my favorite rock artist of all time although Kiss is very close. Saw him live for the first time on Fathers Day this year.

I love everything I've heard from MM but I don't have all his albums including Anti-Christ Superstar so I can't speak to that one. I've heard some of it. I mis spoke naming GAoG. I meant Holy Wood. That was the first Manson album I bought and I probably have some extra affinity to it for that reason... however I do completely love it. I like that it's more raw than a lot of his other stuff including Mechanical Animals. I like that one too I just prefer the more raw sound over the more produced. I think Eat Me Drink Me is fantastic too.

get Antichrist Superstar and Portrait of An American Family - easily the most 'raw' and 'industrial' of his entire catalog. If you like Holy Wood, you will LOVE Antichrist.

Also, I can send you mp3s of the Pre-Reznor mixes of Portait - probably the most raw Manson you'll ever hear. PM me your email.

Mechanical Animals might be my favorite; it has grown on me to the point where I consider it an 'essential' album. It's like a David Bowie/Thin White Duke for the new frontier or somesuchshit. It's ahead of its time, at least for me; I bought ot the day it came out and I'm just now starting to catch up to it.

[Rasputin]

Guns N Roses Chinese Demacracy

Primus Pork Soda

Primus Sailing the Seas of Cheese

Primus Green Naugahyde

Buckethead has over 50 albums to chose that all are my favorites.

Thanks man! Mechanical Animals is very good. I listen to it from time to time. I have Smells Like Children, Holy Wood, GAoG, Mechanical Animals and Eat Me Drink Me.

[siberian khatru]

Led Zeppelin III
Beatles- Abbey Road
Porcupine Tree- Lightbulb Sun
Days Of The New- II (Green Album)
Pink Floyd- DSOTM

Yummy.

I go back and forth on "Lightbulb Sun" and "Stupid Dream." Might depend on my mood.

[Steron]

Guns N Roses Chinese Demacracy


For reals? I thought some of it was OK. IMHO, it can no way compete with Appetite.

[Rasputin]

For reals? I thought some of it was OK. IMHO, it can no way compete with Appetite.

The more I listen to it the more I love it. Appetite was is great I just love the new GNR line up & think it's better than anything. Oh yeah it has Buckethead.

[Ming the Merciless]

1) metallica ride the lightning/killem all/master of puppets (pick 1)
2) led zeppelin II
3) black sabbath-paranoid
4) operation ivy - energy
5) sublime - 40 oz to freedom

[rabblerouser]

For reals? I thought some of it was OK. IMHO, it can no way compete with Appetite.

or even the Illusions. I mean, I have the record, and some of it sounds like the Dracula stuff in Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

Dude's a bug Buckethead fan, and he's pretty wizard-y with the guitar. I saw him do the nun-chucks solo, shit's crazy. But it's more 'shredd-y' guitar than the bluesy guitars of Izzy and Slash. I prefer Izzy and Slash.

Would prefer the original GN'R, but can't shit on the new line-up, either. Liked Brain better than Farrer, but DJ Ashba is a badass, so...it's apples and oranges, ya know?? Some people dig it...

At the end of the day, The only 'shredder'-type guitarists I'm into would be like, Van Halen, Dimebag, Al DiMeola, etc.

[DMAC]

Yummy.

I go back and forth on "Lightbulb Sun" and "Stupid Dream." Might depend on my mood.

I get ya. Right now I'm in more of an upbeat mood.

[Ming the Merciless]

Because those albums were all full of brilliant songs.

lol

you're trolling right?

[siberian khatru]

I get ya. Right now I'm in more of an upbeat mood.

"Russia on Ice" will bring you right back down. :D

[Cornstock]

Zep IV
Pink Floyd-Dark Side
Rush-Moving Pictures
Red Hot Chili Peppers-Californication

I really want to throw something more modern in there like White Stripes, The Killers, Radiohead, Muse, but I can't decide.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

The more I listen to it the more I love it. Appetite was is great I just love the new GNR line up & think it's better than anything. Oh yeah it has Buckethead.

And now we know the real reason...

:)

[DMAC]

"Russia on Ice" will bring you right back down. :D

Nah, it picks up at the end. I do listen to Don't Hate Me about once a month. Flute/Sax solos they need more of.

[frankotank]

I got a tie at 5th place....and don’t you ****ing laugh! I was born a poor black child and Flashlight is one of the greatest songs ever written!
if you don't know what I'm talking about - edumacate bitches!

Stevie Wonder – Song Review - A Greatest Hits Collection / Parliament Greatest Hits


EDIT - uh.....rock albums....shit.....Parliament & Stevie still kick major ass. SRV and BHT are blues..close enough....

