10 Albums Which Influenced My Musical Taste: #9- “The Band”- The Band. The self-titled second album by The Band- one of my favorite albums ever. The Band’s first two albums are landmarks in the roots-rock, Americana genre and are among the most influential albums in rock and roll history.

Nothing cheers me up like rolling off my interstate exit to work and pressing play on “The Weight.”
A song that never grows old.
Another album cover, though, where they all sort of look like serial killers, don’t they? lol Except the one that’s smiling. Or maybe smiling makes him seem MORE like a serial killer…. 🙂
The pictures of The Band from that era- remind me of people from another earlier time- certainly not 1968. There is actually a book of photos of them from that era that I need to get now that I think of it.
Yeah, like they almost look like Wild West people, huh? That book of photos is probably fascinating. I LOVE old photographs of people, buildings, cities….
I have looked through the book in bookstores just didn’t pull the trigger.. yes looked out of the late 1800s wild wild west! A lot of the photos were black and white- I love black and white photos!
Absolutely one of my favorites. Man did these guys make great music.
