Fun topic...I am, of course, going to have to chin win with the Black Crowes:

 

The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion --> Amorica --> Three Snakes and One Charm

 

 

More to follow. Just want to do some thinking.

I agree with this!

 

I love this band. I had their music going through my mind last night, so I think it's time I started collecting!

I know you're not a particular fan of live material, but I have some shows of theirs that would knock your socks off (erm, if you're wearing any, I guess).

I am blasphemous, I know...but this mostly applies to Rush. I prefer them studio...now this band...live they sound amazing!

 

And Bruce, and Nightwish, and Within Temptation...yeah some bands enthrall me live!

 

But oddly not Rush. So many think I am averse to live music as a whole.

Not the debut???

 

The debut is fantastic, yeah. But I think the combination of albums 2-3-4 is superior to albums 1-2-3.

You had the same typo/mistake. It's PINK FLAG, one of the greatest debut albums of all-time!

 

Side note - have you listened to Nocturnal Koreans? I love it.
