charlesod Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 not at all. the last waltz the first of the great rock films. anything pertaining to dylan in any respect automatically qualifies. I saw the Band, the Grateful Dead and the Allman Brothers at Watkins Glen the summer of 1973. There were over 500,000 people there. From what I remember of it (memory impaired for obvious reasons) the Band blew the others out of the water. A year later I saw them with Bob Dylan. The best musicians together with the best poet of our generation. They really set the bar. Levon Helm recently died. Nobody will ever sing, "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" like Helm.

hainsworth Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 Sorry if this list is really long, but there are so many albums that have had a huge affect on me. Many of these albums have affected me due to the lyrical nature of the songs, and the composition which can literally transport you to another universe. Quite a few of these albums, I heard during my childhood (Predominately during 2000-05), when my Mum + Dad used to play them pretty much on rotation, so they always remind me of my younger days. Others are either my first introduction to the band or are purely my favourite albums. So hopefully this proves to the oldies that there are many teenagers and young adults out there that don't listen to the same generic crap! So, here goes! Barry Adamson - Oedipus Schmoedipus The Beatles - Abbey Road Bill Callahan - Apocalypse The Black Angels - Passover The Black Keys - Brothers Bloc Party - A Weekend In The City Bob Dylan - John Wesley Harding Bob Dylan - Infidels Bob Dylan - Oh Mercy Buena Vista Social Club - Buena Vista Social Club Chris Rea - Wired To The Moon The Cruel Sea - The Honeymoon Is Over Dirty Three - Dirty Three DJ Shadow - Endtroducing The Drones - Wait Long By The River And The Bodies Of Your Enemies Will Float By Ed Kuepper - Character Assassination EELS - Daisies Of The Galaxy EELS - Beautiful Freak EELS - Live With Strings EELS - Hombre Lobo Gil Scott-Heron - Pieces Of A Man Grinderman - Grinderman Jane's Addiction - Nothing's Shocking The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion - Acme Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti Leonard Cohen - Songs Of Leonard Cohen Neil Young - Harvest Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Tender Prey Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - The Boatman's Call Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - The Abattoir Blues/The Lyre Of Orpheus Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Dig Lazarus Dig Palace Music - Viva Last Blues Patti Smith - Easter PJ Harvey - To Bring You My Love PJ Harvey - Uh Huh Her PJ Harvey - Let England Shake The Police - Synchronicity Rowland S.

bassman Posted August 7, 2012 Posted August 7, 2012 What happened to the Miles Davis album, ******* Brew? It's a title. You're censoring now?

I was also at Watkins Glen. Great time. Grateful Dead opened, then The Band set up. A huge thunderstorm delayed their set. When the rain stopped they opened up with "Don't Do It" and played a fabulous set. 1
phoenix Posted August 9, 2012 Author Posted August 9, 2012 Chicago I. If "Baby What A Big Surprise" hadn't been such a nauseatingly big 'hit' I would have discovered this band much sooner. Desert Island LP and easily in my Top 5.
hoyopr Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 Truly amazing, one of the most "profound" musical pieces I've heard. Here's the first part of that concert : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKJHZd_TT_k The LP : Thanks for posting this Nino, I haven't played any vinyl in years and have some of his albums, but not this one. A great concert for sure, enjoying it very much.
hoyopr Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 When I was 16yrs old, I had a summer job working for a moving company. On one move the family's son who was old (probably early 20's)got his component stereo set up while we were hauling stuff into their new home. This was what came out of his speakers and I had never heard anything like it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRctHwXFiJw I was was blown away by the sound and asked him what it was. He said "Jazz" The album was "California Concert" the Hollywood Paladium It took me a couple of years to find it, but when I did I then began buying the albums of the musician on it and fell in love with another musical style. In the Words of Frank "Music Is The Best"
Scdalak Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 One of the great things about the Forum is the wide scope of age/generational ranges represented. I know there are many 70's, 80's children here Maybe a few 50's? (Ken??), all of your worthy choices reflecting these decades. Although in 1977 I was still too young (8) to enjoy it, Steely Dans AJA was a a classic, timeless breakthrough album that changed in studio recording forever. A unique blend of jazz, pop, rock, with funky grooves, razor sharp harmonies and lyrical mind candy that played infinitely would never tire. The tracks are incredibly deep and complex, uplifting feel good music. I was surprised it had not been mentioned yet on the thread! Curious to hear if anyone else 30 and over feels the same.
Paneotto Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 AJA was performed by the best studio musicians in the world. Technically, it is a perfect record. Steve Gadd shines most brightly.
Frofro Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 I hope I'm not interrupting a particular flow here, but I've got to mention a bit of classical... Robert Carver 'O bone Jesu', a 19-voice motet, you can find it on 'Carver: Scottish Renaissance Polyphony'. Incidentally, it's also on a loop at Stirling Castle if you go into the Great Hall. I played this to a friend of mine (who used to be a lute teacher, of all things) and he loved it so much he bought the album online there and then. The album is superb, but that motet makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end. 'Palestrina: Missa l'homme arme' (Naxos), because aside from the beauty of the title piece, this album drew me into medieval and renaissance music, where I've been happily ensconced for years now. Finally... 'Anon. Paris expers Paris', an album of music from the School of Notre Dame. I love all of this music, but the performances on this album make me honestly feel like I'm floating. Anyway, apologies if I've jumped in...

Aja is a classic, but for me The Royal Scam is THE Steely Dan album. Funny story. The pedal steel guitarist I play with is good friends with Dean Parks, who did the guitar solo on the song Haitian Divorce. He did the solo, Becker & Fagen said great & Dean left. Becker & Fagen then replayed the solo through one of those Peter Frampton voice box vocoders. First Dean Parks knew about it was when he heard the song on the radio.Such is the life of session musicians. 1
Colt45 Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 I hope I'm not interrupting a particular flow here, but I've got to mention a bit of classical... Anyway, apologies if I've jumped in... No apologies necessary - Classical can be extremely moving. And Jazz. And.... (I've been re-listening to Mutter's Carmen Fantasie CD as of late and still find it incredible) 1
