29. You're right! I was confusing the two.
The Stiff Little Fingers album I was thinking of is called Go For It, which is not too funny.

18. Joe Walsh...........
used to love Joe with and without 'The James Gang". As a matter of fact I have an autographed copy of 'There Goes the Neighborhood' hanging on my wall. The very first time I took acid was at a James Gang concert..............what a rush.

22. Silly me, thanks.
First time I took acid was also the first time I listened to New Riders of the Purple Sage first album w/Garcia on pedal steel. More than 30 years later I can still FEEL that album coursing through my veins.

17. 'Trout Mask Replica'.......
Captain Beefheart

19. Bless Its Pointed Little Head by Jefferson Airplane
Their most obscure album, but I like the title.

I LOVED the cover of Weasels Ripped My Flesh. It showed a man holding a vicious weasel as if it were an electric shaver and pulling it down his cheek.

I Got Them Old Kozmic Blues Again Mama by Janis Joplin

33. "If you Divorce me Baby who'll get the Truck"
By R W Crouch & the Bum Steers. I bought it because of the cover--a beat up pickup parked in front of the old Divorce Hotel on North Main (Houston).

Not sure if I've ever listened to it.

37. "After Bathing at Baxter's"---Jefferson Airplane...
Untitled---Led Zeppelin

"Golden Shower of Hits"---Circle Jerks

"Daydream Nation"---Sonic Youth

But my all-time favorite? "Here, My Dear" from Marvin Gaye. The joke is that Gaye was ordered to give the profits from his next album to the wife he'd recently divorced. Hence, he gave it the biting title: "Here, My Dear"

I love that!
