    Rick - I'm just waiting for the hip-hop/rap recommendations for you from our younger crew. :D

    Those folks would probably like my UB40 choice. UB40's early stuff was phenomenal. Sadly, they later went the disco/top-40/hip-hop route...

    Steely Dan- Aja
    The Allman Brothers -Live at Fillmore East.

    Anything by Miles Davis.

    This is a really great album by Larry Carlton. Sapphire Blue.

    Here is the title track:Dailymotion - Larry Carlton & Sapphire Blues Band - Sapphire Blue - a Music video

    I hope someone out there enjoys it as much as I do. The whole album is just amazing!

    Hello again:

    I didn't mention the Doobs, but they're actually my favorite band of all time. That is except for my prison band, "Not Guilty & The Frameups". I couldn't pick a particular album, though. I love 'em ALL.

    Loving you, excon! The Doobs were the first concert I ever saw: Saw them in '77 or '78 when I was in 6th grade. Foreigner opened for them in their first tour... and they got booed off the stage.

    I might mention also that on that night I first smelled pot. Couldn't help it since everyone was smokin it :)

    I like a lot of different types of music. Don't really have those that I would call my "favorites". Perhaps, "preferred" might be a better term. "Best" would depend on who was performing and how it was performed.

    Grew up with music from the late 1960's through mid-1970's. Like a lot of pop, rock and jazz. Perform mainly classical, jazz and music having to do with the Christian religion. Have played a lot of gigs...

    When by myself, prefer to listen to early types of music and folk...

    Here's one.
