I had an interesting chat with an old chum the other day regarding our favorite “rock” albums of all time.
The last “rock” concert I went to was in 1976, Frank Zappa and Elvin Bishop on the same bill, which I thought was very strange at the time. I hated Bishop, but Frank was spectacular.
Although I am really primarily a Jazz guy, I still like some “rock” a couple of times a week.
Anyway, excluding Zappa, the Grateful Dead and the Allman Bros, all of which I still listen to regularly, I decided that my top two “rock” albums of all time are these:
One of the originals of the 1950’s that got squeezed out of most media because they were considered too controversial, but were well known around the Southeast by whites as well as blacks.
That tune rings me back to Germany in the army (USA) a couple of buddies and I used to get some pot. A brother of one of my friends was a medic and one sunny day we rode around Nuremberg in his old Mercedes high on bennies, smoking pot, laughing out the window: Eich lieber disch! Stopped in for a beer and this song came on from somewhere and “groovy” for whatever it meant, was where we were at.
