Classic albums any true music fan should own or at least listen to (rock, concert)

I didn't read through the whole thread, but I say Alice Cooper's Welcome To My Nightmare.

Sorry, nobody seems to care much about your choices, and I've been a bit busy, I'll do it soon enough.

I've seen you put other albums up there that no one else has commented on, why are mine different?

FOR example, just so my words are not without merit:

Cardboard adolescents entire first list is on there, and no one said "Hey yeah I like that one, too" to everyone of those bands/albums. You know?

You have a point, although in my defense, I didn't have a problem with your entire list, I was gonna put most of it on, but like I said, I had a slight problem putting live albums and best of's on the list, somehow it feels like cheating...I dunno. I shall remedy the situation.

Edit: It's done, but I'd just like you to know that I'll hate you forever for making me put Tommy and Heart there.

Pavement - Slanted & Enchanted (indie rock)

I think that's in somewhat chronological order. I can't be bothered to go through and find the years for all of those, you can discover that well enough on your own. Basically, those are just a few albums that are either defining albums of the genre (like Loveless) or that you just hear namedropped every other record review basically every modern band is basically just ripping them off (Pavement.) That, or they're just absolutely brilliant.

(and yes, Beefheart and Zappa get their own genres, because they're just that good)

Hey. I like those. The ones that aren't bold I've never listened to before.

I'd add:

REM "Murmur" and U2 "War" to the 1980s

I totally know how you feet about heart. I'm sorry you saw Tommy the movie before listening to the album, it might spoil it.

It did.

Arguably THE greatest live album ever.
Everyone should own a copy.

If you want me to take this list of yours seriously Marijan, then you must add those.
Otherwise, I will will refuse to take further part in this thread and never take your taste in music seriously...ever again.
Your damaging our relationship Marijan, possibly beyond repair.
*glares menacingly*

Edit: err... ok...I just looked at the list and it seems What's Going On!, has already been added.
Even so...Live At The Appollo?
*glares slightly less menacingly*

sleepy jack · 02-17-2007, 02:48 AM

Live? LIVE!? >:[ AS IN CONCERT!?

Also, apologies to Marijan i've been slacking on helping with this thread, I will start helping again.

Tomorrow.
