lzfan715 Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Spinal Tap: Intravenus De Milo The Gospel According To Spinal Tap ("This ponderous, pretentious collection of religious rock songs prompts the question: 'On what day of the week did the Lord create Spinal Tap, and couldn't he have rested on that day too?'") Shark Sandwich , best leap here. No one has said this one yet, Led Zeppelin 1, Led Zeppelin 2, and Led Zeppelin 3. Someone said 3, 4, and HOTH, though.

pimmyjage Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Holy Crap! AND a Max Webster fan too? One of my fave bands, saw them numerous times in the '70's. Sadly they were way ahead of their time, but did have a huge cult following in the UK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam.e138 Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Dang, most of the one's I'd have went for have been mentioned! DEAD KENNEDYS Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables - Punk, brittle guitars Plastic Surgery Disasters - Hardcore Punk, Shiny surf guitars Frankenchrist - Punk with great melodies and great playing which sums up their next and last LP too. U2 War The Unforgettable Fire (Which I dislike intensely) The Joshua Tree JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE Are You Experienced Axis: Bold As Love Electric Ladyland and LZ I, II & III Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xmas Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 NICE ! I would add: Alice Cooper: KILLER SCHOOL'S OUT BILLION DOLLAR BABIES Chicago: THE CHICAGO TRANSIT AUTHORITY CHICAGO CHICAGO III I may disagree on the Chicago.I think they digressed fom CTA,but all 3 are still great albums.

Mattmc1973 Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I would agree with Kaz on Pablo Honey, The Bends, and OK Computer. To me, OK Computer was their apex, then Kid A was a step back (many would not agree, I know, but I think it was too inaccessible and not as cohesive).

Jahfin Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Wilco A.M.>Being There>Summerteeth A slow, logical and natural progression but there's nothing on A.M. that even slightly hints at what would lie ahead on Summerteeth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hm, I don't know; doesn't "Dash 7" sound like it could be on Summerteeth? I'd have to say: The Bends --> Ok Computer --> Kid A I'm sure it's already been said, but these three albums, to me, signify the epitome of progression.

JethroTull Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I might have to go with The Dictators. 1975/Go Girl Crazy - heavy metal comedy album. Nobody got it, especially Epic Records. the bands was dropped from the label. Instant classic. 1977/Manifest Destiny - Great record, but still misunderstood. 1978/Bloodbrothers - The band was playing like their lives/careers depended on it and it did. Manitoba was on lead vocals 100%. Ross the Boss, a heavy metal/punk/rock lead guitar player, later went on to fame with Manowar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hammer of the Gods Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Wilco A.M.>Being There>Summerteeth A slow, logical and natural progression but there's nothing on A.M. that even slightly hints at what would lie ahead on Summerteeth. I'd probably do Being There > Summerteeth > Yankee Hotel Foxtort. With BT, they had a country-rock sound with Exile on Main Street-like influences, then went on to the heavily Beatlesesque Summerteeth, and then finally (IMO), peaked with YHF with a unique sound of their own, yet blending all their influences together to create that sound. It's kind of mindblowing how much they changed within a span of 6 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenman Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 A few bands that progressed exceptionally within 3 albums to me.... Talk Talk The Colour of Spring Spirit of Eden Laughing Stock You could equally go with Its My Life>Colour of Spring>Spirit of Eden, either way I'd say thats one of the most supprizing I'v ever heard. To go from a poor man's(albeit a poor man with slightly better taste ) Duran Duran to pretty much inventing post rock was a massive jump. Two of Hollis's main inspirations were pretty big aswell... Can Monster Movie Soundtracks Tago Mago Miles Davis In A Silent Way Bitches Brew A Tribute to Jack Johnson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Side Bring it all back Home Blonde on Blonde.... Yeah, and one could probably chose another three by Dylan that not already been mentioned by us. Another three albums with great progress are: MC5 Kick Out The Jams Back In The USA High Time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
