The Perfect Record

[seanzo]

Lol so I take it you don't like them

Why? Because my favorite album of theirs is a live acoustic album or because some of my favorite songs they did were covers?

Because they are covers. I thought you were sarcastic

Gwar - Scumdogs of the Universe

Guns n Roses - Appetite for Destruction

Prodigy - Fat of the Land

White Zombie - La Sexorcisto

Venom - Welcome to Hell

I must have listened to Scumdogs a thousand times in a row when I first got that album. I saw them in Toronto at the concert hall. Probably 1992. Still a good album. Forgot how much I liked it until just now.

Does anybody really like Nirvana? I'm 50 and I remember when they blew up. I was not impressed then and I'm still not.

Hmm yes

Music Of My Mind, Stevie Wonder

It was my first Stevie Wonder Album. I had it on 8 track and played it continuously when I drove from Ottawa to Banff in 1975.

unreleased mix from 2011, with video worth watching:

Probably an unpopular opinion, but I agree.

Overrated.

I had this album in my Discman as a kid and would listen to it over and over.

When I got a little older I started seeing them live in Montreal at Club Soda.
I've seen them three times (all before Dave Brockie passed away) and they are easily one of the best live shows out there.

Dave Brockie's death is the only musician's death I've ever truly mourned.

I wasn't. There are many covers that are head and shoulders above the original. All Along the Watchtower by Jimmy Hendrix, Hurt by Johnny Cash, The Ghost of Tom Joad by Rage Against the Machine...hell Walk off the Earth literally became famous because of their covers, their cover of Party Rock Anthem by LMFAO is by far their best imo. It takes an immense amount of talent and tact to take a song you didn't write and make it better than the original artist, Nirvana absolutely did that on their live album

 

[Josephine]

I would add Tragic Kindom by No doubt and NoFX - So Long Thanks for all the shoes.

 

[reaper29]

I think many folks have this album in their collections.

Oh well, whatever, never mind

The Eagles' Their Greatest Hits (1971–1975) is the best-selling rock album of all time

Yes, and below a very close second.

 

[jeff2]

I think we need to throw in Black Sabbath Paranoid, Deep Purple Machine Head(maybe not the Never Before song though) and perhaps Made in Japan and Zep 2.
Maybe Steely Dan - Can't Buy a Thrill. Before their lyrics started getting really silly on some later albums.
