love boingo's Dead mans party, the music rocks. original Blues Bro's album turned out to be a favorite and still is, always puts me in a good mood. :sqsmile:
So this thread is about albums you bought that you got hooked on or ones that surprised the hell out of you. Until a few weeks ago the best album I had ever bought was by "Tantric". No doubt, I have listened to that thing a few hundred times and thought it might be my all time favorite, but we have a new contender in da house now. Was in the record store the other day and the album they played was some kind of lighthearted, funkish new wave. Upon closer listening I determined it be Oingo Boingo. Never been a fan, but within two more tracks I was boppin along through the aisles. Finally I couldn't stand it and had to check out the "now playing box". It's called "Boingo Alive", and I got it for the rippin price of $2.50 used!!!!!! I've already put at least 20 or 30 laps on that thing and love it! It sounds like a live version of their songs but there's no crowd noise so who knows. Color me surprised, but you just never know! you'd recognize a lot of the songs on it. Funky beats, horn section, all that jazz.....Color me surprised. How about you guys? What has been the biggest surprise of your musical selections?

I have a bunch of old punk thats my favorite.
I have a rare studio recording of Christ on Parade that rocks.
It's on cassette I need to copy it to CD. It would make a excellent black market cut.
If anyone wants a copy let me know.
Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon.
Who know I'd like is as much at 45 as I did at 15?
i have so many...but i think the biggest surprise i ever got off an album may have to be Steely Dan's Aja album.
i am going to take a big bite off this thread and start a new one. i hope you're not pissed!

Yeah, to me that album is timeless... and one of the first true sound projects... by Alan Parsons.
AC/DC...Back In Black.
As the years go by this is still my preferred album/CD to listen to when having a beerÂ…

I had an 8 track of Uriah Heap in my VW Beatle that I just about wore out... played it over and over.....
I bought a couple of progressive jazz albums years ago that were suprisingly impressive one of them was when CDs were first comming out by a group called
Flim and the BBs. these guys are tight.
and put together some of the best upbeat jazz music I have ever listened to.
The other was an album called
" Fresh Aire" by Maniheim Steamroller . that was back when synthisizers and MIDI were comming onto the scene which was impressive at the time and sounded really really good after blazing a big dooby
C.T. :wink:
Manheim Steamroller is an awesome group
Also for progressive or fusion jazz there's always
The Yellowjackets and
Dixie Dregs...
