Azalin Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 You know how most people think that the music was so much better back in the old days than all the new music is? Well, I just took a look at the list of top 10 albums from my high school freshman year (1971-72) and realized that it may have been one of the best years ever for solid, quality, pop music. 10) Yes - Close to the Edge 9) ZZ Top - Rio Grande Mud 8) Elton John - Honky Chateau 7) Pink Floyd - Obscured by Clouds 6) Allman Brothers Band - Eat a Peach 5) Black Sabbath - Vol. 4 4) Alice Cooper - School's Out 3) David Bowie - The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars 2) Deep Purple - Machine Head 1) The Rolling Stones - Exile on Main St. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chef Jim Posted December 2, 2016 Author Share Posted December 2, 2016 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. Ok to make it easy for Greggy let's just go with the year you turned 14. You know how most people think that the music was so much better back in the old days than all the new music is? You know why most people think that? BECAUSE IT'S !@#$ING TRUE!!!

I have most of those listed on vinyl I was '82-'83 and I went back to look at what came out then. What a musical desert. I now know why I can't answer this question. I would ride my bike to Record Exchange and buy albums that were already 4-10 years old. Ramones, Clash, The Jam. The newest thing I owned in "82 was Tattoo You.

Azalin Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 \mm/ Umphreys McGee Baby. That is one current band kicking ass!! I don't get out to many concerts anymore. I mainly listen to classical music nowadays - not so much the mellow stuff, but mainly composers like Mussorgsky, Paganini, Bach, etc. Most of the bands that I love are either long gone, too old to tour, or have only one or two remaining original members. The only two bands that I can think of that I'll go see every single time they're in town are King Diamond and Ghost (still love me some of that dark music).

Music is my happy place and that list has had me spending a few hours each night listening to the albums on my list. It's crazy how well I remember that music. I do love classical music and the wife and I are going to a series in Berkeley the next three Saturdays. I like the mellow stuff as well. We got our annual invites to the Baroque Music Festival in SoCal just yesterday. I go to about 6 shows a year and it's usually the same groups when the come through town.

LewPort71 Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Book by David Hepworth. "Never a Dull Moment --1971 the Year Rock Exploded" That being said, my freshman year in college. I did not buy all of these and the guys in the dorm would share with one another. We wore out the needles of the stereos. Led Zeppelin 4 Who's Next LA Woman... the Doors Fragile...Yes Tapestry... Carole King Aqualung .. Jethro Tull The yes Album...YesEvery Picture tells a Story... Rod Stewart Tarkus... ELP Killer....Alice Cooper Straight up... Badfinger Low Spark of High Heel Boys .. Traffic Hot Rocks..1964--1971 Rolling Stones American Pie.. Don McLean Pictures at an Exhibition... ELP Every good Boy Deserves Favour... Moody Blues 4 Way Street... C S N Y A Space in Time.. 10 Years After Cry of Love... Hendrix Concert 4 Bangladesh ,, George Harrison Best of the Guess Who. Technically the following were released in 1970, but they were favorites on the turn table. Paranoid... Black Sabbath Layla and other Assorted Love Songs... Derek and the Dominoes 1971 was a great year for music. And I am old/young enough to remember most of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fadingpain Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 For me the year was 1985. My favorite album that year definitely would not have been anything current at the time. It was probably something by the Doors as that is when I was going through my Doors phase as I recall. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was probably something by the Doors as that is when I was going through my Doors phase as I recall. LOL 1985 was a classic year. I have this old 1985 Billboard CD, and every song on it is awesome. We built this city! Lover boy! Power of love by Huey Lewis! I think madonna's best album was from that year too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullpen Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 The year was 1986. These are the albums I was listening to: Peter Gabriel - So Smithereens - Especially For You Billy Idol - Whiplash Smile Van Halen - 5150 Steve Winwood - Back in the High Life Paul Simon - Graceland Beastie Boys - License to Ill Boston - Third Stage Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms Ozzy Osbourne - Ultimate Sin Pretenders - Get Close David Lee Roth - Eat 'Em and Smile EDIT - I forgot to list my favorite out of all of these. It's between So and 5150. I'm leaning toward So. I have pretty much the same list as Gug, but add: Public Image Ltd. - Album Metallica - Master of Puppets Prince and the Revolution - Parade AC/DC - Who Made Who Run DMC - Raising Hell Talking Heads - True Stories Frankie Goes to Hollywood - Liverpool (the one without Relax and Two Tribes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrader Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 It's interesting to see a couple different bands with multiple albums within that year or two. That never seems to work out too well for the quality of the music anymore (and by anymore, I mean within the last 15 years or so). I just scanned through a list from 1996 when I started high school. I guess I tend to associate bands with single songs most of the time because there's only one album on the entire list that stuck out to me at all, Pearl Jam's No Code. I've listened to them pretty much non-stop from day 1. From the list, I'm guessing that the biggest seller was the stupid Spice Girl debut, which just makes me angry.
