Our Top 10 Favorite Albums of All Time (w/Martin Popoff)

[@GandalfGreyhame]

While it's true you'll gain a special appreciation for music because you were there when it came out, I think younger people can find appreciation for it in their own way. I'm a 20-year-old guy that listens to a lot of rock, especially from the late 60s and early 70s. I wasn't there when it was released. I've never heard it being played on the radio or had friends recommend it to me. What makes it unique to me is that I discovered it by myself. I remember distinctly how I watched a live performance of Led Zeppelin on youtube when I was 14, and it absolutely blew me away. I remember questioning myself, "where has this type of music been all my life?". Since then, I've used the internet to find the music I enjoy, using everything from music-streaming services to forums and youtube channels. And that's what brought me to this channel! I would just like to thank you for the content you make. It has given me so much music to explore and made me see it from a perspective I never would've otherwise. Cheers!

[@MartinPopoff]

Nice! But still, I imagine the things happening now for you have a few advantages...

Great show here’s mine: 1) Chicago - III (1971) 2) Mahavishnu Orchestra - The Inner Mounting Flame (1971) 3) Prism - Self Titled (1977) [Japanese Band] 4) Cold Chisel - East (1980) 5) David Sancious & Tone - Dance Of The Age Of Enlightenment (1977) 6) Return To Forever - Romantic Warrior (1976) 7) Weather Report - Black Market (1976) 8) Earth, Wind, & Fire - All N All (1977) 9) Al Di Meola - Land Of The Midnight Sun (1976) 10) The Eagles - One Of These Nights (1975)

Black Water Park easily in my top 10. Phenomenal album.

[@bigneiltoo]

I was just playing Rime of the Ancient Mariner (1984) and I think that was the Swan Song for Heavy Metal itself. That was September 1984 and while cutting edge at the time was obsolete by January 1985 when Ride the Lightning took the world by storm and Thrash Metal took over.

[@kevinsnodgrass6222]

Black Sabbath!

[@wangson]

Yeah man! That's a thoughtful list...I think that the only band that we would share on our top 10 bands list would be The Doors: The Doors. I wore the cassette tape out of my first copy of it. That was a brilliant album. The Who: Who's Next is fantastic too....as is Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Other than their hits, the band you've listed that I'm least familiar with would be Boston. I really don't know a lot by that band.

[@Vinylfromtheunderground]

If you love sticky fingers then you need to listen to teenage head by the flamin groovies. Mick was on record stating that teenage head is better than sticky. Came out in 1971 and to me, I like head slightly better due to the punk edge it has over sticky. Anyway, check it out now. You will be thankful

[@ghj290]

@Sir Norman I still think that Nightfall is their best overall album; yes there are some tracks on others that are as good, if not better, but taken as a complete "album" , they've never bested it.

[@dremoralorde5215]

I'm 21 and I can't help but feel Martin is a little disconnected. The hits from that album (which is most of it) still get played all the time and most people my age know and like those songs. The most common band T-shirt to see at my university is Led Zeppelin, easily. I don't really have a source for this but I'm pretty confident that music from the 70s is way more popular today than music from the 20s was in the 70s. Nobody my age finds rock music unfamiliar, despite the popularity of other stuff.

[@jpmcmullan8666]

@@dremoralorde5215 I think it’s unfair to expect Martin to be connected with people our age. There’s probably too few that he interacts with. You are right about music in the 70s being more popular today than music from the 20s was in the 70s, but that’s because of accessibility and exposure due to technology. You can’t buy your groceries without hearing Zeppelin. People in the 70s weren’t listening to the Duke while they shopped for groceries. None of my friends find radio-“Dad Rock” or “Arena Rock” unfamiliar, but when I rip out some Rush, Savatage, Steve Vai or even anything off Thunder and Lightening people are shocked.

22 year-old here: most of my fave music is '70s stuff! Not that I have it out for what's come out in the last 30 years or so, but rather that there's so much to dig through in that decade. I'll also say, Boston's debut is pretty solid, though I'll probably be waiting till its 50th anniversary to give it a spin again...

I probably never need to listen to again although as Pete alluded to, we don't always need to listen to it to love it. Some honorable mentions: "Ziggy Stardust..." from Bowie, Van Halen's debut, "Revolver" by the Beatles, "Born to Run" by Bruce, "London Calling" by The Clash, "Wildflowers by Tom Petty, "The Yes Album", "Crime of the Century" by Supertramp, "Fly Like and Eagle" by Steve Miller, "Aja" by Steely Dan, "It's Only Rock and Roll" by the Stones, Rainbow's debut, "Rust Never Sleeps" by Neil Young.

Very cool list, we have three in common. Good to see others here appreciate Dylan, Exile and Pet Sounds as well.

[@ursula3438]

@@beetlebum7760 Honestly I feel like "Pet Sounds" should be in any music lover's top 10. Brian imo stands in the tradition of the great arrangers at Capitol of the 50s like Gordon Jenkins or Nelson Riddle, but he took it in a totally new direction, when he married the orchestral and big band palette of the 50s with the sound and instrumentarium of the surf bands of the early 60s, then added a bit of Spectoresque production and topped it all off with those Barbershop inspired vocal harmonies, that highlighted the once in a lifetime gorgeous vocal blend of his bros and company. That's just such a super cool eclectic combination of styles, just as cool and eclectic as the combination of instruments he used liked bowed double bass and electric bass, or organ and accordion, or harpsichord and ukulele, etc... And I haven't even mentioned yet his gifts as a song composer and writer of melody. No wonder Macca calls "Pet Sounds" his favourite album ever.

I love to watch your Fridays videos with Martin at night when I'm tucked in my bed for good night viewings. A perfect way to end the Friday for me. That Pete Townshend album is my fav of him, almost made it in my list too. This is a difficult topic, so many albums to choose from. Honestly, a top ten doesn't cut it for me, a top 30, top 50 perhaps, but here it is, a list of the ones that are close to my immediate memory, I'll be remembering much more later, I'm sure: 1. Sgt. Pepper, The Beatles 2. The Lamb Lies Down, Génesis 3. Lateralus, Tool 4. Low (RYKO edition), David Bowie 5. Sailing to Philadelphia, Mark Knopfler 6. Dark Side of the Moon, Pink Floyd 7. Tug of War, Paul McCartney 8. So, Peter Gabriel ( I was tempted to put my longtime fav, 3, but So really made a phenomenal impact in my life and my appreciation for music). 9. Songs of faith and devotion, Depeche Mode 10. Walkie Talkie, AIR.

Here I was thinking about All the Best Cowboys Have Chinese Eyes thirty seconds before I started watching this, and it turns out to be one of Martin’s honorable mentions. I’m a massive Who and Townshend fan, but I had always kind of dismissed that album, until recently when I bought a CD of it and listened to it for the first time in probably 12 years.

I am like Pete (& The Clash) with that group. I don’t like most of what I have heard. Earlier this year I was in Los Angeles for a few weeks and listened to a radio station that played a lot of new wave & synth era stuff. Most I heard i liked, but I found that every time a song came on that I didn’t like, it was almost always DM. It became became even kind of funny to me as sometimes I would see the artist name right away on the car radio digital display but often it happened that I would be driving and think to myself “I don’t care much for this song before looking at the radio display only to then look and see that it was DM). I know there are plenty of people who think they are wonderful and that’s great. I’m just not one of them. I don’t intend any ill will with this comment. We all like what we like.
