229. Low Spark of High Heeled Boys - Traffic (Custom55)

230. Moving Waves - Focus (New World Man)

 

231. Crime of the Century - Supertramp (goose)

Every Supertramp album is perfectly recorded and could make this list based on production alone, but their 1974 release has to be the strongest song-wise, beginning to end. School, Bloody Well Right, Hide in Your Shell, Dreamer, Rudy, and the title track are all classics. Edited October 7, 2015 by goose

Never heard of this band!

Pretty well-known song.

[The Cat 3]

232. Rainy Day Music - The Jayhawks (ReGorLaTroy)

 

Just a fantastic alt-country rock band that would be rock legends if they started recording 20 years earlier.

Edited October 7, 2015 by ReGorLaTroy

[New_World_Man]

They were a Dutch band and are actually still around. They were mostly instrumental. Go put in "Hocus Pocus by Focus" and get ready to have your socks knocked off. Jan Akkerman could shred on guitar before people even started using that term.

229. Low Spark of High Heeled Boys - Traffic

 

Not a bad song on this classic album. In my top 10 favorites.

 

Custom, I had forgotten all about that album. You're right. Not a bad song on it. Traffic was great.

[New_World_Man]

I like both Low Spark and Barleycorn. I have Low Spark somewhere. I bought it not that long ago. I'll have to play it again.

[Self-Indulgence]

Last Exit is also a nice one. I own that and Traffic Live.

[Narps]

232. Rainy Day Music - The Jayhawks (ReGorLaTroy)

 

Just a fantastic alt-country rock band that would be rock legends if they started recording 20 years earlier.

233. Rock & Roll Machine - Triumph (H.R Narp N Stuff)

About time to get these boys into the action. I realize they were famous for a few minutes in the U S with Just A Game but I prefer this one. I will never forget buying this and giving it the first spin not knowing a damn thing except for like Budgie and some other band we all know, just a 3 piece. Their sound blew me away on the first play....

237. Leviathan - Mastodon (Stormtron)

 

Yall knew I was gonna post this eventually. Not as progressive as the albums that came after it, but still my favorite. So cohesive, so crushing. The water theme is appropriate because it feels like getting pummeled by a tidal wave. White whale! Holy grail!

238. The Best of Leonard Cohen -- Leonard Cohen (Rutlefan)

 

Compiling the highlights from his first four albums, this is the essential L. Cohen if, like me, you don't appreciate nearly so much his later work. The album opens with Suzanne, Sisters of Mercy, So Long Marianne, and Bird on the Wire; that says it all really, the rest is all the more icing on the cake.

Great album...saw them on the MP tour, and they were fantastic. Just hangin out at Lake Louise and enjoying this classic.

[Rutlefan]

They were a Dutch band and are actually still around. They were mostly instrumental. Go put in "Hocus Pocus by Focus" and get ready to have your socks knocked off. Jan Akkerman could shred on guitar before people even started using that term.

 

When I was a little kid in the '70s I loved to say, "Hocus Pocus ... by... FOCUS!" Memories. Just thought I'd share.

A little surprised these guys haven't made the list yet. I selected this release as an album because it completely enveloped me upon my first listen. Moody and melodious, a fine addition to the list.
