Fadingpain Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 This is very tough. No way I could strip it down to absolute Top 5, but this grouping would be one permutation for sure. I couldn't imagine the world without the music from these 5 albums; I listen to it all, all the time, and this is some of my absolute favorite music.

I just got a set of Sony studio monitor headphones and GOOD LORD, listening to vinyl through those is a life changing experience. Rolling Stones' Let It Bleed is just ridiculous. There's sound coming from about 8 different angles. Edited August 1, 2018 by Seasons1992 Because I needed to tell everyone something else......

corta765 Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Sgt Pepper (Although I highly respect your inclusion of Abbey Road that would be 2nd for me) Nevermind (As a 90s kid this blew our doors off) Zeppelin I My Dark Beautiful Twisted Fantasy 59 Sound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinceThe70s Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 I couldn't possibly come up with my top 5 favorite albums, just too much to love. 5 that stick out off the top of my head: Zeppelin/IV: overplayed it and at times convinced myself that they made better albums. This is still their best. Maybe the best rock album of all time. The Who/Quadrophenia: for some reason I never get tired of this album. Ever. Aerosmith/Rocks: wish I had seen them back in the day (on or before Live Bootleg) Never Mind The Bollocks Here's The Sex Pistols: defined a genre, I would have a hard time keeping this off my top 5 list Janes Addiction/Strays: an instant classic the first time I heard it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GETTOTHE50 Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 (edited) Zep 2 Definitely Maybe Sticky Fingers Electric Ladyland Everybody knows this is no where I wanted to add that I think abbey road is terribly overrated, asides from Johns songs and here comes the sun. Rubber soul/revolver/sgt/and white album all beat it Edited August 2, 2018 by GETTOTHE50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 (edited) Ask me this question next week, you might get a different answer. Some of the music I listened to in the 70s I can no longer tolerate. These five are still valid almost anytime. Bob Dylan, 'Blood on the Tracks' The Who, 'Who's Next' Dire Straits, 'Brothers in Arms' George Thorogood, 'George Thorogood and the Destroyers' Talking Heads, 'The Best of Talking Heads' That being said, if I want to get work done, I'll tune in Stingray on the cable / satellite and play baroque music.

LewPort71 Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Too many to pick from. These are the ones that wore out the turntable back in the day. Welcome Back My Friends.....ELP Yessongs...

What are the best songs of all time on Animals you can’t get enough of.... The whole album, thank you. Dogs, Pigs, Sheep. Plus the Battersea power plant on the cover with the tethered pig to the roof? It's awesome. Adding to a couple others above: I bought Sticky Fingers on vinyl yesterday and yeah it's up there. Also researched Quadrophenia, $41 for a new copy which isn't that bad. Both are certainly favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far Away Eyes is probably one of my favorite country songs ever. Probably my favorite Stones song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 I wouldn’t say these are the best (other than Bollocks), but these are my favs this morning looking thru the albums on my phone: Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here Stones - Black And Blue Dylan - Street Legal LZ - Physical Graffiti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark80 Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 (edited) Blind Melon - Blind Melon Abbey Road Duane Allman Anthology Vol 1 Led Zeppelin III (just because so many already said II and I never understood why III always gets the shaft - come on - Immigrant song, out on the tiles, since i've been loving you, that's the way...and the rest.
