Guest galejt Posted June 27, 2005 Posted June 27, 2005 A Steve Kimock compilation I put together from legal downloads off the Web. I know I'm old school but that is NOT an album. Also greatest hits albums are bogus too. JMO Still, in my opinion, it is a perfect (album, CD, little electrons from my 'puter) for Guitar. For a licensed, RIAA approved, commerically available source I pick Christopher Parkening, Simple Gifts, EMI (CDC-7-47525-2), but it is a collection of "hits", so I foul out again.
tbabinec Posted June 27, 2005 Posted June 27, 2005 roy buchanan - first 2 polydor albumshowlin wolf - moanin' at midnight/howlin wolf(rocking chair) -- ok,a collection of singles, but that's what albums were back then, andthese tunes launched dozens of bands.fugazi - steady diet of nothing & in on the kill takerbb king - singin' the blue/the blues - again, singles. Not a thousandnotes per minute, just the right notes.
MCChris Posted June 27, 2005 Posted June 27, 2005 Agree with many already posted, plus these:Red Hot Chili Peppers, "Blood Sugar Sex Magik"Sweet, "Desolation Boulevard"Gov't Mule, "Gov't Mule"Thin Lizzy, "Johnny the Fox," "Bad Reputation"Motorhead, "1916"
darc Posted June 27, 2005 Posted June 27, 2005 There are so many albums that come to mind, many of which I haven't listened to in so many years... I only mention this one because it's a weird coincidence: I had lent it to someone for a couple of months, and when I got it back last week and put it in the CD player, the very thought that ran through my head was, "the more I listen to this, the more I'm convinced that it is the perfect album." And the album is... (drumroll...) Dancing Naked in a Minefield, M.I.R.V. Way off the beaten path, I know, but no matter how hard I try to play this album to death, it always gets me smiling and moving. Heavy, virtuosic, funky, funny as hell, cohesive as a proper "album" should be, but packing tons of variety. Has to be one of the most interesting productions of the last decade (certainly as much among those I've had the privelege to hear.) I think these guys are defunct but I can't stop evangelising.

Okay, I'm intrigued. How do I get my grubby mitts on this one? -Jonathan

darc Posted June 27, 2005 Posted June 27, 2005 Jonathan - not an endorsement for the site, just literally the 1st purchase point Google turned up:http://www.interpunk.com/search.cfm?what=2...chfor=PopSmear&I'll have to ask my wife where she found my new copy (what a hip xmas gift!) after the one I bought at the gig was "permanently borrowed". Maybe right there at Interpunk for all I know.
tbabinec Posted June 27, 2005 Posted June 27, 2005 Saw a couple mentions of The Cult. Surely theirbest and best-sequenced album is Sonic Temple.
JohnnyThunders Posted June 28, 2005 Posted June 28, 2005 Peter Green End of the Game is one of the best all time guitar albums and its like not punk...metal or blues kind of jazz like love it.
darc Posted June 28, 2005 Posted June 28, 2005 Jonathan - back re: Minefield. My wife was embarrassed to admit (after I implied that Minefield was such a rare find LOL) that she bought it on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detai...=music&n=507846 Reviewers say 5 stars and I agree. I also read that Robin Zander is a fan and these guys toured with CT at one point (near-HFC content.) But if you buy don't expect an "important" album. Crank up the subwoofer and your sense of humor.
jwhitcomb3 Posted June 28, 2005 Posted June 28, 2005 Thanks Darc!I'll try out the local shops first and resort to the web if I can't find it. -Jonathan

serial Posted June 28, 2005 Posted June 28, 2005 I wasn't ever a big fan of Sonic Temple-"Electric" just is about as perfect an album to me as you can get.

darc Posted June 29, 2005 Posted June 29, 2005 Paranoid is my least favorite (early) Sabbath album. It's like the caricature portrait of Black Sabbath with toon-tunes like Iron Man etc. Shame that's all some people have ever heard. I'm a sucker for the more progressive stuff like Sabotage, but even where the primitive heavy stuff is concerned I'd take Master of Reality or Volume 4 over Paranoid any day. The first album is a heavy hitter just in terms of sounding hauntingly British. Hard for me to be objective about *any* Sabbath pre-Technical Ecstacy or so since those albums are all I listened to as a kid.(Don't get me wrong though, Planet Caravan, Hand of Doom, Jack the Stripper... fabulous stuff.)(Oh then there's War Pigs... ah forget it, I love everything this band did until about '78.)
Hackubus Posted June 29, 2005 Posted June 29, 2005 GnR - Appetite For Destruction hardly a clunker on there IMHO, perfect bookends of tunes (WTTJ & Rocket Queen)VH IAerosmith - RocksFailure - Magnified
