A few weeks ago, I posted "What Are You Reading Right Now?". Got a great cross-section of responses from Freepers. In another month or two, I'll repeat the question. But now, I have another question.
What is favorite CD, album or cassette of all time?
It can be country, blues, 80's-style rock, etc. Anything.
I'll start.
My two favorites are:
"World Falling Down" (1992) by Peter Cetera. Not as sappy as you might think. An album written at a down-time in his life.
"Rebel Yell" (1982) Billy Idol. A great collection of rock songs. Some of his best songs (on this CD) never made the Top 40.
OK, what's your favorite?
1.) Grateful Dead "Live Dead" - "The Eleven" always gives me chills.
2.)Humble Pie "Rockin' the Fillmore" - Peter Frampton before he was PETER FRAMPTON
3.)Deep Purple "Made in Japan" - "Can I have everything louder than everything else?"
I also cannot choose just one CD, so here are a few.
(Warning: all these artists are loony lefties as far as I know).
Cocteau Twins - Heaven or Las Vegas
The Flaming Lips - Clouds Taste Metallic
Stereolab - Emperor Tomato Ketchup
The Fall - Hex Enduction Hour
Peter Gabriel - 3rd album
Genesis - Selling England by the Pound
King Crimson - Red
Laika - Silver Apples of the Moon
The Beatles - Revolver
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Henry's Dream
Talking Heads - The Name of This Band is Talking Heads
The Clash - London Calling
REM - Life's Rich Pageant
Pixies - Doolittle
Curve - Doppleganger
Elvis Costello and the Attractions - This Year's Model
No particular order:
Caravanserai - Santana
Heart Live - Heart
Best of CBD - Charlie Daniels Band
No Shirt, No Shoes, No Problem - Kenny Chesney
License to Chill - Jimmy Buffett
Rumours - Fleetwood Mac
AKUS Live - Alison krause and Union Station
Henry Rollins!
Damn, what has that boy been doing lately?
The last I heard of him - he had some group called The Rollins Project - or something like that.
I know he had a few small roles in some movies too.

A-friggin-men indeed. |
She was still there in the early to mid 90's.
"Yoko Ono, the Mute Years"
Thanks; I'll have to check that out. I'm not even sure the Von Karajan version is on CD; I had heard it from an LP (Deutsche Grammaphon) back in the early 80's. If I recall, it was a simultaneous recording of the BPO in Berlin, and the organist in the Cathedral of Notre Dame in France; pretty high tech for that time.

He seems to be doing more acting lately. On the show "Teen Titans,"(An animated show about a group of teenage superheroes) he was in a couple episodes as one of the show's cooler villains, a biker named Johnny Rancid. He gave Johnny a pretty cool voice.
Cool, another Jazz (Mustapha Ibrahim!) fan! I'm not the only one around here...
Songs, by Rich Mullins
Brian Wilson Presents SMiLE
The Beatles aka "the white album"
Transatlantic Ping-Pong, by Glenn Tilbrook
Amazingly enough, for a guy who doesn't like much new music, two of these four were released in 2004.
Great CD. Talking Heads were fabulous, too.
EVER.
EVER
Except Mr. Roboto was embarrassing.
But everything else was just so cool.
The Cross of Changes
Le Roi est Mort... vivre le Roi!
Both of those travel with me every time.
The soundtrack for Star Wars IV: ANH. The music of John Williams is inspiring, and the first few notes of the theme song are memorable.
Heck, my husband wanted to use the first song off of the soundtrack for our wedding march. As much as I thought about it, I refused.
I can't say anything. I convinced my wife to use the Wedding March from "Flash Gordon." She entered the church to the sound of Brian May's guitar orchestra!
tennyelliott -- "Mr. Roboto" was Styx. Unless you meant "Radio Ga Ga," which was Queen.
Yes, that is what I meant.
