 | The Last Record Album by Little Feat
Buy used from: $3.99 Don't ever compare with any "Southern Rock" - this is infinitely more sophisticated
|
 | That's My Kick/Gemini by Erroll Garner
Buy new: $9.98 / Used from: $2.99 The first Jazz purest to turn me on to this wonderful compelling kind of music - still my favorite pianist
|
 | Born to Run by Bruce Springsteen
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $2.95 I was still not paying too much attention to lyrics; in spite of great poetic heights, the music itself blew me away (I probably heard words more than I wanted to admit). "Darkness..." was great, too.
|
 | Wave by Antonio Carlos Jobim
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $5.77 Then and now, some of the most beautiful music of any genre; smoooooth and cooool.
|
 | Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $7.19 Arresting, haunting, compelling, but in a different way than "Dark Side..." (which is on my 'teen years' list) Impossible for me to compare or contrast; both awesome.
|
 | Winter Light by Oregon
Buy new: $11.98 / Used from: $6.99 Gorgeous - all acoustic Witchi-Tai-to is one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever recorded (also "Distant Hills" is great)
|
 | Court and Spark by Joni Mitchell
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $5.00 Not to be underrated just because it's her most commercial effort; this is still mesmerizing pop with great poetic lyrics
|
 | The Hissing of Summer Lawns by Joni Mitchell
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $3.95 Amazingly original then and now. Uncomparable with anyone, including her own other works
|
 | Fear of Music by Talking Heads
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $3.51 Fantastic Funk/Punk! So White it's Black! So Black it's White! The animals are laughing at us!
|
 | Armed Forces by Elvis Costello & the Attractions
Buy used from: $3.45 What's so funne 'bout peace, love, and understandin'?
|
 | In the Slot by Tower of Power
Buy used from: $4.94 Just enough - and TOO MUCH!
|
 | Soul Searching by Average White Band
Buy new: $8.96 / Used from: $3.99 James Brown apprentices got it right better than any other Caucazoids on the planet
|
 | Your Mind Is on Vacation by Mose Allison
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $8.98 Mose got it right, too; just in a different way: Soul/Blues/Jazz with incredible piano styling
|
 | Jackson Browne (Saturate Before Using) by Jackson Browne
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $3.81 Beautiful! This one will get you on the good side of that girl you've been 'Looking Into'
|
 | Blind Faith by Blind Faith
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $4.50 Perfect melding of Cream and Traffic
|
 | Striking It Rich by Dan Hicks & His Hot Licks
Buy new: $9.98 / Used from: $3.59 Great quaint feel - my favorite violin solo on " I Scare Myself"
|
 | Birds of Fire by Mahavishnu Orchestra With John McLaughlin
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $4.59 Distorted classical-oriented Jazz-Rock? Whatever it is, it still freaks me out.
|
 | Open Up and Say...Ahh! by Poison
Buy used from: $0.31 You don't really think I'm serious, do you? This is why I couldn't fill 25 choices: this was the 80's. YECCHHH! I hate all that hair-schlock-rock so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
