Re: The one that I'll never forget or will get old to me

Some memorable albums are: Kind of Blue- heard it in high school. Miles Davis, Coltrane, Bill Evans, Paul Chambers, I mean come on... Glenn Gould's Goldberg Variations(Bach) He plays the Aria beautifully, and the rest of the variations with precision and vigor. His own humming heard in the recording doesn't bother me. Interesting fellow, Glenn Gould... Beethoven late string quartets, especially the Grosse Fugue Can't remember the performer, but changed the way I thought about classical music. Anything by Clifford Brown and Max Roach I've never heard such a pure tone out of a trumpet. that's what comes to mind now. |

as a younger man I listened to Led Zeppelin IV and Dark Side of the Moon hundreds of times.
I actually had a tape that I would use when riding my bike. LZ IV on one side and Depeche Mode Violator on the other. ....I know rock purists would not agree with that combination. I also listened to a lot of New Order in high school. Technique was the first album I owned. And then I got the older stuff. |

First album I ever got was the Thompson Twins Into the Gap. (I hear they're common-law-married sheep farmers in New Zealand now.) o

Into the Gap is a fun Thompson Twins album. I saw them at Park West in '88 and have to say that it was one of the shows that I've enjoyed more than most. Again, I'm not only one of the originals of the New Wave sound - graduated high school in 1982 - but I'm pretty much stuck in it. Even if mp disapproves. Dark Side of the Moon is a great album, as is The Wall - Comfortably Numb is one of the best songs ever, IMO. And we may as well throw in Frampton. His voice box was great - my kids think he's making his guitar talk. perhaps someday, I'll tell them how he does it. On a side note, I taught myself to play the bass line from John Cougar Mellenkamp's "I Need a Lover" the other day. One of my prouder moments, if I must say.

Then you should try Ashkenazy doing Sergey Rachmonov. It's the greatest easy listening music ever. I agree about Glen Gould/Goldberg Variations and Miles Davis/Kind of Blue. My wife introduced me to the former, which she regards as one of those life changing kind of "albums." For great classical music it's hard to top Murray Perahia doing Bach's piano concertos nos. 3, 5, 6 and 7. Very accessible; good for kids. This past summer I got Wagner's Ring into my blood.
