[Dr. Octopus]

I saw them at Giants Stadium opening for Aerosmith with Deep Purple in the middle. They hadn’t really broken that big yet but the crowd on the floor went nuts for them.

Holy **** that had to be one hell of a show.

They billed it as “Three Generations of Metal” although arguably none of them are Metal.

I'd argue that two are, but this isn't a Scoresman countdown.

Maybe deep purple

Aerosmith certainly not. They’re really hit or miss for me. I like older stuff and some of the 90s stuff. They hung on too long. Saw them live once they were ***. Someone barfed I’m a limo

GNR nah - the hardest of rock though

Abraxas is the second studio album by American Latin rock band Santana. It was released on September 23, 1970, by Columbia Records and became the band's first album to top the Billboard 200 in the United States. In 2020, Rolling Stone magazine ranked the album number 334 on its list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time"

@Atomic Punk It's your call for a track to go on the playlist. There are no wrong answers as far as I'm concerned.

@Atomic Punk FYI there's still nothing from this on the playlist.

Please add Hope You’re Feeling Better to the list.

Another amazing run of albums and own all of them … but didn’t rank many. This is why I found this to be one of the most difficult exercises to complete. Any of those I excluded could easily have made my top 50 given a few tweaks in my thought process or just a different head space than what I’ve been in the last few months.

Are You Experienced is the debut studio album by the Jimi Hendrix Experience, released in May 1967. The album was an immediate critical and commercial success, and is widely regarded as one of the greatest albums of all time. It features Jimi Hendrix's innovative approach to songwriting and electric guitar playing, which soon established a new direction in psychedelic and rock music as a whole.

One of the rankers identified this album as "Have You Ever Been Experienced"

Well I have …

I’m not saying this was me but I’m also not not saying it was me.
