[Rushman2112]

I don’t know if that’s a bother for me. Kinda fun actually.
im sure I’ll think “damn what didn’t I think of that” but I’ll be ok in the end.

Absolutely - then you go and listen to the album again!

Interesting mix, very eclectic

Jethro Tull - Aqualung
Rollins Band - The End of Silence...or...Come in and Burn (too hard to pick!)
Crowbar - Crowbar or Time Heals Nothing (too hard to pick!)
Gary Numan - The Pleasure Principle...or his latest...Savage (too hard to pick!)
Prong - Rude Awakening

Radiohead - OK Computer
Alice in Chains - MTV Unplugged
Queen - Greatest Hits 1 and 2
Nirvana - Nevermind

OK Computer and Alice in Chains Unplugged albums are very special for me. Too much memories from my youth ages...

 

[The Knize]

Following up on an earlier dialogue in this thread, I think I saw a George Harrison quote just the other day to the effect that Rubber Soul and Revolver blended into one album in his memory. So we are not the only ones that consider those two albums of a piece.

Help sure seems to have come up in the ratings of Beatle albums over the years, at least in on-line discussions and magazine rankings. The Brit not the US version, of course. I do not think I am there yet. For one thing, I do not care if I never hear Yesterday again. Turns out "I've Just Seen a Face" is a McCartney song. Goes to show I do not know anything!

 

[JCarr]

I should have given an honorable mention to...

VoiVod - Phobos

 

[FarmerTan]

I'm so out of it. I'll have to put up a list of real people albums!

Since I have never heard of more than half of these bands or albums, y'all musta made 'em up.

 

[SliceOfLife]

Thick as a Brick - Jethro Tull
The Times they are a changin - Bob Dylan
10,000 Days - Tool
Pork Soda - Primus
Physical Graffiti - Led Zeppelin
