Top ten LPs in History? I wouldn't even begin, but for me Jimi Hendrix's Electric Lady Land is on there, as well as the Beatle's White Album. To me these albums were very important in the evolution of rock and roll and were even a turning point in rock music.

May each right-thinking, sanity-loving person endeavor to extirpate that irksome song from popular conciousness, once and for all...
Was at a club the other night, and between the band's sets must have heard it 17 times (a gruesome experience, to be sure)...
Of course, I played "Thunder Road" about 17 times, too (though that's entirely different, obviously)...

Wot, no "El Paso"? No "White Christmas"?
Being born in 1971, in Jamaica, I'm not really into this one. Pre '64: Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs - Marty Robbins; anything by Nat "King" Cole. Pre '64 does not include Rubber Soul by the Beatles, nor anything by Pink Floyd. The Wailers' debut single "Simmer Down" came out locally in 1963...

BTW, one of those sisters was also heavily into R&B along with her two older brothers (I'm the last of seven), and they turned me on to R&B, so don't knock 'em too hard!
My first exposure to Jonathan Livingston Seagull was the soundtrack, which I enjoyed. I then read the book by Richard Bach, which I also enjoyed. I tried to watch the movie when it came on T.V. but it bored me to tears. I think someone should take the book and the soundtrack and write a ballet.

first, i don't actually think sting "stinks"... among my redneck friends, he is regarded as the Man Who Killed the E. Street Band, and we're always cutting him, so i guess it's kind of instinctual... i think his music can be ponderous, and banal, but overall i think he's okay... i have several of his records, and turn "roxanne" all the way up, every time i hear it, even if grandma's in the car (a little classic rock and roll never hurt anyone)...
same, kind of, goes for neil diamond... don't own any of his records (nor will i, i suspect), but i do respect the 60's pop music he created... it's not really my cup of tea, but it was top-flight stuff... it was in his pandering, feeble attempts at becoming "a major artist" that he invited scorn upon himself... neil diamond jokes are pretty old stuff... (yeah, i know... especially mine)...

Worst Neil Diamond song: "Jungletime". Even worse than "Soggy Pretzels"; almost as bad as "Get Up And Boogie" by The Silver Connection!
BTW, it's songs like "Fly Robin Fly", "Love To Love Ya Baby" and the forementioned "Get Up And Boogie", that give disco such a bad name. K.C. And The Sunshine Band were rather good, although the Bee Gees sounded like they had their collective round objects in a vise (but their songs were still infinitely better than "Get Up And Boogie"!). ABBA is also classified as disco, and they're extremely good! Let's see, wasn't "Another Brick In THe Wall, Part II" also popular in discos?

Innovative, groundbreaking, maybe NOT ON EARTH (to use your words). His appeal was instead other-earthly...his use of feedback as a musical device instead of unwanted noise and his lefthanded style of playing with a guitar strung for a righty changed the way guitar was played forever...for better. Wasn't a great singer, for sure...but an incredible live performer. I saw him in an outdoor fest 1969, near Kickapoo, Illinois. He blew my doors off, and I wasn't on acid! The "Band of Gypsies" was a live a
bum, and Buddy Miles did most of the singing. His song "Them Changes" may have defined 70s power funk. Other honorable mentions I could add off the top of my head include

Funny you should mention that. No Dead albums mentioned there. I've seen them live only eight times--would've seen them 80 times if time and circumstances had permitted. All the concerts were in California between 1972-75 (Navy) and 79-81 (when I went back and worked as a TV writer/stand-up comic/weekend radio dude). I'm not sure only eight concerts would qualify me as a Deadhead...but they were a great live band and only a mediocre studio band. Your taste is more--for lack of a better word--punk th
n mine. But love the Clash, the Ramones, and the Velvet Underground. Lou Reed is still amazing (and I wouldn't have thought that he would still be alive). I met Popa Chubby (now a blues guitarist) a couple of years back. He had been the original guitarist for Richard Hell and the Voidoids. (remember them?) We got along great (we both look like Hell's Angels enforcers) and partied after his show here in Hilo.

