Favorite album by your favorite artists

One favorite album by your favorite bands/artists

The Beatles- Revolver- Do I even need to say anything?

Eric Clapton- From The Cradle- It may be an album of covers, but damn.

Pink Floyd- Dark Side of The Moon- No surprises here.

Phish- Round Room- There latest is also there greatest.

Stevie Ray Vaughan- Texas Flood- Damn this is a great album. Got to be hard to find a better debut album

The Allman Brothers Band- Live at The Fillmore- Can't get enough of Statesboro Blues.

John Lennon- Imagine, no wait Plastic Ono Band, no MInd Games, no wait, maybe half of Double Fantasy. RRRRRRRRRRRRHHHHHHHHGGGH. Just pick one.

Dave Matthews Band- The Lillywhite Sessions or Busted Stuff- I really prefer Steve Lillywhite's version better than Busted Stuff.

James Taylor- James Taylor- His first album on Apple was great. It's nice to hear different versions of Carolina On My Mind and Something In The Way She Moves. The versions on the Greatest Hits album are different because of copyright issues.

Bob Dylan- Blonde On Blonde- Great album, really hard to pick a favorite.

 

Trashmen - Surfin' Bird is the mightiest long player of all time!!! Ok, to me anyway...

 

Meet The Beatles...too many others to mention. There are hundreds of others.

 

The Yardbirds - Roger the Engineer (or is it really entitled The Yardbirds???)...

 

Beatles- Revolver

Yes- Talk (Trevor Rabin era)
Yes- Close to the Edge (Steve Howe era)
Genesis- Trick Of the Tail

I enjoy the Edsel Cee Dee of Roger...

 

My favorite albums are usually greatest hits albums although for example, Jimmy Dean's Big Bad John and Other Fabulous Songs and Tales is a classic album. Sure it was released because of the success of the title song, but the covers are well done.
