Dan,

I agree with everything except one - Some Girls.

That album was the end of the Stones. I had my one and only chance to see them right after that album was released. I spoke to one bloke who went, and he said the concert absolutely sucked, starting with Peter Tosh as warm-up.

Finally, someone mentioned 'Yes'. Anything by Yes Don't forget anything by Moody Blues. Or Todd Rundgren Or Emerson Lake & Palmer Or Bread.........

[peabers]

Some others:

2112, Rush
All the World's a Stage, Rush
Apostrophe, Frank Zappa
So What, Joe Walsh
A Space in Time, Ten Years After
Manassas, Kansas
MSG, Michael Schenker Group
Animal Magnetism, The Scorpions

[hobbes1]

And how Could .....The Scorpions...Tokyo Tapes be absent from this list?

[Cultural Jihad]

Jan Akkerman!! His guitar playing is pure genius. One of the other fellows in the defunct Focus band, Thijs van Leer, had a classical background, and his compositions are really audible mathemetics!

[riley1992]

What did you have to go and start this thread for? Between this one and the 80's one, everytime I go to go do something I think of another and come back down. At this rate I am never going to get anything done today. LOL

Wings-Greatest Hits

[rond]

Yeppers on ABBA. And don't forget Rick Wakeman's "Journey to the Centre of the Earth," a marvelous sprawl of an LP.

Kudos if you got that without looking at the Liner Notes....
