Jim's #5 Album

This artist was an American musician, singer and songwriter. Despite a limited mainstream exposure of four years, he is widely considered one of the most influential electric guitarists in the history of popular music and one of the most celebrated musicians of the 20th century. This album was recorded to fulfill the band's contract, which stated that they must produce two albums in 1967. Even so, it was not released in the USA until 1968 due to fears that it might disturb the sales of the first album. Noel Redding plays eight string bass on some tracks.
Just before the album's completion, He left the master tapes of side one in a taxi. They were never found again, and thus the A-side had to be mixed again quickly.  In 2003, the album was ranked #82 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.  Jim's number six album is...

Jim's #7 album

Staying in England this is where we will find this legendary band. This album has origins in a rock opera conceived by Pete Townshend called Lifehouse as an attempt to follow Tommy. The ambitious, complex project did not come to fruition at the time and instead, many of the songs written for the project were compiled onto this as a collection of unrelated songs. The album was a critical and commercial success when it was released, and has been certified 3× platinum by the RIAA. It continues to be critically acclaimed and has been reissued on CD several times, adding additional material intended for the Lifehouse project.
Released in 1971, Jim's number seven album is...
