Pete Pardo, I have a great idea for another series of shows. Instead of ranking the albums... ranking the tracks on a classic album. You could start with Rumours by Fleetwood Mac and invite two or three of your guests to make it an interesting in depth talk about an album we all know (except from Chris Alo). Plenty of classic albums to cover on the following shows...
That's a great idea for a show!
I must third that.
#1 Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here.
(Pretty big gap)
Bob Dylan - Blood on the Tracks
Queen - Night at the Opera
Camel - Snow Goose
Black Sabbath - Sabotage
Rainbow - Rainbow
Physical Graffiti is a monster. Best Zep album. Total genius piled on top of an already genius band.
Physical Graffiti is the sound of four other worldly musicians playing at their ultimate peak-it stands alone and eternally reaffirms what mankind is capable of.......yeah, it's pretty good! Led Zep documentary coming SOON!
Im not gonna lie after the fourth album i stopped listening to zeppelin. And 3 is my favorite. The acoustic one. Ive never listened to physical graffiti. Never once. Not sure why i havent.
Don't deprive yourself any longer-Physical Graffiti is as good as rock gets!
Well said, Ian! The diversity and dazzling musicianship by ALL four is astounding! In my less than humble estimation, Physical Graffiti is quite simply the very peak of rock and roll! Zep could feature kazoos and it would still shit on most bands from a mile high! My niece just gave me the remastered vinyl edition for my b-day....God, I love her!
Another Green World - Brian Eno
Slow Dazzle - John Cale
Red - King Crimson

Takeaways from tonight's episode:
1. Chris, Ryan, Steve, Sydney and Butch along with Martin Popoff in the house
2. Chris has never listened to Fleetwood Mac's "Rumors" !?!
3. Sydney bought her crappy copy of her Alice Cooper album at Rock Fantasy...
4. "There's 'ol Handsome Dick"
5. Tony Iommi may have stolen Chris' copy of Sabotage...
6. Butch has never watched the movie "Jaws" !?!
7. "A lot of Goblin out there..."
8. There's actually a band named Goblin Cock. Who knew?!
9. "...my favorite album from a band that has about 400 billion albums..."
10. "As normal, I found a way to cheat"...
11. ZZ Top: The forgotten band of the Hudson Valley Squares...
12. Ryan's little face licking dog appears at the 1 hour 1 minute and 14 second mark...
13. "Ryan keeps his dog on a low salt diet"
14. Turns out that Chris's Sabotage album was right under his nose all along...
15. "...good drinking album"
16. "That guy looked like a fucking pixie from the Harry Potter movies"
ZZ TOP was mentioned.
@@franciskocher200 I was referring to Sydney's comment that they always forget about ZZTop until late in their shows
@@michaelriffee4526 ok.😃👍🤘
You forgot the comments at the end from Sydney and Chris. Sydney wishes she had as quick a wit as Chris does and Chris replied that his wit can get in him into trouble too. At 1:05:00 mark.

Really ? Wow !
1. Black Sabbath: " Sabotage ", 2. Led Zeppelin: "Physical Graffiti", 3. Thin Lizzy : " Fighting", 4. UFO: " Force It ", 5. Rush: " Fly By Night . Dishonorable Mentions: Alice Cooper: " Welcome To My Nightmare", Frank Zappa: " Bongo Fury " , The Who: " Who By Numbers" , Hawkwind: " Warrior On The Edge Of Time", Budgie: " Bandolier".
@@MochaDaisy8645 Thank You! I was just being a little flippant in subbing the word / antiphrasis; "dishonorable" for, honorable. I really love the albums on my "dishonorable mentions" list as well.
One Size Fits All is an extraordinary album, probably Zappa's best overall. Since you like Bongo Fury, it is a must listen if you have not heard it. Bongo Fury seems to be underated, about half of it is amazing, some of the best live performances ever, my favorite after One Size.
@@MochaDaisy8645 I have both - I prefer Bongo Fury, mainly because The Captain is on it - Hot Rats is my favourite Zappa album , although... it's not just because of the Captain's appearance on Steamboat Willie The Pimp, still, I really wish Zappa and Beefheart had made a few albums together, they're both alphas so... it would have been impossible in the long term - Beefheart being the more inflexible and disagreeable of the two, I think....
@@ethosardour2320 : I have and LOVE both, and I realize they were both put out in 1975 - I do slightly prefer Bongo Fury because of the Captain being involved. I think I've fallen into Pete's habit of not naming more than one band or performer's album(s) on any given subject, genre, or year - it's a good policy, really .
@@MochaDaisy8645 : Frank also edited/added in fragments of live performances into his " studio albums " - most of his studio albums are these odd hybrids of live and studio recordings. "We're Only In It For The Money ", is superb - it's my second favourite Mothers' album ( "Weasels Ripped My Flesh" is my fave Mothers cd ). Frank has an odd and varied catalogue , I tend to favour the late 60's early 70's material ( 66 - 75 ) , but I also really enjoy the Steve Vai era . I can sometimes obsess on the " Thing Fish " album. The Flo and Eddie period is a weird one for me - sometimes; I genuinely enjoy listening to it ( the version of Call Any Vegetable on "Just Another Band From L.A", is excellent), - mostly; it's a total disconnect with that period, and I find their vocals wonky - verging on annoying ( and, yes, I know Flo and Eddie were early 70's as well). I agree that "Caress of Steel" is the more ambitious of the two Rush releases for 1975 - I just prefer "Fly By Night" . I really don't like the production on "Caress of Steel" - lot of middle earth songs on that album - not really a Tolkein fan - Bastille Day and Lakeside Park are Fantastic, though! I'm from St. Catharines, Ontario ( Port Dalhousie ), where Neil grew up. Lakeside Park is about our park in Port Dalhousie - they renamed The Lakeside Park Pavilion, the Neil Peart Pavilion last year. They haven't erected the Neil statue, yet - but... the proposed statue is incredible!

