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!

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.

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.

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.

+1 for Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac, they're awesome
"Tallahassee Lassie" is a good tribute to my home state

Do I really need to explain this one?



Van Morrison - Astral Weeks Live at the Hollywood Bowl

Astral Weeks was his seminal album as a young singer. He recorded a live version about two years ago. With his now 30 year later aged voice it is one helluva an album.

PinkFloyd- Dark Side of The moon.

This was great. Just picked up this album based on the youtube video alone. Some excellent stuff brother.


Still checking out other recommendations from this thread. I'll let you guys know what I think

[King James]

Don Ross is good stuff. Also check out anything by Andy McKee

[forgop]

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.

Great albums there. Surprised to see someone else into Yngwie. Most people have never heard of him.

For me:

Octavarium - Dream Theater. DT's my favorite band and they have number of albums that are in my top 10 but this one's at the top. I can listen to it over and over. The title track "Octavarium" is one of their epic 20+ min songs, taking you all over the map.

The Odyssey - Symphony X. Symp X follows in the mold of DT, but more straight forward progressive metal. I find it rather interesting that a band could take something like Greek Mythology and turn it into an album.

Deadwing - Porcupine Tree. PT has a number of other really good albums (In Absentia, Signify, Fear of a Blank Planet), but for me this is their go to album. They've been described as a modern day Pink Floyd. I can't say for sure myself as I haven't listened to a lot of Floyd.

Liquid Tension Experiment - Liquid Tension Experiment. A side project of some of the Dream Theater guys, this is a completely instrumental album with loads of jazz fusion influences. There's a song called "3 Minute Warning" that's over 20+ minutes and was recorded in one take. It's a complete improv jam.

Favorite metal album for me,has to MEGADETH(peace sells but whos buying)even though dave and the boys had one previous to this one(killing is my business&business is good).this album was more refined but yet raw,and gritty.and what better way to try and get back at METALLICA.never did like kirk hammet.but this is my opinoin.

[King James]

JJ Grey & Mofro - Orange Blossoms

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7CUR2cozts

Is a newer album by the band (formerly just billed as Mofro)
Some (read: all) of their older stuff is really good too.

[bobarian]

Here are a few of my fav's.

Beatles-Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
Lou Reed-Rock and Roll Animal
Van Morrisan-Moondance
Eagles-Hotel California
The Clash-London Calling
Big Audio Dynamite-This is Big Audio Dynamite
Bruce Springsteen-The River and Born to Run

[RightAJ]

Metallica - AJFA
