Man, what a tasty list of music so far, I have a few to add :

Stevie Ray Vaughan - Texas Flood

Springsteen - Greeting from Asbury Park NJ

U2 - Boy

Aerosmith - Aerosmith

All of these bands went on to put out some great music but I always go back to the early stuff to get their raw, honest sound. Aerosmith - what happened to them? Good lord ... I wouldn’t be surprised if the next release is elevator music. I believe Zep was probably the best example … Nothing ever sounded like Zeppelin I to me. Sure, there were glimmers but I can play some of the blues tracks like “I can’t quit you baby” or “Babe I’m gonna leave you” and hear real blues power with a hard rock edge. Man, it was brilliant work. I live for the day the Zeppelin box set comes out. I hope the people from Mobile Fidelity are reading this …

PS – Where is my “Candy O” LP?

And for the punk/alternative crowd...

Ramones - self-titled

The Clash - self-titled

New York Dolls - self-titled

Television - Marquee Moon

Paul Simon's first solo album.
