    NRBQ - At Yankee Stadium. Virtually impossible to pick one, as you feel you're betraying hundreds of others. But I'd have to say this is the record that grabbed me when it was released in 1978, and has continued to grab me all these years, even this afternoon when I played air-guitar, air-piano, air-bass, air-drums, air-trombone (!!!) , and sang along driving through North Idaho in the truck: Still the most diverse, wild, funny, groovy record I've ever heard. Love it.

    It's a great choice. Have loved the Q for 30+ years as you probably noted from that other thread you bumped. Gonna go see Terry and his "New Q" in about a month, dude is really something special, can't wait.

    I can't explain why. For some reason, it always puts me in a good mood.

    Countdown to Ecstasy

    Been listening to this since the 70s, so many gems. It's a difficult exercise. I would guess that the younger mags arent participating since it seems that most music is released to be purchased one song at a time these days. Too bad most will never appreciate an album release, going to the record store to buy it, and sitting around with friends listening to it over and over. I have so many memories of listening to tunes with friends, saving for albums, spending HOURS in record stores....

    Appetite for Destruction. Everything I listened to before that I got from my parents- who were (are) generally cool but didn't want to buy such an explicit album for their nine-year-old- and everything I listened to afterwards was mine. Plus it fucking kicks ass. The second half of "Rocket Queen" is, basically, the high point of the last thirty years of music.

    Heh - I would have been ~11yo. It's never too late, however!

    Another pair, slightly less favored than my previous entry:

    Hey fuck you.

    Nah who cares I was just trying to stop people from listing every album they can remember the name of like usually happens in threads like this. Good choices all but I kinda thought you might go:



    But what do I know?

    That's a pretty good one, really good actually. And I might have gone for the box set, but I listen to the ones I listed more, and box sets are cheating in lists like this.

    I'm not a huge SD fan, but this is a great pick. Boddhisatva (sp?), man, what a hook. This was one of my earliest albums to love once I was choosing (as opposed to just listening to stuff the older brothers put on, though one of my older brother's friends did introduce me to it).

    I keep mulling over this thread, and without going back to look at my catalog (which would probably defeat the purpose) I just keep coming back to this. I would expect that I would be drawn to something older, more foundational, but this is the one.



    A close second would be:

    Lot of Fucking good music in this thread and I love my 60's music

    But in college I listened to this a lot and always get a big grin in my heart when I listen to it still.

    Joe Jackson's "I'm the Man" falls squarely in this category. (college, big grin in heart)

    if by "twisting one up" you mean make raunchy man love, you can still do it. just remember that it's harder to twist short ones.

    Well, I gotta go with something a little different than what's been posted so far. There's just something about this album that got me in it's grips way back when I was just a little guy and still won't let me go all these years later. Musical flavors have come and gone over the years but this album has stuck with me.
