Well, now that UFO is on the board, might as well take their seminal live album:

20.13 Strangers in the Night (Live) - UFO (1979)

[overkill94]

Screw it, I'll take a Rush album after all:

21.13 Fly by Night - Rush (1975)

It's got three of my absolute favorites by them - the title track, "Anthem", and the epically ridiculous "By-tor and the Snow Dog". The rest of the songs are pretty solid as well as this was their best Zeppelin-worship.

[Mithrandir]

18th round pick

Don't Look Back - Boston (1978)

I prefer this to the original by a bit. Especially Side 2.

[Mithrandir]

Another from Boston: My favorite on the album

[Mithrandir]

19th Round pick (I don't think was picked)

Queen - Queen (1973)

Best Queen song is the first song on the first album "Keep Yourself Alive"

[Mithrandir]

Skip my next two and i will make them up. Very busy at work right now.

[BuckyBuckner]

21st round Plastic Letters - Blondie (1977)

There have been two Blondie albums picked so far but this is actually my favorite. Allmusic doesn't like it but I love the energy.

[BuckyBuckner]

22nd round Burrito Deluxe - The Flying Burrito Brothers (1970)

The followup to their 1969 debut album, it's not quite as good but it's still a damn fine album. This is Gram Parsons' third band in three years and wherever he goes he becomes the focal point of the band. Either he was a self centered bastard or one of the more talented musicians of the time. I'm inclined to go with the latter.

It also should be in the running for the worst album cover ever.

[Lucky]

21.05 I'm Still In Love With You - Al Green (1972)

[revo]

21st Round - "Cheap Trick at Budokan," Cheap Trick (1978)
I'm surprised this one didn't go during the top 15 rounds, as it was a monumental live album.

22nd Round - "Shakedown Street," Grateful Dead (1978)

[chancellor]

Getting caught up...lessee. Like I'm gonna leave a draft without a Phil Keaggy LP. Nah, I don't think so. This group, Glass Harp, made 3 LPs in the early '70s before Keaggy went solo and the bassist, Dan Pecchio, was the bassist for the Michael Stanley Band. My favorite is

21st pick 1 - Glass Harp - Glass Harp (1970)

Look In the Sky below, probably showcases some of Keaggy's talent the best:
