heckofajobbrownie Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 Steve, tell me what you think is the best album from the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, and since the start of the century. You all can chime in as well. And don't move this thread, T. No one cares but you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember Shep always demanding the opposition be censored deleted quarantined or banned? Plus this is a familiar group here, despite our differences.

I think that's probably generational. I was a little older so I wasn't really swept up in to the hard rock of the seventies. I never really got zep or floyd. I realize many of those bands are extremely important. Just right now I'm finishing up a book about 1970 and simon and garfunkel, james taylor, the beatles, and c s n y. Interesting stuff, if not earth shattering. WSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WSS Physical Graffiti still holds up against anyone who has come since. And the variety in there is pretty amazing. I like the Master of the Puppets nod from the new guy. That'd be up there for me. I don't suspect you're a fan, but that was a transitional album. For 90s I'd probably go with OK Computer or Achtung Baby. I think U2 has slipped in a really big way with these last 3-4 albums, but Achtung Baby is just incredible front to back. I'd have to think about the 2000s. The Rising comes to mind.

Chicopee John Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 I'll have to give this some thought. Funny thing for me, at least, that some music I just loved in the 1960 - 1985, doesn't hold up for me these days. Case in point. Going to school in Boston gave me great access to places like The Orpheum, Music Hall, Garden, etc. I eagerly awaited Little Feat's visit each semester and was able to get great seats most of the time. Now I listen to 'Waiting for Columbus' and, although it still sounds good, it lost some of the luster it once had for me. Of course, that band changed drastically in 1979 but - even the vintage stuff - hasn't aged well for me. Probably it's me. I saw dozens of Grateful Dead Shows (not to mention Garcia side projects, etc.) and today I can't believe I once liked that ship. Any way, today I am more into listening to Singer-Songwriters more than bands - again, probably a result of my 'maturity'. Still like some of the 'old guys' though as they still produce - Charlie Musselwhite's, "The Well" being a case in point. Let me have a couple PBRs and I'll be back to this thread.

heckofajobbrownie Posted April 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 Ha. I'm about to go to a bar and watch the Bruins game at this dive where they have PBR on tap, which you don't find many places. You could throw your favorite beers in there, too, if you like. I'd name one for taste, and you favorite when you're having more than one or two. My favorite for a night of drinking: Michelob. No one drinks it anymore, but I think it's great. I'd put Labatt's Blue and Dos Equis in there as well. Favorite beer: Boont Amber Ale from Anderson Valley Brewing Co. Spectacular, especially if you can find it on tap.

Chicopee John Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 I'm looking forward to the Bruins game too. Not a huge hockey fan but my son, Jack, is. Watching sports with him these days is more fun than the sports on TV, it seems. In a few short months he heads to Storrs (UCONN) so I like to take advantage of moments like tonight's game. "Cat's in the Cradle" is a song that hurts to listen to these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calfoxwc Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 You know i wasn't referring to you, Steve. But I see trends. And changing the content of a board is one of them. Trying to isolate conservative members is another, via silence, or personal slurs. It is not a slow news week. It's just a bad week for libs to talk about anything. Obamaocare - I think is going down, ...AZ immigration - I THINK is going down... I like the double live album by Allison Krouse and the Union Station, still. Any album by Brad Paisley is excellent. I don't do much rock. A lot of country I don't like, either. I'm just pretty contrary about music. My favorite music is the great outdoors. @@ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. T Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 And don't move this thread, T. No one cares but you. You will be lucky if my finger doesn't slip and hit the move button.

It does come to mind, we bought one for our daughter at Belks a little over a year ago and she loves it. Now she is always dropping hints when she is out of coffee. If yo check out a near by Kohl's dept. store sometimes you can find the single serving coffees on sale. edit 2: We bought the coffee maker for $69 on sale, that was a bargain!

There must be some sociological and psychological studies about why certain people warm up to, or not, certain important musical milestone artists. I like Black from Metallica.

Westside Steve Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 It is interesting to see the music shift from the topical to the mainstream generation after generation. I think each group upon coming of age musically rebels against not their parents music but their older brothers and sisters. Musical taste, at least among younger fans is a banner of their generation. Glam Rebels against punk who rebelled against metal who rebelled against disco Who rebelled against hippies who rebelled against pop who rebelled against folkies who rebelled against doo wop etc etc. those who complain so much about the controlled medium should remember that the scope of what you had to choose from in the sixty's fifty's forty's thirty's was a hell of a lot tighter than it is now. MTV was a milestone in entertainment and there were barely a handful of videos compared to today. WSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heckofajobbrownie Posted April 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 But MTV doesn't show videos anymore. It's not even about music. It's just teens and 20-somethings with personality disorders trying to find a threesome. YouTube/Vevo/Itunes are the only place to find videos now. It's okay. It's a mostly stupid art form anyway. Do you have a favorite Stones song? I'd probably go Tumbling Dice, but I'd have to think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will happily admit I'm unfamiliar with the Japanese rock music scene. Actually, the Japanese guy who lives next door to me has a band, and when they practice into the wee hours I frequently come close to killing him. I'm just saying. Some languages weren't meant to be sung. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
