Thread: best album of all time

Skyhooks...Living in the 70's

Have to agree with driver.
When I was a kid I thought Meatloaf's bat out of hell was a real balltearer, not a bad song on it. I listened to it last time I did a long car trip alone. Don't have the same opinion anymore.:confused: :confused: :confused:
nowadays anything by Dire Straits is ok by me.

Nighthawks at the Diner - Tom Waites
Heart Attack and Vine - Tom Waites
The Wall - Pink Floyd
Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd
Buena Vista Social Club - Ry Cooder
LZ IV - Led Zeppelin
plus the other 300 best albums of all time I own..

I'm confused - they haven't made music since 1976 have they?

Actually, that is a quote from my (younger) sister. Me, I reckon they stopped about 1979

Deep Purple - darned near any one of their later discs.

But then again, there's John Williamson

Yup, I like all sorts

Geez Shed ill have to throw you a greenie another tom waits fan and a bit of ry cooder thrown in. Something makes me think youd have a few little feet lp`s as well

Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick (1972)
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here (1975)
Neil Young - Harvest (1972)
Pearl Jam - VS (1993)
Pink Floyd - Animals (1977)
The Who - Quadrophenia (1973)
Bob Dylan - Blood on the Tracks (1975)
Led Zeplin - LZ 4

Californication is damn fine album but didn't quite make it.

There are two sound tracks which I think are just outstanding. That is Until the End of the World and Dead Man Walking.

Showing my age I'm afraid.

Powder Finger "Vulture Street"

Are you referring to the Quadrophenia soundtrack album

or the double gatefold rock opera album with the booklet in the middle ?

(both are classics by the way)

Oh I want to put in another one

Curtis Mayfield - Superfly Soundtrack 1972

Oh and Stirlo, between Curtis Mayfield, George Clinton and Sly Stone you will find out where RHCP got their influences

My youngest brother saw him in Melbourne quite a few years. He took his guitar to get autographed. Kottke invited him backstage after the show and was so impressed with little brother's playing (in the Kottke style) that they had a jam session. He's also a big fan and adept of Robert Fripp (King Crimson).
