I couldn't get past the mid scooping and lack of bassist in the mix.

5 pages in

Leslie West mentioned 3x

Keith Richards mentioned 0x


His lyrical guitar solos on the live version of Nantucket Sleighride were a huge influence for me.

I guess that's nod #4 for the big fella

They used this same Intro with a different opening number - Vicious, on their European tour the same year.. and it worked great too..

Btw, Lou Reed hated these 2 live albums, he felt Hunter/Wagner stole his show.. and he was right in a way, but his singing was great too..

There are many artists with a great deal of work that influenced me, but albums are their own works of art. If I had to pick five, it would be as follows:

1: Thousand Foot Krutch - The Art Of Breaking
2: Creed - Weathered
3: The Counting Crows - August And Everything After
4: BTO - Not Fragile
5: Pillar - Where Do We Go From Here

Not necessarily my favourite albums, but at the time they were hugely influential on my electric playing (or more correctly, what I tried to play)

Blow by Blow - Jeff Beck. Of course we all wanted to play 'Cos We've Ended as Lovers', but I LOVED jamming to Freeway Jam.

Can't Buy a Thrill - Steely Dan (My first Steely Dan Album - what on earth are the chords are they playing? Kid Charlemagne came later!)

Caravanseria - Santana - Endless (and I mean endless) two-chord jams on 'Song of the Wind'. We may or may not have been effected)

Greatest Hits - Jimi Hendrix. Nuff said.

A Kind of Blue - Miles Davis. No guitar, but "All Blues" was huge influence on how I thought about playing.

Lots of honourable mentions.

Now, for my acoustic albums.....

For me, it has always been the acoustic guitar and that smoky, late night solo laid back jazz chord melody style ballad playing.

On some rock albums there were the occasional solo acoustic guitar tracks as an oasis amidst the noise such as:

Jefferson Airplane Surrealstic Pillow (Jorma Koukenan)Embryonic Journey
Doobie Brothers Slack Key Soquel Rag and Busted Down Around O'Connely's Corner
Steve Howe on some Yes albums

So my primary influences to get a Telecaster were not just albums, but youtube presence. The Telecaster is not only incredibly easy to play, but has a chime quality that really sounds good with this style.

Ted Greene (album Solo Guitar) and youtube videos
Tim Lerch youtube videos and Truefire courses
Anything with Ed Bickert such as his own bandleader and sideman with Paul Desmond

I dunno, too many albums over too many years. Lots of good ones already listed. I will say this much ...

Some of my favorite guitar albums to listen to have had absolutely zero impact on my playing style. Sonic Youth would be a good example. All those crazy tunings... forget it. Not even gonna try to go there as a player. But I can listen to it all day long.

And I'll acknowledge my #1 most influential album. Goes all the way back to 1971: Alice Cooper's Love It To Death. I was a 14 year old teenager and those long haired dudes on the back cover with the SG's ... Too cool for words. I dabbled in guitar before that, but man, that record made me want to get serious. Went out and got myself an $89 SG knockoff and got to work. I eventually learned to play every single song on that album, and the crazy thing is that almost 50 years later I still remember most of them.

Michael Bruce's big chunky chord work, Glen Buxton's wailing, fuzzed out lead work - sustain forever! Those are two things I still like to hear in rock guitar!

OK, I’m biting on this. Not in any particular order but here we go:

Leslie West Live /Mountain - Mississippi Queen
Ted Nugent - Cat Scratch Fever (Live album it was great)
Led Zepplin - I -IV
Deep Purple - (Hate to admit it - Smoke On The Water)
Vaughn Brothers - Double Trouble
Traveling Wilburys - Vol 1

Threw one bonus album in there for good luck.
