<div style="text-align: center;">
Red Crayola with The Familiar Ugly - "Parable Of Arable Land" released in 1967 was about the weirdest record I had heard up to that moment!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Also in 1967 this album appeared and it was like WTF?! is going on! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was called Hapshash And The Coloured Coat Featuring The Human Host And The Heavy Metal Kids!" The first song was called "H-O-P-P-Why," and when we first got guitars, it was the groove we played the most because it was such a simple riff!</div>

The first time I head Dr. John, The Night Tripper was in an Army Library. I put on the headphones, and my life has never been the same ever since! This first record of his called "Gris -Gris" came out in 1968!</div>

I don't know why "The Masked Marauders" isn't on Rolling Stones list, it was made by their people! A total joke, put on, and a fraud, this record came out in 1969, and was supposed to be recorded by a super group composed of Bob Dylan, Mick Jagger, John Lennon, and Paul McCartney. It's a trip and pretty awful all at the same time!</div>

Jeez! I can't believe this is taking so long, and now I'm not even half way done, and I'm drawing blanks! Anyway, one <u>thing </u>that you can't deny is how many successful offshoots there were from the band Buffalo Springfield! It's really quite uncanny!! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
"Buffalo Springfield Again" was such a fantastic record, I actually almost forgot about their next release after that from 1968 called "Last Time Around!" And while it's a little mellower than it's predecessor, "Last Time Around" has some great cuts on it, and deserves to be on this list for sure!</div>

The first Crosby, Stills, and Nash album was excellent, but when Neil Young joined the band, it just made them that much better! Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young's "Deja Vu" from 1970 is an utterly fantastic record from start to finish!</div>

Poco was another awesome Buffalo Springfield spinoff band! Richie Furay wanted to make country music, and with this album, you can certainly see why! Jim Messina went along for the ride! Original Eagle Randy Meisner was in the band too for a while! "Pickin' Up The Pieces" came out in 1969!</div>

Before I'm through, I'll probably list every album ever made by Neil Young! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Neil Young and Crazy Horse's "Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere" from 1969 is a fine example of why!</div>

From 1972, Neil's "Harvest" record is about as good as it gets!</div>Eegah!! and Tabonga!http://www.blogger.com/profile/05260131201716267229noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1385039178812755181.post-91643661936961808792015-10-27T20:45:00.000-07:002015-10-27T20:45:53.114-07:00The REAL 500 Best Albums Of All Time - Part 44 of 100 - Look Sharp and Boogie to the Absolutely Free Whirling Apocalypse!<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Another killer album from 1967 was "Boogie With Canned Heat" and their special blend of blues and rock that gave us hits like "Going Up The Country," and "On The Road Again!" How this LP is not on Rolling Stone's list is anybody's guess!</div>

I like Bill Nelson, and I never tire of listening to this 1982 release titled "The Love That Whirls (Diary Of A Thinking Heart)" because one title is just not good enough!</div>