[cosmo20002]

Correct answer is:

Aerosmith - Rocks (Toys in the Attic also acceptable)
Van Halen - II (Fair Warning also acceptable)
Led Zep - II
AC/DC - Back in Black (Highway to Hell also acceptable)
ZZ Top - Greatest Hits (too hard to pick one)

[BoneKrusher]

Ain't nothing wrong with Parliament. Or Funkadelic.

[Steron]

I am kinda shocked there is no White Zombie on anyone's list.

[frankotank]

Ain't nothing wrong with Parliament. Or Funkadelic.

except I just noticed the OP said rock.
I listened almost exclusively to KPRS until I was in high school.
any KC locals remember that station? twarn't too many white boys singing songs on KPRS!

[frankotank]

I am kinda shocked there is no White Zombie on anyone's list.

I dig 'em....but they don't make my top 5 fav albums.
Rob has new stuff out...

[Fat Elvis]

The Clash- Sandinista
Cheap Trick- Live at Budokhan (yes Dane, we know, but we still like it)
U2- Just consider everything from Under a Blood Red Sky to Achtung Baby one album....
Sasha and Digweed- Northern Exposure
Talking Heads- Speaking in Tongues

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

Correct answer is:

Aerosmith - Rocks (Toys in the Attic also acceptable)
Van Halen - II (Fair Warning also acceptable)
Led Zep - II
AC/DC - Back in Black (Highway to Hell also acceptable)

:thumb:

[teedubya]

AC/DC-Back in Black
Def Leppard-Pyromania
Guns 'n Roses-Appetite for Destruction
Metallica-S&M
Aerosmith-Permanent Vacation

Another album that is great but doesn't fit this category 100%
Oasis-What's the Story Morning Glory?

Actually Oasis was amazing, IMO. But, Definitely Maybe is their best effort. :evil:

It would be in my Top 10.

[DMAC]

I am kinda shocked there is no White Zombie on anyone's list.

If it's storming hard, and I'm driving in it, I put on El Phantasmo every time and turn that shit UP.

Scares the hell out of me.

Nickelback - Greatest Hits
Creed - Greatest Hits
Limp Bizkit - Greatest Hits
Good Charlotte - Greatest Hits
Lifehouse - Greatest Hits

How can you have a greatest hits album with only a few albums ever recorded?

a few?

Nickleback has 6
Creed has 4
Limp Bizkit has 5 and one remix album

the others ... well... .. enough to have a greatest hit album

[loochy]

Nickelback - Greatest Hits
Creed - Greatest Hits
Limp Bizkit - Greatest Hits

How can you have a greatest hits album with only a few albums ever recorded?

when you crap out gold records, it's really easy

[DJJasonp]

All across the spectrum here....

Joy Division/New Order - Substance (2 different "Substance" albums)
Boston - Boston
Green Day - Dookie
U2 - Achtung Baby
Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream

[Dartgod]

Any list that includes a greatest hits can't be the correct answer.

What about live albums? 'Cause Deep Purple's Made in Japan has to be on my list. If not, I'll just take Machine Head instead.

Plus...

Rush - 2112
Alice Cooper - Welcome to My Nightmare
Pink Floyd - Animals
Aerosmith - Rocks

[Rasputin]

And now we know the real reason...

:)

Hey now Axl put his stamp on it too, his vocals are great & all the songs are awesome. I think they all kick ass, Chinese Democracy is just on another level of music tallent.

I'm ready to hear what they put out with DJ Ashba & Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal

[rabblerouser]

Correct answer is:

Aerosmith - Rocks (Toys in the Attic also acceptable)
Van Halen - II (Fair Warning also acceptable)
Led Zep - II
AC/DC - Back in Black (Highway to Hell also acceptable)

Insert either Fandango or Tres Hombres for Greatest Hits and Powerage for BIB and I'll take it!!

I included Kiss "Alive" on my list. I'm just one who can't see a greatest hits album as something new or fresh in any way so to me they shouldn't count. There's no concept behind them other than making money. JMO. It wasn't defined that way in the OP so I guess anything is fair game.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

I think Loochy likes NIN.

...not positive though.

loochy is a male model with a pretty wife. Have you seen him? I hate him for it.

Buckethead has some beautiful songs that arn't about shredding he can play real emotional ballads. He plays great funk & has stuff with Bootsy Collins and Snoop Dog he is very diverse musician. Buckethead > Slash & Slash has been my favorite for a long time I just recognize a superior guitarist. Now I think Slash is over rated and he doesn't put forth the effort to push himself. He has drop off from his days in GnR & they all try to hold on to that fame with the band recognition and Slash and Duff arn't in it.

