HOLY CRAP!!!! I LEFT OFF VH TOO!!!! Runnin' With the Devil Eruption You Really Got Me Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love etc... Great Album... My apologies To add.. "Van Halen" (1978) - Van Halen "The Sickness" (2000) - Disturbed -- "Oooooo Ah Ah Ah Ah!!!!" PS - Thanks for the lookout R2K. Just Remeber its all about... Bill S. Preston Esquire and Ted Theodore Logan!!! -WYLD STALLIONS
I saw Marshall Crenshaw play John Lennon at the Music Hall (1980, 3 days before Lennon was shot dead) in the off Broadway production of Beatlemania.
ok, one more, and likely one that's not one anyone else's list, but was in much heavier rotation in my room than ostensibly similar LPs by Boston or Bad Co. From the AMG review: "Showing off Head East's intriguing and quite effective blend of hard melodic rock with progressive rock tendencies and awesome vocal arrangements, this disc is a classic."
Actually, the inspiration for this thread was ,I was watching Bad Co.'s concert DVD, and the memories came flooding back. They played most of that debut album, including the classic "Seagull" which is just Paul and his acoustic. IMHO it is the best album ever.
Music From Big Pink - The Band Fresh Cream - Cream Marquee Moon - Television Pronounced Leh-Nerd Skin-Nerd - Lynyrd Skynyrd Horses - Patti Smith Group Never Mind The Bollocks, Here's The Sex Pistols - Sex Pistols Kick Out The Jams - MC5
Now we are talking. I will have to get a copy of this. I have some Head East stuff but not their debut. Thanks basso!!!!
OK, why did it take so long for this album to be mentioned in this thread. Ultimate respect for Rashmon!!!!
Thanks. The Band was primo. I can't believe the Velevet Underground hasn't gotten more due, or Zappa's Freak Out. A couple more... My Aim Is True - Elvis Costello In The Court Of The Crimson King - King Crimson
Off the top of my head.. Television - Marquee Moon Wilco - AM Violent Femmes (self titled) and still making a living off of it New York Dolls (self titled) Montrose (self titled) MC5 - Kick out the Jams The Smiths (self titled) Led Zeppelin (self titled) Bob, BadCo were such veterans (Mott, Free, King Crimson) that it seems almost unfair to include them, but I'm not b****'n. I saw them in support of that LP at Hoffeinz (can't even remember who they backed up - I was there to see Mick Ralphs' new band).
if you don't have the debut, you really don't know the band! self-produced, it was eventually picked up by A&M. none of their other albums ever came close to this one. in addition to "never been any reason", "love me tonight" and "lovin' me along" are classic tracks, but the whole album is fantastic.
Technically, their first album was Pollywog Stew from 1982. They were a punk band then. I think that the drummer from Lucious Jackson was actually playing for BB back then. I could be wrong. Anyway my list is... Wilco...AM Son Volt...Trace Sublime...40 oz to Freedom G. Love & Special Sauce...self titled Black Crowes...Shake Your Money Maker The Gourds...dem's good beeble
oasis - definitely maybe led zeppelin - led zeppelin van halen - van halen alice in chains - facelift guns n roses - appetite for destruction
Funny, I was going to start this exact same thread two weekends ago when, by pure coincidence, I listened to Outlandis d'Amour, My Aim Is True, and The Pretenders all in a row. But I was too lazy to start a thread. Lots of great records have been mentioned already -- here are some of mine: Talking Heads: 77 (More Songs was NOT their first album) The Pretenders/The Pretenders Elvis Costello - My Aim is True Jeff Buckley - Grace De La Soul - 3 Feet High and Rising Van Halen U2 - Boy REM - Murmur Velvet Underground and Nico The Doors/The Doors Tracy Chapman/Tracy Chapman Led Zeppelin I Pearl Jam - Ten Pete Yorn - Musicforthemorningafter Pavement - Slanted and Enchanted Stevie Ray Vaughn - Texas Flood Violent Femmes/Violent Femmes Joe Jackson - Look Sharp Hendrix - Are You Experienced Living Colour - Vivid Indigo Girls/Indigo Girls Oasis - Definitely Maybe Sinead O' Connor - The Lion and the Cobra Tori Amos - Little Earthquakes Fugees - The Score Go Gos - Beauty and the Beat (no, seriously!) The Vines - Highly Evolved Belly - Star Franz Ferdinand/Franz Ferdinand Yeah, I know it's a long list, but I've been kicking this around for two weeks ...
Also forgot the Sex Pistols, and was coming to post Living Colour and AIC as well ... Here's some more: Weezer "s/t" (can't remember if it was mentioned) Toadies "Rubberneck" (not sure if it counts ... they had an EP, but so did GnR) The Knack "Get the Knack" Garbage "s/t" Buckcherry "s/t" Ace Frehley's first solo album Poison "Look What the Cat Dragged in" Enuff Z Nuff "s/t" Supergrass "I Should CoCo"
