In Reply to: Pivotal albums in your musical life? posted by LWR on May 2, 2015 at 08:09:22:
when someone loaned me Disraeli Gears by Cream. I'd never heard anything like it, since Top of the Pops on the BBC didn't cover anything but top 20 pop.
So, this was blues then?
The second was a double first. I was in a record store after school and heard a stereo system for the fist time, and Whole Lotta Love, from Zeppelins second album was on the turntable. I just stood open mouthed at the way the lead guitar phased across the room.
Reading album sleeves and finding out who Willie Dixon, Muddy Waters, Howlin Wolf etc were was a great adventure from there on.
My first live concert was ELP for the TARKUS tour, so I went out and discovered Progressive Rock from that beginning.
The fourth, to keep in line with the general thread, would be Dixie Chicken. My favourite band from the far side of the pond, and just fantastic musicians with a groove no-one else can imitate.
