[Aristus]

16. "The Getaway" by Chris de Burgh.

*Image of cover art to follow.*

It stimulated my desire to travel to Europe, and serves as a reminder of all the wonderful memories I have of actually being and living there, especially in the late 80’s and early 90’s, when it seemed the world was actually going to get better for a change.

I used to listen to the album on my Walkman while walking along my post’s airfield at night. The music was transporting, and created a love for the magical Europe I had always desired.

Did any of that make sense? I’ll have to re-read that when I’m sober.

“The Getaway”, by Chris de Burgh. Pure magic.

[msongs]

[WheelWalker]

29. That's impossible for me to judge.

Like asking me what my favorite memory, ever, is.

[Zambero]

30. Music From Big Pink

By The Band. In blending so many different musical styles, it virtually generated its own musical sub-genre. Somehow both modern and old-timey.

[pat_k]

31. Tracy Chapman Debut Tracy Chapman

In fall of 1988, at 28 years old, I moved from Seattle to NJ for graduate school at Rutgers. A friend gave me Tracy Chapman's CD as a going away gift. I listened to it so many times on that trip. About the best first album ever.

I love the music I grew up with in the 70's and 80's. So many artists and songs come to mind. Drift Away, Dobie Gray; Life on Mars, Bowie; Alison, Elvis Costello; Bob Marley; Moondance, Van Morrison; Comfortably Numb, Pink Floyd, Delaney and Bonnie, Eric Clapton... too many to name. But it always seemed like there were only a few "favorite" songs on each album. With Tracy Chapman's album, every single song grabbed me.

[HeartsCanHope]

33. Emerson Lake and Palmer --Brain Salad Surgery

I got it from a friend for my birthday (1975) and have loved it ever since. Not my usual taste, (classical and world music,) but I love it!

[LoisB]

34. Listen to the Warm - Rod McKuen

[msongs]

35. I have the sea featuring his words nt

38. I have that one too. Both are equally beautiful. I think The Sea might have a slight advantage now that you

mention it. The Sea was my introduction to Rod McKuen.

Side one
1. "Box of Rain"

Amy Winehouse--Back to Black
Bruce Springsteen--Darkness on the Edge of Town

Last edited Mon Aug 19, 2024, 09:19 AM - Edit history (1)

Who's Next - The Who
Achtung Baby - U2

My five (six) favorites (no order on 2-5):
1) WN & AB
2) Magic - Springsteen
3) Dream of Life - Patti Smith
4) Diesel and Dust - Midnight Oil
5) Structures from Silence - Steve Roach
Instrumental: Title track

As an original Beatlemanic at 11 yrs old, and at their Shea Stadium concerts '6t, '65- I think they end up not at my top list is bc they stopped performing early on.
All these other bands I've seen many times except for The Oils just a few (still great).

I really cherish music, song and live performance! 🎵🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🎶

[Figarosmom]

43. Vanilla fudge

Blood, sweat and tears, Johnnie rivers whiskey a go go, meet the Beatles. Eric burden and the animals and Shawn Phillips do you wonder. I like all the usual zeppelin and stones and doors, Fleetwood Mac, even matchbox 20 or simply red and all the ones that are played all the time on classic rock and so many others. Oh yeah any of Chicago's albums. Emerson lake and pal.er's works, that album in concert at soldiers field with Greg lakes voice carrying in with the wind was so strong on pirates. Then of course wish you were here pink Floyd