Hmh, top ten LPs in history? Then you're ALL WRONG!
That's all YOUR favorite LPs - but truly the greatest? Since 1949 (=LPs hit market...), I'd expect something like Miles Davis's "Sketches of Spain" and more mixed stuff...
Personal Top Ten: A tough one, too - all time, or personal history?
Personal Top Ten LPs (First Try, in order of historic appearance)
Carolyn Mas - Mas Hysteria
The Who - The Kids Are Alright
The Clash - Sandinista! (because it's THREE LPs in that album!)
The Ramones - Road To Ruin (One MUST love this stuff!)
DEVO - NOW IT CAN BE TOLD (fabulous 2LP-live Album)
Radiohead - Pablo Honey (Soooo depressed, but know how to rock!)
Kreidler - Weekend (First new electronic record I madly fell in love with)
Hazeldine - How Bees Fly (Great LP - why did they ever change line-up?)
Bo Diddley - ??? (Forgot the title, a new outtakes-compilation)
Epic Soundtracks - Everything Is Temporary (Enough said in other topics.)
- To be revised on short notice! -

I must insist that at least The Ramones, The Sex Pistols, Velvet Underground and Devo belong to an "All-Time-Goodies"-List!
But You're right, Alexander, there have to be many, many more...even on my personal hit list, this would be an endless story...

Yes, there's the "Personal History All Time Top Ten", the "Personal All-Time Top Ten", and the undisputed "ALL TIME TOP TEN", which is something like the philosophers' stone, or truth, or objectivity - an abstract idea that never will come to be!
Devo, too, huh?

I could list my top ten jazz, blues, reggae, world beat, classical even Hawaiian albums...but it seemed this list was pretty much pop/rock oriented. Marley could make any pop list, though. So obviously missing are artists like Davis, Coltrane, B.B. King, Brubeck (who I interviewed and then talked to informally for about 2 hours--great guy)... As for fave 78's, Louis Armstrong's version of "Reefer Man" would have to be on it, as would Benny Goodman's "Sing, Sing, Sing" (Gene Krupa's drums)!

Isabel, if you bring "The Ramones, The Sex Pistols, Velvet Underground and Devo", then I'll take the brandnew Stereo Total (current band from Berlin), and reconsider my choices...
Die Dissidenten, the Sahara Electric album - these guys INVENTED what is called worldmusic today. They called it Ethno Beat, and recorded in the Sahara with their mobile studio.
Perhaps one Tocotronic album, though I'm not sure which one, maybe WIR KOMMEN UM UNS ZU BESCHWEREN.

No, Marcia...no Welk albums. But once I had a terrible dream that I was forced at gunpoint to work at an elevator music station. The station manager used mind control. He tied me up with cobra-skin ropes and played "Calcutta" over and over until my ears bled!
Hey Ree, Ray Conniff was a party animal. He and Mantovani roomed together at Betty Ford!!!!

Wow, easy with that prog/psych shtuff! I guess you forgot your favorite Cpt. Beefheart-LP.
Lots of British there, and a bit German, too. Hmh, I played that Floyd record the morning we got called and told my grandfather had died. For dubios reasons, the record was pretty quick off the turntable again, as my family couldn't see the appropriateness... No, not of Careful With That Axe Eugene, nor Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun, but of the Grand Vizier's Garden Party.
Thank you for your list! Next: your favorite all-time live experience...

Bobby Conn in 1998 (he hated the concert, because the PA blew out all the time).
The Sisters of Mercy in 1992 (when they opened with Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb - perfect!)
Fela Kuti, mid-eighties. His sax blew my mind.

Jonathan Livingston Seagull is a very moving series of works that Neil Diamond wrote the words and music to. It tells the story of seagull - and parts of it are so beautiful you almost want to cry.

Paperback Writer was a Beatles single; not on any of their original studio albums.