Hey Pete. I've been watching you for about a year & a half & I know you're a fan of theirs. I CAN'T believe you didn't give The Who- Who By Numbers (definitely 75) . It's an often overlooked (maybe not anymore) classic gem from 1975. Rock on Mr.Pardo. Hudson Valley Squares RULE!
Kenny from Jersey
I'm not a big fan of Who By Numbers Kenny...always thought it was pretty mediocre to my ears, and a HUGE step down from the 3 albums that came out before it.
Wow. Surprised to hear you say that. Hey. As you always say, everyone's entitled to their opinion. Wow! I really like that album (except maybe Squeeze Box) but that's my opinion. To me, their quality didn't go down until after Who Are You
Great channel Pete. Keep up the great work! 👍

Way to go Chris. Very interesting picks, didn't see that coming - but at the same time those were very Chris Allo picks. In Trance and TNT were excellent choices. It's funny that everybody thinks those are fantastic albums, yet they are usually overshadown by other albums from that year. The worldwide 1976 release of High Voltage is basically equal to the Australian 1975 TNT - almost the same tracklist and same running order. Cheers!
1975 was perhaps one of the GOAT years for music releases of all kinds..hands down..
A very good year, but for me, 1980 takes the crown.
Agree, also my personal pick for best year ever in music
Not just albums, 1975 was the GOAT year for movies.
1. Brian Eno - “Another Green World”
2. The Who - “Who By Numbers”
3. Roxy Music - “Siren”
4. Patti Smith - “Horses”
Love the Eno - thanks for that. That album literally moved my brain cells around.
@@MartinPopoff so many great players on that album too.
Top Ten in no particular order:
Pink Floyd-Wish You Were Here,
Led Zeppelin-Physical Graffiti,
Kansas-Song For America,
Kansas-Masque

I give the entire crew props for their picks, especially Sydney. Love the diversity in your album picks. It makes the channel fun to watch.
Great shout Song For America. My no.2 also. Judging by your name, your no.1 for 1976 will be the same as mine. Boston.
Call me stereotypical if you want, but these are my top (in no particular order).
Sabotage - Black Sabbath (definitely my favorite from this year)
Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow - Rainbow
Physical Graffiti - Led Zeppelin
Fly By Night - Rush
A Night at the Opera - Queen (Not my favorite album from them, but worthy of the spot)
Ted Nugent - Ted Nugent
Bandolier - Budgie
Fool for the City - Foghat
Another great show with the Squares and Martin Popoff as a special guest. Most of my choices were named during the episode except perhaps That's The Way Of The World by Earth, Wind & Fire. Apologies if it was already mentioned. And Chris gave me the biggest laugh when he muttered 'S O B!' upon finding his Black Sabbath set right in front of him. Sounded just like me. Thanks to all for your time in bringing us another must-see-TV episode.
1. Queen "A Night At The Opera
2. Wings "Venus & Mars"
3. Alice Cooper "Welcome To My Nightmare"
4. Pink Floyd "Wish You Were Here"
5. KISS "Dressed To Kill"
Top 5 in no particular order: LZ - Physical Graffiti, DP - Come Taste the Band, Springsteen - Born to Run, Thin Lizzy - Fighting, Peter Hammill - Nadir's Big Chance
Foghat Fool for the City, Supertramp Crisis What Crisis, and Styx Equinox
So glad that Hawkwind's Warrior at the Edge of Time got a mention. I actually saw Hawkwind last Friday night (on what was Dave Brock's 80th birthday) and they did two songs from that very album. Stunning gig!
I'd probably go with (no particular order) Fighting, Physical Graffiti, Wish You Were Here, Minstrel In The Gallery and Rainbow. Very close behind would be Teaser, Come Taste The Band, Straight Shooter.
Nice Martin popoff is in this one he's always got something interesting to say.
Hi Guys and Sydney. Great Show. You took all my picks. Pete, I did not think you were going to forget Equinox. Here are a couple not mentioned.
1 Head East - Flat as a Pancake
2. Hydra - Land of Money
What a great year for music, I love the Tommy Bolin Teaser album.
Pardo rocking the Triumph shirt.
Awesome ALLIED FORCES shirt, Pete, Triumph's best, hands down!
