Released 3/1/73, three weeks before my 18th birthday. That fall was my freshman year in college. Not a day went by that you could not walk through the halls of the dorm enveloped in the aroma of burning rope and the reverberating crescendos of "Brain Damage."

One of the greatest rock albums of all time, this was essentially a demo tape of a new band produced by Jimmy Page and completed after less than 40 hours in recording studios. Amazing! [First added to this chart: 07/09/2019]

I was a freshman in college in 1973 when this came out. I plugged strings of holiday lights into a "color organ" that lit them up to music. I threaded the lights throughout netting hanging from the ceiling of my 8th floor dorm room. It was quite a sight from the street, the 8th floor light show. Quadrophenia was the best to listen to AND watch that fall. More realistic and less metaphorical than Tommy, with the four personalities of the members of the Who rolled into one character (theoretically.) [First added to this chart: 07/09/2019]

I was born in 1955. I would turn nine in March of 1964, just one month after my two older sisters who screamed uncontrollably at the telly when the Beatles were first on the Ed Sullivan show. I caught the fever. Every time I thought I would have outgrown them, they outgrew me. First came Rubber Soul when I was 10. A few months later came the masterpiece of Revolver, in which classical producer George Martin helped these feisty lads break into new, uncharted ground on the pop music landscape.

I was a 16-year old camp counselor in training, far from home in a primitive forest. I ran a high fever for two days with a horrific bout of tonsillitis. All I could do was lay on a bunk in a cabin with no air conditioning and listen to my records on headphones, sweating and hallucinating. This was one of those records. It is impossible to be objective about the greatness of the music that evokes memories of the pubescence and evolving maturation of eager new ears. [First added to this chart: 07/09/2019]

Your deejay days are long past. You're pointed toward the rear ... CAreer and child REARing. Then this album shows up and bites you on the ass to say, "Wake Up." Get out from under the table, because music is still growing and thriving with or without you. [First added to this chart: 07/09/2019]

Tough to put a "finger" on the Stones' best ever, but this one came at the right time in my life and includes my still, to this day, favorite Stones number, "Can't You Hear Me Knocking." IMO Mick Taylor was the best Stones guitarist, technically at any rate, but his mellow vibe and shy stage persona did not match the menacing bad boy axe-wielding moves of Keith Richards and later, Ron Wood.

here to say I'm jealous that I wasn't in college in 1973 (I was born in '80) and I've always felt I was born in the wrong generation - fabulous list and some that I haven't quite explored yet. I like having people's stories to help walk through them. :) Thanks!

Although there exists an element of the “routine” about this chart, I quite like it. This is because so much of it consists of selections rarely seen on this sort of chart despite my long-term familiarity with them from reading rock criticism so much as two decades ago.

One thing I do very much agree on is that ‘Show Some Emotion’ is not a fraction so well-recognised as it should be.
