Been reading what’s on everyone’s turntable tonight and got to wondering…what’s your top 5?
Here’s mine: Dire Straits-Dire Straits Fleetwood Mac-Tusk The Police-Ghost In The Machine Eric Clapton-Unplugged Tom Petty-Wildflowers And All the Rest
Royal Ballet RCA 6065-45 Art Pepper, Meets the rhythm section APJ 010-45 Pink Floyd, Dark Side 30th Anniv. Ed. 2003 Carole King, Tapestry Classic Record 45rpm. The Who, Live at Leeds, Classic Records
Music: Dark Side of the Moon; Maynard Ferguson, Live In New York; Zappa, Apostrophe/Overnight Sensation. Jean Pierre Rampal: Jazz for Piano and Flute. Recording quality: Rosie O'Grady's Good Time Jazz Band, D to D from Orlando. Sheffield D to D: Harry James, Coming From A Good Place. Sheffield D to D: Thelma Houston, Pressure Cooker. Charles Lloyd: Forest Flower (As far as I remember).
unreceivedogma, If you hadn't mentioned Baxter's and Sandy you would have been permanently on my sh-t list. Is it RT's dark sense of humor that you don't like? Listen to or watch 1000 years of popular music. Listen to RT play the bass and melody lines simultaneously. Jorma is a brilliant folk guitarist. RT is frigging unbelievable.
My top fifteen; some are chosen for SQ, some for musical merit over SQ. No Jazz or Classical here...that would be too tough!
The Band - The Band (their pinnacle for both) Ry Cooder - Jazz (Paradise And Lunch has better songs). Jimi Hendrix - Rainbow Bridge (I'd pick Axis for music, but RB has way better sound) Grateful Dead - Blues For Allah (Side 1 medley takes all cakes) Little Feat - The Last Record Album (you want bass?) Mahavishnu Orchestra - Inner Mounting Flame (Apocalypse for SQ) Joni Mitchell - Hejira (Blue for music) Van Morrison - His Band & Street Choir (Moondance is better, but SQ lacking) Pink Floyd - The Wall Rolling Stones - Beggar's Banquet (Let it Bleed toss up) Rod Stewart Gasoline Alley (I have a Polydor set of his 3 1967-1970 LPs on a clean UK pressing) Talking Heads - Remain In Light (pure genius) Junior Wells - Hoodoo Man Blues (best blues album evah!) Neil Young - Harvest Frank Zappa - The Grand Wazoo (has it all)
