T&C Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Own or have owned all of them. Imo, if you go back or forward 4 years that was the massive take of the best music ever made. Plenty of exceptions for sure but to me that was the bulk part of it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 I never thought I'd see the day I'd say, I'm old. I don't believe there is a group on that list I don't like. although their first album wasn't released until '73, Aerosmith is celebrating their 50th year together as a group in 2020.??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T&C Posted August 23, 2020 Author Share Posted August 23, 2020 Only a few on there I don't care for... VU Loaded, they had shot their load with the first and second one. The McCartney album was kind of lame to me, other than maybe I'm amazed. He did play all of the instruments on it though so I guess that makes it. New Morning isn't a go to for me... maybe I should check it out again.

OGTEleven Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Zep III is to me their most underrated album by far. I rank it very high on their list but that doesn't seem to be the consensus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 (edited) I have at least 3 of those listed. But I have many that are that old and not listed. W/o looking 3 off the top of my head. The Dark Side of the Moon and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road - 3 years shy of 50.

apuszczalowski Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 It doesn't surprise me much to hear those albums are 50 years old I think it's more surprising to see how many bands/artists have multiple albums on the list. You don't see that often today outside of rappers/hip-hop artists and Taylor Swift where the music is mass produced on computers..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a little worth mentioning on "Houses of the Holy" and then it went downhill pretty fast after that. Of the first 4, core albums, 3 is the worst IMO. I do love the original "spin wheel" thing built into the album jacket, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if that new movie with Seth Rogen where he plays a guy in modern day and his grandfather who was preserved in pickle brine was loosely based off of Iggy and Keith We will find out they have been living in vats of pickle brine to preserve themselves all these years......

My new truck last year didn't even come with a CD player stock, it was an upgrade if you wanted one put in. They are now phasing it out for MP3s.

I think for a lot of people the one weird song (Roy Harper) changed their perception and I think Since I've Been Lovin You is a great song that not a lot of people like.

Nextmanup Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 It's crazy to think that so many classic rock 'n roll albums, including some pretty "hard" rock stuff, are now 50 years old. Which is to say, they are older than WWII era big band music was, when I was growing up as a kid in the '70s. And Big Band music always felt totally ancient and alien to me; a product of a completely different era. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paired down the band to 4-5, set it to the guitar, rest is history. He did it to pay the bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
