I give you credit since when I was in high school that list would have been Nevermind, Ten, Vs., Purple, and Led Zeppelin IV.
It was the mid-nineties and I was a teenager, so yes. Then. My list would be quite different now.Ello Sailor wrote:Two PJ albums? What a dogshit call. Unbelievable.
Yet, I could make the colorable argument that Sticky Fingers and Exile on Main Street are absolute must haves. I would also place both currently in my top 5 favorite albums ever.Ello Sailor wrote:No excuse. Doubling up on bands, even at that age, is a massively cornball move.
Jorge would never have let you write for that paper.

Those are all very much albums a high schooler into music in that era would have liked, not surprising at all. I had all of those too (even though I never took to Nick Drake)VinylGuy wrote:Are we sure we believe Jorge was listening to those albums at that age? Wasn’t he a like an offspring super fan ?
Fitting that you also mention Pink Floyd. The connection here is that Joe Boyd produced the first 2 Nick Drake albums. Prior to that he had produced Pink Floyd’s first ever single “Arnold Layne” as well as an early compilation of theirs.liebzz wrote:I haven’t listened to that album in probably 20+ years but I have a distinct memory of really loving it and listening to it a lot in the 2000-2004 range of time, which coincided with a long delve into the Velvet Underground (not that they really sound anything alike), and Pink Floyd (also very different from the other two). I have no idea why I moved on, but it’s all stored away in some memory bank of the time, ready to be enjoyed again whenever.chewm wrote:pink moon probably in my top 10 albums of all time
