Top 10 Non-Jazz (& non-prog) Artists/Albums

Time to once again, indulge my need for creating lists!

Interested to see what else everyone enjoys - other than our beloved Jazz that is (but also aside from Prog too, as there's much discussion of that on PA) so how about it - your ten fav Artists/Albums in other genres?

Today, these ten perhaps, and in no order. I may add albums to these later:

Van Morrison - Astral Weeks
Roy Harper - Stormcock
Mr Bungle - California
Faith No More - Angel Dust
Bjork - Homogenic
Ani DiFranco - Out of Range
Led Zeppelin - Houses of the Holy
The Birthday - Night on Fool
Marvin Gaye - What's Going On
Lucio Battisti - Amore e non Amore

Geeze, that was tough. Hard to match my old favourites against newer joys. Oh well, perhaps I need to do some Honourable Mentions or something.

Yeah, I agree - Roy & Bungle are most definitely progressive (while not being 'classic prog') - perhaps I ought to have put 'classic' prog up in the title?

Some classics here especially, Sean: (on a related note, what did you think of 'Painkiller' by Judas Priest?)

RHCP - SBSMagik
Judas Priest - Sad Wings Of Destiny
Ten Years After - Cricklewood Green (kind of psych-prog blues, but wtf)

Jacques Brel sounds interesting - what other favourites of his do you have? I'm going to check out 'Brel' later tomorrow

Beatles, Abbey Road

Bob Dylan, Blood On The Tracks

"Black Tie White Noise" is a jazz album   and a damn good one too.

I feel it might just be underrated too? Despite all the Plant-isms from Coverdale, Bolin's guitar introduced some great changes on that album

I felt that "Love Don't Mean A Thing" and "Holy Man" were the music with the element of the R & B about "Stormbringer". And I felt "This Time Around/Owed To 'G' "about "Come Taste The Band" when a new trial and the part which evolved were included for a band in particular.

I think that solo album is good about the performance of Tommy Bolin. And I think that the performance that I performed is famous for an album of Billy Cobham for the fan of Tommy Bolin.

I remembered that John said that "Made in Japan "was an album with the elements of the jazz before. My memory may be wrong. Or I do not yet have that I ask about the real intention.
