Chef Jim Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 A music site I follow on Facebook asked this question. I was a freshman in 1975-6. I started to look up albums from then. How the hell am I supposed to pick one. Here's my list and picking one is impossible. Jesus, no wonder all I did was listen to music 24/7. Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here Led Zeppelin Physical Graffiti Bruce Springsteen Born to Run Queen A Night at the Opera Bob Marley and the Wailers Live Alice Cooper Welcome to my Nightmare Steely Dan Katy Lied Fleet wood Mac Fleetwood Mac Jethro Tull Minstrel in the Gallery Aerosmith Toys in the Attic Blue Oyster Cult on Your Feet or on Your Knees Jeff Beck Blow by Blow Kiss Alive! Ted Nugent Ted Nugent Tommy Bolin Teaser The Tubes The Tubes Grateful Dead Blues for Allah The Outlaws Outlaws Return to Forever No Mystery Foghat Fool for the City ZZ Top Fandango Rush Fly by Night Stevie Wonder Songs in the Key of Life Thin Lizzy Jailbreak Rush 2112 Lynyrd Skynyrd One More From the Road Genesis A Trick of the Tail Steely Dan Royal Scam Boston Boston Kansas Leftoverture Bob Seger Live Bullet Rush All the World's a Stage Queen A Day at the Races Brand X Unorthodox Behavior Jeff Beck Wired Al Stewart Year of the Cat Steve Miller Band Fly Like and Eagle Bob Seger Night Moves Led Zeppelin The Song Remains the Same Heart Dreamboat Annie AC/DC Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap Al di Meola Land of the Midnight Sun Blondie Blondie Deep Purple Made in Japan Stanley Clarke School Days Tommy Bolin Private Eyes Lynyrd Skynyrd Gimme Back my Bullets The Eagles Hotel California Ted Nugent Free For All I've been Youtubing these the past two nights.

Steve O Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 HS or college freshman year? I was college freshman 75-76. I've reduced your list to two: Genesis A Trick of the Tail Bruce Springsteen Born to Run If we're talking college freshman year, at least for me smoking pot had more to do with listening to music 24/7 than your list.

Wow, I had it down to 4, but those 2 were on the list. I was a freshman in college in '77, so close enough. Katy Lied and Live Bullett were there too, with a bunch I had a hard time weeding out. (I could answer differently tomorrow.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last night was Fandango, Blow by Blow and On Your Feet or on Your Knees. Tonight starting with The Tubes. All good stuff Good Lord, that's a great list. 2112, Boston, Dreamboat Annie, A Night at the Opera, Physical Graffiti, A Day At The Races...I don't know that I could choose between those six. If you held a gun to my head, I'd probably say Boston (which, when I first bought it in the 90's - yes, I'm a young'n - I returned it to the record store and said "I bought the wrong album; I wanted their debut, not their greatest hits." "Oh no, that is their debut." "Oh...holy ****!") But Dreamboat Annie has been one of my favorites since I first discovered music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4merper4mer Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Actually a freshman. I was going to say young. I'd already been married 3 years. OK I don't want to answer for Greggy but I will anyway. Although he was a little late, his actual Freshman year started in the fall of 1994, about 14 years late. The upside was he set and still holds his school's Frosh record for back hair. He liked Green Day's Dookie Album and something by a band named Weezer.
