These 4 were nearly on my list....certainly top 120 for me.
I think of live Dead music as "different" in that they're not really albums, I'm just experiencing experiences. Not sure if that makes sense.
I just listened to it on a walk. Remedy is such a killer song but nothing else really jumped out at me. I liked it all but couldn’t distinguish between one song and another. I like their vibe and style in general though.A fair stance. Just personally for me I find it the most consistent album of theirs after Southern Harmony. I prefer Three Snakes over Amorica, but some could be the album cover for Amorica as well .I'd be curious on your thoughts when you listen. I think you'll dig it. Their other albums are hit and miss for me, but the songs that hit are fantastic. If you like Southern Harmony, my recommendation for you and others is their 2009 albums Before the Frost.... Until the Freeze. It was recorded live and has some great energy to it.I need to check this out. Didn’t realize the whole album was so beloved. I’ve never given Black Crowes a proper listen and this feels like a good place to start.74. The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion – The Black Crowes (309 points)

The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion is the second studio album by American rock band the Black Crowes, released on May 12, 1992. It was the first album by the band to feature Marc Ford on lead guitar, replacing Jeff Cease, who was fired the year before, and the first to feature keyboardist Eddie Harsch. The album's name derives from the full name of the Southern Harmony, an influential 1835 hymnal compiled by William Walker.
Wow, I absolutely love Before the Frost...Until the Freeze, but it would be quite jarring going from Southern Harmony to that. Early Crowes like Southern Harmony is gritty, dirty blues rock. Before the Frost is essentially jamgrass. So I'm not disagreeing with the recommendation. Just want @Ilov80s to know what he would be getting into. Most people would say Amorica is theirsecond best album. That, Shake Your Money Maker, Before the Frost, and Three Snakes and One Charm are all top notch albums and any would be a good follow up.
Actually, for anyone who is checking out the Crowes for the first time, after Southern Harmony I would recommend their most popular live album, Freak n' Roll...Into the Fog. It has all their "hits," and most of it is the hard rock style that is probably most commercially appealing, but it also has an acoustic set and a few numbers where they get into the lengthy Dead-like jams that were really the highlight of their live shows (especially in that era). That version of "My Morning Song" is one of my favorite recordings of any track ever, and that is the band's best lineup as well. My second favorite song off the album.Can't go wrong, and I think people will find a surprising wealth of new songs however they go if they haven't listened to much of the Crowes. I also second the live album recommendation as well. That is the live album of theirs I listen to the most, and love that Morning Song jam The show I was randomly watching this morning started with a killer version of it.
Great slice of early-mid '80s life right here.
That cover of Stevie's "Cause We've Ended As Lovers" with Tal Wilkenfeld ripping the bass. :chefkiss:
So many ways to go for the song choice, but has to be from the Bee Gees. Inclined to go with "How Deep Is Your Love" - my #1 Bee Gees song from the earlier MAD countdown - but open to suggestions from the other voters (and anyone else).71.

Saturday Night Fever is the soundtrack double album (in 2 Long Play records) from the 1977 film Saturday Night Fever starring John Travolta. The soundtrack was released on November 15, 1977 by RSO Records. Prior to the release of Thriller by Michael Jackson, Saturday Night Fever was the best-selling album in music history, and still ranks among the best-selling soundtrack albums worldwide, with sales figures of over 40 million copies.
I'm a long time All Music user for reviews and they have Moneymaker as 4 stars with Southern and Amorica as 4.5 stars.
I am as well even though it wouldn't have made my 70 if I thought of it - not too far off though.

So did my Ratt album get more than 1 vote?
I did not see The Song Remains the Same on there yet. So, I just added.
Added Thorn in My Pride to the playlist.
There was a G-rated version of the Amorica cover that was sold at Walmart and such. I guess that's not what's usually found online.some could be the album cover for Amorica as well .
Listened to Southern Harmony a lot back in the 90s, but it has been awhile. Forgot how good it was.
Well, iTunes at least is all-in on the pube version.There was a G-rated version of the Amorica cover that was sold at Walmart and such. I guess that's not what's usually found online.some could be the album cover for Amorica as well .

If we did this 6 months later, I would have had this and possibly another Little Feat on there. Odd day of albums, because I was just doing more Little Feat listening this morning with The Last Record Album and Time Loves a Hero. I had strongly considered doing them for a MAD31, but didn't think I could do them and Wikkid's love for them justice. They have been one of my recent loves over the last couple years and I've been working on a playlist for them as well for myself. Long story short, I basically added all of Dixie Chicken to the playlist when I went through the other week and that has been my favorite of theirs since giving them an honest try a few years ago. Great band.
Pretty sure the slight age difference added to the divergence of albums voted on, and the Primus fans spread out their votes. I gave the debut a hefty amount of points, but that was the only one on my list.
Surprised a little at the review, but you gave it a listen and that's what this is all about!I just listened to it on a walk. Remedy is such a killer song but nothing else really jumped out at me.

I chose a different one too, and agree that Sinister is great. Their albums probably got split votes.

Marquee Moon is the debut studio album by American rock band Television, released on February 8, 1977, by Elektra Records. In the years leading up to the album, Television had become a prominent act in the New York music scene and generated interest from a number of record labels, eventually signing a record deal with Elektra. The group rehearsed extensively in preparation for Marquee Moon before recording it at A & R Recording in September 1976. It was produced by the band's frontman Tom Verlaine and sound engineer Andy Johns.
We had this on vinyl and wore it out. My pre-tween self loved it. Probably should have considered it. I used to tell the kid next door who was 13 and obsessed with the Beatles that the Bee Gees were better than the Beatles.71.

The fact that I ranked this #8 shows how far my music tastes have evolved in my old age. No way would I have touched this stuff as a kid and probably through my high school years.

The Doors is the debut studio album by the American rock band the Doors, released on January 4, 1967, by Elektra Records. It was recorded in August 1966 at Sunset Sound Recorders, in Hollywood, California, with Paul A. Rothchild serving as producer. The album features the full length version of the band's breakthrough single "Light My Fire" and the lengthy closer "The End" with its Oedipal spoken word section. Various publications, including BBC and Rolling Stone, have named The Doors one of the greatest debut albums of all time.
