YOUR GENERATION - The 3 Quintessential Albums - WHAT ARE THEY?

1964

John Lennon - Imagine

Bob Marley - Live

Rodriguez - Cold Fact

1954 (teenager in the 70s)

Led Zeppelin everything but I'll say Physical Graffiti

Lynyrd Skynyrd first album

Allman Bros Eat a Peach


hard to pick only three

Represent our generation at which stage of life? Or every stage of life?

Does the infamous by Mobb Deep represent your generation for every stage of life? Or just the time period when it came out?

Do you mean when we were coming of age? Teens... twenties... children? Because the music that represented my generational youth is a lot different than the music that represents my generational adulthood.

1961

Pink Floyd: DSOTM

Beatles: SPLHCB

CSN&Y: Deja Vu

Why would anyone want to give private information out on a forum?

1978

nirvana Nevermind
Red hot chili peppers blood sugar sex magick
Smashing pumpkins Mellon collie and the infinite sadness

I know but I had to stop somewhere! One would be a joke. Two, a farce. Three...well, it'll have to do.

Five is too many and four is...you know...FOUR. The weirdest number. I can't do four.

Poor four.

Forgot to mention I dropped some acid about an hour ago. Trip-a-dip!

11-11-67

U2. Under a blood red sky
The Police. Synchronicity
The Clash. Combat Rock

Oh boy! Best 70s albums for tripping would be Ten Years After A Space in Time and any Pink Floyd :)

Have fun!

I love all three of those albums. I can tell you thought about those choices. There's a common thread there.

1982

Metallica - And Justice For All
Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit
Michael Jackson - Thriller

Born early sixties

Neil Young - After the Gold Rush
Elvis Costello - My Aim is True
Ramones - self titled

extra credit

Patti Smith - Horses
The Clash - Self Titled
Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Cool to see the South African poster above mention Rodriguez - Cold Fact

Hope the documentary "Searching for Sugar Man" wins best documentary at the Oscars next week.

What an odd question, stirs a lot of memory; Nirvana, Drake, Nikki Menaj as of this stage in life.

No doubt. Meddle, Dark Side, Wish and Animals are my standard tripping soundtracks. But I'm doing something different tonight.

I'm tripping to MY GENERATION'S MUSIC!!!

I swear! Thank God for Smashing Pumpkins!

(those might be my last words one day--and I'll be proud of 'em!)

84, dookie, smells like children, blue skies broken hearts...

You mean

Nirvana - Nevermind

DEFINITELY an influence on my generation too. (pretty much the same as yours. I'm 1979).

And...Justice For All is ONE HELL of am album. LOVE IT!!!!

Speaking of generations...has anyone else noticed or agree that it seems pop-culture really hasn't changed much from the mid-to-late 90's?

What I mean is the 80's, 70's, 60's etc, all have a clear identity that you can easily notice.

Even in the 90's we could look back on the 80's and see it for being much different. The movies were a lot different, clothing a lot different, hair styles, etc..

But, at some point in the 90's ---around 96ish or so we haven't really seemed to advance too much beyond that. Many movies released in 96 and beyond, for example, don't look or feel aged.

Clothing manufactured then, isn't really that out of style in comparison to clothing nowadays.


Could be just me..but, I've always waited for the moment to be able to say, yeah the 90's are now 'old' or unique in comparison to today....and for whatever reason...i still don't see current culture as an identity much beyond it..

83

Nirvana - Nevermind
Radiohead - OK Computer
Notorious B.I.G - Ready to Die

as good as any I suppose, even if I'm maybe a little young for at least two of the three.

When you look at hairstyles, etc...def some age with mid-late 90's stuff imo.

'84

Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band.

Every song from 84 to 89.

Those days are long gone!

Wonder what year bama was born in and would say.

1977


dookie-green day
nevermind-nirvana
dude ranch-blink 182

I got to hit the sack, wish I had more time to play on here like I use to. Good Night

Frampton "Comes Alive"
Pink Floyd "Another Brick in the Wall
Tom Petty "Damn the Torpedo's"

oops
