Subject:Re: top ten albums - al kooper

I imagine most people on the list are aware of it, but apropos of this thread I thought I'd note that Al Kooper published his own "100 Greatest Recordings Of All Time", which can be found on the web (http://www.alkooper.com/hot100.html). His top 10 (bear in mind, singles and albums qualify for his list):

1. PET SOUNDS (BOX SET) - BEACH BOYS
2. SONGS FOR SWINGIN' LOVERS - FRANK SINATRA
3. WALL OF SOUND - PHIL SPECTOR BOX SET
4. SGT. PEPPER - THE BEATLES
5. THE NIGHTFLY - DONALD FAGEN
6. GRACELAND - PAUL SIMON
7. WHAT'S GOIN' ON - MARVIN GAYE
8. KIND OF BLUE - MILES DAVIS
9. REVOLVER - THE BEATLES
10. GOOD VIBRATIONS - BEACH BOYS* (single)
