Do you own/have you heard?

[Buckeye Randy]

I had not heard but currently listening.

I Feel Alright by Steve Earle

[Trollheart]

Yes! Love all Steve Earle's music. Got into him via Copperhead Road and The Hard Way. Excellent musician.

Holy Diver - Dio

[Buckeye Randy]

Yes! Love all Steve Earle's music. Got into him via Copperhead Road and The Hard Way. Excellent musician.

I never knew what a great musician Steve Earle was until I saw him live.  Great performer.

back to the game..

Holy Diver - Dio

I've heard Holy Diver many times but never bought a copy...though I think I might have a copy.  Fun album back in the day but I must say it hasn't aged well with me.

In Color - Cheap Trick

[Psy-Fi]

In Color - Cheap Trick

Don't have the LP but I did see them play live once. They were the opening act for Blue Öyster Cult when I saw them on their 1978 U.S. tour.

Now that I'm reminded of that show, how about...


On Your Feet or on Your Knees - Blue Öyster Cult

[Lexi of the Dawn]

On Your Feet or on Your Knees - Blue Öyster Cult

Not heard! I love BOC but I'm only familiar with their studio albums.

Motley Crue - Too Fast for Love

[Buckeye Randy]

Do not own, not sure I've ever heard from beginning to end but was certainly aware of this after the band broke.

Transformer by Lou Reed

[Psy-Fi]

Transformer by Lou Reed

Yes. I have a Canadian release on vinyl. Haven't listened to it for years but I played it countless times for several years after I bought it back in the 70's.


London Calling - The Clash

[Trollheart]

Heard it, ie reviewed it once. Was surprisingly disappointed. I expected a total punk classic (not that I'd know about such things) but found a lot of it was filler. Then again, it is a double album, isn't it?

Journey - Escape

[Buckeye Randy]

Journey - Escape

Never owned it and the only songs I know are from the radio.  I don't particularly care for Journey. 

Breakfast in America by Supertramp

[Lisnaholic]

^ Neither owned nor heard that album because (judging by their big hit singles) I was v disappointed with the direction Supertramp took after their beautiful self-titled debut album.

Yes. I have a Canadian release on vinyl. Haven't listened to it for years but I played it countless times for several years after I bought it back in the 70's.

^ Yep, Transformer made a really good impression on me too: some of the tracks were just so out-of-step with other artists at that time, and yet so cool.

How about:-

Roger Waters - Amused To Death

[Trollheart]

Both the Waters and the Supertramp album I own (turning into Yoda here!)

Waters' album is a classic, though he does as usual moan about all the bad things going on in the world. If you enjoyed it, check out his double live In the Flesh, which includes Floyd material from the classic albums too.

Supertramp were a bit strange in the way their first two albums were written, the first as a sort of folk one and the second as a mixture of that and blues, then they hit their stride with Crime of the Century and never looked back really.

So, let's see: Black Sabbath by some band whose name I can't remember?

[Weekender]

I have Paranoid somewhere in my vinyl collection I think. I have listened to the debut tons though it was one of my first "holy shit" moments when I was a wee lad. Strong memory of putting on a pair of headphones in an FYE music store and being blasted across the universe by NIB.

The Vapors - New Clear Days

[Buckeye Randy]

The Vapors - New Clear Days

I never owned it but did hear a few songs other than Turning Japanese on our local college station at the time. There was such a glut of new wavey music at that time.

The Vapors have a really listenable new album and are also doing a summer tour titled, 'Lost 80's Live'.  Included on the tour are Flock Of Seagulls, Big Country and six or seven other bands of that ilk.

Station To Station by David Bowie

[Psy-Fi]

Station To Station by David Bowie

I have all of his late 60's to 1980 albums on vinyl from his debut to "Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps)" but I don't have a copy of that one. I've heard it many times, though.

Oddly enough, out of all of those albums, it would probably be my favorite if I had to choose just one.


Piper at the Gates of Dawn - Pink Floyd

[Lisnaholic]

^ Totally listened to this many times over, but when it came to buying early Floyd, I chose this compilation instead, lured by the chance to get those single releases all together on an album:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Best_of_the_Pink_Floyd

Time for his Bobness to make his entrance into this thread:-

Blood On The Tracks - Bob Dylan
