bewlayb 7480 Report post Posted February 6, 2012 Not quite his debut album, but it snared me as a life-long fan. I have 'em all. Tom Waits - The Heart of Saturday Night (1974) "Friday left me fumblin' with the blues And it's hard to win when you always lose Because the nightspots spend your spirit Beat your head against the wall Two dead ends and you've still got to choose" 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cleo Catra 178382 Report post Posted February 6, 2012 I highly doubt I'll get as many people knowing this choice as well as my last one, but I've been a fan of Descendents since I was a young teenager, and this album was constantly played when I was in highschool. I still think 'We' from this album is the best romance song ever. I love this band so much I spent quite a bit of money going to Vegas last May to see them play live at the Punk Rock Bowling festival, and it was worth every penny - except they didn't play 'We'! Siiiiiigh! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

loopie 15358 Report post Posted February 7, 2012 Yeah, Queen is one of my favourite bands. I don't know which of their albums I would single out. My fave song of theirs is 'A Kind of Magic'. Everything on that Highlander soundtrack is gold. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest W***ledi*Time Report post Posted February 7, 2012 Okay, a Nova Scotian connection. This one hits me very very close to home in so many different ways. The world can't be so bad a place after all, as long as I can remember the warm nights and drunken basements in 1975 where these sounds defined what was what. Irreplaceably sweet moments lodged forever in my heart and soul. "Oowatanite"/"Don't Push Me Around"/"Cum Hear the Band"/"Slow Poke" /"Victim for Your Love" "Baby Done Got Some Soul"/"I Wouldn't Want to Lose Your Love"/"Highway Hard Run"/"Not for You, Not for Rock & Roll"/"Wouldn't Want Your Love (Any Other Way)"/"Tonight is a Wonderful Time to Fall in Love" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old Dog 179138 Report post Posted February 7, 2012 This one came along in 1979, too late to really put its stamp on my formative years. And I was never part of the world its story springs from. But if there's one album that's been the soundtrack of my life over the last three decades, this one's it. "London Calling"/"Brand New Cadillac"/"Jimmy Jazz"/"Hateful"/"Rudie Can't Fail" "Spanish Bombs"/"The Right Profile"/"Lost in the Supermarket"/"Clampdown"/"The Guns of Brixton" "Wrong 'Em Boyo"/"Death or Glory"/"Koka Kola"/"The Card Cheat" "Lover's Rock"/"Four Horsemen"/ "I'm Not Down"/"Revolution Rock"/"Train in Vain" Loved London Calling.... and it took this album for me to go back and look at The Clash with fresh eyes. 1982... it was the beginning of the end for The Clash. They had a following, but it was almost cult level. This album, the most commercially successful, was their attempt at hard edged pop.... and it worked. The Clash - Combat Rock Side one No. Title Lead vocals Length 1. "Know Your Rights" (Strummer/Jones) Joe Strummer 3:39 2. "Car Jamming" Joe Strummer 3:58 3. "Should I Stay or Should I Go" Mick Jones 3:06 4. "Rock the Casbah" Joe Strummer 3:44 5. "Red Angel Dragnet" Paul Simonon/Kosmo Vinyl 3:48 6. "Straight to Hell" Joe Strummer 5:30 Side two No. Title Lead vocals Length 1. "Overpowered by Funk" Joe Strummer/Futura 2000 4:55 2. "Atom Tan" Mick Jones/Joe Strummer 2:32 3. "Sean Flynn" Joe Strummer 4:30 4. "Ghetto Defendant" Joe Strummer/Allen Ginsberg 4:45 5. "Inoculated City" (some copies of the album have an edited version lasting 2:11) Mick Jones/Joe Strummer 2:43 6. "Death Is a Star" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phaedrus 209521 Report post Posted February 7, 2012 Another one that I very much associate with a certain patch of my life. And "Comfortably Numb" is still the best song ever written. But that's another thread... :) 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old Dog 179138 Report post Posted February 7, 2012 The Rolling Stones - Tattoo You The year is 1981. Old Dog was a Much Younger Dog then, just barely more than a puppy. Moved away from home and off to university. This was the album that started every single day. My JVC stereo cranked to max, "Start Me Up" blasting from the speakers. How I didn't get kicked out of my place, I don't know... maybe the landlord was a Stones fan.... One of the best middle era Stones albums and certainly a generator of hit after hit... this was a MUST HAVE album in the 80's. Side one No. Title Length 1. "Start Me Up" 3:31 2. "Hang Fire" 2:20 3. "Slave" (Remastered CD version is longer... 