Thread Name: Most Influential Album?
Subject: RE: Most Influential Album?
Gotta agree with Marty Gibby on the KT's first and subsequent albums-but the first was a monster chart-wise. And they just got better until they went out of style. Revolutionized the recording industry with albums instead of singles, saved CF Martin's bacon, made Seeger longnecks a fashion statement and while the road to them may have been hoed by the likes of the Weavers and Gateway Singers, they paved the road for PP&M, Limeliters, Journeymen, Bros 4, and even Baez, Dylan, Collins, Lightfoot on and on. And they never recorded "Guantanamera". Heck, even Lindsey Buckingham aped them and we're talking freakin' Fleetwood Mac here. Wanna good Xmas Cd? Try "The Last Month of the Year" by Guard/Shane/Reynolds. Nothing like it out there.
