Your vote for greatest (covers) album

glupson,

"Sid Vicious’ 1979 Sid Sings is a fun live album."

I have not heard that album, but Sid Vicious in My Way is the top.


You'll like it if you're a fan of the Stooges, New York Dolls, Ramones etc. Probably my favourite live album even if I don't play it very often.

Punk was not the entirely British invention that we thought it was - as we later found out. Its musical roots were firmly in the US/New York scene but we hadn't heard those bands. No one played them here back then.

At the time it was quite shocking. Quite a few years passed before the academics got their teeth stuck in and analysed it to death and the MSM could breathe again.

Yeah, Sid Vicious gets a bad rap. 🙄

Rolling Stones Blue and Lonesome Stones getting back to their roots.
John Lennon Rock and Roll
Bowie Pinups
Johnny Cash the Man Comes Around

What's that I hear?  The songs of Phil Ochs.

Lol, in the spirit of the A-goner who thought album covers, not song covers, I remember when Roger Waters’ solo album “Pros & Cons of Hitchhiking” was released in 1984, the girl on the cover had a naked behind.    Then, the Moms Against Yucky Album Covers (or whomever) made a stink and all subsequent releases had the black box over her rear end.   I was 16 and had to have the “right” cover.    
Again, sorry, I know we’re talking song covers here, not album covers.
