Ahh, bitten by the monster of love. The '80s weren't complete without it.Originally Posted by IowaRed
Ever listen to the Plagiarism CD Sparks put out in '98, where they did covers of a bunch of their own tunes including Angst? They get symphonic in it. Pure genius.
I'm not a system player. I am a system.
Good list. I've always been a big UO fan. I've seen them a couple times. There's a band that knew what it meant to be "rock stars".
I miss em.
School's out. What did you expect?
Now that I think about it, if we're going to include compilations I think I prefer "Louder than Bombs" to "The Queen is dead"
School's out. What did you expect?
No one does matching turtlenecks anymore. What's with that?
I'm not a system player. I am a system.
Not to mention the fact that "Blackie Onasis" may well be the greatest rock n roll name ever.
School's out. What did you expect?
How could I have forgotten that one? Excellent choice!
Nothing to see here. Please disperse.
Just off the top of my head --
"Before These Crowded Streets" - Dave Matthews Band (Not a single track on the disc that I skip -- "Crush", "Don't Drink the Water", and "Stay" are all among my favorite songs ever recorded)
"The Magical Mystery Tour" - The Beatles ("Penny Lane", "I am the Walrus" and "All You Need is Love" on the same disc)
"Echo, Echo" - Carbon Leaf (Their later album "Indian Summer" had a more polished sound, but this was where they really fused celtic and folk rock together)
"Who's Next" - The Who ("Baba O'Reily" and "Behind Blue Eyes" would put this in the top ten even if the rest of the disc was static)
"In Between Now & Then" - O.A.R. (Their most complete disc, starts off strong and has some great jam tracks)
"Drunken Lullabies" - Flogging Molly ("Another Bag of Bricks" is their best track so far, and the rest of the disc has amazing energy)
"Liquid Swords" - The GZA (No rap or hip-hop CD I've ever listened to even comes close to the quality of this. The wordplay and rhyming is fantastic and the beats are amazing)
"Kind of Blue" - Miles Davis (Pure genius.)
"Achtung Baby" - U2 (Everything since this disc has been way too poppy and overproduced for U2. They still had a lot of their charm with this album)
"Stankonia" - Outkast ("Bombs Over Baghdad" -- who'd have thought it'd still be relevant in 2007)
HONORABLE MENTION:
"Continuum" - John Mayer (absolutely one of the best albums I've ever heard, but so new that I can't justify it in the top-10)
"The Lillywhite Sessions" - Dave Matthews Band (unreleased album that would've featured all the best tracks off "Busted Stuff" plus the incredible JTR)
"Definately Maybe" - Oasis ("Live Forever" and "Supersonic" are amazing, but I'm not sure that "Don't Believe the Truth" or "The Masterplan" aren't better albums)
"Doggystyle" - Snoop Dogg (still one of the best "banger" rap albums ever produced)
"Stop Making Sense" - Talking Heads (sounds current, even 2 decades later)
Cincinnati Reds: Farm System Champions 2022

Joy Division--Unknown Pleasures
Elvis Costello & the Attractions--This Year's Model

Try as I might, I can't wear out these albums.

Crap, Cyclone, I was something of a child of the 90s myself and this still makes me feel old.
There is no such thing as a pitching prospect.
I thought ten albums would be easier than ten songs, but I CAN'T DO IT. I actually did 50 albums once and that was hard enough.
There is no such thing as a pitching prospect.
Good list. Second edition has about the best beginning of a program ever - Wobble's distorted bass and JL wailing about "getting rid of the albatross...". Intense.
Which is why it's impossible to list your top ten. But I'll give it a try, and not in any particular orderYep, there's some I left off and could have included.
Revolver - Beatles
Rubber Soul - Beatles
Who's Next - Who
Led Zeppelin I
Dark Side Of The Moon - Pink Floyd
Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs - Derek and the Dominos
Machine Head - Deep Purple
Rocks - Aerosmith
