For the 2nd evening in a row a SoT video made me think of what I was thinking of earlier. I won’t go into 5 albums, just 1. I 1st started really listening to music around ’68. I was very impressed with Folk Rock, so that’s the deep musical roots for me. In the late 80s I was very into Roots Rock which largely can be seen as really rocking Folk Rock. One album really stood out, The Brandos, Honor Among Thieves. I loved that album. I waited for the group to follow it up. To my disappointment they didn’t. I later learnt they finally put out another album 5 years later, & had a few albums after that. Nothing that compares their 1st album. This morning I listened to Honor Among Thieves, & experienced the love again. These days I mostly listen to Space Rock & Metal. If I could find a Space Rock or Metal band that plays in a Hard Folk Rock manner like what’s on Honor Among Thieves, I’d be in heaven. That’s music that defines where I want to go with music. PS. unlike Ken, Sun Ra is my Jazz go-to man.
Great episode guys . It's very interesting to hear your stories and musical background.
1- iron maiden - seventh son of the seven sun
2 - the tea party - the edges of twilight
3 -riverside - out of myself
4 - pink floyd- wish you were here
5 - dream theater - images and word
In chronological order of when I listened for the first time:
1) Def Leppard - Pyromania I listened to pop as a kid until I heard this record in 1983.
2) Rush - Moving Pictures Listened to this at a teammate's house in 9th grade with two other teammates. Changed my life forever. Side note: I found out two decades later that teammate became a gay porn star as an adult. Yikes!
3) Joe Satriani - Surfing with the Alien Got this cassette from a black college teammate. Another listen that changed my life forever. This led to Eric Johnson, Gary Hoey, Tony McAlpine, Steve Vai, etc.
4) Dream Theater - Images and Words This masterpiece led me to my favorite band and to progressive metal.
5) Pagan's Mind - Celestial Entrance - heard these guys in 2015 on Pandora of all things. This led to the other PM albums and to explore European metal on TH-cam. Now I love Nightwish, Jorn Lande, Anubis Gate, Kamelot (not European but ..), Vanden Plas, Lacuna Coil, etc.
Moving Pictures - Rush
Rubber Soul - The Beatles
Boston - Boston
A Day at the Races - Queen

HM:

5. Saga Silent Knight
4. Lynyrd Skynyrd : Pronounced 'Lĕh-'nérd 'Skin-'nérd
3: Uriah Heep: Demons and Wizards
2. Kansas: Song for America
1. Yes: Close to the Edge
I listen to a lot of other music, in 1966 my uncle gave me Pet Sounds and the first album I bought myself was Procul Harum A Whiter Shade of Pale. I still love the early Bee Gees and Odessa is one of my favorite albums. I believe growing up with a mother that was an opera singer influenced my music taste.
Loved this and, like so much on SoT, it took me back to the time in my life when I was first discovering the music I still love to this day. A pure nostalgia trip. I can smell the old albums (and associated herbal products) as I type. All of these albums were a gateway to a different genre for me and I can remember exactly where I was when I first heard them...
Dark Side of the Moon - Floyd
Led Zep II
Hall of the Mountain Grill - Hawkwind
Flat Baroque and Berserk - Roy Harper
Blue Train - John Coltrane
Yes- Close...
Rush- Permanent...
The Who- Quadrophenia
AC/DC- If You Want Blood...
Grateful Dead - Any and all live releases!('69, '74, especially)😊
ALL 5 stars, including '69 with Tom Constanten and '74 with Ned Lagin!
1. David Bowie: Aladin Sane (first album I bought)
2. Elton John: Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (Mind Blowing)
3. Frank Zappa: One Size Fits All (been a Zappa fan from the moment I heard this)
4. Status Quo: Hello (My brother made me buy it, but I loved it)
5. Ted Nugent: Free For All (Again: mind blowing)
Rush Archives, Black Sabbath Master of Reality, Miles Davis Kinda Blue, Chicago Transit Authority, Opeth Blackwater Park. Enjoyed the discussion on live Kinks, I saw them during that era in 1981 in Toronto and to this day I've never seen anyone just hammering the crap out of the drum kit like Mick Avory, man that was awesome!
1. Chicago Transit Authority
2. Aqualung
3. Close to the Edge
4. Wish You Were Here
5. Romantic Warrior and Red- I'm cheating. There are many non prog albums, but I just stuck with the genre
1) Guns n' Roses - Use You Illusion 2
The most important album for me, since the song 'You Could Be Mine' was my musical awakening and opened my eyes for hard rock.
2) AC/DC - Highway to Hell
3) Metallica - Master of Puppets
4) Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath
5) Iron Maiden - The Number of the Beast
There are tons of other albums, that was a part of forming my taste of music.
