It's good to see Pat Metheny on the list. I saw him about five years ago on the Orchestrion tour. I went with my dad and step mother. They were rather disappointed but I actually liked it. He's a great musician and composer.

386. Greatest Hits - Sly & the Family Stone (ReRushed)

 

I'm not one for greatest hits compilations. Albums, as intended, are my preference. But, every so often, there is a greatest hits compilation that is as coherent a listening experience as a proper album. This is one of them. Probably the best of them. At their peak, this band was as good and original as anyone.

384. American Garage - Pat Metheny (ReGorLaTroy)

 

The first jazz album I ever purchased and still love it to this day. In fact, just picked up the SHM version a few months back.

 

My parents took me to see Pat a number of times starting back in 1981 - I went in thinking I was going to be bored, but I loved him ... We saw him in Princeton around '82, and got to meet bassist Steve Rodby - he was super nice, esp considering I was like 14 and firing musical questions at him left and right

27 years after their last great album, the soon to be sextagenarians prove they're not finished.

Is it Country? is it Rock? or is it just good ol' music to make you go hmmmm ya ok I get it, lets have some of that mountain brew and go off into the woods shooting at things. the whole album is good, not just the title song. (I think so anyway)

 

cheers

I was torn between this and Al D's Elegant Gypsy a few selections back .. I went w/ Al, but Romantic Warrior is classic

393. Live In The Air Age - Be Bop Deluxe (Digital Dad)

 

I have 2 other artists I want to introduce to this list and Bill Nelson is one of them. This band only existed for 4 years but they recorded 5 studio and proper live album during its time. Nelson still has a recording career doing it on his own terms and he is still going strong. This album represents the peak of this bands abilities but they had at least one masterpiece in them.

Isn't "Elegant Gypsy" already on the list? I'm pretty sure I saw it somewhere on here.

LOVE IT !!! Not a jazz fan but I am a fan of Pat since the Pat Metheny Group album. Put on song: San Lorenzo on a snowy day and you'll know what I'm talking about.

 

Saw him a few times in small clubs in NYC on the early 80's.

 

Water Colors is a great album too.

394. Underworld- Symphony X

 

Although a new release, this album has quickly proven to be one of my favorites by this band. I believe they found a great balance between their progressive and heavier metal side on this one.

396. MOTT - Mott the Hoople

 

Besides Bowie, we need more glam here. I saw Mott the Hoople at Radio City 73-74(?) and they blew the amps after 30 mins and walked off stage. R&R Yeah !!!

395. All the Best Cowboys Have Chinese Eyes - Pete Townshend (ReGorLaTroy)

 

Some of the best poetry ever put to music in a way that only Pete can do.

 

All of Pete's solos are great but White City is my favorite. Good pick !!!

What I meant was that I was trying to decide between the 2 albums - but went w/ Elegant Gypsy ( ... I'm a big Al D fan )
