[Dr. Octopus]

I had Sound & Fury in my top 20

It was on my list but got pushed off - probably should have left it on.

Metamodern Sounds in Country Music - Sturgill Simpson

I had Sound & Fury in my top 20, but suspect I may have been the only one to rank it. Metamodern Sounds was on my original list, but I only found space for 2 Sturgill albums, so it got cut.

I have Sound and Fury 50ish. I also saw it live. It was... er... not so good. Strugill later said something like, "What was I thinking?" I love the studio album. I think he was thinking up some new modern direction that should have spawned creative copycats.

We kind of discussed this in the thread and @KarmaPolice listed some albums (that he didn’t rank) as album suggestions but anyone want to “buddy up” and exchange 5 albums for your partner to listen to and review - while you receive 5 albums back to do that same?

ETA: we can randomly assign “buddies” or pick and choose our buddy.

I’m game

Oh and preferably albums from your Top 70 list to keep the theme of the thread going.

Abbey Road is the eleventh studio album by the English rock band the Beatles, released on 26 September 1969, by Apple Records. It is the last album the group recorded, although Let It Be (1970) was the last album completed before the band's break-up in April 1970. It was mostly recorded in April, July, and August 1969, and topped the record charts in both the United States and the United Kingdom. A double A-side single from the album, "Something" / "Come Together", was released in October, which also topped the charts in the US.

So the Beatles are my #1 but not krista's? What is going on in the universe?

This is everything I want in a record-listening experience. It is beautiful, challenging, passionate, warm, dazzling and diverse. My 14-year-old sees music as background or as a moment-by-moment thing and doesn't have interest in the album format, but this is the one album I've played for him that he appreciates (he particularly likes "Come Together"). I have never tired of it and it is one of the few records I listen to as much now as I did in my younger years.

I'll read the rest of the thread to see if Doc and Rand have weighed in, but to me the only wrong answer for the playlist is Octopus's Garden. Sorry Ringo.

I'd prefer random

Love that idea, and I am game!

Covid canceled the show I was supposed to see and based on what you and others have shared that's probably a good thing. This thing hit those 2 weeks he was in the studio, but couldn't translate it once outside of it.

The Dark Side of the Moon is the eighth studio album by the English rock band Pink Floyd, released on 1 March 1973 by Capitol Records in the US and on 16 March 1973 by Harvest Records in the UK. Developed during live performances before recording began, it was conceived as a concept album that would focus on the pressures faced by the band during their arduous lifestyle, and also deal with the mental health problems of the former band member Syd Barrett, who had departed the group in 1968. New material was recorded in two sessions in 1972 and 1973 at EMI Studios (now Abbey Road Studios) in London.

The best space-out album ever recorded. Squillions of bands -- including some that were on my ballot -- have tried to replicate it, but it remains unique. I listen to Animals more these days, but that takes nothing away from this.

I also like the the idea of random draw.