6:34) 4:59 4. "Little T&A" 3:23 5. "Black Limousine" (Jagger/Richards/Ronnie Wood) 3:32 6. "Neighbours" 3:31 Side two No. Title Length 7. "Worried About You" 5:16 8. "Tops" 3:45 9. "Heaven" 4:21 10. "No Use in Crying" (Jagger/Richards/Wood) 3:24 11. "Waiting on a Friend" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old Dog 179138 Report post Posted February 7, 2012 A little off the beaten track but.... This album was my breakup album. After 15 years of marriage, I decided to pack it in and set off to greener pastures. It had just enough humour, just enough anger, just enough emotion to get me through the rough patches... and frankly, it is still an all time fave. The Offspring - Americana No. Title Writer(s) Length 1. "Welcome" 0:09 2. "Have You Ever" 3:56 3. "Staring at the Sun" 2:13 4. "Pretty Fly (For a White Guy)" 3:08 5. "The Kids Aren't Alright" 3:00 6. "Feelings" (Parody/cover of Morris Albert's 1975 single) Morris Albert and Louis Felix-Marie Gaste, with lyrical parody by Dexter Holland 2:51 7. "She's Got Issues" 3:48 8. "Walla Walla" 2:57 9. "The End of the Line" 2:59 10. "No Brakes" 2:06 11. "Why Don't You Get a Job?" 2:52 12. "Americana" 3:15 13. "Pay the Man" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicolette Vaughn 294340 Report post Posted February 7, 2012 Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Blood Sugar Sex Magik This was my first alternative album and gave way to me liking other alternative bands like Nirvana and Pearl Jam as I grew up in that whole Seattle Grunge era. I distinctly remember learning how to drive and had this playing in my dad`s car with my older female cousin and forgot to take the cassette out. The next time I got in the vehicle with my dad, he turned on the car and heard a song with one of the most explicit lyrics on the entire album! He started driving and threw the cassette out the window! LOL! And a damn fine album it was! Haha! No.Title Length1."The Power of Equality" 4:032."If You Have to Ask" 3:373."Breaking the Girl" 4:554."Funky Monks" 5:235."Suck My Kiss" 3:376."I Could Have Lied" 4:047."Mellowship Slinky in B Major" 4:008."The Righteous & The Wicked" 4:089."Give It Away" 4:4310."Blood Sugar Sex Magik" 4:3111."Under the Bridge" 4:2412."Naked in the Rain" 4:2613."Apache Rose Peacock" 4:4214."The Greeting Song" 3:1315."My Lovely Man" 4:3916."Sir Psycho Sexy" 8:1717."They're Red Hot" (originally performed by Robert Johnson)1:12 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old Dog 179138 Report post Posted February 7, 2012 "Rumours" was an all time fave by so many.... but it needed this album a year before to set the wheels in motion. The second self titled album, "Fleetwood Mac," was the first to feature a young duo - Stevie Nicks and guitarist Lindsey Buckingham (formerly recording partners themselves) after the departure of Bob Welch. Two essential Fleetwood Mac songs are included on this album - "Landslide" and "Rhiannon"... but the 1975 relaunch of Fleetwood Mac is almost the equal of the more famous "Rumours" Fleetwood Mac Side one No. Title Writer(s) Length 1. "Monday Morning" Buckingham 2:48 2. "Warm Ways" C. McVie 3:54 3. "Blue Letter" Rick Curtis, Mike Curtis 2:41 4. "Rhiannon" Nicks 4:11 5. "Over My Head" C. McVie 3:38 6. "Crystal" Nicks 5:14 Side two No. Title Writer(s) Length 1. "Say You Love Me" C. McVie 4:11 2. "Landslide" Nicks 3:19 3. "World Turning" Buckingham, C. McVie 4:25 4. "Sugar Daddy" C. McVie 4:10 5.

AndyofHalifax 15339 Report post Posted February 8, 2012 Green Day - Dookie This was the second CD I ever bought. Although the first one is far more embarrasing. Although Dookie brought ire from the punk scene for being too mainstream, it was perfect for me and all of my white, suburban, middle class friends, because we could only aspire to reach the coolness level of mainstreamness. This was a step in the right direction. 1. "Burnout" 2:07 2. "Having a Blast" 2:44 3. "Chump" 2:54 4. "Longview" 3:59 5. "Welcome to Paradise" (re-recorded version) 3:44 6. "Pulling Teeth" 2:31 7. "Basket Case" 3:01 8. "She" 2:14 9. "Sassafras Roots" 2:37 10. "When I Come Around" 2:58 11. "Coming Clean" 1:34 12. "Emenius Sleepus" (lyrics written by Mike Dirnt) 1:43 13. "In the End" 1:46 14. "F.O.D." "All by Myself" (lyrics written by Tré Cool) 5:46 This was also my first album with a "secret" track! Oooooh. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
