My History in Music by dihansse

This is a top 100 chart of my personal musical history via albums in which I try to stick to the adagio of one album per artist. Next to a number of classics I have tried to include some hidden treasures but also some guilty pleasures to which I still stick. This means that I had to leave out some artists that I really appreciate but didn't make this overall top 100: Sorry Rolling Stones (the Beatles were better), sorry Bruce, sorry Jimi, sorry the Who, sorry ELO, sorry the Police and sorry many, many others (but you'll find them in my Decades lists).

I also tried to stick to regular albums but sometimes live albums or eaven Greatest Hits couldn't be avoided. By the way, in my custom charts I also added an alternative top chart which takes a more mathematical view on my personal taste meaning that it is the result of scoring my favorite albums and in this way of course doesn't stick to the one album by artist rule, which means several (more than 2) albums by Beatles, Sebadoh, Sonic Youth, Husker Du, Dinosaur Jr, Pavement, etc.

Of course Eric Clapton is God (dEUS comes later ;)). His guitar playing is excellent and nowhere he does it better on this album with Derek and the Dominoes although the live album "One of the road" is a close match. Nevertheless I chose to include a regular album, not from his solo period and not from his other cooperations with the Yardbirds, Cream ("White Room!!) or Blind Faith.

Layla is obviously the starting point and has always been one of my favorite songs not in the least because of the incredible piano coda. But there are many other standouts like the fantastic false slow song "I looked away" with fantastic lyric guitar playing, "Bell Bottom Blues" and many others.

This is a no-brainer: "Go Your Own Way" is one of my absolute favorite songs and "Don't Stop" is also fantastic and even more important: the rest of the album has no fillers either.

In the beginning I didn't know that this album was all about the relational problems between the group members and at the beginning it was not important, but later on it was a great bonus because this is indeed what this album is about.

When people talk about Crowded House they talk about harmonica singing betweetsters the Australian brothers Finn.
There are many good CDs by Crowded House but this is their best because it just contains so many good songs.
