1.LED ZEPPILIN II-Black Dog,Whole Lotta Love were jammin!
2.ELECTRIC LADYLAND-Jimi Hendrix
3.PINK FLYOD-WISH YOU WERE HERE-I usta listen to this in my basement room with headphones after smoking some killer Redbud!
4.ROCKS-Aerosmith-'Nobody's Fault my favorite off this-I saw Aerosmith in concert in 1977!!!
5.PARANOID-Black Sabbath
6.STEPPENWOLF 4
7.ALICE COOPER-Love it to Death-The Ballad of Dwight Frye...Alice was like me!!! a Horror Geek!
8.PHISICAL GRAFFITTI-Led Zeppilin
9.BROTHERS and SISTERS-Allman Bros.-Great make-out music.

My top 10 in my teens:

1) King Diamond-Abigail
2) Slayer-South of Heaven
3) Mercyful Fate-Time
4) Alice Cooper-Welcome to my Nightmare
5) Alice Cooper Goes to Hell
6) King Diamond-Give Me Your Soul...Please
7) Thergothon-Stream From the Heavens
8) Slayer-Reign in Blood
9) Metallica-Metallica
10) Slayer-Divine Intervention

Rev. Powell

Hmm, a blast from the past.  I'll try to guess what I would have listed in 1986:

The Beatles, The White Album
The Beatles, 1967-1970 ("The Blue Album")
Pink Floyd, The Wall
Pink Floyd, Wish You Were Here
Pink Floyd, Dark Side of the Moon
Led Zeppelin, I
Led Zeppelin, IV
King Crimson, In the Court of the Crimson King
David Bowie, Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars
The Moody Blues, Days of Future Passed

I'd listen to most of those again, though I burned myself out on "The Wall" and "Stairway to Heaven."  I still own the Beatles albums and Led Zep I.
I'll take you places the hand of man has not yet set foot...

I tried to limit it to stuff I would have actually picked as a teenager. A lot of the above I would still pick today as great albums, others have lost their charm for me.

I was a teen? Seems like a million years ago.  From my teens into my 20's and 30's I loved a mix of all kinds of music. I'm terrible at remembering album names ...  So, I'll give you a rundown of who and what I liked.

Anything by the Beatles
Rolling Stones
Carole King
The Who
Simon and Garfunkel
Eric Clapton (Cream)
Journey
Styx
The Eagles
Chicago
Little River Band
Crosby, Stills, and Nash

Too name a few ...

Hold onto your dreams ....

In 1969 I was seven years old. We lived in Marlboro NY. My Ma took off for 3 days to see Woodstock.
She came back and slept for the whole day. When she was gone a black woman and her drunk boyfreind babysitted us...and let us watch CHILLER THEATER! Where we saw 2 ON A GUILLITINE.
Good times.  :smile:
A week later we were in an orphange.

You connect to my generation - yours - in unexpected ways.  Your life experience makes me think... things like, was I lucky?  I love ya Ron Merchant

The records I listed I think were the first 10 or so that I either bought or received as a gift.  Man I loved my records back in the day.  I ended up having a lot and basically gave most of them away.   :bluesad:  I has at least a 100 or so left.   :smile:

Great list, I feel.  Outside of the Zeppelin, but that's neither here nor there. :thumbup:
