I like the Tres Hombres suggestion, and and my Operation Mindcrime suggestion would be a 4 from Revolution Calling to Spreading the Disease.

My bid though is for the first side of King Crimson's Red: Red, Fallen Angel and One More Red Nightmare.

Disturber, thanks for the long list but I saw 2 errors; the REM album you refer to is Automatic For the People (one of my faves) not Monster. And, The Ramones song is Blitzkrieg Bop not Blitzkrieg Bob! :o:P

Nice calls mathman!

I was thinking about this thread late last week, and was mentally scanning my 10 or so "desert island" albums (which includes CT's debut), and this whole album qualifies for me.

This was and is an impossible album for me to pidgeon hole. Hard Rock? yes, kinda, but not really. Power Pop? - I wouldn't have called it that back then, and certainly not with the subject matter this baby covers. Punk? No, and was that even officially a term yet in Spring/Summer '77? Not a mainstream album by any measure either. Easy to see why it likely wasn't an easy listen for most, and certainly not the typical blues based, hard rock I usually went toward (huge fan of Aerosmiths' first 5 albums, as an example).

The Side A combos you've got work great, but Side 1, (Yes Virginia, the original album was marked "Side A" and "Side 1", I thought that was a riot back then), can run straight through all 5 songs as well - ELO Kiddies / Daddy Should Have Stayed In High School / Taxman Mr. Thief / Cry Cry / Oh Candy. How can you miss? Songs about teen angst, a pedophile, oppressive government, a broken relationship and a homosexual suicide, all surrounded by killer vocals and guitar tone! Fun for the whole family!

Someone said in a thread about a year ago, that we like music from a time when we were young and sexy, and this is an album that, whenever I think to play it, absolutely makes it the summer of 1977 again. Driving my '69 Corvair Monza Convert, riding my Yamaha Enduro, Quarter beer nights and wet T-shirt contests at places like "The Nickel Bag", "The Thirsty Whale", and "Haymakers" and lusting after Kim Vanko, (wonder what she looks like now at 55?, hmmmm).

So I'm working from the comfort of my laptop, thought I'd throw some music on, and almost immediately thought of this thread, and the BIG omission;

Montrose - Rock the Nation, Bad Motor Scooter, Space Station #5

Duh!
