Actually, I don't really have a problem with the Stones - especially the
Exile album - I just wanted to say that.

Which one do I go for first?

The Stones, well, they suck. AC/DC, too. Fleetwood Mac, while not exactly
t3h suX0r, generally bores me. Elton John... less than a handful of good
songs (same with The Beatles). Zeppelin is mostly meh. Genesis, so-so (same
with The Who). Got a personal sacred cow in the classic rock genre? Consider
it barbequed.
Here is <drum roll> the authoritative top ten albums of all time, or, well,
ten albums which I currently am liking quite a bit:
(limiting Rush to two entries only)
1. Rush - Grace Under Pressure
2. Rush - Moving Pictures
3. Porcupine Tree - In Absentia
4. Queensryche - Operation: Mindcrime
5. Toy Matinee - Toy Matinee
6. Pink Floyd - The Division Bell
7. Spock's Beard - Day For Night
8. Neal Morse - One
9. Joe Satriani - Surfing with the Alien
10. RPWL - World Through My Eyes
Rob (!Petard) won't eat it. He hates everything.
NP: Spock's Beard - On A Perfect Day
John Nichel
In no particular order...
Boston - Boston
Led Zeppelin - II
Collective Soul - Blender
Tesla - Psychotic Supper
Cinderella - Long Cold Winter
Van Halen - Diver Down
Rush - Fly By Night
Rush - Vapor Trails
Metallica - Ride The Lightning
Green Day - Dookie
List subject to change at any time. Not valid in Alaska or Hawaii.
--
Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?
Snoop Doggy
> 4. Queensryche - Operation: Mindcrime
I really considered this one for the top-10 list. While it doesn't have
signal crappy track, IMO, it does suffer - slightly - from the same bright
recording style of GuP. The remastered QR box set has a richer version of
Mindcrime - but the sound still bugs me a little bit.
Of course, nothing can top our home team, Rush, for setting the standard for
horiffic recording (VT).
Rob nee Petard
> Cinderella - Long Cold Winter
<blank stare>
Seriously. That better be a joke just to see if anyone would actually read
your list. You better don't.
Rob (!Petard)
NP: Kevin Gilbert - The Shaming of the True
Dan Iwerks
1. The Replacements - Let It Be
2. The Rolling Stones - Exile on Main Street
3. Bruce Springsteen - Born to Run
4. Joni Mitchell - Blue
5. Tori Amos - Little Earthquakes
6. Chris Whitley - Dirt Floor
7. Ryan Adams - Heartbreaker
8. The Clash - London Calling
9. Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
10. Guns 'n Roses - Appetite for Destruction
Yes, yes, heresy and all, no Rush. Rush has sustained greatness unlike
any other band, but hasn't had the same peaks and valleys as people like
Joni Mitchell, Springsteen, or the Stones (who alternate between utter
brilliance and things I wouldn't flush down my toilet).

At least I don't have *Cinderella* in my top 10.
I'm listening to Manilow right now (yes, again, I kind of dig Manilow
for the cheese factor), and I can hold my head up and say "I kind of dig

Hey now, Rob's list is not completely and utterly horrible. Just
mostly. I can agree with p/g and MP, Mindcrime is pretty phenomneal, In
Absentia isn't bad (yes, just "isn't bad"), and I even own Spock's
Beard's Day for Night. Because I'd heard two songs I liked. And
they're still the only two songs I like from them.
Forcing me to listen to the last part of that CD Rob made for me would
violate the Geneva Convention. Probably a Shriner's Convention as well.

Replace S&A with something from the Golden Era (say, PeW or MP), and that list
would be Mary fuckin' Poppins.
Especially the part where Who's Next is listed and Quadrophenia isn't.

Yeah, Rites of Passage and their self-titled disc are MUCH better than
Swamp Ophelia.
I also considered Rickie Lee Jones' _Pirates_ for my top ten . . .

I'm a man.
Men understand sports (not "men"/"sports" in the Dan/Prof sense)
I gave the NHL 5 years after my wife an I got married. Watched it,
learned it, gave up on it when the players couldn't fathom a salary cap.
I already have a vested interest in college/pro baseball, college/pro
football and college basketball. Don't really care enough to take on
another sport.
No vested interest in hockey because it was/is non-existent where I grew up.

