(Sigh) Those were the days.
My Favorite Albums:
Let It Bleed-The Rolling Stones
Van Morrison-Live in London
Steely Dan-Royal Scam
Allman Brothers-Eat A Peach
Led Zeppelin-ZOSO (or whatever it was called!)
Bob Marley-Babylon By Bus
Bob Dylan-Blood on the Tracks
Hector Berlioz-Symphanie Fantastic
Eugene Ormandy-Carmina Burana
Blind Faith-Their one Album
Good Bye Cream
Switched On Bach (LOL!)
I had wallfulls of albums, Classical and Classic Rock, but those were my favorites.
I also had some independent Jazz albums that had been done by some friends of mine. Boston had an amazing music scene back then.
I spent thousands of dollars on albums - I don’t think I ever bought more than a handful of singles. Then I had a burst pipe that flooded my living room and destroyed everything. It all went into the dumpster, ruined by water damage. I didn’t have the heart to rebuild the collection.
I enjoyed the album art almost as much as the music itself.
Most of those are on my favorite list as well. Add
The Who, Quadrophenia
ELP, Brain Salad Surgery
Allman Brothers, Live at the Fillmore East
Pink Floyd, Animals
Steely Dan, Aja (although I am also partial to The Royal Scam)
Moody Blues, Days of Future Past
Supertramp, Crime of the Century
The Cars
