hmmm...
live album - not surprisingly the two greatest live rock recording of all time top the list. Both so very essential and brilliant
now that the Fillmore East has been expanded it can favorable be compared to the earlier released expanded Live at Leeds.
At the Filmore East by a hair over Live at Leeds. Can't really put either album into a genre so making it its own
classic rock album? that is hard.
Steven Stills - Manassas get it today by a hair over .. oh... 20 others that I could have picked haha. Though in the last year Fleetwood Mac's Future Days has really shot hard and fast up my favorite/essential list.
Modern rock album... zero f**king contest. Best rock album bar none of the 30 years.
Blind Melon - Soup
Jazz - no brainer. Time Out. Every single second of that album is imprinted into my DNA. Probably because my parents adored that album and heard it the womb.. and when I popped out... I was crying and fussing til momma put it on to calm me. Still today I enjoy it immensely.
Country - another no brainer. Willie - The Troublemaker
Classical - another no brainer.. Rachmaninoff plays Rachmaninoff..
Funk - James Brown - The Payback.. just over Slick Rick James - Street Songs
Metal - sh*t... SAD WINGS OF DESTINY!!!!!
Pop/easy listening... oh my god. Perfection. Van Morison -Astral Weeks
