    Thanks @mclaincausey. Clearly you're a man of fine taste 😃

    There's so much of Zappa that I love and still some that I have a hard time listening to. But certainly as a composer and on the guitar he was incredible. Joe's is another favorite of mine but also dig his jazzy stuff on waka/jawaka, the classical side on yellow shark, and pretty much everything where he shuts up and plays his guitar including that album. Muffin man, black napkin, watermelon in Easter hay, peaches, gumbo variations, green genes, rdnzl, Montana, etc. His catalog is so impressive and varied.

    If there was a good thing about pandemic, it was having a lot of time to explore lots of music I missed when I was younger due to different priorities.

    For me, while I can't say those sounds above are my top 5 they are certainly some favorites. Specifically, I like albums that work and evolve from beginning to end of possible tell a longer story. In particular I've always thought the opening track on that black Sabbath album is the best album opening ever which is partly why I picked it over paranoid which has a couple more of my favorite songs.

      [mention]pechelman [/mention] [mention]mclaincausey [/mention] Zappa is definitely an acquired taste. I couldn’t really get on to him until I heard joes garage. That album is great. I remember having Little Green Rosetta played at my wedding. Dance floor cleared of course but i it’s such a great tune!

                @Bored In Breck - Nice that the Descendents made the list. Saw them live this summer, I really enjoyed that.

                And I missed the post by @GardenState - OTMAPP, hell yeah!

                  The ATDI, HWM and Avail were all in heavy, heavy rotation for me during my college years. And of course Descendents, albeit a bit earlier for me. Nostalgic picks right there!

                    top 5 music
                    pixies - trompe le monde
                    sonic youth - daydream nation
                    nomeansno - small parts isolated and destroyed
                    the fall - perverted by language
                    melvins - bullhead

                    those albums are closest to my heart, could fit at least another 50 that also move me every time they i hear them. music is fantastic, although (IMO) definitely not going in the right direction.

                          I'd probably have a different list 15 minutes from now, but off the top of my head:
                          5. The Smiths - The Queen is Dead
                          4. Depeche Mode - Violator(maybe Music for the Masses)
                          3. The Clash - London Calling
                          2. Sisters of Mercy - First and Last and Always
                          1. Danzig - Lucifuge

                            So hard to choose, too many great bands, albums but here's the 5 albums I'd carry with me for a road trip:
                            High on Fire: Death is this Communion
                            The Sword: Gods of the earth
                            Doomriders: Darkness come alive
                            Red Fang: Murder the mountains
                            Nofx: Single Album

                                        Great shit; Lucero just dropped a new one this week, great live band! Fugazi was absolutely formative for me. Their shows were so great. I really loved their label in general, lots of great bands on Dischord.

                                        Think it, be it.
