What piece of music from any music genre do you consider to be a Masterpiece? - SteveO - 06-05-2011
Greetings my fellow music lovers !
My masterpiece is: Keith Jarrett - The Koln Concert (1975).
Mr. Jarrett mesmerizes the listener with a fascinating improvised journey on solo piano for over an hour. He treats us with snippets of jazz, classical, rock, gospel and blues to produce a fascinating kaleidoscope of soundscapes. You never really know what's coming next. This album should be listened to alone in a dark or dim lit room on headphones to appreciate the full effect of this Masterpiece.
Take note music lovers, there is no such animal as the BEST MASTERPIECE! Everyone's choice is a personal one and cannot be exposed to scrutiny or criticism.
I am starting this discussion in hopes that we will share great music with each other. Some of the choices will be familiar to us all, some will not be and some will be ones we initially dismissed because we really "didn't get it " the first time around.
This discussion is intended primarily for music information. The choices are not restrictive in that they can come from any music genre.
I can't wait to see what you great folks come up with !

Hey Jerome,
This is exactly why I started this discussion ! I wanted to get some masterpieces that I have never heard of before and now I can check out Mike Batt and Sixto Rodriquez. I'm familiar with Shawn Phillips but I haven't listened to him since the 70s.
Thanks Jerome.
All great choices folks !

Woodface- Crowded House
Jerome's choice of "infidels" by Bob Dylan is a worthy choice, whether you like Dylan or not.
The Blurred Crusade- The Church
Whats Going On- Marvin Gaye
Innervisions- Stevie Wonder
Going Out In Style- Dropkick Murphys...only a year old but a great punk album
Murder Ballads- Nick Cave
