Everyone shift down a bit, Kev's joining us.

... Go figure.

exactly ... but its fun to debate.

personally, i think the single most influential album of all time is this ...

maybe this one will "accidentally" slip through too ...

Sometimes albums connect to one generation. I think Alanis' big album may find the same fate as Tapestry, and I think they are comparable. Both are women-empowered themed, but during different stages historically.

great comparison. the "influential" thing about Tapestry is that it was the first. and its also a great album - with hits like It's Too Late, I Feel the Earth Move (Under My Feet), You've Got a Friend and the song which was Aretha Frankin's anthem, (You Make Me Feel) Like a Natural Woman. check it out, if ya dont know it. along with Joni Mitchell's Blue.

lists like this are always open to debate but the more i look at it, the more i sense there are a number of entries on it where they wanted to pay tribute to an influential artist, but they couldnt figure out which album to recognize, so they just picked their biggest seller or whatever - like SANTANA - SUPERNATURAL, PEARL JAM - TEN, DMB - CRASH, and WTF?? ELVIS PRESLEY - ELVIS AT SUN (2004??!!??). I'd suggest that DMB's debut, Under The Table and Dreaming was much more influential (legitimizing pop jam) and what's with Elvis's 'most influential' album being a retrospective collection released 50 years after their recordings? That's just stupid. And Dylan's Blood on the Tracks (#157) is less influential than Matchbox Twenty (#91)?

Check out another list from 2006 for a different view of 50 albums that changed music.

tapestry was one of the first female singer-songwriter albums that was huge. it was really successful when released - grammy's, etc - and its one of the biggest selling albums of all time. i think its credited with opening doors for other women in a major way.

0/1 ... but the woman beside me won, although she secreted it away so I couldnt see. must have been a car.
