Completely agree. Listened to Quadrophenia again earlier. Very good record, even if the faux-folk acoustic pieces are a bit of a let-down.


I will always prefer Who's Next. Surprisingly high quality on all the songs, and energy to die for. Quadrophenia have amazing highs, but too may disappointing lows to beat Who's Next.  


I'll have to pick that up sometime (my The Who collection is currently Tommy + Quadrophenia). I also need to get some Rolling Stones, Beatles, Iron Maiden or Metallica stuff sometime, because I feel that these bands are probably important.

Rolling Stones and Metallica are kinda neglected by me, but at least for a reason - I never really liked what I heard.

woah, you guys talk about MUSIC in here!?  I've been missing outLOL
 
I can give you a rec on the Stones:  they're kinda hit/miss for me, but the meat and potatoes albums like Let it Bleed, Exile, Sticky Fingers, Beggars Banquet - those are all good.  I started with LiB and wasn't disappointedThumbs Up

We talk about music a lot, join in. It's just that there's no STAY ON TOPIC rule in here. A mini-version of PA - but relaxed and often...quite odd.

I can help you with Beatles and Maiden then Big smile

I'd go for Magical Mystery Tour, Abbey Road and the great but transitional Revolver as a start. White Album, Rubber Soul and Sgt. Pepper are a little bumpier, but I love them almost as much.

Iron Maiden is easy. Powerslave and Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son are absolutely essential. You won't find better melodic pseudo-proto-prog metal than that, unless you prefer another Maiden album Wink Next step could actually be a newer album, Brave New World, Dance of Death or A Matter of Life and Death Smile

I'm not a big Beatles guy, but I have to agree that Abbey Road is a good album.  Plus it has one of my all-time favorite tracks, Here Comes the Sun.  I'm a Maiden n00b as well; my Dad was a huge fan back in the day so I'll have to raid his cassette tape collection some time (haha).

I've seen them live twice and I'm sure as hell gonna be there next time they're here. I never cared much for music until I suddenly fell in love with Judas Priest and Iron Maiden.

No. Angry

It must be there to differentiate THE BEST ALBUMS EVER from albums that barely miss that mark.
It's actually kind of incredibly annoying.
 
Well while I disagree with you on Animals and DSOTM (well, I would a year and a half ago, I haven't listened to it since), can I say that CTTE, ITCOTCK are pushing 3 stars? SEBTP was pretty bad when I revisited it recently--maybe I wasn't in the right mood--and I fear that other classic prog will be the same. So I haven't gotten around to the rest of my prog collection because I don't want to ruin the memory.
 
But I never liked CTTE and ITCOTCK at all, and listening to real jazz took away the enjoyment of Schizoid Man, which makes that album worthless to me.

All of us seems to have at least one classical album we just don't like.

I used to love Genesis, too, which makes me pretty sad.
 
But yeah, everything about CTTE seems to be designed to drive me crazy. I used to rate Relayer 5 stars, but who knows now that I actually like jazz.

Open your eyes, man. :P
 
Although I've always had problems with most jazz rock, and I'm not sure why. This whole conversation is probably just me being elitist again, but the reason I used to think Schizoid Man was so awesome was because it was seemed like such agressive groundbreaking music to me, and I liked it for that and the dissonant rocking out factor. But it totally pales compared to Ayler or Brotzmann, which was over 5 years earlier. If you're listening to it for the melody, then I guess that doesn't matter.
