Dreamboat Annie & Little Queen by Heart

Anne Wilson is one of the great rock singers!

I would throw in:

"Fear of Music"- Talking Heads
"Big Science"- Laurie Anderson

[Cy2009]

I just found this thread. I love these kind of discussions. Here is my list. I do have a very eclectic taste in music.

1. Quadrophenia - The Who
I truly think this is the greatest album of all time - Townsend's masterpiece.

2. Dovark's "New World Symphony" - Von Dohnanyi w/Cleveland Symphony
This is amazing. If you don't listen to classical, try this piece. It is something to hear.

3. His Best: Chess 50th Anniversary Collection - Howlin' Wolf
Easily, my favorite blues singer.

4. Tarkus - Emerson, Lake, and Palmer
Probably my first favorite album for a long period of time.

5. Little Creatures - Talking Heads
David Byrne is quite a singer/song writer.

6. Blow By Blow - Jeff Beck
Ever seen Jeff Beck live? Wow!

7. Heartbeat City - The Cars
I had to put a Cars album in here. I do think this is their best.

8. Never Been Rocked Enough - Delbert McClinton
If you aren't familiar with Delbert, listen to a few of these songs on YouTube.

9. The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway - Genesis
Especially, the first disc.

10. Compact Command Performances - The Four Tops
I know it's a compilation, but how can you ignore Levi Stubbs when you are talking greatest anything in music?

We pretty much agree. Other than a couple that I chose that are more recent, we have the same groups. We just disagree on which one of their albums we prefer.
