Pay attention albums

The thread that mentioned Exile on Main Street caused me to think about some lp's that I pretty much stop what I'm doing and just listen - Exile is one, the Flamin' Groovies Teenage Head, and Nillsson Schmillsson are some of my other other stop, drop and listen choices. I love singles of wild assed, crazed teenagers and VA comps, so an album had better be pretty strong and really get to me to play the whole thing through. What lp's or albums make you folks out in Hoffmanland do the same???

 

for me, at the moment it would be:
Yma Sumac-Voice of the Xtabay
Smashing Pumpkins-Adore
nico-the classic years
pink floyd-saucerful of secrets

 

Took a while....

Had to carefully think this one out. For me....

Tangerine Dream - Phaedra
Flamin' Groovies - Shake Some Action
Ducks Deluxe - 1st RCA album
Searchers - Live At The Star Club
Jerry Lee Lewis - Live At The Star Club

Best!

 

Jerry Lee's Live At The Star Club is great.

 

Crowded House's debut

Traveling Wilburys, Volume 1

The US version of Rubber Soul by the Beatles (for me, this album will always properly start with "I've Just Seen a Face," and its stereo version will have a so-called "false start" before "I'm Looking Through You")

The Bootleg Series Volume 4: The "Royal Albert Hall" Concert -- Bob Dylan (the electric set; the tension on that performance builds until it's all unleashed with the most intense "Like a Rolling Stone" performance I've ever heard)

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac (a whole that is much greater than the sum of its parts)

And, of course, Pet Sounds by the Beach Boys.

 

Love that album!!
All Killer,No Filler!!

 

Crowded House - Woodface
10cc - Sheet Music
Love - Forever Changes
Joni Mitchell - Blue
Monkees - Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones Ltd.
NRBQ - At Yankee Stadium
Steely Dan - Pretzel Logic
Crack The Sky - Animal Notes
Dukes Of Stratosphere - Chips From The Chocolate Fireball
Four Freshmen - Four Freshmen and Five Trumpets

I will never get tired of any of these records... all classics

 

And also the "album" I can't stop listening to... Smile by The Beach Boys

 

Speaking for myself, I find it hard to listen to an album that was never really finished... which is what Smile was (and remains).
