In Through The Out Door-Led Zeppelin. It always gets overlooked. After the remaster that Jimmy did, some of those songs sound really good and fresh. Carouselambra is mostly keyboards, but around 4:05 the section changes. Jimmy comes in with such a growling guitar with a perfect dark tone that it shakes my house when cranked up. This album deserves more respect. Note: I know CODA was their last release, but they were older songs from previous years, not new studio material.

David Bowie's Black Star is the ultimate last album by any artist in music in my modest opinion. An artistic and creative farewell as huge as the artist. An album far, far ahead of its time in originality and creativity. So far ahead, that it seeks to overcome the death of its creator as if cheating fate. Great show as always with the P dream team of Pardo and Popoff. Honourable mention: Clockwork Angels by Rush.

My favourite has to be David Bowie’s Blackstar. I never really listened to much of his stuff at all, then one day in the spring of 2017 while I was away in an unfamiliar city for school I went to Wal Mart and saw that CD sitting there. I had heard good things so I bought it on a whim. Didn’t have a CD player at the time other than in my car so I went to a thrift store and grabbed a CD Walkman for 10 bucks, went back to my dorm room, laid down on my bed and put the album on. I can see how it might not be immediate for some but it blew my mind on first listen. Since then I have gone back and fallen in love with a lot of his back catalogue (mostly the 70s stuff) and I now rank him in my top 5 favourite artists of all time! There are a lot of great ones though, here are some others I really dig: Thin Lizzy - Thunder and Lightning Death - The Sound of Perseverance Aphrodite’s Child - 666 Porcupine Tree - The Incident Bolt Thrower - Those Once Loyal Celtic Frost - Monotheist The Beatles - Let it Be Coroner - Grin Emperor - Prometheus Edge of Sanity - Crimson II The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Electric Ladyland Landberk - Indian Summer Kyuss - ...And the Circus Leaves Town Mahogany Rush - Eye of the Storm The Move - Message from the Country Nick Drake - Pink Moon The Police - Synchronicity Rage Against the Machine - The Battle of Los Angeles Rush - Clockwork Angels Sacrifice - The Ones I Condemn Simon & Garfunkel - Bridge Over Troubled Water Steamhammer - Speech System of a Down - Hypnotize Web - I Spider

I'm gonna vote for another album very early in this video! Queen's 'Innuendo' album from 1991! Songwriting is sick, Steve Howe shows up for the title track. Freddie's vocals are thin but totally on point. I do not count 'Made In Heaven,' which I see as Queen's cash grab in 1995, even though it has several post-'Innuendo' tracks where Mercury and company are still in top form. EDIT - Seeing Blackstar here is bittersweet. Excellent album by all means! It was released on my mother's birthday on January 8th (who had passed in 2013 of cancer), and Bowie died on my birthday on January 10th. The passing of time sucks...

Hypnotic Eye-Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Their last studio album. Fault Lines is a rockin' song. American Dream Plan B is also worth listening to. This album has a good sound quality to it. And, the band were in great form, while having a good time. It's sad that Tom is gone. His later albums were pretty damn good in my opinion.

When we saw Let It Be on the store shelves we had no clue The Beatles were done. In 1970, I was 18 and ready to graduate high school. Music news was very sparse unless it was on the media at the time we were clueless. Seeing McCartney on the shelf and All Things Must Pass and Plastic Ono Band pretty much proved they were gone.

Glad to see Max Webster get some love. Loved that album in high school. (No better song opening than on "Check"?) "Weirdly polite." Well, they're Canadian after all! For a great guitar solo, listen to the "Beyond the Moon" outro...a minute of "simple" yet enthralling chord progression.

Pete i know we have talked about this before....but i still think you should do yourself a favor and delve into the band (starting with their first album) Crack The Sky. Trust me..i have been watching you for years now and i know the kind of stuff you dig. Ask Martin about them...or others. You are missing out on a great one that you never heard of. Peace.

One could also argue for 'Abbey Road' instead of 'Let it Be' - 'Abbey...' was the last one recorded. But maybe the show is about the last released...
@robertsaul2343 жыл бұрын
You could make an argument for either. I Me Mine and the guitar solo for Let it Be were recorded after Abbey Road.
@corleth843 жыл бұрын
@@robertsaul234 Granted... and also considering that the released album was the Phil Spector produced version - all 1970. It could go like this... 'Get back' album (some of Glyn Johns' compilations), Abbey Road, more 'Get back' versions by Glyn Johns, and finally 'Let it Be' by Phil Spector... oh and the more recent 'naked' version of 2003.

Hopefully NOT their last album, but if it turns out to be so, The Symbol Remains is a kickass BÖC album. With Eric and Buck both in their 70’s, not sure how much longer they’re going to hang on.
@christianman733 жыл бұрын
"The Symbol Remains" is *such* a good album-- I would even go so far as to say that it's a late-career masterpiece, and I want to hear *many* of the songs live!-- but I do hope that they have at least one more new album in them before they stop. This incarnation of the band is so good that it deserves to heard on even more great new material!

It's pronounced "HOO-sker," not "HUS-ker." 😉 And _Zen Arcade_ and _Metal Circus_ "unlistenable?!" Hardly. They're masterpieces. Go listen again!

Yes for sure on the pronunciation. But I do like Husker's later poppy stuff better. I Need to pull out Zen and give it a spin after many years.

'Southern Blodd' by Gregg Allaman is another one that I would add to this list. It shares that 'Saying Goodbye' of 'Balckstar' and 'Innuendo'. I have always been a massive fan of Gregg and ABB, they're my 'Dead Head' band if you get my drift. This album is Gregg knowing he's running out of time and acts as his way to say 'goodbye' to all his fans. I was at a 'Dead and Company' concert a few days after he died and they played 'He's Gone', flashing Gregg's picture up on the big screen. I don't know why but someone was evidently chopping onions right then.
