Los Lobos - I am simply amazed they have not been previously mentioned. One of the greatest live acts going, and also very nice records. You must see them.



Little Feat- when I was in sound reinforcement, 'Time Loves a Hero' from Waiting for Columbus was the final sound check - gotta warm up those bass bins!



The Seldom Scene - Bluegrass isn't for everyone, and the lineup has changed to include only one original member since the loss of Duffy, but John Duffys vocals and the dobro playing of Mike Auldridge are tops. Find some older recordings, and if you are not keen on bluegrass proper, try the album 'Blue Ridge' with guitar master Johnathan Edwards (Sunshine Go away..) or single in on covers of 'the house of the rising sun' and 'walk dont run'.

The Who - The latest edition of ‘Live At Leeds’ is wonderful. 'A quick one / While he's away' is a simply amazing live recording. The band at their best. I can also recommend the latest pressing of ‘The Kids Are Alright’ – so much content, including an overhead camera on Keith Moon, and the option to listen to only John Entwhistle during ‘Wont get fooled again’.



Jimmy Page and The Black Crows Live at The Greek- Hard to find, I think, and a wonderful 'tribute' to Led Zeppelin. LZ and the Black Crows are not my ATF’s, but this album is a must have for anyone whose tastes are close.



I noted a few bands I will have to check out from your lists, Thanks for the leads! I was pleased to see so few of my most despised artists. Those that are so cheesy, silly, commercial or lame that sometimes, I leave the radio tuned on and just shake my head laughing.



Would a thread devoted to 'the worst' be too divisive? Or just too long!

While I listen to a lot of different music, there are certain recordings that were made for JBL.
Baba O'Riely, The Who
Dark Side of the Moon
Crime of the Century
Asia
Yellow Brick Road
and most recently I've discovered the last bastion of high end music production...country! I can't believe the sound quality of today's country. The vocals are right up in your face. The sound field is so lush and full and the production is old school 2" tape. Acoustic guitars deliver exciting rich harmonics which naturally stimulate the ear. The drums kick; you can hear the snare snap right out at you from your 10" mids, and the toms decay in the distance like rolling thunder...Jo Dee Messina, Bye Bye (Greatest Hits)
I'm not even a fan of the music...I just get off on the sound...next, Celine Dion !#%*$!!

I'm also a fan of the Putumayo CDs and the many wonderful artists involved. I also dig rare and unusual recordings. Also, the Smithsonian Folkways "on location" recordings of tribal peoples. Listening to those brutally raw adat recordings of tribal songs/percusssion will make the hair on your neck stand up!
