Wire were a great band "Outdoor Miner" was one of my fave tracks back in the day along with "I Am The Fly"

Saw a series of documentaries about the punk times recently and those days were so exciting. So many people playing different things and with creativity and danger thrown in whereas nowadays rock music is about as dangerous as watching re-runs of Miss Marple. :lol:

Like the Rolling Stones' "Some Girls" album.
You gotta be drunk on a crowded dance floor with a couple of babes in hand.

Hey guys,

This is just too easy...

It's John Fogerty of CCR fame album"Long Road Home".

I found it a few months ago on iTunes for $7.99 for 25 songs! It has some of the best rock guitar licks I think I've ever heard. I new that Fogerty was in the top 50 best guitar players in the world but this just may be the best rock album I've ever heard!

I wanted to upload the album cover but couldn't figure out how to do it but if you guys like good old rock-n-roll wow is this something...

Funny, I was going to add CCR to the list. Boy, did they roll out a platter.
In thirty months Creedence Clearwater Revival had six (6) platinum albums.
Who can top that?
Nobody.
Except the Beatles with eight platinum albums in twenty-four months from 1/64-12/65.

Aren't they the same???
A double LP, just released at different times :lol:

in fact rubber soul is a much smoother record. it has more of a folky feel to it. also, the Beatles hadn't taken LSD yet during rubber soul. Revolver has a more hard edged sound to it. with the exception of a few of paul's tracks. at this point in 1966 john, George , and Ringo had all taken LSD. which influenced their song writing a great bit. many of paul's song may sound similar because he stuck with weed. I'm not saying that the beatle wrote their songs off of pure drugs. but you can hear the influence.

Thanks. Gosh darn . . . . who woulda thunk
To me, Sargent Peppers, Abby Road, Revolver, Rubber Soul & The White Album
were all the best, cream of the creative top of the Beatles twelve studio albums.
Personally, I rank all five of these albums in the top thirty of all Rock/Pop albums made.

I consider myself a musicologist to some degree towards American music from 1940s-2012.
I do study & read quite a bit. My collections are huge. My career is in music in many forms.
Thanks for sharing. I learned "Something New" "Yesterday and Today" from you

"Folky feel" & "harder edge" are opinions I've not put onto each album. But "Folky/Edge"
clearly is another way to describe these two bookends. And just because there are differences,
is no reason to keep them separate, in my mind.

"Who's Next" has Blues Folk Rock & Soul. Right? So, it's just what it is, influences & all.
I wonder how one would descrbe Abby Road & The White Album. Not much of a concept
towards total interrelating albums, but lots of mood & conceptual with interpretation.

I pulled up some interesting comments towards "Folky & Edge":
==================
"Rubber Soul was successful commercially and critically, and is often cited as one of the greatest albums in music history. In 2012, Rubber Soul was voted 5th on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time". Virtually all of the songs for this album were composed immediately after the band's return to London following their North American tour. The Beatles broadened their sound on this album, with influences drawn from soul music and the contemporary folk-rock of Bob Dylan and The Byrds. The album also saw The Beatles expanding rock and roll's instrumental resources, most notably on "Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)" through Harrison's use of the Indian sitar. He had been introduced to it via the instrumental score for their 1965 film Help! Although The Kinks had incorporated droning guitars to mimic the sitar after a visit to India on "See My Friend", "Norwegian Wood" is generally credited as sparking off a musical craze for the sound of the novel instrument in the mid-1960s—a trend which would later branch out into the raga rock and Indian rock genres. The song is now acknowledged as one of the cornerstones of what is now usually called "world music" and it was a major landmark in the trend towards incorporating non-Western musical influences into Western popular music. Harrison's interest was fuelled by fellow Indian music fan David Crosby of the Byrds, whom Harrison met and befriended in August 1965. Harrison would eventually be transfixed by all things Indian, taking sitar lessons from renowned Indian sitar player Ravi Shankar.

====================
Many of the tracks on Revolver are marked by an electric guitar-rock sound, in contrast with their previous LP, the folk rock inspired Rubber Soul (1965). Placed at number 1 in the All-Time Top 1000 Albums and number 3 in the Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time, the album is often regarded as one of the greatest achievements in music history and one of The Beatles' greatest studio achievements.

In many respects, Revolver is one of the very first psychedelic LPs – not only in its numerous shifts in mood and production texture, but in its innovative manipulation of amplification and electronics to produce new sounds on guitars and other instruments. Specific, widely-heralded examples include the backwards riffs of "I'm Only Sleeping", the sound effects of "Yellow Submarine", the sitar of "Love You To", the blurry guitars of "She Said, She Said", and above all the seagull chanting, buzzing drones, megaphone vocals, free-association philosophizing, and varispeed tape effects of "Tomorrow Never Knows".

In 1972, Lennon offered some context for the influence of drugs on The Beatles' creativity:
It's like saying, "Did Dylan Thomas write Under Milk Wood on beer?" What does that have to do with it? The beer is to prevent the rest of the world from crowding in on you. The drugs are to prevent the rest of the world from crowding in on you. They don't make you write any better. I never wrote any better stuff because I was on acid or not on acid." (John Lennon)

According to music critic Jim DeRogatis: "Revolver, Pet Sounds and The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, relics of the first era of psychedelic rock and shining testaments to what can be accomplished in the recording studio when folks are fuelled on the potent drug of rampant imagination."

"Of All Time", of the several "Favorite Album" threads, "of all time"'s addition gets the Forum Elmo Politzer award for "most abstruse", unless you know something we don't, if so please be a good Bro and let us know so we can head for the survival shelters. Gary, just kidding. :lol:

All of the recordings listed are bests, every Forum member is a music lover.

I would pick all of those or all of so many others but then picked one no one has yet chosen:
