Fleetwood Mac - Rumors

Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band - Against the Wind

Excellent choices.

John Denver, Jim Croce

I love Croce's 'I Got A Name'. Every time I hear it it's like a breath of fresh air, elevates my mood.

I’m not taking “album” to mean specifically vinyl. Media format is irrelevant.

...understood, but that was my largest selection of music-have downsized over the years.......

No worries. Just a qualifier.

My vinyl collection is growing again! Most of my stuff is on CD.

I wasn't sure what Tery meant.

5. Hold On Loosely - 38 Special

Is this the one with 'Second Chance' on it? That's a favorite of mine.

No Second Chance is a great song

Comparing what I have on albums and what I have on CDs pretty much shows how my tastes in music have changed. I have a bunch of Dwight Yoakum CDs

...it's from Rock & Roll Strategy....

Format isn't relevant. Just the album.

I'm loving these lists. Of course, it goes without saying that all Genesis and Rush albums are on my list, it's just that PW and W&W are my "go-to" of their catalog.

 

[Kurben]

HMMMM...... Must think about that

Beatles: Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt.Pepper and Abbey Road
Lars Winnerbäck: Daugava
First Aid Kit: The Lions Roar
Rosenstolz: Die Schlampen Sind Mude
Jakob Hellman: Och Stora Havet (And the big ocean)
Simon & Garfunkel: Sounds of Silence, Bridge over Troubled Water
Traveling Wilburys: Volume One
Johnny Cash: The Essential Johhny Cash
Tracey Ullman: You Caught me out (nostalgic reasons)

I would add:

Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral

Nine Inch Nails! I forgot With Teeth needs to be added to mine. So does Bad Company 10 from 6. Paul Rogers has one of the best voices I've ever heard. Love Lou Gramm (Foreigner) on most any album, too. So hard to remember them all

A couple of good thread ideas are: What albums did you used to love that you can't stand anymore and What albums did you used to hate that you love now.

Boy howdy, if you make the thread, I have an answer to the first part of the question.

...if you like Paul and haven't heard his Muddy Waters Tribute album-it's well worth the buy.....

Both GNTLGNT and osnafrank listed ZZ Top albums. I am a terrible Texan. I have no ZZ Top albums The only Texas blues album I have is Johnny Winter's Guitar Slinger. BUT I do have Sharp Dressed Man in iTunes on my iPad so maybe there's still hope for me lol.

I'm not a huge ZZ top fan, but somehow I've found myself seeing them live like 3 times. And they were spectacular every time.

Back in my day, "Tapestry" by Carole King was wildly popular. And for good reason. So was "Sweet Baby James" by James Taylor. Also for good reason.

"Woodstock," the first album, the double set. I loved that one.

"Tarkus" by Emerson, Lake & Palmer. Especially the first side. "Pictures at an Exhibition" followed.

"Dark Side" and "Wish You Were Here" by Pink Floyd. I enjoyed them all but got my greatest playing mileage out of those two.

"Seventh Sojourn" by the Moody Blues. I enjoyed every single song on that one. And my prog rock roots are showing.

"Moment of Glory" by the Scorpions, the one recorded with the Berlin Philharmonic. Just the opening three beats of the very first song - wow.

I'm sure there are others. I've always enjoyed music but am not particularly music-focused. I probably haven't bought new music in 10 or 20 years. Things change.
