    GREAT off season thread @CalcoTiger

    like @red55 when you have so much music and your taste span so many genres it is not easy to settle on just one. The early leaders are
    Alice in Chains "unplugged" and Matchbox 20 - yourself or someone like you

    I will round out the top 5 shortly.

    @lsutiga is right, gotta go with Hank Jr's Greatest hits volume 1. Too many good memories with that one but I really don't like listing a GH title in this sort of list. That said, it's in there.

    I know on the GH but man I keep the Hank Jr and the Brooks and Dunn greatest hits in my car and crossing the bridge ( San Mateo )sitting in traffic coming and going has made the time go by so much easier. I could be a member of the groups I know the words so well.

    That said, the AIC unplugged is basically a greatest hits as well but it's so damned good.

    The MB20 I listed was because Rob Thomas seemed to be in such a dark place when he wrote a lot of those songs. I've not seen/heard him be that good since.

    Still thinking of what else I can put in rarified air. I love Boston and that album is great but my problem with them is one Boston song is all Boston songs.

    That's because no dope smoker would in their right mind chose Back in Black over ANYTHING Bon Scott.

    Nat King Cole. After Midnight
    Stevie Ray Vaughn. Texas Flood
    Zeppelin. Houses of the Holy
    Carrol King, Tapestry
    Pantera, Vugar Display of Power

    This is impossible. I still listen to Bob Marley's Rebel Music a lot as well as Uprising and Exodus. SRV's Texas Flood and the Allman Brothers Live at Fillmore East. And I don't even know where to start with Grateful Dead. How about Workingman's Dead, American Beauty and Europe 73. Neil Young's After the Goldrush.

    Bengal B Were you raised by pot growers? LOL

    Those groups you have to be stoned to really appreciate. My wifes granddad is buried 2 over and 1 down from the Grateful Dead PIGPEN. There is always weird stuff on his grave when we take her mother out to see her dad. I always check it out. There has been panties and pipe paraphanalia and harmonica's and lots of change.. The remaining members will perform before SF Giants games sometimes.

    I saw SRV and Carlos Santana on consecutive nights in the eighties in Dallas at the Starplex Ampitheatre. I was so wasted leaving I tripped over my lawn chair and rolled down the hill with my friends all laughing at me. There were stickers and when I woke up the next morning my legs were scratched and bleeding and I had briars all over me. Straight tequila will sneak up on ya.

    Pretty amazing no one has mentioned Rolling Stones. If you're gonna include GH albums in the list 40 Licks is hard to beat.
