[Big Guy and Rusty 99]

Of course, that's my opinion . . . I could be wrong.

[SuzyQue]

I'd add The Duane Allman Anthology, Mad Dogs & Englishmen, & Blood on the Tracks

[SuzyQue]

Oops. Sorry, take Duane out. Too bad. But add Humble Pie, Live at the Fillmore"

[Mr. Blonde]

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Blood Sugar Sex Magick
The Drive-by Truckers - The Dirty South
Audioslave - Audioslave
The White Stripes - Elephant
The Rolling Stones - Sticky Fingers

Plus several I didn't want to repeat from your list.

I didn't include Blood on the Tracks because I tend to skip "Lilly, Rosemary, & the Jack of Hearts"

[nonliberal]

Motorhead-Ace of Spades

Guns N'Roses-Appetite for Destruction

Nirvana is absolute dreck.

[WhiteGuy]

I respect your opinions...............

The 70's

The RAMONES blazed the trail stormed by the Clash and the SEX PISTOLS..................Give them some respect...................... They all ROCK

Acknowledge the influence of Springsteen in the 70's

Hair, Glam, Punk and pop were of no interest to many.........................

[MotleyGirl70]

I like your 1980's pick.

[dfwgator]

Oh yes, Dire Straits, but I have to go with Love Over Gold.

[wagglebee]

I would add REM's "Murmer" to the 1980's and replace Elvis Costello's "My Aim is True" with "Armed Forces." Other than that, great list.

[Big Guy and Rusty 99]

They moved the terror alert up? (harvey birdman joke.)

[JennysCool]

"Telegraph Road"? I'm there!

[wagglebee]

"Love Over Gold" is by far their best album, "Brothers in Arms" was WAY overrated.

[JennysCool]

I've burned up a few of those! :-)

[nonliberal]

The Ramones-Road to Ruin

I'm Against It is probably my favorite Ramones tunes.

[Big Guy and Rusty 99]

for me it was either "My Aim Is True" or "Spike."

"God's Comic" is the most beautiful song he's written yet.

[dfwgator]

Brothers in Arms get criticism from hard core Straits fans because it had too many "hits." But the non-hits are what make the album, "Your Latest Trick" "Why Worry" and the title track are as good as anything Knopfler and Co ever did.