The RRHF was a joke they sold out & Axl didn't want any part of it.

how is it that you don't consider Kiss Alive a greatest hits album??
(I used to have every Kiss album on vinyl....I liked Alive II better - my fav Kiss album though is Rock And Roll Over with one of the coolest album covers ever)

No love for Saliva or Buckcherry?????

[Stewie]

For pure stupidity and fun, I'd pick:

5. Zappa-Joe's Garage
4. The Tubes - What Do You Want From Live?
3. Todd Rundgren - Something? Anything?
2. Tom Lehrer - An Evening Wasted
1. Stephen Lynch - A Little Bit Special

I wore that record out. It was a double album and I believe Rundgren played all the instruments.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

how is it that you don't consider Kiss Alive a greatest hits album??
(I used to have every Kiss album on vinyl....I liked Alive II better - my fav Kiss album though is Rock And Roll Over with one of the coolest album covers ever)

It is a greatest hits but it's live. I know... very small gray area. If you noticed I kind of backed off my "no greatest hits" stance earlier. I shouldn't have included Alive if someone else shouldn't include greatest hit but that's not defined here.

Rock and Roll over is good, I agree. As far as my favorite album cover I have to go with Dressed To Kill.

[rico]

Maybe just a little.

Maybe I also like Broken, but I couldn't put that in the list because it was too short of an album.

Awesome...NIN is my all-time favorite band. Have seen them live 6 times...1 of the 6 was up front at Lollapalooza 2009. Nobody does it like Rez. What's also cool about Reznor is that he has good taste in music with other artists...whenever I see a list of shit he is into or hear an interview of him giving some band props, I immediately check out the band and they are almost always awesome. I wasn't quite able to get into Throbbing Gristle...not sure what their even about, but the rest of his recommendations are superb. I was hooked from the first time I heard the song, "Burn" on an MTV commercial when I was 11 years old.

You must be crazy bitch.

Not gonna argue with any of that.

I have a Col. Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains show from '06 that is stellar.

I'm an Izzy guy anyway - his albums are fucking GREAT.

[cosmo20002]

How about when they stick 1 or 2 new songs onto the latest greatest hits package? That's a great move for fans. Not as big of a deal in the iTunes era, but I always hated that they made me buy a whole CD of songs I already had just to get the 1 or 2 new ones.

[loochy]

Loochy's #6 Album
http://images.uulyrics.com/cover/d/david-hasselhoff/album-very-best-of-david-hasselhoff.jpg

You know what? I have fond memories of music from the 'Hoff because Dirk Nowitzki likes the 'Hoff so they played his songs a lot during the Mavs finals runs. :thumb:

[loochy]

Broken is probably my fave - Wish/Gave Up as an opener = WOW.

I know! I love the metalish guitar riff sounds on that album, but it was just so weirdly short.

I like Burn too. It used to be my deadlift song back in college. Isn't 11 a little young to be raging out to a song like Burn?

[loochy]

I love Izzy Stadlin and the ju ju Hounds :thumb:

Col. Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains is beast.

[Easy 6]

I'm going to do a semi-spinoff of this thread, was listening to Boneyard on sirius the other day and heard about their contest where you win a chance to pick a five song block and wondered what i would play.

It differs a bit from my fave rock band picks, but oh well, i like this list.

How about when they stick 1 or 2 new songs onto the latest greatest hits package? That's a great move for fans. Not as big of a deal in the iTunes era, but I always hated that they made me buy a whole CD of songs I already had just to get the 1 or 2 new ones.

If it's a compilation that has alternate live tracks or outtakes, alternate versions, something where you can go 'I'm picking this because it has the live version of 'blah blah' and the single mix of 'woof woof'' or whatever, ya know??

But yeah, Greatest Hits are probably a cop-out.

Live albums are always fair game.

[Gadzooks]

I love Izzy Stadlin and the ju ju Hounds :thumb:

Col. Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains is beast.

Mr. KC Tattoo,

You must admit that the greatest Primus album was, indeed, the "Brown" album.

[Dayze]

You know what? I have fond memories of music from the 'Hoff because Dirk Nowitzki likes the 'Hoff so they played his songs a lot during the Mavs finals runs. :thumb:

many moons ago in my teens; I'd go over to my brother's house; he'd score me and my buddy beer; we'd drink and maybe smoke stuff. We'd watch American Gladiators, then after that show ended....

BAYWATCH NIGHTS was on. the most horrible show ever. Apparently, in Hoff's 'off time', he helped the police fight crime.

we were all broke, so it made for a great evening of fun.

