Top 5 Favorite Albums of All-Time (Rock/Rap/R&B etc)

  • downlowdawg said...

    E. 1999 Eternal - Bone Thugs N Harmony

    Another classic.

    It's tough for me when it comes to Stankonia vs. Aquemini but Spottieottiedopaliscious is great enough in & of itself that Aquemini gets the nod.

    Aquemini definitely is their best album. Your list is solid. So is CR's.

    Rock: Allman Brothers - Live at Fillmore East

    I left out live albums because that is another discussion entirely but The Last Waltz is the undisputed GOAT for me when it comes to that.

    2. Is There Anybody Out There? The Wall Live 1980–81 - Pink Floyd
    3. Live Phish Volume 16: 10.31.98 at the Thomas & Mack Center in Vegas (cover the entire Velvet Revolver Loaded album. This set is Phish at their absolute finest IMHO. Ironically, the group later admitted that they could not fully decide on a choice for the 1998 Halloween album so they decided to go with an album that they already knew for the most part.)
    4. Live at Slane Castle - RHCP
    5. Stop Making Sense - Talking Heads

    It's not an official Live Phish volume, but my favorite show is 12/31/93. Best Reba and Harry Hood imo, and Down With Disease > Split Open and Melt is awesome. The show top to bottom is amazing.

    The Allman Brothers--Atlanta International Pop Festival

    I like the setlist on the first disc better than Live at Fillmore East (mainly because of "Dreams"), but think the playing is better at Fillmore East. Both great live albums, though.

    Agree with both statements. Dreams is pheneomenal...just off the chain IMO.

    And the playing at Fillmore is more refined, while the playing at Atlanta is a little more raw and dirty...which I actually prefer

    I agree on both of your sentiments. A Decade of Hits 1969-1979 by The Allman Bros can go toe to toe with any greatest hits collection ever assembled IMHO. Each song segues into the next almost as if it's a great studio album.
