Albums That Blew You Away

[jamey.p 3]

I really like this album. It just relaxes me.It's not complicated.

 

[spark1]

Beck - "Odelay" and "Guero"...still sound fresh, even after all the years.

I'm With Her - "See You Around". I never get tired of it.

Thelonius Monk - "Straight, No Chaser". The off-beat time sigmatures and syncopation create a wonderful tension.

Allman Brothers - "At Fillmore East". Their interpretation of the blues, and Duane Allman's amazing slide guitar blew me away when I first heard it, and still does. The talent in this band was outstanding across the board

Simply a masterpiece .

 

[damacman]

RATM - s/t ... epic in every sense of the word.

 

[Daddy Bone]

Neil Young - Tonight's The Night. He actually delayed the release for almost two years. Dark, dreary lyrics. Under-produced. A real train wreck. Can't look away.

I'll add this one to my mind blowing list-

And this one...

 

[KevinJS]

The one I'm listening to right now. Discovered it courtesy of @Dusty Ol'Man when we were exploring various offshoots of other bands. Dream Theater and Marilion led to Transatlantic, which led to Neal Morse and Spocks Beard. Interesting trip.

The Great Adventure:

Big album. It comes on three of these:

It's been mentioned already, but I will second it!

I just love that cover so much so I bought the Album mint years ago just to look at...still haven't opened it up to play to this very day, just cannot bear to tear the cellophane cover off it!

In the Court of the Crimson King
Live at Leeds
Below the Bassline
Naturally
The use of Ashes
Can't buy a thrill
Abraxas
Cosmo's factory
It is and it isn't
Desperado
The Blues and abstract truth

Many more but these were the one's that i first chased after...they just pulled me up and said...hey son...listen to this!...

You have to! It will quickly supplant the others you've listed and become your all-time favorite. The interplay between Cipollina's razor-sharp SG and Duncan's precision rhythm and fills, and the dynamic and dramatic structure of the composition juxtaposed with Freiberg and Elmore's (literally) locomotive rhythm section will make your brains come out your ears.

Noooooo!!! I don't want to be distracted from looking at that amazing cover and dreaming about the wonderful times i use to ride my Suzuki GS-1000 motor bike, roaring along, blue skies, leathered arms in front of my visor holding the grips...
Flying to and from my 7 acre 'alternate' farm, long gone, on tarmacked journeys of over 2000klms along the Australian Eastern seaboard, to and from my first sweet love sally...waving hello...good bye as i returned to work in the QLD coalfields..
