I've hesitated to post complete albums as it takes dedication on the part of the listener to take the time to hear the whole thing but I do like the proposition for it in this thread. I also enjoy sharing a good story when talking about music so here's mine related to albums.
In 2004 I moved from Washington (the state) to Florida to retire but within months was hired out of retirement by a company in Yakima WA. I left my wife in Florida for six months while I was temporarily relocated and I brought virtually nothing with me. A friend of mine, Gary ("Crowski")Crow, is a disc jockey at KZOK in Seattle and I created a "contest" for him. The "Grand Prize" was an all expense paid trip to Yakima for two while the "Booby Prize" was a custom made Gary Crow bobblehead that I'd had made (with the understanding that a person isn't really a 'celebrity' unless they have a their own bobblehead - LOL). The contest was to answer the question "What was the first CD I purchased upon arriving in Yakima" because I'd left my entire music collection in Florida.
Crowski knows what music I like and he guessed that it was either the Beatles' Rubber Soul album or the Revolver album and both were very good guesses because I love both of those albums.... but Crowski was wrong because the first CD I purchased was Led Zeppelin I. So Crowski got his handmade bobblehead instead (one of two as I had two made).
Here is the Led Zeppelin I album but to hear the whole album you have to go to YouTube because each song is listed individual but all of the tracks have the links provide on the right on YouTube site.
And, of course, I still tell Crowski that I made him a real celebrity. LOL

I find most people will listen to the album if its something they are familiar with. And some people actually like seeing new stuff.
What I do is have two windows one for the album the other for the forum I'm in and that's usually how I can listen to them without interruption. I like the challenge of having to go back and find them again if they get removed. On my forum I constantly delete albums that were removed or go find it again and re post it. My thread at pf has over 8000 views. I think for some it brings back memory's.

The Door debut album (and I still have the problem that each track is individual but all can be accessed by the link).
It appears that YouTube doesn't provide nearly enough "full album" coverage so the only way that I can really exploit this thread is if I start downloading complete albums to YouTube. That's going to take me some time as I lost all of my music from my hard drive recently and now have to find the original CD's that I copied and are now in boxes.
Edit: Arrrrrrr - I just tried the link to YouTube from here and the other tracks don't show up like they do with I access it directly doing a YouTube search. Oh well, it sucks but let's just the Doors debut album is a must for music collectors.

I was fortunate to see CTA at the Fillmore West in January 1970 and I was very impressed by Danny Seraphine. the drummer, that is outstanding on this album and the "Beginnings" track is an excellent example. Sit back and just listen to Danny Seraphine's drum work as it's amazing. The track "I'm a Man" from this album is also an excellent example of Danny Seraphine's drum work worth listening to so let me provide that track here.
Personally I rank Danny Seraphine as one of the best rock drummers of all time and ironically "Chicago" fired him in 1982 as I recall because he didn't get along with their transition into jazz where, as I noted, I don't think they are all that good. Danny Seraphine, living in LA at the time, created the California Transit Authority group but it never really went anywhere.
This is a "MUST" album for any serious collector.

I gotta hand it to you , you nailed it. i have the second album and enjoy the popish tune "color my world" I enjoy 25 or 6 2 4 very much for it is the quintessential comment on doing speed in that era. the words are killer if you ever have been there...lol.... but thats it for me after the first. once i heard the very end of an interview with someone who talked about the meaning of the the title 25 or 624 and did not hear the entire explanation...except , the band was all sitting around very high on speed and someone asked what time it was and the answer was 25 or 624...i've tried to google it in the past with no luck as to how they got the formula....lol!!!!! ooops....not so according to wiki... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/25_or_6_to_4here have a listen and think speed...lol ouch www.straightdope.com/columns/read/1842/what-does-the-chicago-lyric-25-or-6-to-4-meananywho..... Songwriters: LAMM, ROBERT Waiting for the break of day Searching for something to say Flashing lights against the sky Giving up I close my eyes Sitting cross-legged on the floor 25 or 6 to 4 Staring blindly into space Getting up to splash my face Wanting just to stay awake Wondering how much I can take Should I try to do some more 25 or 6 to 4 Feeling like I ought to sleep Spinning room is sinking deep Searching for something to say Waiting for the break of day 25 or 6 to 4 25 or 6 to 4 |

Here is the Led Zeppelin I album but to hear the whole album you have to go to YouTube because each song is listed individual but all of the tracks have the links provide on the right on YouTube site.
When this album first came out my friend got it and we all fell in love with it. oddly enough it wasn't a big hit .. the album was shelved by the record companies for about six months. Due to the new fangled thing called FM radio .. it was played as a sort of underground cult following thing. due to FM radio the demand sparked a rerelease of sorts....the rest is history. |

Led Zeppelin was invited to play at Woodstock (that I knew nothing about because the US military censored the news in Vietnam) but turned do the gig believing that Woodstock would be a flop. They played another gig in upstate New York instead from what I understand.
It was the Led Zeppelin II album that really propelled them into the mainstream spot light with.....
I never missed a Led Zeppelin concert in LA and that included every show on every tour. For example I believe in 1973 they did five shows at the Forum and I was there for all of them. As I recall Led Zeppelin was voted the #1 recording and live group for 1974 in Billboard which was ironic because they didn't release an album or tour that year. |

The Doors played at my high school on May 17, 1967 along with the Jefferson Airplane, Iron Butterfly and several other top West Coast groups of the time.
This would lead me to another album that is a "Must" for any collector and that is the Jefferson Airplane's Surrealistic Pillow album. Grace Slick was unquestionably my favorite female vocalists of the 1960's surpassing Janis Joplin but that is my personal preference. From that album......
Although my favorite song is probably Grace Slick and Paul Kantner's version of Wooden Ships from the Volunteer album. The harmony is compelling.
I recently saw Paul Kantner with Cathy Richardson perform Wooden Ships at a local Seattle night club and Cathy Richardson was excellent with Kantner.

The concert at Birmingham High School in the San Fernando Valley (Los Angeles) on May 17,1967 (the year after I graduated) is legendary as it is the only one ever held at a high school that I'm aware of. We had a brand new sports stadium with professional lighting (that the students, not the taxpayers, funded) and the concert started around 2:00 in the afternoon. As I recall (remember this was the 60's and anyone that remembers it missed it LOL) opened with Poco, then the Peanut Butter Conspiracy (great live but their album sucked), It's a Beautiful Day, Jefferson Airplane, the Doors, and finally Iron Butterfly.
It was an awesome event and I don't know why other concerts were never held. To my knowledge there were no problems whatsoever.
I missed Woodstock completely because I was in Vietnam and they didn't even report that it had occurred in the Military. We had very censored news and I was so far out in the boonies that I didn't even know about the Apollo moon landing until about a month after it happened.
Historical note on Woodstock. Jimi Hendrix was the last act to play, it was after the rain storm, and only about 15,000 of the over 250,000 fans were still there to hear him.

This was under the Christmas Tree for me when i was about 12.
it remains one of my favourite all time recordings.
My brother and I always planned which record he wanted and I wanted for we both would win in the end..lol
I recall Phill Collins mentioning it in an interview and he said something like" One of my favourite albums is Sgt Pepper's. Every now and then i put it on and "I GO THERE". When i put it on i know for the next 45 minutes i'm going to GO THERE!. It's one of those albums that just brings you to a certain place".
how true....
