3. Etta James, Life Love & The Blues

In my opinion sometimes some of the best albums are not necessarily ones that would stand out commercially, but are so unique and artistic that it actually influences you as an individual.
One such album which you may not may ever have even heard of was
Malcolm McLaren’s: Fans
Prior to this album I knew nothing of Opera and had no interest in it, but the artistic use of classic opera songs with modern music I thought was fantastic. I am still no great lover of Opera, and have never been to one, but I would now know and appreciate some of the more popular and well know songs because of this album.
Therefore, because of the influence, I would have to also rate this one up there.

Over the years the Band Genesis has been one of my favorites as well and I was trying to think that out of all of their albums which one would I have to put in here as a ‘best’?
Then I thought of it.
When I was young I was introduced to Genesis by the album Trick of a Tail, I really liked them, this was followed by Wind and the Wuthering, and I though I was really on to a great new band.
Then they released what was probably one of the best live albums ever made ‘Seconds Out’, this was it, this was the album. Why? It was a double album with sides 1 and 4 being primarily the songs I knew from the above mentioned albums, but side 2 & side 3…. This was not a new band at all.
After hearing this I was thrown into a world of Genesis with Peter Gabriel and went out and bought, Trespass, Nursery Crimes, Selling England by the Pound, The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway.
This then introduced me to the solo work of Peter Gabriel who is just amazing.
Over the years Genesis changed, particularly when Steve Hackett left, they were still good but more commercial. Phil Collins started his own single career, Mike Rutherford became Mike and Mechanics, Tony Banks (who was much of the brains behind their music) also tried a solo career but less successful commercially and also has written theme music for movies. All of them exceptional musicians and provided many years of fantastic music.
So, all of this was because on New Years Eve, at the age of 14, I was home alone listening to the radio and they were playing the top 10 albums of the year and they played Seconds Out.
Then I thought of it.

Greatest All Around Album Of All Time ?
[quote=mikeinie;1162423]After hearing this I was thrown into a world of Genesis with Peter Gabriel and when out and bought, Trespass, Nursery Crimes, Selling England by the Pound, The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway.
I like everything Peter Gabriel has done except the stuff that went mainstream. Id love to see him live.

I saw him in the early 80's and don't know what tour it was. It was the first time I had ever heard the song Swimming.:guitarist

The 3 albums that influenced me the most in my singing and songwriting days were
Bad Company - Bad Company
Detroit Spinners - Detroit Spinners
Hejira - Joni Mitchell
A bit eclectic I guess

Oh, I love that song by Bad Company called Bad Company. Now, I'm singing it in my head.:wah: When it comes on in the car I have to force my kids to listen to it. They think all music is country! Yeah, Eric Clapton is really country? They don't know cr*p about music.

Recently I went to see my boyhood idol Paul Rodgers perform with Queen and they did a rendition of Bad Company. Alright Now was their only other nod to his back catalogue. :guitarist
