From the Beginning - Emerson, Lake and Palmer
Best list yet. It was hard not to vote for Bama, but From the Beginning is one of the best things ever recorded.
-
Smoke on the Water - Deep Purple
I'm a ELP guy myself
Need more thought
-
Reelin' in The Years - Steely Dan
Also, one of the great earlier synth rock records.
Had a hard time with this year. Exile especially puts me in a quandary since it's my favorite album of any genre, but the riffing is more Yella centric vs what the plebes here want to see.

From the Beginning - Emerson, Lake and Palmer
Greg Lake had some mad skills. That's him doing everything but the congas and synth.
-
Just Got Paid - ZZ Top
That is a killer list…I had every one of these recordings (album/45/8 track), sans In the Street, in 1972 (got into Big Star later)…I’d like to thank Columbia House for building my music collection, for 1 cent…

Reelin' in The Years - Steely Dan
Big Star is a cult band that know one knew at the time.
I have everything here on 33.333 LP except for Edgar Winter. Have some Johnny Winter on vinyl though.

From the Beginning - Emerson, Lake and Palmer
Columbia House and some other one I can't remember the name of. I used both 3 or 4 times for a total of about 80 disks.
Anyone have an address? I should probably send them a check some day before I die.

Smoke on the Water - Deep Purple
This isn’t hard. Smoke is arguably the most recognizable riff of all time. Its fucked out big time but I was just at our high school basketball game and they played it. 52 years later

Reelin' in The Years - Steely Dan
It’s also a song about my avatar.

Smoke on the Water - Deep Purple
I tend to vote for what is presented, but Black Sabbath “Supernsut” is up there.
-
Smoke on the Water - Deep Purple
nor is Snowblind but Tomorrows Dream might be my fave off Vol. 4

Smoke on the Water - Deep Purple
Even if you couldn't play the guitar which most people can't you could do the lick. @Joey convinced me and reminded me
-
Reelin' in The Years - Steely Dan
Yeah, I need to offer my mea culpa on Sabbath 4 here which @Joey I should say is my 2nd favorite album of theirs.
I think I had been Sabbath heavy in 1970 and 71 and lost track for 72.
#PerfectionIsTheEnemyOfGood is my motto!

Reelin' in The Years - Steely Dan
I mean it's probably it's probably on the Mt Rushmore of most recognizable heavy rock riffs.
I chose Steely Dan because of how technically gifted the playing is.
Jimmy Page said at the time that Elliott Randall's (sessions player) playing on Reelin' in the Years was 12/10.
-
Smoke on the Water - Deep Purple
Dammit, Yella. Make yer mind up on technically gifted playing. Didn't you flip me shit about that same point when I mocked that Nirvana song?
-
Reelin' in The Years - Steely Dan
Technically gifted Steely Dan jazzy rock »»» Technically Gifted Metal shredding.

You had your Edgar Winter opportunity here @PurpleThrobber
