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 !

Old Geezer Steve

after thinking about it for about three hours i'd have to say:

The Wall-Pink Floyd

Love Over Gold- Dire Straits

Graceland-Paul Simon

Bob Dylan/The Times They-are-a-Changing/Freewheelin'-Bob Dylan

Neil Young - Harvest
Jean Michel Jarre - Oxygene
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
Kansas - Two for the Show (live album) - and the 30th anniversary edition is even better!
Bob Dylan - Infidels
The Band - Music from Big Pink (title???)
Shawn Phillips - both (Faces & Second Contribution)
Sixto Rodriguez - Cold Fact (get it boys and girls -you won't be sorry)

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 !

SteveO

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
