Fly like an Eagle from Steve Miller
Captain fantastic and the brown dirt cowboys from Elton John
Tommy from the Who

You're not going to believe this. Bill Haley's "Rock Around The Clock". I bought it new as a little boy and still have it.
This was about forty years before CD's were invented.
Next important was Elvis--a four-song extended record with Paralyzed, Love Me, Blue Moon Of Kentucky and . . .I forgot what the other song was. I'm getting senile along with sentimental. See what you did.

Hi Everyone,
CD`s that I will keep, all "Alan Parsons Project" + all "Steely Dan" + PF "Dark Side of the Moon" , Wish You Where Here" + Supertramp "Crime of the Century" , "Breakfast in America" + Yes Years [box set] . These songs bring me "up when I`m down and keep me level when I`m up!
O- I almost forgot the 2 Julee Cruise albums ("Floating Into The Night" + The Voice of Love" ) Good Poll

I miss opening an album to read the lyrics and look at the credits !

CD's have taken away from this IMHO .

For me it comes down to my favorites in my favorite genres.

Jazz and Jazz Fusion : Elegant Gypsy - Al DiMeola ; Electric Guitarist - John McLaughlin. Any Chick Corea "album"

Blues / Power Blues : Bridge of Sighs - Robin Trower

Rock: Brain Salad Surgery, Tarkus, Pictures at an Exhibiton - Emerson Lake and Palmer ;
Fragile, Close to the Edge, and almost every other album from the group "Yes".
Also various albums from Alan Parsons, Pink Floyd and Frank Zappa.

Well, Jedi and Bluezplayer must have taken a look in my record collection . I would also like to add Genesis "The lamb lies down on Broadway". A truly marvelous record.

I´m also into "classical" music. My fav. composers are JS Bach, Haydn, Tchaikovskij, Prokofieff and Stravinskij. But Purcell, Handel, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Mussorgskij, Debussy, Ravel, Schoenberg, Holst, Berg, Schostakovitj, Bartok did also write some nice stuff!

Regards, Michael

1. Abbey Road
2. Chicago first album
3. Blood Sweat & Tears first album
4. Rubber Soul
5. Inna Godda Da Vida (sp)? with the 22 hour drum solo

Tom

P.S. Like the fool that I am I traded away my Beatles 45 of Twist and Shout for a 45 of Mrs. Brown You've Got A Lovely Daughter by Herman's Hermits.
