My Flickr friend John recently posted his 10 favorite albums and encouraged me to do the same.
I enjoy a wide range of music, so picking just 10 albums is one difficult task. So let's just say these 10 are high among the 100's I wouldn't want to live without!
Charlie Parker - Dial and Savoy master takes. OK, I'm cheating already as this is at least two albums. But Bird, with a handful of other geniuses, created the vocabulary of modern jazz, and every note here is precious.
Miles Davis - Kind of Blue. Possibly the single greatest jazz album ever cut.
Charles Mingus - Blues & Roots . There's a joyful spirit to this album which knocks me over every time.
Carla Bley Band - Social Studies. Great stuff, progressive yet accessible. Splendid orchestration throughout.
Now on to rock & folk..
Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited. Could just as well have been "Blonde on Blonde" or "Blood on the Tracks", but this one has "Desolation Row" on it, which I consider Dylan's magnum opus..
Simon & Garfunkel - Box Set I've loved them since I was a kid of 8or 9, listening to my older brother's records. Probably explains a lot about my current worldview, seeing as how I was groovin' at that age to songs about people gassing themselves in lonely apartments....
Grateful Dead - American Beauty - For a few years, I was a real Dead Head, and of course the live jams are where it's at. Still, the beauty of the lyrics on this album helped me through many a tough time..
Elvis Costello - Get Happy! Each of the two or three minute songs on this one is a perfect jewel. The lyrics cut like the dialogue in a film noir..
Chicago - The Blues Today - Vol 1 - Representing the many blues artists I love is this album, which features selections from Junior Wells / Buddy Guy / J.B. Hutto / and Otis Spann
Beethoven - The Complete Works - Since I've only left myself room for one classical, I'll just take this 85 CD set covering all the works of my favorite composer..:)
