Nighthawk 0 Report post Posted January 20, 2008 The Stooges - Raw Power (pronounced leh-nerd skin-nerd) Rolling Stones - Goats Head Soup (I know this is less popular, but it's my favorite Stones album) Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road Alice Cooper Billion Dollar Babies Tom Waits - Closing Time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kinetic 0 Report post Posted January 20, 2008 Aladdin Sane is probably my 2nd least favorite Bowie album from his peak period. Still good, though. Here Come the Warm Jets remains my favorite Eno album. A busy year for Bryan Ferry, apparently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Giuseppe Zangara 0 Report post Posted January 20, 2008 I like Goats Head Soup. Some duds, sure, but there's some classics on it. Closing Time remains my favorite Waits album from the 70s; for all the virtures of those that followed, a lot of his lounge lizard work was interchangeable.

Copper Feel 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2008 I have only heard Hotel California by the Eagles, well, that and their Greatest Hits. On the two albums the only song I don't despise is the former's title track. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C Dubya 04 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2008 Piano Man is a very strong album, as most of Billy Joel's pre-80's stuff is. Of course, the title track being beaten into the ground hurts the album, but otherwise, there is some good stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Man in Blak 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2008 Not sure I'd consider these in conversation for the best of the year, but some other interesting releases: John Cale - Paris 1919 (Stunned that Czech submitted Springsteen over this, by the way.) Henry Cow - Leg End Magma - Mekanïk Destruktïw Kommandöh Herbie Hancock - Head Hunters Also, a major year of crap in the Beatles' solo work: John and George coast on Mind Games and Living in the Material World, while Paul and Ringo release what many would argue are the best albums of their solo careers in Band on the Run and Ringo, respectively. I'm not even sure you could make a decent album if you clipped the listenable songs from all four albums into one, frankly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
