The Poojer Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 don't get me wrong, I love the gabriel stuff, selling england is such a great album, fox trot, with my personal all time fave "song" suppers ready, kicks ass, but i really loved trick of the tail a bit more than the others I agree with Trick of Tail is a great Album (Entangled) and the turning point for genesis BUT I feel sorry for the people who missed out on the last three albums The Lamb (which is my favorit with Gabriel lead and Collins backing) and then Selling England by the Pound and Foxtrot. 320915[/snapback] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philburger1 Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 I agree with Trick of Tail is a great Album (Entangled) and the turning point for genesis BUT I feel sorry for the people who missed out on the last three albums The Lamb (which is my favorit with Gabriel lead and Collins backing) and then Selling England by the Pound and Foxtrot. 320915[/snapback] I love all this Genesis talk! Living in the south it is all Tom Petty and stuff like that. Guys I know who grew up in North Carolina never heard of these CDs: Genesis: A Tick of The Tail, Selling Englanfd by the Pound Yes: Fragile, Close to the Edge King Crimson: Red Supertramp: Crime of the Century ELP: Brain Salad Surgery Saga: Images at Twilight Moody Blues: Days of Future Passed Man, I miss the old Buffalo and Toronto radio stations. WUWU and Q107 used to rule. Now it all the same garbage owned by the "Curtis Media Group" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthernMan Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Man, how can you get raw blues out of a stack of Marshalls? Give me Mississippi Fred McDowell, recorded in his living room with a bottleneck slide and an acoustic any day of the week. SRV was good, but some of the guys who invented the genre are just criminally ignored in favor of the white guys who appropriated it for greater gains. 320922[/snapback] Blues snob. You bastard. I have to agree with again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Poojer Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 its funny the difference in music and radio stations regionally. I always thought syracuse was the red headed step child in western/central ny. We in syracuse were subjected to all the typical rock/southern rock stations of the 70's and 80's. all while buffalo, rochester and utica got to enjoy all the good stuff. Maybe it is the influence that SU has on the area, I don't know, but 95X never held a candle to WOUR(Utica), WCMF(Rochester) and whatever the Buffalo station was. I love all this Genesis talk! Living in the south it is all Tom Petty and stuff like that.

SouthernMan Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 I think Exile OMS is the greatest album ever made, but it hasn't gotten nearly as much play time with me as Never Mind the Bollocks. So I'm taking the Pistols. 320861[/snapback] Hello Malcolm. Forgot about them for a second. IF... I had to choose 1 CD, it very well could be The Sex Pistols "The Great Rock & Roll Swindle" One of the best produced albums I've ever heard. Some really strange stuff on there, but also some kick ass straight forward rock. A few precious gems like EMI and Frigging in the Rigging. Love that album. It's got real attitude. I'll never get sick of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Fergy Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 I'll add Nursery Cryme to that list ... The Musical Box ... classic. 320923[/snapback] I agree. Lets throw trespass( the Knife, Stagnation,looking for someone) in there to. I didn't want to get carried away but now that I see My fellow Bills brothers are into The Greatest Group of all time. I thought it was great to be able to buy almost 3 albums a year Phil Collins solos, Peter Gabriel solos,Genesis and later even Mike and the Mechanics albums Name another group who for 20 years have came even close to producing what these guys have done and are never considered one of the great groups Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockpile Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Tommy - The Who I listened to it from beginning to end, when it was released on vinyl. It was also the first record played on first stereo!

rockpile Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 MC5 - Kick Out The Jams 320966[/snapback] A pioneer of punk. I have that song on MP3, used to have the LP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was also the first record played on first stereo! I followed the lyrics as I listened. Gave me goose bumps! 320988[/snapback] Damn. TOMMY. Another one I'd have to consider if I could only have one. For my money, that's the best drumming EVER on any album. Moon's playing had this incredible syncopation as he cascaded high toms through the low ones, somehow crashing cymbals in between and double footing the bass drums. Amazing. What's never discussed is his unique low tuning on the floor toms that made them sound like timpanis. It was unpredictable and fantastic. Tommy was well written and Townsend's guitar playing really blossomed on that record, but it never would have been the same without Moon's drums. Not necessary to start a Neil Peart thread here. I think Moon was the greatest. A complete nut job who's crazed drumming reflected his personality. Loved him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffan00 Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 No Matter How Many Times You Play It -- On A Desert Island Or The Arctic Mine - Meat Loaf - Bat Out Of Hell Don't Equivocate Too Much 320541[/snapback] Hands Down it would be CLUTCH's self-titled debut album! Best CD ever recorded!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 I think "Bollocks" is the greatest Punk album of all time, but, not in the same class as "Exile" ... or any of the Stones albums. 320871[/snapback] I hear what you're saying... for me there's a difference though between greatest and favorite. For example, IMO Exile is their greatest, but either Black & Blue or Aftermath is my favorite. Highway 61 or Blonde on Blonde is Dylan's greatest, but Street Legal is my favorite. If I can only take one CD, I'm taking my favorite, not necessarily the greatest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
