Favorite Album. Beginning to End Greatness.

[shotsup 832]

An Iron Maiden album.

 

 

Assume you meant "any"

 

First 5 were great and would qualify as a Fav. Somewhere in Time was on the bubble for me and downhill after that. Maybe they were good in their own way but was lost on me.

 

Piece Of Mind

Number of the Beast

Powerslave

Iron Maiden

Killers

Agreed. Somewhere in Time has two of my favorite Maiden songs, Wasted years and Alexander The Great. I also like Heaven Can Wait a lot.

 

I like the order you put them in too, probably the same for me all the way around on your post.

[Cloaca du jour 2,064]

Dio Holy Diver

Donnie Iris - fortune 410

Phil collins anything

Journey

Foreigner

Maiden has to be one of the best history story telling bands of all time.

(True or fantasy/mythological)

 

Alexander the Great

Flight of Icarus

Ryme of the Ancient Mariner

 

 

There IS more.

Actually, now that I think on it for a few moments, I am pretty sure Fear of the Dark was the last album of theirs' I bought. I just did not like enough of their new stuff that made me want to go out and buy another of their albums.

Oh HELL YEAH!!!!

 

Steve Harris is a focking GENIUS and the brains behind the band.

 

Hell, they made songs about that , Charlotte, and they were incredible.

The one thing I've learned reading these music threads is the Geeks are getting old. We are some old white dudes.

 

Pretty soon there will be threads titled:

 

"Do you take Fiber Supplements?"

 

"Don't you hate when your snotty grandkids come to visit?"

I already feel very old. Recently, I keep hearing songs I use to like growing up being played on the easy listening channel in stores.

[cbfalcon 824]

This is truly a category in which I can give a clear answer: Radiohead - OK Computer.

any of you fools have a nice record player? I'm looking forward to the day, likely when my kids are older and moved on to have a nice stereo with vinyl player down in the basement, so I can actually just throw on an album and enjoy

Right. The "Oldies" station was playing U2 the other day. I'm thinking, why are they playing this. This isn't old.

[BunnysBastatrds 1,920]

Aerosmith- Done With Mirrors

How much hate has been spewed for the last 15 yrs?

That moment when an Alice in Chains song comes on...the classic rock station.

[vuduchile 1,941]

I haven't listened to or purchased an entire album in decades. I'm a poster boy for record industry ills.

 

Before iTunes was invented, I had these at the top of my list:

Toys In the Attic

Thriller

Purple Rain

Van Halen

Back in Black

Revolver

Pronounced Leh-nerd skin-nerd

What's Going On

You're getting annoying

 

You should not be throwing rocks in your glass house.

[edjr 5,567]

 

 

Purple Rain

 

 

 

Movie was pretty awesome too.

 

being 12, 13 and seeing prince lay the pipe to Apollonia and give her a back hand to the face for talking to Morris.

 

Good stuff.

[Magnificent Bastard 190]

Maybe. Taking a look at your house should be a lesson.

[Chronic Husker 85]

Sublime Sublime

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

2Pac All Eyes on Me

[Sho Nuff 719]

Nirvana Unplugged was great.

Metallica Master of Puppets and And Justice For All are both in the top for me...not a bad song on either of them.

GnR Appetite is close to that...but at least 3 songs I could leave off of that album...maybe 4.

Michael Jackson HIStory: Past, Present, and Future Part 1...disc one...some great song (and a few to throw out...but overall, very listenable)

[cmh6476 756]

there are a lot of albums I could throw on and just play over and over

 

Some newer ones that come to mind:

 

Alt-J - This is All Yours

Jack White - Lazaretto

The Black Keys - El Camino

The Avett Brothers - The Carpenter

Beck - Morning Phase

 

 

That said, if anyone has suggestions of new music I should be checking out based on these I've listed, let me know

[BiPolarBear 476]

Mine

 

 

Layla and other assorted love songs

 

 

(Plenty of them out there but for me this is tops)

Yeah, that's mine.

[Know Doubt 0]

regatta de blanc

 

clockwork angels

 

awake(dream theatre)

[shotsup 832]

Yeah, that's mine.

Finally someone with good taste in music

Is it me, or are older generations more resistant to continuing to explore new music? I love many of the historic albums some of you "more seasoned" geeks are referencing, but how much do you seek out new music you enjoy?

Constantly. But albums don't really exist anymore.

[cmh6476 756]

Yes they do. I'm part of an org that does a folk festival and our headliner had vinyl available for two albums which also came with a cd. I'm guessing they would have sent digital file as well

Out of the last 20 years I've maybe heard 20 songs that have something new to offer that hasn't already been done better by one of the hundreds of 70's bands that I grew up with.

 

I'm still exploring so much that I missed from the greatest era of rock.

[titans&bucs&bearsohmy! 2,745]

I'm aware they still exist.

 

Perhaps it would be more accurate to say, that with the exception of certain bands that are on my "watchlist", that's not really how I discover my music anymore.
