Stevie Ray Vaughan - Texas Flood - I don't really care for listening to full blues albums since they start to sound repetitive after 3 or 4 songs (such is the nature of the genre)

Ramones - Ramones - Yeah, who needs to listen to complex music, anyway? This one is probably my favourite album from the Ramones, though I really only listen to them on a song-per-song basis 95% of the time. Choice cuts: Blitzkrieg Bop, Judy Is A Punk, Havana Affair.

I agree, although Vaughan's guitar never fails to impress me Wink

It's so simple that they repeat themselves so easily LOL

I did not say Ricochet is "the best" TD albums, I just added that it is among my favorites that I listed earlier. As for now, my favorite is probably Alpha Centauri, "Fly and Collision of Comas Sola" is undoubtedly my #1 TD track.

I totally forgot about Ricochet while listing my fave TD albums, of course it's my favorite!

Uh huh

Absolutely agree on Alpha Centauri, probably among my 25 or so favorite albums, and Comas Sola being the best TD track, probably followed by Birth of Liquid Plejades for me. I love TD's electronic albums as much as anybody, but their first two are likely my favorite krautrock albums and certainly the best from TD.

Mike Westbrook - Metropolis One of my favorite albums right now. This is so original and unique. Duke Ellington-like big-band playing avant-fusion suite in nine parts, that spreads through the whole album. And the progressive spirit is there! Magnificent work.

Cervello - Melos My #1 Rock Progressivo Italiano record. There is just something about these melodies and harmonies that makes this such a distinctive beast. Instrumentation and arrangements are also extremely unorthodox. Terrific album.

Love Live Life + One - Love Will Make A Better You I haven't heard a lot of Japanese psychedelia yet, but I am aware that it was a big movement, significant for the youth of the time. This album is a mix of rough garage/psychedelic rock, collective free improvisation, and some classical music. Pretty nice!

Art Zoyd - Haxan This is very difficult music indeed. I like the idea of this half-an-hour electronic overture and how the rest of the album goes with its mix of chamber rock, industrial, and experimental electronic. I cannot fully enjoy this yet (it does take time, doesn't it?), but I can definitely appreciate the effort and musicianship.

Trying to get tired of that album? Tongue

Lol that's no easy task

Van Halen - 1984 - Classic Van Halen, plain and simple. The only thing I'm not fond of is the keyboard-based tracks (Jump, I'll Wait) but all of the actual hard rock tracks are among their finest. House of Pain is my personal favourite EVH solo.

Grateful Dead - Sunshine Daydream 8/27/72 - Best show ever, maaaaan! All killer, no filler, the whole band was giving it their all for this one. The Promised Land opener kicks butt, and this show must have one of (if not the) best renditions of China Cat -> Rider they ever laid down. The psychedelic cuts are also breathtaking; Playing In The Band is phenomenal and this may just be one of the deepest, jazziest, most exploratory Dark Stars in their entire catalogue. I absolutely recommend this show to any fans of early rock n roll, blues, folk, roots, psychedelic or just live music in general. A true piece of Americana!
