The Hudson Valley Squares: Our Top 5 Favorite Albums of All-Time

[@lance98541]

1. Black Sabbath - Sabotage 2. Deep Purple - In Rock 3. Pink Floyd - Animals 4. Kate Bush - The Dreaming 5. Yes - Close To The Edge

[@adamjacksonmedia]

Nice list! 2 of my favourite albums are Yes, Drama and Raindow, Rising. Interestingly if you take the keyboard play from Yes (who played on Drama in 1980, and is still in Yes today)... And the bass player from Rainbow, Rising (Dio's bass player)... You end up with Kate Bush, The Dreaming. Haha they both played on that album.

[@AZDC99]

The criminally underrated "Animals" album as well as "Sabotage".... The latter I favor over "Master of Reality or "Volume 4" nowadays. The Sabs had a bunch of great albums... Only true fans are lucky enough to know of their greatness beyond a few of them

[@kinesjl]

Solid list In Rock is my #1 and every other album on your list narrowly missed my cut. An all time top 5 is so hard, it's like asking me to choose a favorite child

[@jacobheaney3836]

Great show, here’s mine: 1) Return To Forever - Romantic Warrior (1976) 2) Mahavishnu Orchestra - Apocalypse (1974) 3) Herbie Hancock - Crossings (1972) 4) Al Di Meola - Land Of The Midnight Sun (1976) 5) Miles Davis - Pangaea (1975)

[@oceanhedonist265]

[@fmellish71]

1. Genesis - The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway 2. Can - Tago Mago 3. Captain Beefheart - Trout Mask Replica 4. The Beatles - Revolver 5. King Crimson - Larks' Tongues in Aspic

[@toddhill7483]

Lark's Tongue a musical achievement. Great list.

[@rk41gator]

TLLDOB one of the 20th century's best musical achievements.

[@AZDC99]

"Larks In Aspen's Tongue".. my awesome introduction to King Crimson. "Revolver' used to be a favorite.. but Rubber Soul overtook it when the real version or the UK version came out in the US with "Nowhere Man". (Yet 'And Your Bird Can Sing" fulfills the mighty "Revolver" in the same way in america.. used to be on the "Yesterday And Today"album)

[@duncanbleak3819]

5. Deep Purple - Perfect Strangers 4. Blue Oyster Cult - Secret Treaties 3. Queensryche - Operation Mindcrime 2. Black Sabbath - Heaven and Hell 1. Thin Lizzy - Chinatown

[@russellgentile4719]

Love that you have Perfect Str. on your list DB -- all other DeepP albums get mentioned but that is right up there with the more familiars. BOC on my list as well.

[@cloudedthoughts909]

Hi Duncan. Exceptional, uncommon, and great pick with Chinatown. Let me know if you want to listen to the 2nd CD of the Deluxe edition with rare, alternate, and live tracks from the Chinatown sessions. Very cool material. 15 tracks as follows: - Don't Play Around - We Will Be Strong [ U.S. Edited Version ] - Sugar Blues [ Live ] - Whiskey In The Jar [ Live ] - Are You Ready [ Live ] - Chinatown [ Live ] - Got To Give It Up [ Live ] - Dear Miss Lonely Hearts[ Live ] - Killer On The Loose [ Live ] - Chinatown [ Edited Version ] - Chinatown [ Sound check ] Don't Play Around-Soundcheck - Sweetheart [ Sound check ] - Didn't I [ Sound check ] - Hey You [ Sound check ] The 2 CD Deluxe Expanded Edition of Heaven And Hell which you probably already have comes highly recommended as well.

[@BlueDragonBot]

@@davehodson6288 Paul Gilbert is one of my all time favorites. Everyone in the band is excellent though. Don’t get me wrong, I love well thought out solos and complex music arrangements, but sometimes I just wanna hear face melting guitar shredding. That album grabs you by the throat and beat the hell outta you for 35 mins straight. Second Heat is equally as face melting.

[@davehodson6288]

I was going to mention second heat and the two live albums that followed all excellent. By the way I actually met Jeff Martin back here in the UK when he drummed for badlands.had a a brief chat about racer x with him

[@BlueDragonBot]

@@davehodson6288 That’s awesome! Jeff was an excellent singer, but he was no slouch on the kit either! Yeah, those two live albums are also excellent. I’ve actually heard that Bruce and Jeff aren’t on speaking terms, so it’s not really a big chance of happening, but I’m hoping that they’ll do at least ONE more reunion album and tour. I’ve never had the chance to see them live and would love to.

