This 1966 LP by Donovan was totally overlooked despite having the classic song "Season Of The Witch" on it! Without a doubt it deserved to be on the list!
I love this album from 1990 by Dread Zeppelin! You've got a great Elvis impersonator as a front man while doing Reggae covers of Led Zeppellin! What the Hell more could you possibly want? These guys have some real imagination!!!
I'm just not quite sure how this 1971 Nilsson album didn't make Rolling Stone's list! With super classic tunes like "Coconut" and "Jump Into The Fire" with Herbie Flowers driving bass line, the only thing it was missing was the song that was saved for "Son Of Schmilsson," "You're Breaking My Heart" (So Fuck You!) Harry in his bathrobe on the cover is beyond classy!
Little Feat have more than one classic album, but I think this one is my favourite! With the talents of Lowell George, Paul Barrere, and the keyboard skills of one of the best pianists in rock history, Bill Payne rockin' from start to finish, this 1973 record is amazing, and with the heavenly backup singer combination punch using singers Bonnie Bramlett, Bonnie Raitt, Daring Dan Hutton, Debbie Lindsey, Gloria Jones, Stephanie Spurville, and Tret Fure, it's just almost unbeatable!
From the first time I heard it til the last time I heard it, this 1970 album by Jerry Williams, AKA Swamp Dogg delivers just what it set out to do! "Total Destruction To Your Mind!" This record should have been a no brainer choice for RS's list, but instead it was totally ignored! What's wrong with people? I guess their minds were already destroyed!!
I left this really great comment yesterday, did you not get it?
ReplyDeleteDon't know why, but actually, No, I didn't get it! The last comment I have on record from you was last Monday! Please do it again!!
DeleteI LOVE this Dread Zeppelin album! When I first read about them (In Rolling Stone Magazine no less!) that it was a reggae group with an Elvis impersonator for a lead singer and they do Led Zep songs, I knew I had to own it! I actually have two of their albums.
ReplyDeleteI don't seem to care for Nilsson as much as other people. Gilligan at Retrospace loves him too.
I saw Dread Zep a few years ago live, the lead guitarist played the whole set with no shirt in just in tidy whities! It was hilarious! He never missed a lick!
