I played on Halftime Classics. We recorded over three nights at Hill Auditorium under the direction of George Cavender.
Nice! That is awesome!
My younger brother was on a couple of the more recent ones as well, but had to shout out the ultimate classics of course.
The Dave Brubeck Quartet - Time Out
Russian Circles - Empros
Violent Femmes - Self Titled

agreed, that's a great, underappreciated album. I think it works so well because all 11 songs are good and they just flow, one to the next. As a plus, the album cover is iconic.

I listen to that thing over and over like a 2 year old with a Barney video.
Now YOU have good taste in music. You can't go wrong with London Calling, early REM, early Replacements and Too Far To Care is an outstanding album (actually saw The Old 97's play the whole album in its entirety a few years ago......the same night that Denard got hurt against Nebraska).
Thanks, lifelong music geek, and yeah, I saw the Old 97's when they were out doing TFTC too! They come through here (Boulder-ish) once or twice a year so I've seen them many times. Next trip through is in early June. One of the great rock and roll bands still out there on the road, imo.

Not a weak track on the entire album. This is the record that changed rock music in 1987. This album signaled a deathblow to hairbands.
The magic to this album is it's hard Rock with a nasty, dirty edge, but the songs are "singable" as you're driving down the road. It's remarkable
Yep, no hair band here at all.
I always thought of them as more of a hat band than a hair band. Yes, they had the hair, but what stood out about them were Slash's stovepipe hat (is that what it's called?) Izzy's floppy hat and Axl's cop hat. They were at their best when Axl went with straight hair and skipped the poofy mall-hair look.

But I can tell you the Artists / Albums i've listened to consistantly
Nirvana - Unplugged
Pearl Jam - just about anything before Binaural
Mumford - Live at RedRocks
Ice Cube - Post NWA
If you like Mumford, check out the Avett Brothers. Apparently, Mumford spend a lot of time listening to early Avett albums. I got hooked on their later albums recorded with Rick Rubin, but I have since gone back and bought their older stuff and can see what the fuss is about. I'm seeing the Avetts at Red Rocks this summer.

Ride the Lightning is a better album, by far. If the Black Album had a "For Whom the Bells Toll" or a "Fade to Black" on it, you might have a point. It doesn't. Ride the Lightning has the two best modern-era* heavy metal songs on it, back to back, like Ruth and Gehrig in the Yankees lineup. Enter Sandman is heavy metal for the masses. The Unforgiven is warmed over Fade to Black.
*to distinguish them from Zeppelin, Sabbath, etc. If you want to use the term "speed-metal" to describe Metallica that's also accetable
