FWIW, I have to agree with the following choices: If I Should Fall From Grace With God - The Pogues Deja vu- CSNY (‘Almost Cut My Hair’ stands out in my mind) Aja “New York” by Lou Reed (Brilliant) Bat Out of Hell by Meatloaf (A rock classic) and add a few more (for now:D) ‘London Calling’, by The Clash, voted about ten years ago as the best album of the last 25 years by Rolling Stone magazine. ‘Layla (And Other Assorted Love Songs)’ by Derek and the Dominoes. ---

Green Days Dookie and Warning Cd absolutely kick ass in my mind. Any Blink 182 album rocks. Rancid’s Out Come The Wolves. Most of the Ramones CD’s are all good. Of course these happen to be my opinion so let me get flamed 😛 ---

Pink Floyd–Wish You Were Here. There’s not one track I’d ever consider skipping. Both parts of “Crazy Diamond” are pure genius, Have a Cigar and Welcome to the Machine are Floyd cynicism at its best, and the title track is one of my favorites. Oddly, I also like Yes–The Ladder. Every track is at least catchy, IMHO. ---

> [@](#): > > :::sigh::: > > I feel so OLD!!! You’re only as old as your taste in music 😛 I listen to bands that were out before I was born, and my 50 year old father listens to deathmetal. If you’re having trouble relating to some of the bands and albums being listed, give some of them a shot. While I’ll be the first to agree that “they don’t make music like that anymore”, what they do make is still damn good. ---
