Bachman Turner Overdrive - any, although the first album would be interesting with the progression from The Guess Who and Brave Belt
You might want to check out Randy Bachman's concert dvd "Every Song Tells A Story". As the title suggests he tells a little something about each song before he (and the back-up band) performs them. Not quite a "Classic Album" but better than nuthin'. I found mine for $6.99 in a discount bin. Also, The Turtles "Happy Together-the Hits...the History...the Humor" dvd is pretty entertaining. Again, not a CA but...

Colin, definitely not. S&G were a little bit before my time. However being a HUGE music fan, I was surprised that I had no idea about the rift between the two.

Pearl Jam - Ten (if for nothing but its huge influence on many artists from the 90's)

Yeah, I'd definitely welcome a PJ "Ten" release. It kinda surprising that they haven't covered it yet, especially since they've already done "Nevermind."

Duran Duran's Seven And The Ragged Tiger. By the time they started recording they were the hottest pop group in the world, flew to exotic locales to record and shoot their music videos, so it might be interesting to learn something about their creative process amidst all the hype and hoopla. And there was some story about how the title track had to be dropped, much to their regret, for some reason which I can't remember.

I know, a bit 'flaky' compared to the other choices. For similar reasons, and since it was my first 'favourite album', Spandau Ballet's True, though I don't think True's story would be as colourful as Ragged Tiger's.

Seven and the Ragged Tiger would be good, as would Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, although I bet Technical Ecstasy or Never Say Die would make for great docs due to the chaotic state of the band at that time.

If they're going to cover Sabbath, wouldn't they cover the most popular (and best) Sabbath album - Paranoid? Even their debut album would be more appropriate, as it is a classic in its own right (and, in most minds, rivals their sophomore effort).

What I think would be cool and what would be lucrative for them to actually release are two entirely different threads.

I'd love to see The Beatles Let It Be, except it would be too one sided, with John Lennon gone from the scene. Let It Be, the Film, would cover that album nicely, come to think of it.

In that case, The White Album would be great. The band was totally at odds (worse than Let It Be, I think) - each song only has one Beatle playing on it, maybe two, never three or four. They had session musicians to cover the other instruments. I don't think John or Paul were in the same song at all. Plus with all that Manson madness, it would make for a great DVD.

The White Album would be minus John in new interviews, but I'm sure they have archival footage from that time period (1968).

What puzzles me (a little off-topic) is how they couldn't get it together for the White Album, but came together in a big way with Hey Jude during that same period (Hey Jude was not a song from that album). Remember - The White Album was released in December, 1968, so it was essentially a 1969 album.

Uh, you know George isn't with us anymore either, right? I hope I'm not the bearer of bad tidings...
