I can't pick one artist/group, let alone one single album.

A few years ago, I was talking with Ernest Williamson and David Smith (keyboards and bass guitar for Michael Burks) and we were talking about great guitarists (besides their boss, who is a _phenomenal_ blues guitarist in his own right) and we all had kind of the same opinion, and that is picking a single artist over another is very difficult at best, picking a single album over all others, even more so, especially if the artist has a diverse catalog. I love Jimi Hendrix's work, I love Duane Allman's work - two totally different players, I can't classify one as better than the other, sure, once can nitpick technical playing characteristics if they want, but not all great music is made that way. Get into a diverse artist like Zappa for example, don't ask me to pick a single one of FZs albums as my favorite, it's simply not possible, and I have probably every FZ album ever made and then some to pick from.

One thing I will say though, is that I usually prefer the live albums, with all their imperfections over the studio work. Even the technically horrid ones, like the original version of Live at Leeds from The Who, with all it's recording errors and dodgy mic cables causing the clicking and poping, is something that captures the true essense of a band.

mosesbotbol · 04-08-2010, 01:30 PM

Wouldn't call this list my "favorite albums", but what I am listening to on while bicycle riding recently:

ABBA - Greatest Hits
Guns & Roses - Apetitie for Destruction & Use Your Illusion II
Madonna - Confessions on a Dancefloor
Judas Priest - Hell Bent for Leather

Jbailey · 04-08-2010, 01:57 PM

Sorry Dustin I can't just add one. I try and throw a few different things into the mix here.

1) Peter Greens Fleetwood Mac by Fleetwood Mac
This is a great collection of some of the early work by Fleetwood Mac when it was a blues band. Pre Stevie Nick and with three great guitarists!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTvKaLW5bu8

2) Loaded by The Velvet Underground
This would be their more commercial successful album. I still enjoy The Velvet Underground and Nico but Loaded is great start to finish it also has amazing writing. It's great early New York rock/psychedelic.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkumh...eature=related

3) Vs. God, More Songs About Girlfriends And Bubblegum, This Sh!t Is Genius and Midwestern Songs Of The Americas (any of these albums) by Dillinger Four. Still some one of my favorite Punk bands. Funny, witty, smart as hell lyrics and a great band to see live.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=paEB7...eature=related

4) Minx by Leatherface (runner up albums are The Last, Mush, and Cherry Knowle)
I was lucky to enough to see this British Punk band years ago and still enjoy their music today. The lead singer Frankie Stubbs has an unusual voice, it's like having Tom Waits singing punk rock.

Dave, you should check out the Cowboy Junkies doing Sweet Jane.
The punk bands you like aren't too hardcore. There's another punk band called the Rugburns that I used to enjoy. They're kind of a pop/punk hybrid. The stuff that's on youtube is basically the pop. What I could find, anyways. Their albums flesh out a lot funner.
Here's one that's a bit more what they're about. My carphone's on the pill.

yes and no. I was trying to find something to post from the bands.

I have a slew of punk music and was into for a lot of years. Everything from pre-punk, 77 punk, 80's hardcore and into the 90's with Lookout and the start of a lot of the pop punk. These are still some of my favorites along with Screeching Weasel/Riverdales.

14holestogie · 04-08-2010, 02:18 PM

Anything by Victoria Williams or Maia Sharp, both amazing singer songwriters.

Wonderful World by Victoria is a great interpretation of a classic.

There's a reason Bonnie Raitt loves Maia's work.

I would agree with that one, Scott, but the way they screw up one of the lovliest line in music on that same album, by changing Hank Williams' classic verse to "The silence of a falling star/Lights up a purple haze" makes me cringe each time I hear it.

Who the hell would fark with Hank Williams, I wanna know!

forgop · 04-08-2010, 05:09 PM

My favorite album of all time was GnR-Appetite for Destruction. My new favorite band is Skillet, so I'll go with Skillet-Comatose Comes Alive because it combines some of their best songs from a couple of other albums.

sikk50 · 04-08-2010, 06:26 PM

Blood for Blood - Outlaw Anthems
Death Before Dishonor - Friends Family Forever
Throwdown - Haymaker
Donnybrook - Lions at the Gate
First Blood - Killafornia
Hoods - Ghetto Blaster
Adora - Safegaurd the Helpless

Smokin Gator · 04-08-2010, 06:28 PM

This one is so easy... I could list a bunch... but if you are asking absolute favorite album:

Allman Brothers Live at Filmore East- Duane Allman was out of his mind stoned but played beyond comparision!!

Several Stevie Ray albums are close... but as far as favorite there is no question!!

And if that album ain't enough to convince you, then listen to "Mountain Jam" off the Eat A Peach album from that same concert. Duane's solo right after the dual-drum break in the middle is the most transcendent guitar work you will ever hear - no freakin' joke.
