All,
I couldn't help adding to this...O.K. as follows:
The Beatles 45 Lady Madonna/Inner Light
For me the most influential record ever. New Orleans style piano on side A
and Eastern intrumentation and ideology on side B. Everything I am today!
Go figure.....
The ugly phase....Prog Rock
ELP, Yes, King Crimson
I still own Brain Salad Surgery (The techno kids ain't got nothing on Keith
Emerson, he was making those squeeks & squauks back in '70-'73) and many
Crimson records. However, a lot of the Yes stuff is light as air. This did
lead to the awesome discovery of Brian Eno solo records and Peter Gabriel
which was the link to A/J.
Assorted embarrassments:
Barry Manilow (Hey, I was a young, chubby, piano playing dork)
Jefferson Starship-Find Your Way Back (Don't have any excuse)
Owned 3 Bob Seger albums
Guns & Roses-Appetite for Destruction
Uptown Girl-Billy Joel
Billy Don't Be a Hero-Bo Donaldson & the Haywoods
All the K-Tel records (Believe in Music, Music Power, Music Express)
and of course.....Free Bird - Lynyrd Skynyrd
Enlightenment an evolution are wonderful things ;)
peace,
R. Scott/West Coast Harem

Jeez...I feel so unhip saying it, but the first LP's I bought (all at the
same time) were Beggars Banquet, Super Session (anyone else remember Al
Kooper?...one of the great unsung bluesey white boys) and the Beatles White
Album...not heavy enough for this bunch <g>. But hey, I got the first Deep
Purple album soon after....does that count?
