Top 50 Greatest Music Albums by FHCA72

My Top-10 and more 40 albums, in order of release. Collections listed last. A different and, perhaps, a surprising list. Some albuns here maybe are controversial, often hated by some traditional fans of the artist, however, are typically more worked albums that the most famous albuns of these artists.
A list without prejudice and chosen with care. Sure very different to many music critics opinions... but, let´s admit it, if musical critics understand music, they would be famous musicians.... hehe....

In the late '60s and early '70s Elvis was quite inspired and in the best voice of his life. This album brings some of his best recordings: "Mary In The Morning", "I´ve Lost You", "Twenty Days And Twenty Nights", "Stranger In The Crowd", "Bridge Over Troubled Water", etc. The only problem is the lack of unity, mixing live and studio recordings, unfortunately, a common thing in the complicated and mishandled Elvis discography in the 70´s. Still, a great and historic album. [First added to this chart: 07/22/2011]

In 1978 the Queen band came up with an more relaxed and unpretentious album. Although without the complexity of previous albums, JAZZ are one of the most enjoyable albuns of the band. "Don´t Stop Me Now", "Leaving Home Ain't Easy" and my favorite "In Only Seven Days", with sweet and beautiful melody, already worth the album. But there's more...

In 1978 Alice Cooper decided to make a record telling his real life at the moment: the fight against alcoholism. With the help of Bernie Taupin (Elton John's lyricist), he produced one of the best albums of his career (in my opinion, THE best).
A first line studio musicians band, a varied, well cared and well arranged repertoire and great lyrics. Even the original vinyl cover is great.

Excellent from beginning to end, BURN brought a new life to Deep Purple, after entry of the new members David Coverdale and Glenn Hughes. Coverdale owns one of the most exciting voices of all time, and their participation is crucial in this album. Ritchie Blackmore is also quite inspired and the bass-drums never sounded so energetic.
For me, this is the more purple sound from Deep Purple and the MkIII is the best line up (I really like Gillan but, sorry, the work of Coverdale here is impeccable and incomparable).
Best songs: "Burn," "Might Just Take Your Life" and "Sail Away". The cover is also noteworthy, very cool.

Some interesting choices. If you like the Warren Haynes era LS, check out a band called Govt. Mule.