Judas Priest - British Steel, King Diamond - Fatal Portrait, Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin 4, Megadeth - Peace Sells...
And many more.
Deicide - Once Upon the Cross opened my ears for death metal
Darkthrone - Transylvanian Hunger did the same for me with black metal
Yes - Close to the Edge and Rush - 2112 was important for me, when it comes to prog.
And I could keep going.
Thanks for another great episode.
Great topic Pete & co!
This might be a bit random, but would you guys/Chad consider doing a video (or two) discussing how NEARfest came about, your favorite acts, etc? Apologies if something like that is already out there, I have not come across it.
There are two ways to approach this question.
Albums that defineD my musical tastes. That is the first albums that introduced me, for the first time, to a particular genre or band that is now important to me:
Black Sabbath - Paranoid
Helloween - The Keeper of the 7th keys (I or II, you choose)
Rick Wakeman - King Arthur (the myths and legends and all that)
Death - Individual Thought Patterns
Iron Maiden - The Number of the Beast
Then there is albums that define (now) my musical tastes. That is a selection of 5 albums that I would hand over to somebody to have a sample of what I like to listen to:
Black Sabbath - Heaven & Hell
Dream Theater - Images & Words
Death - Human
King Crimson - The Night Watch
Isis - Panopticon
These cover my general directions in music: classic heavy metal & hard rock, prog rock, prog metal, extreme metal (possibly with a hint of prog), and post-metal/post-rock/sludge and whatnot
My top five
1) Deep Purple - Purple Passages (MKI comp)- Led me to the heavy bands Zeppelin, Black Sabbath ,Uriah Heep
2) Chicago-CTA - Led me to jazz
3) Lighthouse-One Fine Morning( first concert 1974) Led me to Jazz Rock Blood Sweat and Tears, Jeff Beck,JLP
4)Yes-Fragile - led me to prog Genesis, ELP and Tull
5)Rush- 2112 - Changed everything pretty much invented progressive metal and Neal fuking Peart.#2 and 3 are interchangeable .
1 Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
2 Rush 2112
3 Close to the Edge
4 Demons and Wizards
5 Awaken the Guardian
I commented on the HVS video and I'm willing to bet some of these choices are different
Opeth - Blackwater Park
ELO - Discovery
Ratt - Out of the Cellar
Rush - Exit...Stage Left
Pink Floyd - The Wall
There are a lot that would easily define my tastes in music
Genesis - Foxtrot
The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
Pink Floyd - The Wall
Marrilion - Misplaced Childhood
Peter Gabriel - Peter Gabriel 3 (Melt)
I owned that Stanley Jordan album on vinyl as well. Totally forgot about him.
I have the vinyl & the cd...recently, I picked up his debut, MAGIC TOUCH on LP.
Saw Jordan, unbelievably, at the Va Beach Oceanfront/Boardwalk in the early '90s. I couldn't believe it! Anyway, the 1st tunes I'm sitting there, jaw dropped (technique was off the charts). Eventually, just settled in & enjoyed the music.
Best covers of Hendrix, Shankar, & "Stairway To Heaven" I have ever heard.
Ooops...Jordan's 1st album is TOUCH SENSITIVE.
I listed my five on the HVS episode's comments section. They were:
Low - David Bowie
Megatron Man - Patrick Cowley
Fantastic Planet OST - Alain Goraguer
Space Museum - Solid Space
A Bell Is A Cup Until It Is Struck - Wire
If I cannot list those five, I would list:
Taking Tiger Mountain - Brian Eno
Epic Garden Music - Sad Lovers & Giants
Cybotron - Cybotron
Neurovision - Telex
Durch die Wüste - Hans-Joachim Roedelius
1.T he Beatles-Sgt Peppers
2.The Doors-Self Titled
3.Yes-CTTE
4.Uriah Heep-Look At Yourself
5,Led Zeppelin-Self Titled
Honoable Mention-Jethro Tull-Aqualung,Cream-Disreali Gears,Hendrix-Are You Experienced,The Who-Tommy
These are all CLASSICS! The only one I didn't have on LP was Uriah Heep. This is the closest to my choices than any I've seen! Cool!
I was living in my _Deep Purple/Led Zeppelin_ world when my neighbor showed me a cassette with _ELP Pictures_ on side A and _Wakeman Journey_ on B. And this was my way into prog.
Later on I discovered _Yes, Genesis_ and after a while _Gentle Giant_ that became my favorite band.
At some point I stumbled over _Van der Graaf H To He_ but I was not ready for this kind of music then. After some years I listened to _Pawn Hearts_ and it became my favorite VgG.
