1. David Bowie - The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars
2. Neil Young - Harvest
3. Nick Drake - Pink Moon

Ziggy Stardust is definitively one of the best rock n roll albums ever made. Bowie brought so many different vibes into that album. It's punk, glam, heavy, poppy. Love everything about it. It's so damn good from start to finish. I have a $200 audiophile version of it on vinyl and am so grateful it was passed down to me through family. It really sings!

Harvest is one of Neil's best and Pink Moon is just so damn beautiful and iconic. Nick Drake's story is so sad, but almost redemptive in a way that he was able to get the recognition he so well deserved after his passing.

Best singles-
Let's Stay Together - Al Green
One of my all-time favorite songs.
Lean on Me - Bill Withers
American Pie - Don McLean (this song usually annoys the shit out of me, but it's undoubtedly iconic)

 

Oof, late to the show but thanks for letting me put my 2 cents in!

 

man i wish i had listened to something/anything? a whole lot sooner

kevin parker talking about rundgren so much suddenly makes more sense

 

Great call - always better late than never.

 

It's pretty insane that "Redwood Tree" is almost like...a filler or throwaway track for Van on St. Dominic's. What an insane stretch this man had to start his career.
