Eric Weston Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Did nobody pick anything by Zeppelin? (To be fair, neither did I in my list). Do Hamer player have a natural aversion to this band? Granted, Jimmy Page is pretty sloppy, but his songwriting and parts can be pretty magical. I would vote for "Houses of the Holy" if only it could lose "The Crunge" and "D'yer Maker". I'm still a total Zep-head......I can & do listen to EVERY album top to bottom......even Coda!!! BUT I've just listened to a local band's cd on the drive to my gig last nite...kinda rock, kinda country, kinda pop every song on it is good.....

Rhys Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 If I put an album on I'll always listen to it all, the way the artist intended. The only way I listen to one or two songs by different people is when I decide to have a session with my 7" & 12" vinyl singles collection. I also never buy "Best of" compilations - I either like a band enough to buy the proper albums or not at all. I absolutely hate all this ipod "download-a-few-tracks-from-an-album-shuffle-play" shit. No wonder music has become so devalued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bass Guy Dave Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Any Bon Scott-era AC/DC to remind me of the essence of the 'modern' rock era after Little Richard and such in the 50s. (ala-- good times)Preist's Screaming for Vengeance, Point of Entry (Nothing wrong with British Steel, Hell Bent,Sad wings, etc just I could be tempted to skip a song or two at times) Earlier stuff was pretty revolutionary and some great tunes...I just think they hit their stride at this point and had a nice variety of tunes between these. (also helped that I was 12 at this time..perfect timing)King's X "Ear Candy" Brilliant album that has a bit of everything on it. No wasted notes, solid grooves, meaningful lyrics and just crazy overall talent. Great loud.Keb Mo "Just like you" Kinda like the above record, just from a bluesy guy.top of the head, there. Have to think on some more (and check out a few listed here) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceeb Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 U2 - War and Joshua TreeLucinda Williams - Carwheels on a Gravel Rd (one of the best of all time IMO)Most any Who albumSkynyrd Nothin' Fancy+1 on Matthew Sweet - GirlfriendI'll cheat with a few compilations:ZZ's 1st greatest hits Steely Dan's 1st Best OfSqueeze - 45s and underBefore the ipod, there were bands that I liked their entire catalog, now I skip over a lot of tracks, some because the radio wore them out, others because it doesn't strike me right then. Luckily I have about 7,000 songs, so it's not long before something strikes me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brooks Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I actually like the ipod "download-a-few-tracks-from-an-album-shuffle-play" shit.even before i had an ipod, i always made mix compilations (tapes for years, then cd's). as for "downloading a few tracks from an album" devalueing music; well, i disagree. i've downloaded songs in the last few months by bands that i'd NEVER buy a full album from (slipknot, bee gees, machine head, hot chocolate, primus, sir mix-a-lot, testament, white stripes, etc). i might only dig a tune or 2, so w/ itunes i can just buy what i want from those artists (instead of NEVER buying ANYTHING from them). the only time i really listen to a whole album nowadays is the 1st week or so after i buy it. all that said, some albums that i think hold up all the way thru are;zep - physical grafittisabs - sabbath bloody sabbathscofield - a go go will bernard - blue plate specialcharlie hunter - charlie hunterthin lizzy - live & dangerousac dc - highway to hellVH - fair warningpantera - Far Beyond the Great Southern Cowboy's Vulgar Hitsrush - spirit of radio*yes, the last 2 are greatest hits, and yes, they are good all the way thru (more so than any of their "proper" albums, IMFO)...