I don't have a problem with a lot of the artists on Rolling Stone's Top 500 list, but sometimes I think they chose the wrong albums by certain people. Here are five albums that fall into that category!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHhJgmjao_VChyAixcNbMwrE0x1ae3iGIGzikwGBZC5VygJ3muBPXcBOBYJNlNnhRhxFPzffTmeWcf1_LbQ05qbzs3IZBVyaYW7lhKHfSdUopP49iBY0bOYHonsq5xlODyJfatxThiXvI/s1600/Beach+Boys+-+Smiley+Smile.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHhJgmjao_VChyAixcNbMwrE0x1ae3iGIGzikwGBZC5VygJ3muBPXcBOBYJNlNnhRhxFPzffTmeWcf1_LbQ05qbzs3IZBVyaYW7lhKHfSdUopP49iBY0bOYHonsq5xlODyJfatxThiXvI/s400/Beach+Boys+-+Smiley+Smile.jpg" width="360" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I always thought "Smiley Smile" from 1967 was one of The Beach Boys more inspired efforts, so I chose it instead of the 1970 "Sunflower!"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIB1AGDJ8rop8UrN48HJzRoezosPeyvw0zMhKrP0mTTKWECYxze6jNjSp7I6VQLlpbOT_ZW3oA1_jMDAlrV2WRY4Jcdfu_KOumIAjQU78Budi1EOVvjKfowVRirHKQ4G3H7Fz7LLK3MKU/s1600/Blood+Sweat+and+Tears.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIB1AGDJ8rop8UrN48HJzRoezosPeyvw0zMhKrP0mTTKWECYxze6jNjSp7I6VQLlpbOT_ZW3oA1_jMDAlrV2WRY4Jcdfu_KOumIAjQU78Budi1EOVvjKfowVRirHKQ4G3H7Fz7LLK3MKU/s400/Blood+Sweat+and+Tears.jpg" width="360" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For me, Blood, Sweat And Tears second album was far superior to their first one "Child Is Father To The Man!" Both records came out in 1968!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsSwchthraM7sLlCgWV0IkTxQ0nXRQNpzbzmSfGOmdwGSf4AlwC4G7ZGC7p18hLT1g_uWPY8kiW6NcBIz2dCsKdnMDmZXDXETGZb0Fwv6FZR-jUjsifuKBO5LQfsrgUT35TR2J1j505j4/s1600/Funkadelic+-+Hardcore+Jollies.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsSwchthraM7sLlCgWV0IkTxQ0nXRQNpzbzmSfGOmdwGSf4AlwC4G7ZGC7p18hLT1g_uWPY8kiW6NcBIz2dCsKdnMDmZXDXETGZb0Fwv6FZR-jUjsifuKBO5LQfsrgUT35TR2J1j505j4/s400/Funkadelic+-+Hardcore+Jollies.jpg" width="360" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Inspiration and uniqueness are one thing, but for sheer listen-ability time after time, I much prefer Funkadelic's 1976 sloppy cosmic release called "Hardcore Jollies," as compared to "Maggot Brain" that came out in 1971!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The same thing is true for Miles Davis! There's no denying that "Bitches Brew" that was released in 1970 is one of the most unique records of all time, but for something to listen to over and over, I'll take the funky ass "Jack Johnson" soundtrack from 1971 any day!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqTXw0qTUXDWw5yWKBuIkzZPDlYtCJOBGnv6YfBu0e1K5j0UjLN0NtNGaSWWNlBvCMgmm5ik5ZoE1uxfoUfMs9IbGQNsbh4J_3BaM25fXL8luD3IOlWjMLaE1fCX_5CD5UAJKydHwUlrM/s1600/Meters+-+Fire+On+The+Bayou.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqTXw0qTUXDWw5yWKBuIkzZPDlYtCJOBGnv6YfBu0e1K5j0UjLN0NtNGaSWWNlBvCMgmm5ik5ZoE1uxfoUfMs9IbGQNsbh4J_3BaM25fXL8luD3IOlWjMLaE1fCX_5CD5UAJKydHwUlrM/s400/Meters+-+Fire+On+The+Bayou.jpg" width="360" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Arguably all the records by The Meters should be on this list, but just to make space for other artists, I'm picking the super hot "Fire On The Bayou" from 1975 over their 1969 effort titled "Look-Ka Py Py!"</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
These five records are all undeniable classics in my book! Five records that you can listen to over and over again and not ever get tired of! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
From 1960, the beautiful Miles Davis album, "Sketches Of Spain!"</div>
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
I always thought this was one of the strangest album covers! One of my favourite Bob Dylan records, from 1967, "John Wesley Harding!"</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Almost all of Bob Marley's records are brilliant, but there are a couple that are extra exceptional like this 1973 release, "Catch A Fire!"</div>

I love SKA music, and the first wave of UK SKA was quite memorable in my opinion,</div>

So that's why I chose The Specials first album from 1979!</div>

This is also a great album by The Members that was made in 1979 called "At The Chelsea Nightclub!" How can you go wrong with a song called "Rat Up A Drainpipe?" You can't!</div>

