Yes, I've heard most of their albums, except for the last couple. "Diamond Sea", "Bull In the Heather", and "Dirty Boots" are favorite songs, besides the Dirty ones.

I did have Sonic Nurse, but lost it in the hurricane [>:]

Agents of Fortune (Blue Oyster Cult), 2112 (Rush), Cosmo's Factory (Creedence Clearwater Revival), Animals (Pink Floyd), Appetite for Destruction (Guns and Roses), Rubber Soul (Beatles), Live Bullet (Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band), Back in Black (AC/DC), Toys in the Attic (Aerosmith), Nightrider (Charlie Daniels Band), You Can Tuna Piano but You Can't Tuna Fish (REO Speedwagon), Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison (Johnny Cash), More Songs About Buildings and Food (Talking Heads), I, Robot (Alan Parsons Project), Physical Graffiti (Led Zeppelin).

Nothing eclectic, and I'm sure I could think of others, especially multiple ones from the same performers. These are the ones I love from start to finish, and not just a couple of songs.

Ah since Stella brought in classical music, I'll have to make a few additions.

Growing up, all there was in our house was Classical music so this is what I would most ask my father to play. In general, I always had more of a fondness for the Eastern European composers as their sound was much darker, tormented than the bourgeois.

Dvorak's Symphony No. 9 in E minor, Opus. 95, aka the New World Symphony.

Liszt's Fantasia and Fugue on the Theme B-A-C-H as well as his Faust Symphonie, Op.108

Bartok's String quartet no 2 - I love the Gypsy sound!

And though my father was not that big of an Opera fan, he indulged me with Puccini's Tosca and Madame Butterfly

DomImus -> RE: Seriously good albums (5/26/2010 1:37:12 PM)

I left one out: Judas Priest - British Steel. Just watched a live dvd from 2009 where they played the album live in its entirety. Rob Halford may not be able to wail like he did thirty years ago but he can still wail. In his prime there was simply no heavy metal singer that could touch him. He was the quintessential heavy metal singer and still packs a powerful punch. The rest of the band hasn't lost a step.



divi -> RE: Seriously good albums (5/26/2010 1:38:51 PM)

ahhh Judas Priest
I lost my virginity to one of their songs

areallivehuman -> RE: Seriously good albums (5/27/2010 2:55:29 AM)

I see there are some Johnny Cash fans, anyone ever hear "The American Part IV"?. All cover songs/classics; "Streets of Laredo", great version of the Eagles "Desparado"; Beatles "In My Life"; covers Nine Inch Nails "Hurt", absofuckinglutely owns "Danny Boy". I'll send a copy to anyone who requests it. If I can figure out how and when I find the time.
And to the original poster, that Dead show July 4,1989, Rich Stadium Buffalo NY was a classic late Dead performance, I can even remember some of it.

That's a whole other thread, isn't it? In my case it was Henry's Dream by Nick Cave. Bizarrely I forgot to list anything by Cave, or Music For A New Society by John Cale...
