Let's show our age!

In college at IU, we would get to Nick's and we would get to drinking and then to playing "Sink the biz", then to singing Johnny Horton.

As long as you agree with the politics.

Pretty much all of Laura Branigan's albums. Heard Gloria on the radio and was hooked. Other than her cover of "the name game" I can't think of any solo song she did that I won't stop to listen to. One of my big regrets was never going to see her perform live when I could. She pretty much retired to take care of her terminally ill husband in the 90s, but was making a comeback in the early 2000s. She was playing a lot of clubs around NY, until she died in her sleep in 2004. That girl could sing!

She could sing for sure.

Although after being in St Louis when the Blues won the Stanley Cup, I don't need to ever hear Gloria again.

What is 'Play Gloria' and how did it become a St. Louis Blues rallying cry?

It was really something. You couldn't go ANYWHERE in that city where that song wasn't playing.

Better not name Metallica's first album in the wrong place. The mob is watching.

• Steppenwolf - Steppenwolf 7 - Nov. 1970
• Spirit -12 Dream of Dr. Sardonicus - 1970
• R.E.O. Speedwagon - T.W.O. - Dec, 1972
• Midnight Oil - Diesel & Dust - Aug 1987
• Concrete Blonde - Free - May, 1989
• Indigo Girls - Indigo Girls - Feb, 1989
• Counting Crows - August & Everything After - Sep, 1993
• Doyle Bramhall I - Bird's-nest On The Ground - 1994

• Johnette Napolitano - Scarred - May, 2007
• The Kills - Blood Pressures - Apr, 2011
• The Black Keys - Brothers - May, 2011

And a few from this century.

Not bad for someone released in 1954.

Okay , so how is it that you folks missed ELO - Out of the Blue and Beatles - Revolver?

Bruce Cockburn's Anything, Anytime, Anywhere.

Though most of Bruce's songs are good, I haven't found an album that I like all the way through. Am pretty fond of Life Short, Call Now.

I personally don't care for either group, so not real familiar with their "albums".

As far as the Beatles go, I always preferred the Animals and Stones and later The Who.

Different music appeals to different people. Also different people have different standards for what is a "great" song. It is a good thing the thread title doesn't say everybody has to agree - 'cause that ain't gonna happen.

True. There are a couple of songs I'm indifferent to. But none so bad that I choose to skip the song. Also, the Anything, Anytime, Anywhere is a greatest hits which is kinda cheating since the best songs were plucked from other albums and stuck together on one album.

Crap, I forgot about Marty. Haven't heard any of his music in 30+ years, but used to live on this stuff.

How about Grass Roots, Gerry and the Pacemakers, James Taylor? There is just too much to pick from.

Though Prince had a couple good things and was innovative, this stuff was probably to new for me and more of my son and daughter's generation.
