The Greatest Albums of All Time...

[somebodyelse]

7 pages and not one mention of Jethro Tull?
I don not recognize the author-i-tie of this list...

You must have missed Aqualung in Post #40

You must have missed Aqualung in Post #40

So I did
Not the Tull album I would have chosen, but it still lends a bit of credibility to this wayward thread
Paranoid is very appropriate

Edit: Oops, never mind, I’m late to the party - lol.

Fear not good sir, you have been covered

I’d rank Pink Floyd

1. Meddle
2. Animals
3. Then - Dark Side

Any top Rock album list is incomplete without:

- Jethro Tull - Aqualung
- Black Sabbath - Paranoid

History tells us otherwise.
Make no mistake, Atouk had started rock-n-rollin' -under the oppressive regime of Tonda- on or about October 9th, One Zillion BC.

Stick it to The Man! ... or to The Hominid, as the case might be.

Personally, I'd rather drive a skewer between my ears rather than listen to the same song/album over-and-over again!

There is a similar thread by @mglobe about "Your album of choice at the end of the world?"

Actually not my thread, but I did contribute and it’s worth time visiting.

Didn't even think about that at the time I posted, but I think I'd rather have silence than only one album to play. I can listen to music in my mind anytime I want anyway.

Keep a pair of drum-sticks and a coconut handy... in case you don't know how to play the air-guitar w/your mind music.

Many great picks here.

I want to add
"Hounds of Love" by Kate Bush.
Especially side B (the ninth wave) is truly a masterpiece.

As a long time Jethro Tull addict, I also want to mention the three albums of their folk era:

Songs from the Wood
Heavy Horses
and
Storm Watch (the Steven Wilson remix with the bonus tracks)

I'll have to check out that particular Kate Bush, as other stuff I have heard by her did not attract my attention to her.
The Tull stuff was great then & still is.

I gave this a try. I guess that it simply is NOT my cup of tea, so to say.

My problem with Tull is that each one (including his small church venue stuff): is better than each other one at the time that I am playing it.

That's a burden I have bore for many years
Just man-up and deal with it

Q1: Would Stevie Wonder's "Songs in the Key of Live" be worth -at least- an honorable mention?
Q2: Would that be considered Stevie Wonder's 'seminal' release?

OT: It's a BOGO, 2CD set.

Misplaced childhood isn't even the best album Marillion made.

You've an interesting definition of "prog rock" there.

Hey, now! I scored 15 out of 25, that I owned/own.
Do I win anything?

Doesn't matter what you -and me- call them.

Those may have been essential back then but became nostalgia-rock.
Would 'Alt-rock' of this era be considered @Mr. Swordfish' prog-rock of yore?
