[yellowdogintexas]

54. got my Dan ready for my big road trip tomorrow

along with Boz Scaggs, Eagles, Doobies, Steppenwolf and other of my best road travelin favorites.


I LOVE Steely Dan on a long drive. I don't listen to them that often otherwise but can't travel without them. It ain't fittin' it just ain't fittin'!

[MissMillie]

Tikki

[SteppingRazor]

12. London Calling, Exile on Main Street, and pretty much anything Dylan did between 62 and 75...

except Self-Portrait, of course. Also, his last three albums are awesome, especially Love and Theft.

Of course, there's tons of others. Someone early said Graceland is a nearly perfect album, and I think I'd second that, in the sense that each note on the album seems to fit a whole in a way that few albums can approximate.

[driver8]

14. Graceland is an amazing album, IMHO.

I love the South African guitar throughout this album. Not only are the songs amazing, but the performances are unique and simply incredible.

[underpants]

30. Exile, Urge Overkill's Satruation, oh and I have to mention B-52's Cosmic Thing

I listened to that the last night of basic training while I cleaned every square millimeter to make SURE we left the next day. It was the only thing even close to passable in the collection brought by new recruits of 1990 (think Dokken and Ratt) with a put together walk man.

Really good album.

[mainegreen]

27. Meddle fer sure....my kids, and I, like Green Day as well

Of course, the language isn't exactly appropriate for a 7 year old.......

[LynneSin]

39. I found certain ironies at the last GD concert I saw (at merriweather btw)

At one point Armstrong had some 10 year old kid on stage playing his guitar and the next song armstrong had his hands down his pants mastubating.

He's all over the board