[Bugeater]

Man, this was a tough one...

[rico]

I like Burn too. It used to be my deadlift song back in college. Isn't 11 a little young to be raging out to a song like Burn?

Lol, yes I was too young for that shit, but I always had a way of working around my parents. I saw a short clip of NIN performing "Burn" on MTV one day and all that I heard from the voice-over was that it was a band called Nine Inch Nails. From that point on, I was bound and determined to purchase the CD that had that song on it. At school the next day, I asked all of my friends at school about this band that I saw on an MTV clip called Nine Inch Nails and they were singing a song called "burn." I was hoping that one of them would be able to purchase the album from one of their older brothers or something. I asked them if they knew what I was talking about. Nobody did. I then began asking people who weren't my friends and finally stumbled upon some luck with a Dungeons and Dragons/Magic freak who was notorious for growing his fingernails out and sharpening them so he could use them as "weapons" if anyone tried beating him up. Not only did he know what band I was talking about, but he also knew some random facts about them, although he had never heard the song, "burn" nor did he know what album it was on. He told me that he believed the band got it's name from the length of the nails that pounded Jesus's hands to the cross being nine inches. A light bulb came on in my head almost immediately. My parents were Bible-thumpers. I was going to tell them about this new Christian band that I heard from one of my friends called Nine Inch Nails who's name was inspired by the nails which pounded Jesus's hands into the cross. I was going to ask them to buy the CD for me the next time we were at the mall together. And sure enough, the next time I was at the music store in the mall with my parents, I found one of their CD's (The Downward Spiral) and asked them to buy it for me like they promised. My mom said, "sure," and didn't bother to look at the CD or some of the names of their songs with questionable titles such as, "heresy," "Mr. Self Destruct," "march of the pigs," "ruiner," "big man with a gun," etc. I covered the "parent advisory" label with my thumb and while the clerk was ringing it up, my mom was pre-occupied by some (presumably) Trisha Yearwood CD's. Parents.....suckers. Rico.....score. Although I was a bit pissed because I couldn't find the song, "burn" on any of their albums. It took me years to discover that song was on the Natural Born Killers soundtrack...I was starting to think that I either imagined the song or perceived as something that it wasn't. I was happy with The Downward Spiral album though and proceeded to scheme ways to get my hands on Broken and Pretty Hate Machine and succeeded admirably. :thumb:

Guns N' Roses - Appetite for Destruction
Black Sabbath - Vol. 4
The Black Crowes - The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion
AC/DC - Back in Black
Alice in Chains - Dirt

I was pleasantly suprised to see The Black Crowes on a few lists. Very underrated group with so much talent and versatility. Was saddened the Robinson bros couldn't work out their shit and keep it going. Only release of theirs I didn't like was Lions. I really love Powerage, For Those About To Rock (We salute you), Highway to Hell and High Voltage from AC/DC.
I miss Layne Staley. Going to see Sabbath next month - saw them last year and Ozzy was better than on some of his recent solo efforts. Geezer and Tony are still great.
Not really interested in a Gn'R reunion if they don't bring the originals back (Izzy, Steven).

[Portlantis]

In no particular order:

David Bowie: Hunky Dory
The Talking Heads: Remain in Light
The Rolling Stones: Sticky Fingers
The Beatles: Revolver

"Rock" is being tossed around fast and loose in this thread.

[Toby Waller]

Siouxsie and the Banshees

-the Singles(1981)
yes,it counts. I didnt know anything about the Band or the music/subculture except for a couple songs on alternative L.A. radio stations between 83'-86'. I got this and listened to it many times and it lead to going to goth clubs in LA for 3 years,seeing bands like Janes Addiction up close every weekend. I saw Siouxsie and the Banshees 3 times.

Janes Addiction-
1st album,live recording,produced by triple X records...I was one of those people that knew about this band a year before any of you did...2 years ago I found out a good friend was the brother in law of Dean Naleway. One of the Triple X producers/founders who did the lighting for Jane's on tour.


Clash
-London Calling..the Led Zeppelin of the punk set

Roxy Music-Avalon
..yes,it belongs. Siouxsie, Adam and the Ants,all the punk bands in England went to their Gigs but of course their early stuff at the time was more experimental and artsy.

Sigue Sigue Sputnik-Flaunt it
LOL it doesnt really belong and I could interchange it with the Sex Pistols or the Dead Kennedy's or the Jam or something. But I enjoy pulling this out to shock people if they didnt know who they were or remind them if they did. I like it but not in the same way I like a Clash or Siouxsie album lol

[Rasputin]

I'm glad Appetite For Destruction is well represented in this thread because rumor has it fans are going get their wish. Slash and Axl on the same stage again. GNFR will return for a tour in 2016.