I've decided I've been making this way to difficult on myself by trying to keep it overly varied! If I plan to ever finish this list, I'm going to have to admit that a band like Creedence Clearwater Revival has at least five albums that deserve to be on this list, because from 1968 through 1970, CCR was killing it! So here they are! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The self-titled "Creedence Clearwater Revival" came out in 1968, and contained "I Put A Spell On You," "Suzie Q,"(#9) and "Porterville!" Creedence had arrived!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The 1969 "Bayou Country" contained both the killer songs, "Born On The Bayou," and "Proud Mary"(#2) and this really obscure psychedelic swamp cover!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

In 1969, they also released "Willy And The Poor Boys," that had "Down On The Corner"(#3), and "Fortunate Son"(6) on it!<br />
<br />

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not content with that many hits, they also released "Green River" in 1969 with "Green River"(#2), "Bad Moon Rising"(2), and "Lodi" on it!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

In 1970, CCR released "Cosmo's Factory" that had four chartoppers on it, "Travelin' Band"(#2), "Who'll Stop The Rain"(#2), "Up Around The Bend"(#2), and "Lookin' Out My Back Door"(#1)!! In the course of only four years "Creedence Clearwater Revival" racked up 17 top 40 hits, and they were all good! Nice run!!!</div>

THORINSHIELD - "Thorinshield" (1968)<br />
<br />
I love this record just because I never could figure out what in the Hell they were up to! Mystery in music is a good thing! Pop Schmock, but interesting with titles like Life Is A Dream," and "Daydreaming," with awkward horn arrangements! Better than the whole Windham Hill catalogue!<br />

JEFFERSON AIRPLANE - "After Bathing At Baxter's" (1967)<br />
<br />
Although I've already put two other Jefferson Airplane records on this list, "After Bathing At Baxter's" is my favourite Airplane album! It is perfectly crazy from start to finish!<br />

MIKE BLOOMFIELD, AL KOOPER, STEPHEN STILLS - "Super Session" (1968)<br />
<br />
The most beautiful, and one of the best songs on the record is the shortest, and the only one written by unheralded bass player Harvey Brooks called "Harvey's Tune!" This is a great LP!<br />

THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA - "The United States Of America" (1967)<br />
<br />
This is another one of those records that doesn't get enough creds for being weird ahead of it's time! It's not always comforting, but then, "Reality <i>Is</i> Only Temporary!"<br />

<br />
Super talented group of guys that included Al Kooper on Keys and vocals, Tommy Flanders on vocals, Danny Kalb playing guitar, Steve Katz on guitar and vocals, Andy Kulberg playing bass and flute, and Roy Blumenfield on drums!<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Blues Breakers - John Mayall with Eric Clapton (1966)</span><br />
<br />
When it comes to British blues, it doesn't get much better than this, with John Mayall on vocals, keys, and Harp, Slow Hand Clapton on guitar, Fleetwood Mac's John McVie on bass, and Hughie Flint on the traps! It might be the blues, but it's rock solid!<br />

Henry Saint Clair Fredericks aka Mr. Taj Mahal, was born in Harlem, New
York! Taj has so many wonderful records, it was hard to just pick out
one, but "Satisfied And Tickled Too" from 1976, has got Taj's classic
version of one of my all-time favorite songs on it, "Ain't Nobody's
Business!"

Jesse Winchester was also born in Louisiana at Barksdale Army Air Field, outside of Bossier City! I think I'm starting to see a pattern here! This 1977 album titled "Nothing But A Breeze," is just that, and it breezes along quite nicely enough to be on this list!</div>

Jefferson Airplane's first record might actually be their best! With Signe Toly Anderson singing instead of Grace, "Takes Off" from 1966 is solid from start to finish!<br />

Leon Russell is so talented and has done so much over the years, it's actually beyond comprehension! Long before this record came out, his keyboard skills were heard on records by everybody from the BYRDS to The Beach Boys and Gary Lewis and the Playboys just to scratch the surface! This 1970 solo record simply titled "Leon Russell" is just the topping on the cake of a musical genius!<br />

Speaking of cake, Little Feat's 2nd album from 1972 called "Sailin' Shoes" featured this awesome Neon Park artwork, and so many great songs! This is the stuff that desert island adventures are made of!<br />

Stevie Wonder's 1972 LP "Talking Book" is just another one of his amazing releases. This record featured the two timeless classics "You Are The Sunshine Of My Life" and "Superstition!"

