Live in Armenia by Uriah Heep. an album that isn't that old but the band has been around 40+ years. Very good concert with old and new material that has grown on me.

There are a few Rock albums that would lessen life if they existed no more. It would leave an empty hole in the culture itself if there were no DSOTM.
No Cosmo's Factory or no Electric Ladyland.

Excellent choices !

I had/ have all those albums except Blue Cheer & Rare Bird.

I too have a fondness for Jeff Beck- Rough & Ready & Beck-Ola, Who- Live at Leeds, & James Gang- Yer Album.

Loved that "Battle of the Locusts" song on Aphrodite's Child-666 album.

What a list!

I imagine this reads like an anthology of many of our lives. I connect events to music as far back as...well, 8 or 10 years old I suspect. I'm 59 now.

I'll add a couple, which I still like today.

James Gang- Bang
Pat Benatar - Tropico

bladesmith · « **Reply #38 on:** 23 May 2015, 10:19 pm »

I have to add "Marvin Gay", Masters from 1961 to 1984....