_Mahavishnu_ led me into fusion territory: _Corea, Hancock, Weather Report,_ even _Metheny._
The playing of _Allan Holdsworth_ on_Soft Machine’s Bundles_ shocked me at the time. And even more when I saw Allan live two times during his solo career.
Fusion led me into jazz. And I would like to mention the ECM branch with artists like: _Keith Jarrett, Eberhard Weber, Jan Garbarek, Oregon, Gary Burton, Pierre Favre, Mike Mainieri, Steve Swallow._
The first Zappa albums I’ve heard were _Waka/Jawaka_ and _Grand Wazoo._ I had to recalibrate my ears for stuff like _Joe’s Garage_ and _One Size Fits All._ My favorite Zappa album is _Sleep Dirt_ and I like stuff with more “statistical density” like _Studio Tan._
An honourable mention to Vangelis. After a while I started to enjoy his soft side.
I have two feel-good albums: _Steve Hacket Spectral Mornings_ and _Focus Hamburger Concerto._
@Ken - I have the _Air_ discography in digital format.
Deep Purple-Machine Head
Black Sabbath-Master of Reality
Alice Cooper-Killer
Aerosmith-Get Your Wings
Led Zeppelin-Physical Graffitti
anytime!
Kansas: Song For America
Supertramp: Crime Of The Century
Dave Brubeck: Take Five
Paul McCartney/Wings: Venus And Mars
Billy Joel: The Stranger
For me it’s
Robert Johnson- king of the delta blues vol.1
Camel mirage
Glen miller- the best of 1938-1942
Kiss- gold
Dream Theater - Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory
Totally agree with Chad and plenty others about Rush. I was absolutely completely blown out of water hearing (and seeing) Exit: Stage Left. The vibe that Lifeson creates is sublime.
After watching both episodes featuring this topic I’m gonna state:
1. Pink Floyd the wall, this is an album from my dads music, also my prog gateway
2. Bad religion no album in particular,
3. Rage against the Machine no album in particular, they only have 3
4. GNR Illusions 2 this was my first heavy metal album (arguably)
5. I have to through a random one here, Presidents of the United States self-title.
I listen to a lot of Rock talented music from blues to extreme metal, but I like my music to have melody
Areosmith - Draw The Line
The Doors - The Doors
Moody Blues - In Search of the Lost Chord
Pink Floyd - Animals
Yes - Yessongs
I could easily expand this list to 10 or 15...
Yay! Ken mentioned Earthless! HEAVY Psych!
Was having a nuclear blast at a night parade and my face Completely melted!
Nick Drake: Pink Moon
Alice In Chains: Dirt
System of a Down: Toxicity
Alan Parsons Project: Tales of Mystery and Imagination - Edgar Allan Poe
Opeth: Blackwater Park
Chronologically, starting circa 1973:
CHICAGO - Chicago II.............................led me to jazz-rock
DEEP PURPLE - Made in Japan..............led me down many paths of hard rock and onwards to various metal genres
ISAAC HAYES - Shaft Motion Picture Soundtrack.................led me to funk-rock
PINK FLOYD - Animals..................................................opened my ears to prog-rock
AL DI MEOLA - Casino..............................led me deep into guitar-led fusion and onto other forms of jazz
i own three of those...
@@independenceltd. I'm thinking Chicago, Purple and Floyd, right? As for the Shaft soundtrack, that ultimately led me to Funkadelic, Mother's Finest, Living Colour, and a few others. And Al Di Meola.....he was here last week in fact, went to see him play. He did his "Electric Years" set. Blisteringly fast, precise guitarist with a rock edge to his playing. You heard any of his stuff?
@@garyh.238 yes, those are the 3. i've heard di meola and even contemplated going to see him, but it's never worked out.
@@independenceltd. His Electric Years show was great. Heard almost everything I wanted to hear him play in it. He's touring the southwest in early October, but might be too far for you to travel......dates are in Santa Fe, Tucson, Phoenix and Vegas; then it's on to California.
@@garyh.238 oh yeah, that's a little far. he used to show up in DFW pretty regularly.
Great Picks George!!!
Thanks Drew!
David Axelrod - Songs of Experience
Scott Walker - 4
Gary McFarland - America The Beautiful (An Account Of Its Disappearance)
Marko Brecelj - Cocktail
Steely Dan - The Royal Scam
Dude, Luis is such an enigma. If he wrote a biography I would read it.
The records that led me to my three big preferences in terms of genres in music. In chronological order:
ELP - Pictures at an Exhibition
Yes - Yessongs
Patti Smith Group - Radio Ethiopia
The Clash - London Calling
John Coltrane - Blue Train
Went to see Ray Davies doing a history of The Kinks Q&A back in the day, plus he played a interspersed acoustic set 2 hour show.
