Which 2

[ChEFF]

I enjoyed my Singles.....Days. Peace

"Albums" today don't even exist. 

Everyone just releases singles it seems now

Notice how the choices are mostly form the 70's, 80's and 90's. That is back when you could listen to the whole album, tape or CD. Now you are lucky if there are 2 or 3 good songs on a CD. 

I agree with all the choices so far...sometimes you forget that a group had so many good songs as the radio only plays the same 2 over and over.

I will add :

Def Leppard - Hysteria, Pyromania, , High and Dry, On Thru the Night.

The Cult - Love, Electric, Sonic Temple

Queensryche - Operation Mind Crime, Empire

Billy Idol - Billy Idol, Rebel Yell

INXS - Listen Like Thieves, Kick

Rush - ?

Rush has a string of great records from the First one thru Signals at least ( That was when I stopped buying their records) but it's hard to place two back to back

First one was almost like it wasn't Rush really, Yet Fly by Night was great, Then you got Caress of Steel and that was good but really hard record to love. Then they put out 2112 a masterpiece but Farewell to Kings took a little time to get use to as well. If there were two that you could make a case for that would be the two. Then you got Hemisphere's where to me you get the best one sided Rush record of all times, The Tree's, Circumstances and La Villa Strangiato  :mwb:   The second side Book II of Cygnus X-1 materfull performance forgettable songs. Then you get Permanent Waves but besides Spirit of Radio and Freewill there is a lot of more songs you don't really remember. Then comes Moving Pictures  :bow1: ....... Followed by Signals  :dunno:

Sounds like you may have listened to Rush once or twice ?

I left the question mark because you could take you pick of them and they are all great. 2112 and Moving Pictures for sure would be mine.

Not to derail the topic but this kind of goes with the theme. My parents were into Rock when I was growing up. I was more Punk / Alternative at the time. 

Anyways, my mom was a big Pink Floyd fan as well as many others such as Dire Straights, Journey, Rush, etc. Well now that my mom has passed, I hear certain songs and they will take me right back to a particular time in my life such as getting a ride to school from her or coming home to her jamming out while cleaning the house. They trigger memories of better times......

My Dad was into three kinds of music.

Country

Western

and Motown

Lefty, Marty and Tina Turner were in constant rotation

In the car though it was sports radio 99% of the time and he would put on Country to get us to fall asleep, still has the same effect on me today :lol:  

For me though I have a handful of songs you could call them my first favorite songs.  Songs I remember liking right away as a kid that were on my first radio. Songs that trigger a actual smell of the non-toxic model glue I used. Strange how music triggers so many different things, and it is sad that today's kids will never have that time of discovery. When you borrowed a friends or sole an older siblings LP and would drop the needle down on side 1 song 1 and listen while you stared at the cover or intensely read the liner notes for the entire time you consumed the entire record, with no skips.