A lot of Rock and Roll started sucking, and the sound of the Disco beat was becoming almost unavoidable. As a college D.J. on the tiniest station ever, I was allowed to hear and play some music that wasn't being played anywhere on the radio where I was, and the most exciting new genres of music were Jazz Funk, Jazz Rock and Jazz Fusion! Here's five awesome examples! On Rolling Stone's list? Highly doubtful!<br />

Blue Cheer - Vincebus Eruptum (1968) This record was a predecessor to both Punk and Metal music! Not the most talented guys in the world with Loud guitars and one goal, to rock your ass!<br />
<br />

Fleetwood Mac - "English Rose" (1969) Of all the incarnations of Fleetwood Mac, the Peter Green era is still my favourite! From "Stop Messin' Round" to "Albatross," this is one solid record, and it also has one of the best covers of all time!<br />
<br />

In 1965 The Moody Blues came out with their first record alternately called "Go Now" or "The Moody Blues #1. The Moody Blues were ballsy, the opening song is James Brown's "I Go Crazy," and the rest of the record follows in spectacular style! "Go Now" is one of my favourite songs of all time!<br />

There are a couple of Stevie Wonder albums on Rolling Stones' list, but somehow "Innervisions" didn't make the cut. I'm sorry, that is just not possible or plausible! Made in 1973, "Innervisons" contains "Too High," "Livin' For The City," "Higher Ground," and "Don't You Worry 'Bout A Thing!" Case closed!<br />

Delaney and Bonnie had more than one great record, but I think my favourite is "To Bonnie From Delaney," the 1970 soul shaker that features not only the awesome vocal talents of this couple but also two of my favourite musicians, Duane Allman and Jim Dickinson!Eegah!! and Tabonga!http://www.blogger.com/profile/05260131201716267229noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1385039178812755181.post-74563331551748383102014-06-22T14:05:00.000-07:002014-06-28T13:23:27.702-07:00The REAL 500 Best Albums Of All Time - Part 30 of 100 - 5 More Undeniable Classics"<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

In reality, depending on one's taste in music, a person could easily come up with 500 Jazz records, 500 Blues records, 500 Country records, or 500 Rock records, but having to decide among them is a real chore! It's impossible to really list the 500 best records of all time, so I
might as well cut loose and list a bunch of great records starting with
the Blues!<br />

"Singin' The Blues" came out in 1959, and was Blues Boy King's first release! Is it any better than his second or third record? I doubt it, and therein lies the conundrum! What a great cover!<br />

I like electric guitars, so I'm going to pick electric blues over acoustic blues 9 out of 10 times! Muddy Waters threw his psychedelic hat into the ring in 1968! "Electric Mud" is revered by some and loathed by others! Personally, I dig the shit out of it!<br />

I love anything by Magic Sam! Just the fact that's he's magic should be enough for anyone, but if that's not enough, then there's this 1967 LP to prove it! This is one of my favourite record covers of all time!<br />

This 1968 album by Howlin' Wolf is wrong on so many levels, it's sick to not love it! Guitarist Hubert Sumlin went deep and summoned up licks from God knows where, and The Wolf's vocals will send shivers down your spine!!<br />

Here are five more LPs on Rolling Stones Top 500 Albums that I can
agree with! More no-brainers!!I probably should have done all the records
by one artist on the list together, but then, planning is not my strong
suit! The 1965 Dylan album called "Highway 61 Revisited" is almost
perfect from beginning to end! Although "Blonde On Blonde" has a bunch of equally
classic songs on it, I'm not including it on this list because there's no
justification for the overly long "Sad Eyed Lady Of The Lowlands!"<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

