What is your start-to-finish disc?

Albums that I played to death:

I write "albums", as in vinyl. Weird, I know, but we did that once. And really cared about our turntable.

Grateful Dead - Live Dead
Gong - Radio Gnome Trilogy
Dan Hicks - Where's the Money, Striking it Rich, Last Train to Hicksville
Steeleye Span - Below the Salt
Ornette Coleman - The Shape of Jazz to Come
Pink Floyd - DSOTM, Wish You Were Here, Animals
Southside Johnny - I Don't Want to Go Home
Frank Zappa - Live at Fillmore East 1971, We're Only in it for the Money
Bob Dylan - Blood on the Tracks
Santana - Santana, Abraxas
Chase - Chase
Blood Sweat and Tears - Blood Sweat and Tears
Canned Heat: Hooker 'n Heat, Future Blues
Richard Wagner - The Ring, particularly Das Rheingold
JS Bach - Brandenbergs
PDQ Bach got a lot of play LOL
lot of big band stuff, Duke Ellington, Stan Kenton, etc. I can see the albums in my mind's eye but no recollection of the titles.
Firesign Theater :roflmao:
Captain Beefheart - Trout Mask Replica, Bongo Fury
King Crimson - Starless and Bible Black
Maynard Ferguson - MF Horn.

These are the ones that come to mind quickly. I had a huge record collection, about three linear feet of jazz and classical IIRC. Sonny Rollins was an idol.... Gave most all away. Had a very nobby B&O turntable ... just mentioned a couple days ago I sold my stereo system to buy my bass ....

Hey, that was an odd choice. Didn't think I would see that name around here anyway at all. Yes for Toy Matinée, but definitely not Third...it's good but entirely different.

Third Matinee was different. Using the "Matinee" moniker made it sound like it was a follow-up to Toy, which might have detracted from the great album that it was. It was more of a Richard Page / Pat Leonard solo project. The album came out during one of the most difficult periods in my life. Hearing Page was like an old friend letting me know that everything was going to be OK.

PS. I use this album to warm up with when I'm gonna go sing.
