+1 -- Randy was amazing.

Laughing out loud with fear and hope, I have a desperate plan ...

1. Beatles - "Revolver"
2. Beatles - "Sgt. Pepper's..."
3. Pink Floyd - "Dark Side of the Moon"
4. Led Zeppelin IV
5. U2 "Joshua Tree"

Mine are...
1. Queen: Greatest hits 1,2, and 3.
2. The Who: Who are you.
3. Led Zeppelin: Mothership.
4. Barenaked Ladies: Stunt.
5. Elton John: Greatest Hits.

In no particular order and for one day only, my top five....

Bob Dylan - Bringing It All Back Home
"Old lady judges watch people in pairs
Limited in sex, they dare
To push fake morals, insult and stare
While money doesn't talk, it swears
Obscenity, who really cares
Propaganda, all is phony."

Xtc. - Nonesuch
"The church of matches anoints in ignorance with gasoline.
The church of matches grows fat by breathing in the smoke of dreams.
It's quite obscene. Books are burning..."

Pearl Jam - Pearl Jam
"It's the same everyday and the wave won't break
Tell you to pray, while the devil's on their shoulder
Laying claim to the take our soldiers save
Does not equate, and the truth's already out there"

Crowded House - Time On Earth
"When you listen for good
In the hope that comes to nothing
As the liars moved in
And they believe their own
Dark medicine
Believing it’s good
Behind their jaded eyes
A dilemma"


The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper

"We were talking-about the love that's gone so cold and the people,
Who gain the world and lose their soul-
They don't know-they can't see-are you one of them?"

Humm... This is a difficult question. Here are my picks. Not that I don't like some of the others mentioned before. But, these are some of the LP's that influenced me in some way.

1. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - The Beatles

This LP is like the Citizen Kane of Rock Music. Recorded on a 4-Track machine, I believe. It was so unlike anything going on at the time. It was also rumored to have sent Brian Wilson deeper into his depression. (Don't know if that's true, tho'...)

2. Ummagumma - Pink Floyd

One of those albums that you just can't put a label on.

3. Uncle Meat - The Mothers of Invention

An LP from a man who is both famous and infamous. He is both well known and unknown. Even though Zappa is in the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame, he has never to this day been given what he truely deserves. I know the word genius gets thrown around a lot... but, he was a genuis.

4. Cheap Trick - Cheap Trick

The first LP by them was pretty dark compared to the stuff they did later. There are songs about mass-murderer and suicide on there. And lots of guitar and great screaming.

5. My Aim Is True - Elvis Costello

He snuck in through the so-called New Wave with his little nerd act he used to do. Is there another songwriter around that's as prolific?

James Brown and the Famous Flames 'I Feel Good (I Got You)'
The Beatles 'Meet The Beatles'
Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels 'Take A Ride'
The Young Rascals 'The Young Rascals'

you can save the world with your guitar one love song at a time it's just better, more fun, easier with a fender solid body electric guitar or electric bass guitar.

These may not be the greatest but are influences from each genre i listen to.

Guns N Roses - Appetite for Destruction - simply because of what it was when it was released and a trademark album for rockers of the late 80's.

Alan Jackson(Country)- Red on A Rose Album - This shows the depth of country at Alans best showing his roots in country music.

Third Day(Christian Rock/Alt) - Come Together - The greatest Chritian Rock band ever for me and this album speaks loud and clear to the wanting hearts of Gods followers.

Mountain Heart (Bluegrass)- Anything they do on any album - These are by far some of the most talented singers and musicians in any genre of music.

The Beatles - One - Simply because every hit from the Bealtles is on it minus a few.

The dead kennedys - fresh fruit for rotting vegetables or plastic surgery disasters. Cant decide which.

Slayer - south of heaven.

Zz top - rancho texacano

John Mayal - A hard road.

Fun lovin Criminals - welcome to poppy's (Hughie's a hell of a tastefull guitarist).