Amazing
Was that for his X-Ray book ? I saw that as well and it was phenomenal
Tbh I think it was can't remember the year
That Rick.Wakeman album is a bit of a comedy album itself, no ?
1. Bowie - Diamond Dogs. The cover drew me in at a young age.
2. Genesis - And Then There Were Three. I had seen Seconds Out before that but again, the cover was so imtriguing.
3. Kate Bush. Listened to The Kick Inside repeatedly and led me on to other female artists; Joan Armatrading, Rickie Lee Jones, Joni Mitchell.
4 Thin Lizzy - Johnny The Fox - the first album i bought. Still a firm favourite
5 Japan - Quiet Life (then on to David Sylvian solo).
HMs the Stranglers, Televison, Patti Smith, Iggy Pop, Lou Reed (some of it), and for a love of good pop music Kid Creole & The Coconuts. Tropical Gangsters is a fantastic album.... ooh and Fleetwood Mac, especially Tusk.
Great episode, love the Kinks pick, for the Record, Jimmy Page did not play the solo on All day and all of the night on the original single, definitely all Dave Davies.
I whole heartedly agree with that pick. The Kinks were so important to not only rock but metal, Punk, New wave, etc. A great band
I was 14 in 1978 and my parents got me a rubbish record player for Christmas and an LP Tonic For The Troops by Boomtown Rats that was my gateway into rock, so from there I got into The Sex Pistols and then Queen Live Killers came out in 1979 and it blew me away. So my friend in 1979 got a cassette with In Rock on one side and Fireball on the other from Deep Purple and that was the game changer.
So then we all got into Zeppelin etc, but I was the one who took a chance on Yes and ELP and loved them, whereas the others didn't like them, I really started to delve into prog from then on and to this day I love almost all prog except Genesis and Gentle Giant I could never get into them for some strange reason and still can't.

Really hard to choose five….as someone who came up playing bass, I can focus on these albums to define my tastes: Zeppelin II, Sabbath Vol. IV, Disraeli Gears, Heavy Weather, Tutu. Then Mingus Ah Um, Dave Holland’s Conference of the Birds, Ornette’s Shape of Jazz to Come.
From my childhood, I’d echo Kiss Alive as my Gateway, then Axis Bold as Love, Bless It’s Pointed Little Head, Live Dead, ….Chick Corea Elektric Band.
What do I listen to these days, mainly? Five albums: Snarky Puppy Family Dinner, Ghost Rhythms, Live at Yoshiwara, Holdsworth live albums-esp. All Night Wrong, and Contemporary jazz from Thomas Fuijiwara, Ches Smith, Mark Dresser, anything with Tom Rainey on drums, Mary Halvorsen……
kiss alive started it for me but in 78 I discovered queens news of the world and styx pieces of eight both these caused me to branch out into prog with rush permanent waves and the the heaviness drove me to heaven and hell. but now atomic rooster drove me to an interest in psychodelic music and more quirky outlying prog from gentle giants acquiring the taste

Genesis- trick of the tail
The who- who’s next
Honorary mention- rush- moving pictures
Led zeppelin- physical graphiti
Carole King "crap"? How dare you, Mr. Golden?! One of the greatest songwriters ever.
I heard Tapestry so many times at age 14 I couldn’t take it any more. Of course years later I learned to appreciate Ms. King and her music. Quite a career.
@@lasercd7851 I have only an 1cd compilation of her solo stuff, plus numerous of her '60s compositions (w/ Gerry Goffin, mostly for other artists) scattered on all kinds of albums. So, it's not like I'm a hardcore fan either, but still the word 'crap' isn't the first one that comes to mind when thinking about her music. Well, Tapestry was massive in the early '70s and had numerous (radio) hits, so I guess it's understandable if you got sick of hearing it. I wasn't around yet and not even American, so I was saved from such 'overexposure'.
TAPESTRY is a Pop masterpiece, IMO.

I agree with Luis Kiss are utter tosh and I saw them live at Download Rammsteine blew them away that year .
what yr was that?
@@independenceltd. oh wait that was year after Kiss were 2015 Rammsteine were 2016 but yeah Kss worst ever headliner and even Muse are better .
Robin Trower is not a great guitar player and he's prerry forgotten for a reason. At least in Europe. He's never mentioned as one of the most important guitar players. He wasn't original. Typical blues rock guitarist. Nothing interesting in his playing.
More ridiculous commentary from you.
Nothing interesting in any of your posts either.
The Beatles started me off with The White Album. Next phase started with Zeppelin 3. Next phase started with Kansas Song For America. Next phase started with David Sanborn Hideaway. Finally, Dream Theater.
