Thanks for that, I totally forgot about that. I was just thinking I'm neither a Beatles man nor a Stones man. I am definitely an Elvis man.

So are there "Beach Boys men"?

And, of course, we all know there are "Madonna men". But that's okay. Different strokes for different folks.

I'd be a Pink Floyd man, but now we are seriously drifting away from Mia's "test".

The two that introduced me to hi-fi (and still play well) are King Crimson's "In the Court of the Crimson King" and Rolling Stones "Sympathy for the Devil". Otherwise, the list in all genres is way too long.

I had assumed it was "What's Happenin'"

Hey! I'm a Madonna man...but not a "Madonna man" in the sense you are talking about.

A few of my favorites

John Mayall BLUESBREAKERS (Decca LK/SKL 4804) 1965

The 22 Robert Johnson 78 Siingles Not an album but records to cherish

Jefferson Airplane Surrealistic Pillow


John B

 

[formulacarl]

I would have to say
Kraftwerk - The Man-Machine (1978)
Very accessible album, very fun.

 

[OneMalt]

Some of the early Steely Dan ranks right up there..."Can't Buy A Thrill" or "Countdown To Ecstasy".

Everyone is either a Beatles man or a Stones man." I was like um, no. Rolling Stones has never done much for me either.

Mia in Pulp Fiction said either you're an Elvis man or a Beatles man. Try Elvis, man.

Sixteen years later...I like the Beatles now. How is everyone?

If Pop....

The First 6 Queen Albums.

Alan Parson's I-Robot

Pink Floyd's - Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall.

Bee Gees - Saturday Night Fever Soundtrack

Boston - 1st Album

Really, there is no end to the list, so, i'll just stop.

Strange thread. Should maybe read "Name any truly great albums made after 1979'

The 60s and particuly the 70s were the pinnacle for music, at least rock, and pop music. [edit.. and Folk, Singer-song writer etc)


Answer for me... Too many to choose but if push comes to shove then there can only be one ... The, sorry, but fairly obvious not particuly original; the ubiquitous, over played but perfect and peerless. :. Dark Side of the Moon

 

[taffy2207]

First off, I hate the word 'Best'.

My favourite Album pre-1980 is probably 'Nick Drake - Five Leaves Left' (1969). It will probably surprise people here as I'm primarily a Metalhead and also because it's not considered his 'best' Album.

But, hell, it feels as fresh and utterly beguiling as the first day I played it circa 1977.

 

[god-bluff]

Agree it is a wonderful album by a gentle genius who was taken from us far too early

This is almost exactly what I was going to say. I feel like after the 1970s there is almost nothing worth listening to.

I became an old fart while I wasn't paying attention....
