Jack Bruce--"Songs For a Tailor"
And I was dropping the needle on a couple of copies of Beatles For Sale" in advance of selling them and came to realize "No Reply" is just overwhelmingly great.

Past few weeks have been all about the first Planxty album.

that's strange Euler - Kimono is really the one album that everyone can agree on. Sparks are really kind of spotty and you could do well just by skipping their entire 80s and 90s work. But their debut s/t album, Kimono, Propaganda, No.1, Big Beat, and the three they released this decade are all quite good.

I've had these for a little while but have been re-listening to them recently and they have become very much some of my favorite albums:
Amon Duul II, Tanz der LemmingeCaptain Beefheart, Safe as MilkThe Byrds, Fifth Dimension

I have little patience for what I call "Cats Rock"---I hate musicals for the most part---& Kimono My House sounded like that to me. I'll give it another shot, but I'm going to have fight through my instinctive aversion to that kind of thing (hate Queen for the same reason).

Euler if you liked No. 1 Song in Heaven get Terminal Jive, the second one they did with Moroder. it's not as icy-cold but it is very good

I picked this up recently as well -- can't say I was knocked out, but it's certainly a strong album and a solid addition to anyone's collection if you're eager for more krauty stuff.

The four Grace Jones Albums (Warm Leathrette - Slave to the Rhythm) were pretty mindblowing and classic. "Walking in the Rain" is just great in its dated 80s synthesizers and Grace's menacing voice, and "I've Done It Again" proves she can actually sing.
David Bowie's Station to Station - I'm still trying to figure this album out, but it always leaves me intrigued after a full spin. I love "Golden Years." Very funky. I also liked that David was apparently so baked he can't remember what he was thinking while recording.
Lou Reed's Transfomer I didn't know "Walk on the Wilde Side" exited until two weeks ago. It's a great song. I was a little put off by the colored girl's line but then realized that in the lyrics he is talking about the Andy Warhol's superstars who are really screwed up so I got off my PC horse quickly.

Heaps of Joni Mitchell like Court & Spark and Ladies Of The Canyon. Don't know if it's considered classic, but I checked out Bad Religion's album Suffer, based on it being ILMs favourite and it's pretty great.

Mine was Screamadelica. I thought Primal Scream was like, a grunge band.
Also the Stone Roses debut. Heard a lot about it, it seemed like one of those overhyped critic's faves that's good but obnoxious and overwrought (see also: Arcade Fire, Neutral Milk Hotel).

Finally, after many years reading about them, I listened to the NY Dolls debut. Wow. There was a Stones-vibe I about the Dolls that I wasn't expecting. I love the Stones, so yeah.

i love zz top but i guess i don't consider el loco "classic" compared to the earlier ones....i think they start to fade a bit starting with deguello, and then obv with eliminator they become something different.

ZZ top is like Rush for me: the early guitar stuff is the best, the 80's shiny, synth stuff does nothing for me. Give me Rio Grande Mud, 3 Hombres or Fandango any day. THe middle period stuff is ok.

that's not a track off Nowhere obvs but that's the first song on a good live video, all of which is up on that guy's You Tube account.
also we saw the new upcoming Creation movie 'Upside Down' last night and that does a fantastic job of at last giving Ride the credit they deserve. Mark G saying that essentialy Ride paid for Loveless but he was happy about that!
