What is the best album, or CD that you've ever owned?

[seenred]

I grew up loving both Rock and Country.

It's my humble opinion the greatest Rock studio album (non-live and non-greatest hits) is Boston's self-titled debut album.




If you include anthology or greatest hits albums, I'd pick The Eagles Greatest Hits 1971-1975




And hands down, my favorite country album is from The King himself - George Strait's Strait From the Heart.

Definitely hard to pick one, but "Who's Next" would be at the top.

When I was a teenager I was given the George Strait box set and it was one of the greatest gifts I've ever received. Why? The great music but also the memories to be made riding around on country roads, back roads, and just living life in a small town with not much to do. It had an amazing song for every situation.

This is a hard one I have so many favorite artists.
The first album I ever bought, I still have it but it is literally worn out.


This is One to listen to over and over again.


We are Gonna Blow Your Face OUT!!

Bought new in 1975 . Listened to it daily when I got home from school .
Need to get me a turntable . Found a bunch of good ones .

tried our darndest to record songs off the radio.

I remember those old Cassette players. I too tried many times to record off the Radio.

Dang DJ was always stepping on the intro or the ending of the songs!

Local radio station here had a Sunday night program called the 7th day . They would play albums start to finish . No commercials . I recorded a bunch of stuff .
I had a JVC setup where all the components were synced together . Made recording easy . I used to use a VHS player and record 8hrs on one tape .
I still have all that stuff . From 1986 .

For me Bob Seger Live Bullet Album. I drove solo across this country many times jamming this one!

 

[Gonna Smoke]

Boston, Bob Segar, Foghat are just some of favorites, but there's just so many more that are great. But Journey...


I believe Steve Perry has/had the greatest voice in rock history...

 

[JLinza]

Chris Ledoux for me, I wore out my Dad's tape of this album when I was a kid.

 

[Brokenhandle]

I'd have to say Big and Rich... Comin to Your City.



Will add that it's humbling to know Niles... we met him through friends on our yearly trip to Deadwood S.D. On the few days we are there we visit the VFW on friday afternoon, and have some beers.

Wow J Geils. Wooba Gooba with the green teeth. Let me in!!!! I haven't heard that in years. As for Purple. I had Machine Head(Album and cassette), but Made in Japan had the best rendition of Smoke on the Water.

I think Smoke on the Water is still the most recognized tune by the first couple of guitar licks. Thank you to that some stupid with a flair gun and burned the place to the ground.

That's great! I'm trying to think which album I'd list, and never thought of Who's Next. They're my favorite group.

“Reckless Precision” by Tuck Andress.

All together, everybody, “Who??”

 

[HowlingDog]

This is a trip down memory lane!! Some great music listed here.

For me, #1 would be:

Neil Diamond: Hot August Night (Live Greek Theater)



Pink Floyd Animals is there:

And so you won't think I didn't grow up on rock n roll,

The Who, Long Live Rock:

Ahhh.... when music was worth listening to....

 

[texomakid]

There's only one correct answer ...

 

[bbqbrett]

For me it would probably be a tie. I am guessing I have listened to these two albums more over the years than anything else.

 

[SmokinEdge]

To many to pick one. This was the Golden Age of music. So many greats.

One of my most internet quotes is:

“I was raised on Hank Jr. and A/C D/C, what’s your excuse “

This fits the wide range, but I do like the old country outlaws too.

Pink Floyd Animals is there:

Posted Pink Floyd Wish you were here , ( edit : Welcome to the Machine ) above . Animals is another big favorite of mine .

For me Bob Seger Live Bullet Album. I drove solo across this country many times jamming this one!

There's too much cool music in this thread... could spend more time than I have talking about it, but being a native of the Detroit area Bob Seger's music will forever be a part of my life.

Best of Bowie
