My argument is that a James Brown live album is the correct format in this instance.

Couple it with the fact that it arguably ranks as the best ever live album of all time and who is a souless Croatian with no musical taste whatsoever, to argue otherwise.

Add it to the list, as no serious list containing the words "classic albums" would be complete without 'Live At The Apollo'.

You can relax now old man, it has been added.

^ There's the upload soul brother.

To be played repeatedly, very loud...forever.

Yay! Thanks for the upload, just for that I put it in front of Dylan.

well done

Everytime i`ve tried to find this I always seem to end up with Volume 2. For such a classic album it`s a real bugger to find.

This is actually a pretty spectacular list. I didn't know how this was going to turn out because of our laughable best band polls, but hey, color me surprised.

adidasss · 02-17-2007, 05:31 PM

That's because this isn't a popularity contest. I'm sure we've missed a few albums but there's plenty of time to correct the list. Plus, the 2000's looks very bleak.

Btw, to everyone, feel free to upload any albums you see on the list that you have on your computer.

Tool-Undertow-IMO, this is their best album, and probably their easiest to get into. Sober, and Prison Sex got radio play and were great songs. On Intolerance, Maynard's ferocious assault on people's tendency to lie, cheat and steal is worth a listen. Bottom includes guest vocals from Henry Rollins who is very dark and confrontational in his performance. Undertow showcases guitarist Adam Jones' talent as he goes off on a crazy solo towards the end. My fav. track on the album is Flood, which has no words for the first 3 min. or so, and builds to a blistering rage at the end of the song that makes the hairs on my arm stand up.
Rage-self titled, singer Zach de la Rocha doesn't beat around the bush in his brutal lyrical attack on Western culture and government. Right out of the gates 'instead I warm my hands upon the flames of the flag' is a testament to that. Some highlights include Bullet in the Head, filled w/ relevance in today's society of listening to your T.V. before your heart. Know Your Enemy is my fav. track w/ guest vocals from Maynard James Keenan. Zach makes it clear here that he's not going to apologize for speaking out on America's imperialist ways. Wake up is another plea for us to inform ourselves of America's secretive past. Freedom finishes off the album w/ Zach sarcastically yelling 'freedom-yeah right!!!!!!' brilliant and funny as well.
If u want to listen to a CD, and not skip tracks while listening to good quality music all the way through, u won't go wrong w/ these 2. Although u will hav to wait a while to hear the song Disgustipated off Undertow, and then the bonus track after that. All in a All, it's worth the wait.

I lost the will to live after the 2nd line of that.
