OK Bill where's your list!Originally posted by BillGuitar View Post
Ask me tomorrow or even later today and no doubt it will change but for now I'm going with:
Yes Relayer - it gives me goosebumps even typing this so come on Steve and play it live (all of it dammit)!
Steely Dan Aja - speaks for itself and has since the moment it popped out into the world
Stevie Wonder Songs in the Key of Life - Arno said it first and one of my top 5 favorite concerts ever was seeing Stevie & Co. playing this whole album live
King Crimson Live In Toronto - because we were there when it was recorded and it is a fantastic memory of a wonderful trip to Toronto with Betsy
The Who Quadrophenia - my favorite album from the boys never gets old or tired and one of my favorite headphones albums of all timesComment

I assume this is a classic , current or somewhere in-between rock band list. The albums that have made a big impression on me, and ones that I tend to go back to the most are,
TFTO , Yes, A monumental album by my favorite band. Large volume of great music doesnt hurt.
Beatles 65, I find it more unique and innovative than even Yesterday and Today and Revolver in some ways, not as heavy though.
Apostrophe, Zappa, Encapsulates who Zappa is and his music in general.
Alpha, Asia, Powerful and melodic. I love the fusion pop prog infused with an orchestral edge.
Layla, Eric Clapton, A classic with Clapton at his peak.
Fragile, Yes' most popular and flagship album. My introduction to the band.
Trick of the Tail, Genesis, Best new lead vocalist album ever. Up there with any Gabriel era Genesis.Comment

Yes - Close to the Edge
Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin IV

Saint Etienne. I know I have two cd's from them somewhere, but haven't listened to them in ages. Loved them back in the nineties though.Originally posted by Ash ArmstrongComment

Glad to see Mr Armstrong really bending the rules!
I'd forgotten about Steely Dan (Katy Lied), Joni Mitchell (Hejira), and I should probably put Marquee Moon on my list too.
Maybe we could do top 100s or 500s?

This list would change daily, but for today, my five are…
Yes - Close to the Edge
Yes - Tales from Topographic Oceans
Genesis - Selling England by the Pound
King Crimson - Red
Beatles - Abbey Road
If I did this again next week, a different Yes album, or an album by the Kinks, Traffic, or ELP could join the list. Can’t Buy a Thrill by Steely Dan, and Quadrophenia by the Who would also get consideration on my best of list. So much to choose from…

The answer for today (tomorrow could be different!) might be:
Marillion, Misplaced Childhood
Jethro Tull, Thick as a Brick
Rush, Permanent Waves
Kate Bush, Hounds of Love
Yes, 90125
And five honourables:
U2, The Unforgettable Fire (I was gonna say The Joshua Tree, but I hafta maintain *some* hipster cred)
And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead, Tao of the Dead Part III
Tori Amos, Little Earthquakes
Journey, Escape (don’t judge me)
The Men They Couldn’t Hang, Waiting for Bonaparte
