Smoke Rings in the Dark for me.  Not a big country fan but do enjoy his music.  He's my wife's favorite. 
He does a fucking awesome show.

If you want to see a tortured man, there he is.

"Smoke Rings" is a sexy one but "It Ain't The Whiskey" will get you in the feels.

That "Life's Rich Pageant" tour was outstanding!  They hadn't yet made it HUGE but were about a college/regional touring act.  One of the better live shows I've seen.  Fetchin' Bones opened up.   Only bad thing was I had to drive to Oklahoma City to see the show.

These Days / Harborcoat / Sitting Still / Maps And Legends / The One I Love / Shaking Through / Fall On Me / White Tornado / The Flowers Of Guatemala / I Believe / Driver 8 / Superman / Sloop John B / Can't Get There From Here / Old Man Kensey / Auctioneer (Another Engine) / Pretty Persuasion / Little America
encore 1: Begin The Begin / Cuyahoga / Strange
encore 2: Toys In The Attic / Just A Touch / So. Central Rain (I'm Sorry)

If they count then the Eagles.

I’ll include Legend as well if we’re talking hits/compilation.

Modern music consumption is done in bits and pieces, a streamed song here, a shuffled artist playlist there. Hard to appreciate good albums anymore. I need to go visit some of the ones above. But I digress .

Glad to see Achtung Baby on the U2 list. For me personally I’ll add Pop. I don’t skip any on there.

And Enigma MCMXC. About wore that out along with Full Moon Fever in 1990.

For U2 I don’t skip anything on Unforgettable Fire or Joshua Tree.

Agree an Legend. And Full Moon Fever.

Also agree on consumption in bits and pieces now. Probably the last (and first in a long time) I’ve really locked onto for full spins was Southeastern. And before that it was probably Norah Jones.

Back in the day I’d end up with one cassette or CD that would just stay in the car for months and get played over and over. Number of the Beast might have lasted close to a year in 1984ish.

With guest Adrian Belew on guitar. I saw Phish cover that album at The Omni in Atlanta as their “musical costume” on Halloween 1996. Both the album and that show pass the acid test. 

Saw Belew with King Crimson and when he toured with Gabriel. Belew with Tony Levin is the shit.

This is tough to do as there are quite a lot of perfect albums to me.  I left off all compilations like The Eagles Greatest Hits or Marley Legend even though those are perfect albums also.  

Abbey Road- The Beatles 

Revolver- The Beatles

Born to Run-Springsteen

Darkness on the Edge of Town- Springsteen

What’s Going On?- Marvin Gaye

Pauls Boutique-Beastie Boys (Licensed to Ill could be on this list also)

The Stranger-Billy Joel

Nashville Skyline-Dylan (Blood on the Tracks might be better but I can play this entire album without skipping a song)

Animals- Pink Floyd

The Nightfly- Donald Fagen

Tapestry-Carole King

People’s Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm- A Tribe Called Quest

This leaves out Zeppelin IV, Back in Black, Appetite for Destruction, Straight Outta Compton, and many more that are right up there with my list.

I saw him with Bowie . . . and then when he sat at the next table at Kerbey Lane Cafe.  I completely fanboied him.  He could not have been nicer.

I’m working on my list and I’m stuck on Bob Dylan. Trying to avoid duplicating artists and I have to choose one between Blood on the Tracks, Blonde on Blonde, and Hwy 61 Revisted? This is hard as fuck. I think I’d need 20

I would go with Blonde on Blonde,  a double album that never drags (I should have included  on my list).

Late to the party. A bunch of repeats that I'm not going to list because we all love them -  myself included. 

Idk who the fuck this is but they posted the best list I saw:

Includes a lot of stuff that was ignored that shouldn't have been. Funeral, Highway 61, Velvet Underground/Nico, Who's Next. 

None of you hit what I think is my current #1 ever in the clubhouse:

Sign O'The Times - Prince

So - I don't know. I'll probably die before I hear anything that stunning from front to back that effectively lobotomizes me when I try to dissect it. 

(Obviously I'm going back and listening - disc 2 (according to Spotify) is absolutely dumb. One of the greatest things ever put on tape)

Purple Rain is great too. Didn't see that listed. 

(And maybe I'll start another thread for hip-hop albums)

When Robert Fripp won his lawsuit and put King Crimson back together in the 90’s it was one of the greatest things that ever happened. I’d have to check my ticket stubs for the actual count but I saw them at least a half dozen times from ‘95 to ‘03. (Also passed the acid test.) I’ve seen Adrian in a lot of formats. I’ve seen him in KC side projects. I’ve seen him in The Bears (Cincinnati’s own). I’ve seen him solo acoustic. I’ve seen him in his own band. I can’t remember what game it was that the Buckeyes lost but he gave a free solo acoustic show outside some art gallery that night. I remember that better than the game.

I regret never seeing him with Zappa or Talking Heads but I’ve got the albums he performed on. Same with Paul Simon and Nine Inch Nails. I’ve got over a dozen of his solo albums and some really good bootlegs. A favorite story I like to tell is how, at one of his solo shows, in between songs I jokingly hollered “Freebird!” He looked at me, gave me the finger, and said, “I got your free bird right here.” I thought that was awesome. He’s amazing and the best guitarist the average person has never heard of. I could probably ask some friends I’ve played his albums for before who he is and they’d probably say they don’t know.
