Made me wonder why I still haven't got around to getting hold of Eat a Peach by the Allmans, and many more that others mentioned.
My trouble is that I couldn't possibly pick 5 favourite albums. It varies from week to week, and we've just got too many to pick from. :shock:
Some years ago I owned a small business selling music on CD (mostly classical, with some jazz and blues). So before I moved on to other adventures I looted the shelves and put together what I thought was a reasonable representative selection of some of the best music through the ages.
It's not stored all that neatly right now….but if it was it would probably look a bit like this:
Adam (ballet score for Giselle) rubbing shoulders with
Atkins (Chet)
Albeniz (Spanish guitar music) and
Armstrong (Louis)
Bach and Beethoven get quite a stretch of shelving and would be happily chatting to Bechet (Sidney) Basie (Count) and Brubeck (Dave) - so long as they could hear themselves above the singing of Bartoli (Cecilia)..
At a quick count, Mozart (Wolfie) rates a hefty 49 CDs (bound to be some more if I look hard enough…) and could swap jokes with Mahler (Gus), Miller (Glenn), Mayall (John) and Morrison (Van) among many others….
Charles (Ray) would snuggle up to
Chopin (Fred)
And
Fitzgerald (Ella) could be seen lurking with
Franck (Cesar) and
Floyd (Pink)
Shostakovich, Smetana, and Scriabin would probably be asking Springsteen (Bruce) and Sims (Zoot) why there were no Stones (Rolling), although they'd eventually find 4 old LPs in the neglected vinyl section.
And on and on… eight hundred or more in all (Edited out: over-optimistic figure.)…. winding up with Wagner (Richard) ranting away at Waller (Fats) and Young (Neil).
How the heck could I pick 5 from that lot??
Am I just boasting? SURE I AM! But it's a constant joy to have such a great collection of distilled genius at my fingertips. I haven't listened to more than about half of them yet, but am looking forward to catching up with the rest in my dotage (which officially starts next year if my calculations are correct).
Bit short of 21st Century stuff though.
Anybody recent worth listening to, or is it all down to the video clip now?
I'll second Everybody knows this is nowhere by Neil Young
Eat a peach- Allman Bros, love Melissa and Little Martha
My Aim is True - Elvis Costello
Darkness on the Edge of Town - Bruce Springsteen
Sandinista - The Clash
Europe '72 - Grateful Dead
Murmur - REM
"This song starts off kinda slow then fizzles out altogether" Neil Young
I swear, I had my list made up before I saw Ovation's. But I must admit, that's some darn good taste in music.
1) Born To Run - Springsteen (all because of Thunder Road and Backstreets)
2) Live Bullet - Bob Seger (Soundtrack for anyone who went to high school in Michigan in the 70's)
3) Armed Forces - Elvis Costello
4) London Calling - The Clash
5) Joshua Tree - U2
Blame it on the lies that killed us, blame it on the truth that ran us down.
In no particular order
Springsteen - Live '75 - '85 ( saw him in '87 and it's still the best gig I've ever been to)
Santana - Shaman
G 'n' R - Appetite for Destruction
Dire Straits - Making Movies
Gary Moore - Still got the Blues
Well they are this week...
The only thing that keeps me from realising my full potential is the depressing awareness that it wouldn't take much time or effort...
Funny, as much as I've always loved the Beatles, I can't think of one album of theirs that I love more than the above....but they're always there when you need them.....
:D :D :D

OMG!! The garbage (garage if we were better) band I was in just out of high school went by the name Cheap Thrills. Assuming they were first (we gigged in around 88 or 89, sure am glad we didnt make it big with that name. LOL... Never heard of em.
Geoo
“The hardest thing in life is to know which bridge to cross and which to burn” - David Russell (Scottish classical Guitarist. b.1942)
I have Cheap Thrills in my deck right now, I have always been a Joplin fan :D
