Favorite sounding/produced albums round one!


Recommended Posts

Gonna break my own rules about double-posting to see if I can speed this list along. We're trying to get to 120!

 

71. Jethro Tull - Aqualung

 

been listening to a lot of Tull today, and none of it drops below an B for production (really we're talking A's for most of them). I'm gonna give this slot to Aqualung though. It's the kind of album that sounds just pristine on speakers or headphones. Maybe the guitar tones are a little dated and the drums a little dry, but the complex arrangements and beautiful sounds are all handled exquisitely to create a sonic journey that perhaps even the musical journey of Thick As A Brick doesn't quite touch.

74. Judas Priest - Sad Wings Of Destiny

 

I swear even Sabbath records never had quite this much steel. Heavy as heck and warm too. Not my all time favorite platter from Priest, but probably their best sounding one.
