There's really no way to pick 1 album or song. I'll try to go with a handful

Caress of Steel/The Necromancer
A Farewell to Kings/Xanadu + Cygnus X-1
Permanent Waves/Natural Science
Signals/Subdivisions
Grace Under Pressure/Between the Wheels
Presto/Available Light
Snakes & Arrows/Armor & Sword
Clockwork Angels/Clockwork Angels

so many more I want to list. Fuck this thread.


let me try the Rush game:

Fly By Night - By-Tor
Caress - Bastille Day
2112 - 2112
Farewell - Cygnus
Hemispheres - Circumstances
Waves - entre nous
Moving Pictures - Witch Hunt!!!
Signals - The Weapon!!
Grace - (all of it!) The Enemy Within (see a trend?)
Power Windows - Marathon
HYF - Turn The Page
(skip a few)
Counterparts - Between The Sun & Moon
S&A - Workin Them Angels
Clockwork - Headlong Flight

phew
This is kind of a revolving door for me. Currently

Flaming Lips- The Soft Bulletin- Feeling Yourself Disintegrate

And I gotta add a second, I'd call them my favorite of the past year or slightly longer

The Amazing- Gentle Stream- Gentle Stream

If Nick Drake played in a full band that featured 3 incredibly talented guitarists it would've sounded like the folk-psych progg awesomeness that is The Amazing.

That's such an unorthodox opening chord for what's probably dismissed as a dated, conventional pop song these days. An F9 chord, with the bass playing a D?

Soul to squeeze wasn't on mother's milk. at least I don't think so. I think it came out much later, like after Blood sugar sex magic.

Not really unorthodox at all. Harrison said he played an F add 9 (not F9). With a D in the bass, it's a D-11 (without the 9th). Maybe that's not so common in a pop song, but minor 11th chords were around way before The Beatles.

For me it's either:
Dylan: Tangled Up In Blue, Simple Twist of Fate, and You're a Big Girl Now

or

Janes Addiction: Been Caught Stealing, Three Days, and Then She Did, which is actually part of an awesome 1-2-3-4 punch if you also count Obvious.

but hard to beat:
Rudie Can't Fail
Lost in the Supermarket
Death or Glory
Train in Vain

not to mention London Calling, Clampdown, Spanish Bombs, Revolution Rock, etc. London Calling is probably the greatest album ever made.

second best is probably:

Bruce Springteen: Born to Run: cover to cover: Thunder Road, Tenth Avenue Freeze Out, Night, Backstreets, Born to Run, She's the one, Meeting Across the River, Jungleland

Some other trifectas:

Rush Moving Pictures: Tom Sawyer, Red Barchetta, Limelight


Pavement crooked rain, crooked rain: Cut Your Hair, Gold Soundz, Range Life

and many more...

Heh, I used to listen to them when I was a lot younger.. I've never even heard that album though. I fell off after Follow the Leader.

I loved the S/T album and Life is Peachy when I was in HS though.

It's also on his compilation Around the Well. Great mix of his early stripped down, sparse work and his more recent full band stuff. Sam Beam just might be the best songwriter of this generation. It's like Southern Gothic lit put to music.