Yeah, I'll add that one as well. And the "not live" fourth side is quite
good as well. "You Might Recall" is pure prog-pop brilliance and "Evidence

Same sort of music, only more consistent than The Wind and the Wheat.
Also be sure to check out Andy Mckee (whose stuff floated through AMR a

These just missed the cut, as did Unforgettable Fire (nod to Smith).

Andy McKee is a really great guitar player when it comes to playing in one
chordal key throughout an entire set.

Pondered this some more last night and I think that I'm still happy
with it, but other near misses include:
Johnny Cash (either Fulsom Prison or American Recordings)
Green Day - American Idiot
Fleetwood Mac - Rumours
Steely Dan - Aja
Yes - tough call - Tormato? (jk) - Close to the Edge or The Yes Album
(I'd even consider ABWH which I just really love)
Stevie Wonder - Songs in the Key of Life
CSN (& Y)? - feel like they should be on the list
Buddy Holly - Buddy Holly or The Buddy Holly Story

Alice in Chains, Dirt
Bob Dylan, Blonde on Blonde
Cake, Pressure Chief
The Cult, Sonic Temple
Genesis, Selling England by the Pound
Iron Maiden, Powerslave
Led Zeppelin (pick from first six, HotH is my favorite today)

Pink Floyd, Wish You Were Here
Porcupine Tree, Stupid Dream
Queen, Jazz (just for Can't Stop Me Now)
Radiohead, The Bends
Tom Petty, Wildflowers

Oh yeah! Easily their best album, though OK computer gives it a
respectable run.

Quadrophenia about WN, with you on that one. Honestly, my biggest
problem with WN is I just know it too well. I need to not hear anything
off it for a few years so I could approach it with fresh ears.

I assume you've filled in the rest of The Replacements' catalogue? Let
It Be - Tim - Pleased to Meet Me is about the greatest three-album run
in the history of popular music. Stinking great tunes, one after
another. Even on their not-as-good albums there are always some amazing
gems (All Shook Down is nothing special, but "Nobody" is one of my all-
time favorite songs).

Yes I have. It's good but after having seen Keaggy live and Andy
Mckee, Andy really isn't on the same page as Phil. Andy was great,
but Phil is off the charts primarily because I think he's great
vocally as well. All great artists though....
Rob nee Petard
Never developed a taste for Keaggy's vocals.
Did you know Phil played and sang a bit as a guest on Neal Morse's "One"
album?

I have those three right now, and it's hard to tell which one is my
favorite, they are all excellent. And I don't even like this kind of music
normally.

My opinion is that, for The Replacements to be any good, their music would
have to be better than it sounds.

Actually, Westerberg kind of likes the fact that it doesn't "sound" too
good - which works perfectly for that band, so technically, your statement
is correct.

Feels good, dancing close to the borderline
She's a magic mountain, she's a leather glove
Oh she's my soul, it must be love
She's only seventeen, still she gives me love.....

That's funny, I don't remember anyone asking you for your list.
Mine is, not in order:
Deep Purple, Deep Purple in Rock
Rush, Moving Pictures
Frank Zappa, The Grand Wazoo
David Bowie, Station to Station
Led Zeppelin, LZ III
The Who, Who's Next
Fela Ransome-Kuti, Confusion/Gentleman
Iggy & the Stooges, Raw Power
Steely Dan, The Royal Scam
Helmet, Meantime
11-20 are Soundgarden's 'Superunknown,' Pink Floyd's 'Animals,'
Helmet's 'Betty,' Led Zeppelin's 'Presence,' Universal Congress Of's
'Salty Black Wind,' Universal Congress Of's 'Prosperous and
Qualified,' Steely Dan's 'Aja,' Rage Against the Machine's 'Evil
Empire,' Van Halen's 'Women and Children First' and Anal C**t's
'Picnic of Love.'
'Picnic of Love' (1998) by the way, is probably the last decent album
made by anyone other than Rush, Steely Dan or Bowie.
