options were based on the comments from the first thread as well as carryovers from my original list. again, two beatle albums make the list. I tried to keep it pretty diversified, but unlike the first one, this was more focused on ensuring we capture anything we missed regardless of year or genre. I am suspecting alot of Rush votes.

 

[markjazzbassist]

marvin gaye what's going on.

dang this was tough though. honorable mention grateful dead american beauty and bob marley exodus. love both those too.

Yes rush and the two beatles albums are tearing me apart...

I voted for the Grateful Dead, but i must say the Beatles - Sgt Peppers pretty much changed everything about music as we(or at leat I) know it, the was it's played, recorded, and even listened to.

 

[BLDavis]

A vote for the Allman Bro's @ Fillmore East......Berry Oakley was da man

 

[eggfan]

No Bill Evans Trio option, no vote.

Even though I'm not a huge Beatles fan, I have agree that Sgt. Pepper was the game changer for rock music.

 

[jnevi9nr]

i know, i know. I left off Bill Evans Trio. I ran out of poll options. i guess I could have dropped off Muse, but then there wouldnt be enough newer stuff.

 

[jnevi9nr]

big surprise that rush is in the lead.

It's OK. I promise not to let it ruin my day. I'm home sick, so I'm holding a private poll and including "Sunday At The Village Vanguard." It's way ahead of Rush at the moment.
Edit: Went ahead and voted for Weather Report, since Wayne and Joe are pretty stout, even though Jaco's, you know, way overrated.)

 

[jnevi9nr]

he is way overrated. i think the industry has changed a lot since then and alot of musicians would not be in a position to put together an album like he did. am i wrong in thinking that?

glad to hear that something is beating rush. maybe we'll sneak bill evans trio in the finals as the wildcard. like the arizona cardinals last year in the super bowl.

 

[DRay521]

This list is alot harder than the last one. The Beatles, Allman Bros., Rush, Stevie...

And without starting a war here, I don't think Jaco's overrated. His solo album was written and played when he was 23/24, and he didn't have a precedent for what he was doing. I can't play like him and I've been listening to that album for years. That being said, I'm not voting for Heavy Weather cause it's not the best album.

I was just goofing - we don't need to have the Jaco discussion here. PM me if you want to have it off-thread.

 

[jnevi9nr]

we need some more votes for this poll!

 

[JazzBass Love]

Of the list above, my vote went for The Yes Album.

 

[gkbass13]

When muse was on the list and there was no showing from the rolling stones, I shook my head.

 

[Oopsdabassist]

Have to agree! hearing that for the 1st time was a life changer for me, went onto listen to Rush etc, even Muse recently, but it was Yes that started it all.

As a huge Metallica fan.. i'm not clicking on what "s/t" is... am i missing something obvious? None of their albums have something like that. I mean, St. Anger did, but there's not a chance it'd make in into this set i don't think... Help?

I think "s/t" means something like "same title," so the album name would be "Metallica."
