Readers’ Rock List: Final Albums

Last week, saddened by the sudden breakup of Be Your Own Pet, we asked our readers to tell us their favorite final albums. After counting the votes, the Beatles‘ Abbey Road — released before but recorded after Let It Be — was the runaway winner, edging swan song albums by Hendrix, Nirvana and many more. And while Velvet Underground’s Loaded and the Doors‘ L.A. Woman both made the top 10, we had to disqualify them as neither is technically a last album (Both Squeeze and Full Circle sadly count.) For the list of your favorite 15, check below: 1. The Beatles - Abbey Road 2. Jimi Hendrix Experience - Electric Ladyland 3. Nirvana - In Utero 4. Sublime - Sublime 5. Nick Drake - Pink Moon 6. Joy Division - Closer 7. Soundgarden - Down on the Upside 8. The Police - Synchronicity 9. Uncle Tupelo - Anodyne 10. Pantera - Reinventing the Steel 11. Tupac Shakur - The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory 12. Bob Marley and the Wailers - Uprising 13. The Smiths - Strangeways Here We Come 14. Jeff Buckley - Grace 15. Simon & Garfunkel - Bridge Over Troubled Water

Jack Bruce Wants More Cream Reunion Gigs

Cream bassist Jack Bruce says that he and Eric Clapton will meet up with drummer Ginger Baker on October 3rd when Baker is given Zildjian’s Drummers Achievement Award at the Royal Albert Hall in London. As for another possible reunion for the “Sunshine of Your Love” trio, Bruce says “‘Cause I’m only the bass player, I can’t say for sure. I know there’s a good chance we may play at that event … but I don’t want to overstate it and make it into something it isn’t.” The band last reformed in 2005 for a run of concerts in London and New York. “I think there might be a chance of some more,” Bruce tells Billboard.com. “I would like to do some more, ’cause I enjoyed it. It was very emotional. I would like another shot at it.” The main roadblock in another Cream reunion is location and timing, as Baker lives in South Africa and Clapton is always on the move, as evidenced by the recent Blind Faith get-together. As for the Zildjian show, the Jimi Hendrix Experience’s Mitch Mitchell will also be honored, with Jason Bonham and the Killers‘ Ronnie Vannucci among those performing. [Photo: Getty]
