Hey -- I'm a Three B's Kind of Guy From Way Back

Okay, everybody's doing this over at Facebook, so I figured I had to.

And don't give me any shit about this -- it's supposed to be the records that influenced the young you the most, not a list of the All-Time Greatest Albums Ever, which is totally different.

BTW, the song above goes out for my friend Nelson Bragg, who knows why. 😎

Great list. A little surprised that there's no album by either the Stones or the Who. And no Soupy Sales ?? :-)

I'm surprised there's no Kinks or Procol Harum. 😎

Or Moby Grape.

1/haven't heard 'it won't be wrong' in a very long time

beatles song title which rhymes is "it won't be long"

beach boys song which comes to mind is 'don't worry baby' - although the verses make clear it is a car crash, not a surprise pregnancy, that is the subject of reassurance in that one

what is surprising to me - given the 3 b's premise - is that sgt pepper's isn't there

2/i don't want to sell my collectible antique vinyl too early, but the midcentury scandinavian furniture situation shows that one can miss the moment - also of course willing buyer with cash in hand is a necessity and it's hard to make predictions, especially about the future - go for it now? a year? two years? any ideas, guys?

I saw this basic nine, slightly different on F/B. I ended up putting pen to paper to figure out my list - among those, "Meet The Beatles" & "Exile On Main Street"