You gotta love this 1965 record from The Motor City Five, it was just about as raw as it could get up that point in time, so don't argue, just "Kick out the jams, motherfuckers!!"<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I'm not the biggest Rod Stewart fan in the world, but this 1971 LP was, and still is, hypnotic! Sometimes all the planets just align prefectly! Rod Stewart - "Every Picture Tells A Story!"<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI8KCF_y2aW6ZigoQEdOlVLWfehMis8IZiVZIPsz1T598OYDkEqU_9OaA8QF1uag-ggtueg1qgk7Fv6wkcaI05a4k6FoCFgiJn1F_97evAbl84_cha54LrATKuhfAKMK3yF2-HH2t2WVU/s1600/Rolling+Stones+-+Between+The+Buttons.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI8KCF_y2aW6ZigoQEdOlVLWfehMis8IZiVZIPsz1T598OYDkEqU_9OaA8QF1uag-ggtueg1qgk7Fv6wkcaI05a4k6FoCFgiJn1F_97evAbl84_cha54LrATKuhfAKMK3yF2-HH2t2WVU/s400/Rolling+Stones+-+Between+The+Buttons.jpg" /></a></div>
I thought I had used all the Stones' records that made the list already, but this 1967 album of theirs called "Between The Buttons" can't be left behind, it just had too many great songs on it!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOmDHFOs9mSUogU-EY01ZkkBDW1r_usBa3EOkWrC3zfMn46S-GW7aqmp6FJcmo1IMBMtryzX6nP5mC1zNhT-sGGn-LhMN6_kKDv60s1cNvlGiMQfkW8N0raK7H1aH3Swd3r3U8wgrfaIs/s1600/The+Wailers+-+Burnin%27.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOmDHFOs9mSUogU-EY01ZkkBDW1r_usBa3EOkWrC3zfMn46S-GW7aqmp6FJcmo1IMBMtryzX6nP5mC1zNhT-sGGn-LhMN6_kKDv60s1cNvlGiMQfkW8N0raK7H1aH3Swd3r3U8wgrfaIs/s400/The+Wailers+-+Burnin'.jpg" /></a></div>
Again, I should have grouped all The Wailers' LPs together, but I didn't! Rolling Stone lists this record as Bob Marley and The Wailers, but at this point they were still known as simply The Wailers, and still included members Bunny Wailer and Peter Tosh! Irie-Ites!!!

Crosby, Stills & Nash (1969) This is almost a perfect album!<br />

In 1969 Fugs member Ed Sanders stepped out on his own and released
arguably the best country parody LP of all time, and called it "Sanders' Truckstop!" The two songs that begin each side, "Jimmy Joe, The Hippybilly Boy," and "The Iliad" are the true standouts, but the rest of the album is as good as some greasy biscuits and gravy!</div>

Most all of The Captain's work is fantastic and "Trout Mask Replica" always gets kudos for being a revolutionary breakthrough in music, but for sheer listenablity, I prefer "Clear Spot" from 1972! This record actually had songs on it with commercial appeal but it's still pure Beefheart!</div>

Listening to this 1971 album called "Lost In The Ozone Again" by Commander Cody and his Lost Planet Airmen never gets old! An honest to goodness classic!<br />

Long John Baldry never seems to get enough credit, but this 1971 LP is a standout in my book. From the title song to "Don't Try To Lay No Boogie Woogie On The King Of The Rock And Roll," it just doesn't get much better than this!<br />

How can you go wrong when two of the best guitar players in history get together to have a good time and share it? You can't, and that's what Chet Atkins and Les Paul did in 1976 with this album simply titled "Chester & Lester!"

I found this 3 record 1972 release in a box in a corner of an old thrift store with a 25 cent price tag on it some forty years ago! I've still got it! "A Lot Of People Would Like To See Armand Schaubroeck...DEAD" is one of the oddest records you'll ever hear, AND a scathing commentary on society!!</div>

SPIRIT Guitarist Randy California's side project "Kaptain Kopter and the Fabulous Twirly Birds" from 1972 is the best Hendrix album Jimi never made! Hendrix was the one who tagged Randy with the name California, so it's only fitting!!<br />
