thx for the thumbs up

though I'd add that side 6 of Sandinista! is a tough cookie to sit through

Yeah, who doesn't skip Menforth Hill?

^^I usually skip the entirety of side 6 altogether

1.) The Sex Pistols - Never Mind the Bollocks
2.) The Who - Quadrophenia
3.) Queen - Queen II
4.) The Talking Heads - Remain In Light
5.) Jefferson Airplane - Surrealistic Pillow
6.) Hawkwind - The Hall Of the Mountain Grill
7.) Phish - Junta
8.) Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band - Trout Mask Replica
9.) The Electric Prunes - The Electric Prunes
10.) The Arcade Fire - Funeral

Ewww.

I got really into that record as a teenager. A lot of it I took apart and reassembled on mix tapes. Then later in life, after I finally got it on CD I started taking it in as a whole. I love it. Although I usually only listen to half of it at a time. That's the way I do all my double CDs since I'm too disorganized to ever find two together.

Sticking only to acts predominately rock(trying to avoid making this a favorite album list.)

1. Jimi Hendrix - Are you Experienced?
2. Paranoid - Black Sabbath
3. The Who - Who's Next
4. Deep Purple - Made in Japan
5. Gong - Gong's Angel Egg Trilogy(I consider it one big album)
6. Slayer - Hell Awaits
7. Frank Zappa - Hot Rats
8. Cream - The best of Cream
9. Primus - Frizzle Fry
10. Soft Machine - Soft Machine 2

i haven't heard 3, 5, 6, 7 & 8

1 is just New York Dolls album 2.5

10 makes me zzzzzzzzzz

If I were to only listen to one Rush album, I would pick Test for Echo. Seems highly overlooked as well /shrug. Tool based Lateralus, the song, on Test For Echo, the song.

That Van der Graaf Generator album is my favorite prog album, ever. I think it flows with the best of em (Crimson King, etc.)

Boud Deun... I don't know much about them. But the album is basically flawless. Instrumental, beautiful.

Colonel Claypool Bucket of Bernie Brains, C2B3, is my favorite Claypool project. Frog Brigade is a close second, but with Buckethead, Brain, and Bernie Worrel of P-Funk fame... well... :afro:

Dream Machine has an Ozric Tentacle or two, and the music is beautiful and rockin'

That Buckethead album was released early 2010 I believe and I regard it one of his very best, if not THE best.

Stone Oak Cosmonaut is a new European space rock band. Really dig their first album. Played it for ages.

==========

In other words, I highly recommend.

I shall take the recommendation, I like a few Rush songs and I really admire their talent.