I know DJ Ashba has left the band and I wish he would have stayed but this is pretty much what fans want is the original lineup. I hope Bumblefoot is still a member he kicks ass.

Also rumors of new album(s) out next who the fuck knows?

[MOhillbilly]

i can't ever pick a top 5 out.

[BigMeatballDave]

"Rock" is being tossed around fast and loose in this thread.

Boom. Perfect list.

[BigChiefFan]

Jimi Hendrix Experience
Van Halen 1
Pink Floyd The Wall
The Beatles Abbey Road
Led Zeppelin 1

[Toby Waller]

someone start a top 5 songs already !!!!!!

[jimidollar]

Metallica-Master of Puppets
Queen-Queen II
Alice in Chains-Dirt
Queens of the Stone Age-Songs for the Deaf
Foo Fighters-The Colour and the Shape

[Saccopoo]

Because the standard list of:

Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon"
The Beatles "Sgt. Peppers"
Rolling Stones "Exile on Main Street"
Bob Dylan's "Blonde on Blonde"
Led Zeppelin "I through IV"
Radiohead's "OK Computer"
The Who's "Who's Next"

is just that - standard. We all know that those are magnificent albums. Also, all Smith and Cure and Tool albums are excluded based on the fact that they are generally regarded as awesome by just about everyone.

However, I'd like to provide Sac's "Deep Cuts" Version of the five best rock 'n roll records of all time:

1. The Modern Lovers - "The Modern Lovers"
- The best pure rock and roll album ever. Simple, raw and encompasses the purity of why you start a band in the first place - to get laid. It's insanely hip, intelligent, timeless and everytime I listen to it, it makes me want to get drunk as shit and pick up chicks. If I had a band, whether it was a country, metal, jazz, rock or whatever genre, I would cover at least four songs off this album. Recorded in 1971 and released in 1976. It's amazing that this album even exists as the band broke up, and Richman basically refused to do his earlier works and wanted the original recordings destroyed.

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/8KB_YzJH0Bk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

2. Nick Drake - "Pink Moon"
- The absolute quintessential singer/songwriter album. Every song just absolutely tears your guts out from an emotional perspective. Absolutely tortured poet soul who was light years beyond his contemporaries, I consider Drake and his Pink Moon as the musical equivalent of Melville's "Moby Dick." It sold only 5,000 copies when it was released in 1972, but has gone on to influence countless artists.

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/3sQv04CFSdE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

3. Prefab Sprout - "Two Wheels Good" (Steve McQueen)
- The absolute pinnacle of the '80's new wave sound. Brilliant musicianship, songwriting and production (produced by Thomas Dolby). It's rich and silky and emotionally deep with Paddy McAloon's amazing songwriting and vocals just making every track an absolute pleasure. 1985 was one of the greatest years in music ever.

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dlFyqniT34U" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

4. My Bloody Valentine - "Loveless"
- There's been a couple of occurances where I put on an album and the roof of my head has completely blown off. This is one. The massive wall of sound of guitar and synth driven distortion perfectly integrated with lush, shoegaze vocals results in one of the most amazing musical listening experiences I've ever had. Released in 1991, it was the second album by My Bloody Valentine and the last until 22 years later when they released "mbv" in 2013.

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/OrMjc4oz0mY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

5. Danzig - "Danzig II - Lucifuge"

I think it's fucking brilliant. Schlocky, chuggy metal coupled with some of the most amazing vocals ever heard. And I honestly can't stand anything else put out by Glenn. Don't like the Misfits and the rest of the Danzig albums suck. This one is insane though. Blues, good old Rock n' Roll and metal fused together perfectly in this 1990 release.

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ETZLhBwlSSk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Other considerations:
KMFDM "Angst"
Los Lobos "Kiko"
White Zombie "Astro Creep 2000"
The BoDeans "Love & Hope & Sex & Dreams"
The Cult "Love"
Steve Earl "I Feel Alright"

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.

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/upreJjwag0g" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

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.

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!

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.

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.

The Bee Gees fucking RULE.

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

[Pitt Gorilla]

The Bee Gees ****ing RULE.

Michael Jackson? He was the biggest game changer since Chuck Berry.Both appreciated a good bass line.

[EPodolak]

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.

[rabblerouser]

For pure stupidity and fun, I'd pick:

4. The Tubes - What Do You Want From Live?

That album is SO much fun!

[rabblerouser]

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

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.
