Great thread, I love the responses!
I started jotting down artists and albums for a list two days ago and came up with a humongous list. So I started narrowing it down and was thinking that the titles I had chosen kind of fell into two categories. Interestingly I found that except for three titles which made both *, I had two entirely different lists.
A) Titles that I played the shit out of, and were my definite favorites back during that time period.
B) Titles that now, in retrospect, are what I feel is truly deserving of my top ten. (I'm guessing this is probably the list that Linda had in mind at the start of the thread).
Now I know whenever we have threads of "Top Ten" or whatever, that someone always exceeds the limit. Well, I guess I'll be that guy this time and include my second list just for fun.
I'm going to start with list B:
1) Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here *
2) The Who - Who's Next *
3) Led Zeppelin - II
4) Dire Straits (self titled) *
5) The Rolling Stones - Let It Bleed
6) CSN&Y - Deja Vu
7) Traffic - Mr. Fantasy
8) Jethro Tull - Minstrel In The Gallery
9) Cream - Disraeli Gears
10) Jimi Hendrix - Are You Experienced
11) Bob Marley - Exodus
12) Elton John - Madman Across The Water
13) The Beatles - Abbey Road
14) Big Brother & The Holding Company - Cheap Thrills
15) Santana - Abraxas
16) Jefferson Airplane - Surrealistic Pillow
17) Frank Zappa - One Size Fits All
18) Robin Trower - Bridge of Sighs
19) Roxy Music - Stranded
20) Patti Smith - Horses
Just for fun, this is my list A:
1) Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here *
2) The Who - Who's Next *
3) Dire Straits (self titled) *
4) The Rolling Stones - Sticky Fingers
5) Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti
6) The Guess Who - American Woman
7) Golden Earring - Moontan
8) David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust
9) Bad Company (self titled)
10) Rush - A Farewell To Kings
11) Boston (self titled)
12) CCR - Cosmos Factory
13) Black Sabbath - Paranoid
14) Frank Zappa - Apostrophe
15) Jethro Tull - Aqualung
16) Three Dog Night - Naturally
17) Blue Oyster Cult - Secret Treaties
18) Van Halen (self titled)
19) Eagles - Hotel California
20) UFO - Lights Out
So many great ones that didn't make the cut, however I see a few of them on other members lists.
