General Radio Discussion / Re: Poll: Favorite albums

« on: July 29, 2013, 0248 UTC »

With my ever-decreasing attention span, I can't even remember the last time I sat down and listened to an entire album.
Even so, I find it exceedingly difficult to narrow down my choices for best albums.  I know I will want to change it as soon as I click the 'Post' button, but here goes.
No particular order:
Cream - Disraeli Gears
Santana - Moonflower
Led Zep - IV (zoso)
Rolling Stones - Sticky Fingers
The Eagles - Hotel California
Hank Williams - 40 Greatest Hits
Green Day - Dookie
Dire Straits - Brother in Arms
Van Halen - Van Halen
Peter Gabriel - So
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon/Wish You Were Here/The Wall
Jeff Beck - Blow by Blow

S4 to S7 here, seems to be improving.  Low noise floor with the narrow USB filter so decent copy.
Sounds like a repeat of the broadcast from a couple day ago.  'Major Tom' @ 0110z
