Lines: 26 After failing utterly to recognize either title or artist of about 90% of recently-posted "classic albums," I decided to give this a try myself. So, in no particular order: King Crimson (the one with a "screaming face") Wheels of Fire - Cream Blows Against the Empire - Jefferson Starship Strange Days - Doors Empty Rooms - John Mayall December's Children - Stones 12x5 - Stones Ball & Chain - Janis Joplin Tommy - Who Whichever Jimi Hendrix album contains "Little Wing" Notice that I call these "indispensible" rather than "classic." (I would not presume to assign such a weighty label.) By "indispensible," I mean "better be there when needed." Either: 1) I am too old for this net; 2) Persons posting "classic albums" are being deliberately obscure and esoteric; or 3) The word "classic" is being seriously misused. W. Christensen
