your favorite albums

[kevbass5]

Hey Adam
I was just curious as to what a few of your all time favorite albums are...the ones you constantly find yourself going back to. Or the ones you've learned the most from through transcription and deep listening.

 

[JoZac21]

More or less in this order, here are some fav's:
- Dark Side of The Moon - Pink Floyd
- Quadrophenia - The Who
- Bitches Brew - Miles Davis
- Innervisions & Songs in the Key of Life - Stevie Wonder
- Rain Dogs & Blood Money - Tom Waits
- Sun Ship - John Coltrane
- Live in Greenwich - Albert Ayler
- Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables - Dead Kennedys
- Everything by Mr. Bungle
- Everything by Dog Fashion Disco (a band - sort of avant-metal - that no one ever seems to know, by I friggin' love)
- And many many many more... but these are a bunch that I'd cry if I couldn't ever listen to them again.
