[tkern]

Miles Davis, Kind of Blue

[Mr.Magnus]

[tkern]

BT- this binary universe.

No one has ever made an album with this sort of detail to sound and wave forms.

 

[Seth]

For the mainstream jazz folks you have to have some of the classics:

Kind of Blue, Miles
Jazz at the Plaza, Miles
Blue Seven, Sonny Rollins
Standards, Keith Jarrett
Bill Evans Trios

And I would do the Band, but the Avett Brothers?...like their stuff but not quite there yet. Just saying, don't flame me too much.

 

[Salty dog]

Not to mention Horace Sliver's Song for my Father.

 

[tkern]

I walked into a men's grooming lounge the other day and Eric Johnson's "Cliffs of Dover" was playing. In my top 3 favorite songs of all time (along with peter gabriel's sledgehammer and kmfdm's juke joint jezebel) I think its the best guitar solo ever. Large words, I know, but it has the right amount of space and exactness between notes without sounding soulless.

 

[apicius9]

Miles Davis, Kind of Blue

+1, I also like 'Sketches of Spain' very much.

+ on Miles Davis King of Blues

 

[Zwiefel]

* Violent Femmes, self-titled debut
* O Brother Where Art Thou, soundtrack
* Bob Marley, Legend

+1

Pearl Jam - Ten

+1 Often forgoten, but amazing album. They kinda went off the rails after VS though.

Zappa - overnight sensation & '
Violent Femmes- self title

+1000 on both of these. amazing, amazing albums.

4 non Blondes-what's up

+1 Was so sorry they broke up, they had a really good vibe and Linda Perry had (has) an astonishingly powerful voice.

Sublime-40oz to Freedom
Metallica-Master of Puppets

Actually, both of Sublime's big release albums were amazing. Hard to choose between them. This is my favorite Metallica album though...

Also:

Shoukichi Kina, Peppermint Tea house (Okinawan Folk/Rock Fusion)
The Aquabats, The Return of the Aquabats (their first album...and one of the gems of 3rd wave ska).
The Dead Milkmen, Beelzebubba
Cake, Comfort Eagle

I'll stop there

 

[SameGuy]

I have a fairly wide-ranging taste in music, at any given moment I can be listening to classic jazz, classic reggae, "alternative" from the 70s through the 90s, classic rock, current indie and alt-rock, classic hip-hop, or even bluegrass. Not a fan of any top-40 from any decade, nor country nor soul/R&B.

For jazz: Kind of Blue, Something Else!, and A Love Supreme all come as close to perfection as can be.

 

[Crothcipt]

I love many sound tracks from movies. They often have bands that I have never heard of, and get interested in. Many of them are cool mixes that I wouldn't buy the album that most of the music is on. some of them are:

Natural Born Killers
Rock star
The Lost Boys
Queen of the Damned
Fast and the Furious (the second disc)

 

[skewed]

Tons of great albums. Good selection from everyone.

-Carol King Tapestries
-CSNY Deja Vu
-Prince Sign o' the Times
-Joanna Newsome Ys
