the first thing that sticks out:I have a list that I tend to repeat over and over, but I'll give some other albums some love this time:
1. The Beatles - Abbey Road
2. Radiohead - OK Computer
3. U2 - Zooropa
4. Steely Dan - Aja
5. Led Zeppelin - Houses Of The Holy
6. David Bowie - Station To Station
7. The Kinks - Village Green Preservation Society
8. REM - Automatic For The People
9. Beck - Midnite Vultures
10. Pink Floyd - Animals
Have you had a chance to check out anything else yet?
Not yet. I feel like I'm going to be disappointed in anything else.
I blame my parents for most of it. I mean, really, their album collection is atrocious. My father listens to no music and owns no CDs, and my mother has a scattered assortment of greatest hits albums and Christmas music (mostly the latter). My brothers are no help either.
He's consistently a quality artist. The romantic in you would love his first two albums too: both similar themes. Especially the final trio of Wild/Innocent/E Street Shuffle.

fuck i love aja. i think i'll listen to it now.
wow. my parents > your parents.

I grew up with just my mother, and she never bought albums - only singles. And my earliest member is the late 70's, so we're talking mostly disco stuff. It's quite hilarious now that I think back on it. I remember Stayin' Alive in heavy rotation on the record player.
Then I got more exposure in 1981 thanks to MTV (you know, when they actually played fucking music). That channel was so much fun back then.

Aja was my introduction to good music. I love everything on it.
yes! listening to this album makes me think of being about eight years old, living in florida, driving in the car with my momAja was my introduction to good music. I love everything on it.
awww. i liked the first album. i liked e street shuffle better (i thought it was great), but i don't think there was a bad song on the first album.The first one is a mixed bag, IMO, but yes, Screwtape should definitely check out The Wild, The Innocent, And The E Street Shuffle next.
Aja....awesome.
My parents listened to a lot of Motown, which I'm thankful for. They liked the Beatles a lot, too. Besides that, some 70's rock from my Dad, meh. I got into music big-time on my own, basically. Well, my best friend's brother used to listen to a lot of college radio, so, got early exposure to "alternative" music.......

hmmph.Most Steely Dan makes me think of NYC.
Animals is underrated, methinks. It's better than Wish You Were Here, which is dragged down by Welcome to the Machine and Have a Cigar.

Yeah, I pretty much got into the really good stuff on my own and through my friends.

i could make a corny joke about that song title but there's no point.Mary, Queen of Arkansas is very meh to me.
Some good tunes on there, though: Blinded by the Light, For You, Spirit in the Night, Lost in the Flood, IHTBASITC, Growin' Up ...
oh i know, i'm just jealousWell, they have written a lot of songs about the City, and, I was living there when exposed to their music.....
