Members Johnny'sGotTheBlues Posted November 4, 2009 Members Share Posted November 4, 2009 Kind of Blue is a boring album, save for a couple tracks.John Coltrane- A Love SupremeSonny Rollins- The BridgeJohn Lee Hooker and Canned Heat- Hooker and HeatLed Zeppelin- Physical GraffitiMos Def- Black on Both Sides. You got off to a smoking start but fell down at album 4. Led Zep - IHendrix - Electric Landlady (or R U Exp) Who the {censored} is Mos Def???? EDIT: I think I have to sub Giant Steps for A Love Supreme and some compilation (since albums didn't exist back then) of Charlie Parker's for Rollins. And Hooker and Heat has to go too. The Hooker LP was great but the Heat portion lacked editing. (I remember it from a double disc album - I have no idea how they packaged it on CD). I'd sub Beggar's Banquet for than one.

Members simplestargazer Posted November 4, 2009 Members Share Posted November 4, 2009 Yeah, Gould was pretty eccentric, but I think that just adds to the magic of that recording, don't you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members imgooley Posted November 4, 2009 Members Share Posted November 4, 2009 You got off to a smoking start but fell down at album 4. Led Zep - I Hendrix - Electric Landlady (or R U Exp) Who the {censored} is Mos Def???? I have a wide and varied palette for music The reason why I picked the albums I did is because they all have deeper meaning to me aside from what they are musically. I stand by Physical Graffiti, though, that's my favorite Zep album, tied with II.I was going to put Hendrix up, but I couldn't decide which album to pick I could have listed a ton others, like Blind Willie McTell- Atlanta Twelve String, Booker White- Parchman Farm, Johnny Shines- Too Wet to Plow, Mississippi Fred McDowell- I Don't Play No Rock and Roll, Hound Dog Taylor- Beware of the Dog, Keef Hartley Band- Halfbreed, Ry Cooder- Ry Cooder, John Lee Hooker- Free Chicken and Beer, The Black Keys- The Big Come Up, The Beatles- Let It Be, Busta Rhymes- Anarchy, Dr. Dre- The Chronic 2001, Slayer- Hell Awaits, the list goes on and on. So I went with albums that hold a special place in my heart Also, this is Mos Def:1bgKZ7HOWI4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members telephant Posted November 4, 2009 Members Share Posted November 4, 2009 I cant rank bands/albums. {censored} all that {censored}. It depends on my mood, and it's changes all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Johnny'sGotTheBlues Posted November 4, 2009 Members Share Posted November 4, 2009 Well, wide and varied is my middle name too...I like Bartok and Alban Berg fer instance and I played Viola Da Gamba in University in a Renaissance Music Ensemble.Ok, now that I've finished dropping names........I too picked albums that hit me at a special time. That's why Zep 1 is on the list instead of Zep 4 or 2.Charlie Parker NEVER fails to give me goosebumps.And Little Walter isn't far behind (for me), Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members imgooley Posted November 4, 2009 Members Share Posted November 4, 2009 EDIT: I think I have to sub Giant Steps for A Love Supreme and some compilation (since albums didn't exist back then) of Charlie Parker's for Rollins. And Hooker and Heat has to go too. The Hooker LP was great but the Heat portion lacked editing. (I remember it from a double disc album - I have no idea how they packaged it on CD). I'd sub Beggar's Banquet for than one. There are 2 different Hooker n Heat albums. Ones called "The Best of Hooker n Heat" and the other one is just "Hooker n Heat". The latter is Johnny Lee being accompanied by Canned Heat, they don't sing at all, and they do all Johnny Lee songs. Al Wilson on harp is amazing, IMO, one of the best harp recordings in blues that there is. I love Giant Steps, and I love Charlie Parker, but A Love Supreme makes me cry, it's so beautiful. And Rollins' version of God Bless the Child, and Jim Hall's playing on that record are monumental. There's a reason why Rollins was/is the Saxophone Colossus. Beggar's Banquet is definitely my favorite Stones album, by far, but I'm not a huge Stones fan. Jigsaw Puzzle and Parachute Woman are not that great of songs for me Also:37WQKXeSkqs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members telephant Posted November 4, 2009 Members Share Posted November 4, 2009 Ya, that's a given. What's your mood this minute is what we're askin? I'm halfass watching a movie at the moment, but I'd say Joshua Bell's take on Tchaikovsky. Maybe some Thelonious Monk afterward. I'm not in my typical rock/groovin' metal/blues/funk/etc mood right now. Although Hank III is always pretty {censored}ing appealing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members FlamingFrets Posted November 4, 2009 Members Share Posted November 4, 2009 Okay, I'm going to give this a shot.Between the Buried and Me - ColorsSikth - Death of a Dead DayGorguts - ObscuraMuse - Origin of SymmetryThe Number Twelve Looks Like You - MongrelThis list will likely change in five minutes, but this is a decent list of five albums that have influenced me tons, so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LP50 Posted November 4, 2009 Members Share Posted November 4, 2009 It depends on my mood, and it's changes all the time.This, for the most part. But, for now I'll go with:1) Speedometer - Private2) Ben Neill - Automotive3) Miles Davis - Kind Of Blue :poke:4) Frank Morgan - City Nights Live At The Jazz Standard5) Steve Roach - Light FantasticBasically in order... but can change with my mood. None of them have guitar in them, interestingly enough. As for #3 - There's a reason it's the #1 selling jazz album of all time, and it's not because it's boring, or because people are name dropping to look cool.
