Rattled these off in ten minutes. Many more in the wings, hundreds really. There IS a lot of great music being made today, but i'm 55 and everyone knows it's the music of your youth that sustains and continues to amaze you. i wouldn't trade mine for yours. Leon Russell! Hot Tuna! Humble Pie! Wild Man Fischer! Passport! Count Five! Norman Greenbaum! The Shins! The The! The Swimming Pool Qs! Throbbing Gristle! The Residents! The Legendary Stardust Cowboy! on and on forever.......

Actually I HAVE listened to them before, but not with that particular plan of listening. Maybe I'll give them another try. At the moment, though, my opinion is that they're not #1 and #2 album material (not that they're not good albums.)

Well I can't say I'm 55... Or even out of high school... And I'm appalled by your top two choices... But did I see jethro tull? Deep purple Machine head? Yes Close to edge? AWESOME! A very good selection and balance of some very good albums.

A bit..."predictable", might be the word, but still, this is very, very high quality.

Now that's a list I can sink my teeth into. Nary a clunker in the lot. Well maybe JC Superstar. A rare oasis in good taste compared to the drivel some people consider good music. Bravo!
