Here's a few for me:
Europe '72 - Grateful Dead - so many great great tracks -- the great harmonies and balance and interplay of the instruments was never surpassed - perhaps equaled, but not surpassed.
Dark Side Of The Moon - yes, cliche, but it really WAS new
Sgt Pepper - similar comments. Where would 'rock' songwriting be without this seminal move to embrace everything under the sun and bring it into the same tent.
Soundtrack - The Jimi Hendrix Movie - seeing him play live was way more influential on me than his studio work.
Get Your Ya-Ya's Out - The Rolling Stones - this live album is the best they ever were --- Mick Taylor is by far and away the best lead guitarist they ever had. Ronnie Wood totally pales. I heard Mick T quit largely due to insecurity - unbelievable to me, but go figure.
Travels - Pat Metheny Group - totally mindblowing record for a young guitarist such as myself. Expanding horizons in a new and original direction.
