Too hard to pick just 10, let alone just 10 records of any genre. So I will start with “classic” rock and roll (from my formative years - classic to me then and now…) First Tier: David Bowie – Ziggy Stardust Beatles – Magical Mystery Tour Cat Stevens – Tea For The Tillerman Fleetwood Mac – Then Play On Jimi Hendrix – Electric Ladyland Led Zeppelin – III Rod Stewart – The Rod Stewart Album T Rex – Electric Warrior The Who – Who’s Next Yes – Fragile (I would include just about all Beatles albums in first tier – MMT perhaps my favorite for sentimental reasons.) Second Tier (some additional classics that I would also try to smuggle onto the desert island): Alice Cooper – Killer Allman Brothers – Live At The Fillmore Atomic Rooster – In Hearing Of Bad Finger – No Dice Blue Cheer - OutsideInside Jeff Beck – Truth Black Sabbath – Paranoid Bob Dylan – Blonde on Blonde Cat Stevens – Tea For The Tillerman Cream – Disraeli Gears/Wheels of Fire Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young – Déjà Vu Fleetwood Mac – Kiln House Genesis – Selling England By The Pound Grand Funk – Grand Funk (Red Album) Jimi Hendrix – Band of Gypsys James Gang – Rides Again Jethro Tull – Stand Up Mott the Hoople – All The Young Dudes King Crimson – Red Steppenwolf - Steppenwolf Spirit – The 12 Dreams of Doctor Sardonicus Traffic – John Barleycorn Must Die Some “box” sets: Brian Eno - Box 1/Box 2 Led Zeppelin – Complete Studio Works Neil Young – Decade Rolling Stones – The Singles Roxy Music – The Thrill Of It All Simon and Garfunkel – Collected Works Steely Dan – Citizen Steely Dan Plus all the other albums that escape my memory at the time.
have you heard any music past 1975? [/quote] From the looks of my list, it doesn't look like it, does it? But I was trying to think of what some of the earlier music I listened to as teen (and pre-teen), that must have impressed me because I still like it. And If I HAD to pick only 10 discs to bring to a desert island, many of those would likely be among them. The list includes stuff that I just don't get tired of hearing ever. I can't say the same for much of the more recent stuff I have, and like, but they just don't hold the same attraction for me. I probably have WAY too many cds, spanning just about all musical genres (though mostly rock, jazz, and classical), and spanning from the 60's to the present. I just checked my iTunes library on my hard drive where I have downloaded part of my cd collection and it tells me that I have 65.7 days of music on it. i am sure others have more on their iPods, but I can put that on random play and it keeps me humming along. Hey, what the heck? No Ted Nugent on my list!
That Rolling Stones Singles collection is a must have! I was actually gonna put that on my top 10, but I thought it was cheating, though it looks like everyone else broke the rules...
i dont want to get all high fidelity on your ass, but it's a fundamental that you are not allowed ANY best of or collections !
Better Late than Never These are my top 10 favorites, in order. Nas "Illmatic" Led Zepplin "Led Zepplin" Beastie Boys "Paul's Boutique" Damian Marley "Welcome to Jamrock" David Bowie "Ziggy Stardust" Paul Simon "Graceland" Agustus Pablo "King Tubby Meets Rockers Uptown" The Doors "LA Woman" Nine Inch Nails "The Downward Spiral" DJ Shadow "Endtroducing" A bit from a few genres, I thought about my list for a while, and this is what I came up with.
10 favorite albums I can think of (I can't believe how out of touch I am right now): 1. IDAHO- "alas" (anything by them/him) 2. Dinosaur Jr- "bug" (anything full-length after bug--not including their latest) 3. Sigur Ros ( ) 4. Mew -(frengers and/or the glass handed kites) 5. Cheer Chen "groupies" 6. Seam "are you driving me crazy?" 7. Pixies - "dolittle" 8. Cap'n Jazz "Analphabetapolothology" 9. Cocteau Twins "four calendar cafe" 10. Starflyer 59 "Americana"
