1. Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel-Face to Face (best live-album ever)
2. Fischer-Z - Word Salad
3. Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffitti
4. Lou Reed- Coney Island Baby
5. Mother's Finest- Another Mother Further
6. Black Sabbath- Master of Reality
7. Peter Gabriel- any of his untitled ones, but OK, the first.
8. AC/DC- If you want blood you've got it
9. The Police- Outlandos D'amour
10. Ted Nugent- Double Live Gonzo!

I was very much into live-albums.....so I put in a bunch.

But for me this is impossible. There's so much I left off that should be there.
Patti smiths' Horses should be , and the Kick inside....The Wall? Oh gerald shame on you....

Oh, and did I ever mention the fact that Tusk is the best album ever recorded by anyone? just to put things in perpective....

saw it two days ago for the Ughst time while boozing with two muso's (thanks for growing my vocabulary, sharon). If I step on a million one day I'll start a vinyl record/CD store. With those two muso's I got drunk with. I'll die earlier, but happier.

PS: i've got my collection in alphabetical order for years now. It's the only thing in my life I have a system for.

Mother's Finest? No ****?

You probably know this, but did you know that the bass player in Mother's Finest played bass for Stevie on the greatest tour she ever did? I always wanted to track down Mother's Finest albums but never did.

Too many to list, but I'll try. Even though it will be more than ten.

1. Blondie - Plastic Letters/Eat To the Beat
2. Talking Heads - '77/Fear of Music (Honorable mention to More Songs About Buildings and Food simply because it has "Artist's Only")
3. Television - Marquee Moon
4. David Bowie - Aladdin Sane/Station To Station/Low
5. Emmylou Harris - Elite Hotel/Luxury Liner
6. Patti Smith - Horses (Easter, surprisingly, is my least favorite album of hers)
7. Bonnie Raitt - Bonnie Raitt/Sweet Forgiveness
8. The Pretenders - Pretenders
9. Lou Reed - Transformer
10. Bette Midler - The Rose soundtrack

That was released in 1980, I believe. The three lead singles came out in 79, but the record came out in 1980.

I gotta think about this first.

It was January of 1980. It's cutting it close. Maybe we can cut him a break with this one.

You're right. I believe "Stop Your Sobbing" came out in January '79, but the actual album wasn't released until January '80. But I added it to my list anyway.

Heart - Dreamboat Annie

Peter Frampton - Frampton Comes Alive

AND ---- The End Of An Era: The Award Winning Beaumont High School Sweepstakes Symphony Orchestra and Symphonic Band. Yes, we made an album...I was a "band geek" as my kids put it!

It certainly does. Her performances are insanely intense on that record. Listening to it has the same impact on you that watching it does, imo. That one will get me lunging throughout my apartment and screaming at the top of my lungs along to it. Love the fact that it was recorded at actual live rock shows that she put on. I traded for some audience recordings of the shows that a guy had, but he burned me and I never got 'em. Asshole.
