House of Pain, Fine Malt Lyrics
Van Morrison’s Into the Music
Well, if the Grateful Dead had actually followed through with their plan of releasing “Workingman’s Dead” and “American Beauty” as one double album, it’d definately get my vote. As it is, Am. Beauty is still up there. Otherwise, I’d nominate “Let it Bleed” by the Rolling Stones, and (to get slightly more obscure) “Hopeless Romantic” by the Bouncing Souls. Damn, I love the Souls. Oh, yeah, and everything that’s been nominated previously.

Selling England by the pound - Genesis
No, no! I can’t pick just one!
I’ll narrow it down two. Best I can do.
Welcome to the Neighborhood by Meatloaf
Taboo by Claudia Christian. Although, I’m waiting for her new one to get here, and since each one’s been better than the last, well, who knows.
Bloodletting by Concrete Blonde
It’s been my favourite album for over ten years, and it never fails to excite me. Every time I listen to it, I still feel something new.
Permanent Waves by Rush.
Don Henley–The End of the Innocence
The Who–Who’s Next
Led Zeppelin IV
Strange Days, by The Doors.
An absolute American classic, IMHO.
Keith Jarrett’s Koln Concert (sorry, no idea how to get the umlaut on the o in Koln)

Current 93’s Thunder Perfect Mind
This is hard, as it changes every few years…I listened to Sgt Pepper all the time back in the mid-1970s, and Let It Be (Replacements version) in the mid-80s, but I NEVER put them on any more…
I’d have to go with Out of the Cool by The Gil Evans Orchestra, circa 1961, which I’ve had in my collection in one format or another since 1978, and which still gets played every other month or so, even though I’ve memorized it.