I remember back in 1976 when the "Rainbow Rising" album came out how the local record shop had the artwork covering the whole of the front window. Of course I bought it being a Deep Purple and Ritchie Blackmore fan. Bloody hard to think of it being 46 years ago now.

What are some of your favorite Ritchie Blackmore albums that dont have Ian Gillan or Dio(that's all I have)??

[@NorsePJ]

@@integrity101 "Burn" and "Stormbringer" from Deep Purple Mark 3. The "Slaves and Masters" album (with Joe Lynn Turner on vocals) is also quite good musically. And the first three Deep Purple albums with Rod Evans (on vocals) I really like. The album "Burn" is still the best one he's been involved with (IMHO). And "Burn" is my number one pick for Deep Purple. I prefer David Coverdale and Glenn Hughes over Ian Gillan.

Chris Alo is a funny guy (funny how?) I’ve tried to compile a list but I get angry and feel disloyal at the ones I’d have to leave out. Ranging across many genres,Steely Dan,Floyd,Sabbath,Zeppelin,The Stones,The Clash,Thin Lizzy,The Who,Purple,ELO,Motown and Stax,reggae,punk,prog,folk and jazz funk,all of whom have at least one stellar album. An impossible task for me but a seemingly easy one for you guys. Very entertaining and informative,I’ll dig some of these out for sure. Greetings from England (Cornwall)

Need to add my list because you guys covered all the bands but not my favorite albums. My #1 is just like never forgetting your first girl. I borrowed a copy of Purple’s Machine Head in 1980 and still believe it to be the perfect metal album. The rest are simply classics. 1. Deep Purple: Machine Head 2. Boston: Debut 3. Beatles: Abbey Road 4. Rush: Farewell to Kings 5. Black Sabbath: Master of Reality

5.ANGEL-On Earth As It Is In Heaven- I choose this as it was the transition album. It was also my first as I had trouble finding their stuff. This was a white plastic 8 track that NEVER came out of the deck. I LOVE BOTH eras of the band but this was my first! 4.DEEP PURPLE- In Rock- Used copy Summer of 84 in Boston BLOWN AWAY. Played it non stop all Summer. I have a hard time listening to "Child In Time" now but only because I listened to it SOOOO much. Then they REFORMED!! It was meant to be! (I could easily throw in Heeps Demons and Wizards here) 3.STARZ-Violation-While you can say the first is the best, I thought they grew tremendously on this one. It has depth, it has riffs, it has SWAG, its light, its dark and its a Masterpiece. George Orwell, Mind Control, emotional pop. Perfection. 2.AEROSMITH-Rocks-What can you say? Its absolute perfection. The amount of quality songs, the SYNERGY of the band at its peak. "Lick and a Promise', "Sick As A Dog" They were a gang of thieves that became KINGS and collected all the ROCKS found on the cover. The album is so special I cant capture the Mystic quality in words. 1.UFO-Strangers In The night. Listened to the first side and then wrote out the lyrics to every song listening to it over and over. Yes Schenker blew me away! However, it was the lyrics found in songs like "Out In The Street" and "Im A Loser" that hooked me! Emotional, sincere, introspective, and very humanistic and poetic.

[@JohannesYtterstrom]

My Top 5 favorite studio and/or live-albums! 5. Fireball - Deep Purple (1971) "In Rock" was the heavy statement and "Machine Head" was the more perfect and slick album. With that written I find the loose feeling of Fireball very exciting. 4. Live And Dangerous - Thin Lizzy (1978) It's basically a "best of"-album but live and some songs gets a whole new life compared to the studioalbums. 3. Live At Ronnie Scott's - Jeff Beck (2008) To release a live-album about 45 years into your recording career and make it a new highlight is quite something. Most albums like this are nice enough but soon forgotten. For me it's exactly what I would want seeing Jeff Beck live. Which I will again in less than a week! 2. Tubular Bells - Mike Oldfield (1973) Just such a musical journey. This album in the right mood (not unlike Pink Floyds Dark Side of the Moon) is just though to beat. 1. Rocks - Aerosmith (1976) In comparison to the sister album "Toys in the Attic" I find it hard to articulate why I prefer this one. I just do. Like Deep Purples Fireball record there is just a vibe and loose feeling to it that it speaks to me more than other albums that might be more groundbreaking, advanced or deep. I mean.. I could have Moving Pictures, In the Court of the Crimson King, Master of Puppets or Rising here at number one. My hearts says Rocks though.

Sydney, I was at that Dokken/Twisted Sister show in Detroit! Fox Theatre. My best friend and I didn't have any money to eat so we went to the blood clinic across the road from the theatre to get our $17.00 for donating then we ate at the White Castle before the show. The memories are crystal clear even after 35 years.
