I'm on a road trip with my oldest friend. We came of age in the 1970s. Yesterday while I drove, my friend picked out entire albums to play on Spotify. Hint, we are closeminded old men who would never consider playing an album released after, say, 1983.
Name the albums he chose. For first correct guess on each album, 1000 sats reward. I think there were around 6 in total. Hint - no Beatles albums were played.
Zeppelin I?
No, but that's one of my all time favorites.
Presence?
The Song Remains the Same?
I feel like there were hints that there was gonna be some zeppelin here, but I think we’ve eliminated every zeppelin album before ‘76 (the “classic” era), right?
Yes. There is no Zeppelin on the list. Sorry if I was misleading.
No, that’s cool. I was just starting to feel like I was missing a big one.
Paul Simon by Paul Simon
Nope
Aqualung
No. I was a huge fan of that album
Rolling Stones - Exile on Main St. 1972
You got it!
I was about to name every single album through '83. LMAO
Ahhh, I was thinking about this one. But Siggy said "close" to Let it Bleed and "damn close" to Some Girls, so I was thinking it'd be closer to late 70s / early 80s. Maybe I was overthinking it
Those were some solid hints. There's gotta be a Metallica or Joe Cocker album in there somewhere! Lol
I thought of that. I'm now setting a limit of two guesses per post
Torn & Frayed is a masterpiece
Congrats
Pink Floyd Ummagumma or Animals
Animals is the second correct guess
I Almost guessed Animals too. Great record.
Yes it is
Yes- Close to the Edge
We have a winner! Grayruby did his homework and made a logical choice.
Thanks!
That’s a great album!
Greatest Hits I by Queen
No, and no Greatest Hits albums were played
Hell yeah!

Steely Dan - Aja
Good album, but no.
So... Boomers on a road trip, and you play music from the 70s... Kraftwerk - Autobahn of course.
Too bad you don't do 80s because then you would have had Chris Rea haha
No Kraftwerk. We are more US rock oriented.
Of course; I didn't really do a serious entry. But I hope I pulled your leg with Chris Rea a bit too so that at least you're not skipping around imbalanced.
Funny story. One kid in our dorm had a Kraftwerk album. I think Trans Europe Express. Some one melted it with a cigarette lighter and threw it out the window.
correction: what happened to the guy who melted the album?
I don't care about the Kraftwerk kid
What do you mean happened? We all cheered and carried him around the halls on our shoulders. You mean discipline? Nah. It was anarchic back then.
lololol
I should have been more clear: what happened to him after graduation? did he become a Senator or governor?
I like the cigarette lighter guy, sounds like my kind of guy
I lost touch with him. I think he was a corporate finance guy
whatever happened to that kid? serious question...
this made me lol literally
Haha. My cousin was a Lennon maxi. Now he's into Frankie Ruiz. Some things just don't improve no matter how much time passes.
