At least 3 people in the Led Zeppelin thread said Zep II was their first album. What were some of your first albums, if you can still remember, and how do you feel about them today?
Three that pop to my mind from my undergrad days at UNC are
Cheap Thrills - Big Brother and the Holding Company (Janis Joplin)
It's a Beautiful Day - It's A Beautiful Day
First Taste - Potliquor
I figure most people know the first one, but the others are worth checking out. Although the style of It's a Beautiful Day (and maybe the others, too, for all I know) are out of vogue, I think all 3 have held up quite well.
First album was a K-tel greatest hits album with such hits as “Rock the boat”, “Spiders and snakes” and a Lobo song. Rick Derringer, too.
