A fantastic album from my youth.

Bruce Springsteen and E Street Band's "Darkness On The Edge Of Town

I saw the Darkness on the Edge of Town tour at the Montreal Forum concert bowl, November 8, 1978. I was about 15th row on the floor. Bruce was two feet away when he sang part of Spirit in the Night in the audience. That tour was arguably his peak as a live performer.

I didn't like the mix on the Darkness album. To me, it was 'muddy', but the songs are great. I won a free copy of the album from a 'guess the release date' promotion.

Here's the December 8, 1978 show from that tour at The Summit in Houston, Texas:

...and Out Come the Wolves by Rancid is great from start to finish.

I agree with Ok Computer.

I was very tempted to put The Bends instead of Ok Computer but Climbing up the Walls is just too good. As for Nirvana...Lake of Fire and Man Who Sold the World are, for my money, the best Nirvana songs ever.

Ummm... you do know that those are both cover songs, right?

 

[seanzo]

Since this thread is still going I'll drop another handful

Burial - Untrue


Sam Roberts Band - Chemical City


GZA - Liquid Swords


Daft Punk - Discovery


SBTRKT - SBTRKT

I do, which is why I love them so much. Nirvana did them so much better than the original artists, though if I'm not mistaken I believe that two members of the Meat Puppets played guitar and bass on stage with Kurt and Dave for Lake of Fire

 

[Sonic Temple]

1. Good Enough
2. Why Can't This Be Love
3. Get Up
4. Dreams
5. Summer Nights
6. Best of Both Worlds
7. Love Walks In

Lol so I take it you don't like them

Michael Jackson- Off The Wall
Jay Z- The Black Album
DMX- Its Dark and the Hell is hot

For Jay Z I'd say The Black Album is his 2nd best album after Reasonable Doubt, which I have in my top 10 hip hop albums of all time.
