The Wall or Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking.

No.2 on my list

Tough call for me... but this is definitely on my very short list!

I've worn out 2 cd and one cassette copy of this:

This is rock and roll. Without Johnny, there's no Guns N Roses, no Sex Pistols, no Mick Jones of the Clash, no Social Distortion, no Hanoi Rocks etc.

I still think of them as a local band. (And my homeys :)

Yes, I am the ugly one in the red wig.

Pop Musik by M - 1982.

Houses of the holy. I really like CSN and lots of Paink floyd. All of them are a little bit before my time.

F'ng Zelig:)

I'll be in your neck of the woods the first week in March. I'll PM.

Thought that I was making a nonstandard response. Cool that you are friends with Kiedis. Hot girls too.

Hmmm, dunno if it was the stage in my life when I first heard it or what, but this has always been at the top of my list;

I counted 67 of the top 100.

Damn. Gotta love Jane's. My brother's best friend played keys on their 2003 tour. I like that album a lot. Now he plays for Gwen Stefani :confused:

An impossible task. So I will have to say my most influential LP would have to be Muddy Waters live.

Pink Floyd
Dark side of the moon.

The girls tend to get pretty around him. He bought a new 996 turbo w/ X-50 on my prompting a few years ago, he loves that car. Good, down-to-earth dudes they are. :cool:

Another Dark Side of the Moon fan here. Second would be Emerson Lake and Palmer, one of their early albums like Meddle or Pictures.

Buckley was/is a big Radiohead influence, as you probably know.

Best,

The Beatles Revolver.

Basically, there was Revolver and everything that came after.
This was the Beatles Album that inspired it all. Released in 66, the lads from
Liverpool were at the total cutting edge of pop-near-pyschedelia which set up
the Summer of Love in 67, and everything that came after.

This is the album that inspired Brian Wilson to write Pet Sounds. This was the
album that the Beatles reached the top of their creative peak, and featured
not only AMAZING songwriting, but incredible production, complete state-of-the
art innovative sound from George Michael, Geoff Emerick and Co. at Abbey Rd.

I was just listening to "Tomorrow Never Knows" which quite possibly is the
Birth of Heavy Metal... ....Revolver is the Greatest Rock Album of all time.
There is the aptly named Revolver, and everything that came after.

Trax:

1. Taxman - Beatles get funky lead by George Vox and Paul's Ripping Gtr. Solo
2. Eleanor Rigby - note the Bernard Hermann-esque string arrangement
3. I'm Only Sleeping - vintage John Lennon, introspection
4. Love You To - George's first foray into Eastern Mysticism
5. Here, There and Everywhere - Perfect Paul Optimistic Love Song
6. Yellow Submarine - Ringo gets to chip something in. Catchy sing along.
7. She Said, She Said - Lennon LSD inspired based on Peter Fonda party quote also first Beatles track with Paul's bass up front as requested by McCartney after hearing American Motown records.

8. Good Day Sunshine - Impeccible Harmonies and overall Sunny Vibe
9. And Your Bird Can Sing - cool double harmony lead guitars, very innovative for the day.
10. For No One - Paul and his Piano. Nothing Beats it.
11. Doctor Robert - Ode to NYC doctor who was early prescriber of LSD
12. I Want to Tell You - Note the cool fade-in and dissonant Em9 chord in pre-chorus. George touching Indian influences + power pop
13. Got to Get You into My Life - Beatles first use of Horns as Backing Track.
14. Tomorrow Never Knows - Birth of Heavy Metal. Innovative use of the studio as an instrument. Lennon singing through the Leslie. Great Ringo Power Groove.

This came out before I was born...but had i been 15 in 1966 and heard this album, I surely would have been smoking Endo and popping LSD within the next year. :D

Wow, I knew that George Michael was talented, but producing Revolver @ the age of three? Friggin' amazing. :eek:

Hehehehe... George Martin would slap you for that Freudianism. In some impeccable British upper-class way, of course. :)

Revolver is great, but the album that proceeded it would be my *desert island* Beatles record, Rubber Soul.
