Music- what's your favorite album that no one knows?
 

Mega road trip from St Louis to Walpole and then 10 round trips down to the Canal requires something to keep me happy and awake...

I am open to anything from LOTS of Phish, LOTS of Dead, Duke Ellington, Roy Orbison, Brian Eno, 80's stuff, ALL CLASSIC ROCK, All Jazz, but not too much rap or punk rock... I like EVERYTHING!!!

I'm looking for your favorite album that you don't think too many people listen to... Please help me out, I'm experiencing dowloaders block :)

Also, anyone ever keep an ipod in one ear while fishing? I never have but I race bikes and spend close to 20 hours a week on one and almost always am listening to music. When my GF asked me if I listened to my Ipod while I fished it was weird that I have never considered it...

Help a brother out!

Anything by Chris Smither (Blues)
Sara Tavares - Balance
Ryan Adams - Cold Roses
Vieux Farka Toure

before i dropped my ipod from 35' on staging, i used to listen to it fishing all the time. it never quite worked again after that fall. Piebald, Built to Spill, and anything country are all good when fishing or just about anything else

Tool makes some damn fine roadtrip music, IMHO. I'm enjoying "parabola" right now. I don't listen to anything when I fish, though. Just the thoughts that spin in my head and hopefully, breaking fish!

flying burrito bros.- flying again.

Tower Of Power, Live and in living color

Ahhh, that would be Hulk Hogan and the Wrestling Boot Band...just ask Mikey!

Widespread Panic, any album as long as it's live, Govt Mule, same thing, Moe. warts and all series(makes rides seem really short)

Folk music meets a hit of acid - Holy Modal Rounders 1&2
A cornerstone - Son House Complete 1965 sessions
Just a guy who writes good music - Jack Johnson On and on

Barry Manilow, Unplugged

I'm feeling Neil Young- Decade right now. Cortez the Killer is arguably the finest song I have ever heard.

Live at the Filmore East.

Wait, like, nobody else actually owns this do they??? :devil2:

I'm gonna have to agree with RickBomba on this one.

I came close to throwing one in the Canal last year, when the guy wearing headphones couldn't hear me yelling "HEY, DON'T CAST. I HAVE A GOOD FISH ON" :wall:

against me

There's some sort of GD and Phish relationship to fishing. Not sure if fisherman are prone to listen to them or if fans of those bands like to fish, but it's there.

None of these albums are unknowns by any means but they're just hidden enough to sometimes be overlooked. Given what you listed if you don't already have them you're sure to love them.

Grisman & Garcia: David Grisman and Jerry Garcia

Bela Fleck: Tales from the Acoustic Planet

Hot Tuna: Live at Sweetwater Two

Old and in the Way: Breakdown

Boss Martians

I've also been on a Muse kick for months, especially if it's live.

Big in the UK, but mostly unknown/unliked over here. Great for getting up in the early morning to head out fishing or for staying energized in between fishing spots late at night.

Radiohead In Rainbows
 

Never really understood or liked this band until I heard this song, serious musicianship.

Bodysnatchers, great live version

Steve Earle - El Corzon
Wilco - sky blue sky

Kings of Leon - Because of the Times

not sure if you've heard of them or are into them and it's not unknown as its their newest but good stuff

Lately for me it's been bluegrass - anything by Byron Berline, Doc Watson's "Docabilly" and Union Station -

Sorta gets me pumped driving out at night - had some friends in a BG band many moons ago and got them a gig on the Block (or the Island, if you're indigenous to that place) - a few never left. I mean, they're still above ground and all, they just never got back on the ferry. It happens.

Yup, that was more than 30 years ago BYWB - Before You Were Born, in some cases :hs:

Boy, that kind of arithmetic can be scary :eek:

Metallica Load and JOhnny "The Man" Cash........

T Rex - The Slider

"Unchained" ~~Johnny Cash.
5 Grammy's, some of his best songs and vocals, TP and the Heartbreakers are the studio musicians, Fleetwood and B#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&gham play on one cut, a NIN cover, and other "guest" performers.

"You Get What You Play For" ~~REO Speedwagon.
LIVE, back before they went all ballady and sappy and sheet. sum amazing guitar work by Gary Richrath, several tunes to re-amp the night. the only cut that's missing is "Roll with the Changes".

"Pure Schuur" ~~Dianne Schuur.
if you like female jazz, she is this blind chick that can wail with her vocals and plays the keys. classic songs with her new takes. very distinct voice and arrangements that fit her chops.

AND waaaaay toooooo many to mention here,,,,,,,,,,,,

Pete:
Who would have guessed. I have everyone of those albums. Old and in the Way is one of my top 10. Grisman is an absolute genius.

paul- pete can thank his folks for his good music taste, i always look forward to the tunes when going to the edge!
