Top 10 of all time.

[troubado]

If you're done listing the top 10 of 2003....

List your top 10 favorite records of all time -

I haven't seen a thread like that before here so I thought I would start one up.

[Robotnik]

Having a top 10 of anything limits your possibilities, IMHO.

well, sure, obviously you like more than 10 records, but just for fun. If you just had to pick 10 records to play in eternity. How bout' that.

[dtobocman]

Beatles White Album.

That's all I'm saying for now...

[chrisso]

I'll be a sucker......
Gratitude - Earth, Wind & Fire
Spectrum - Billy Cobham
A Wizard, A True Star - Todd Rundgren
First Circle - Pat Metheny Group
Ginger - Speedy J
Headhunters - Herbie Hancock
Anthology - Steve Miller
P Funk Earth Tour - Parliament/Funkadelic
Azymuth - Azymuth (Kenny Wheeler, Norma Winstone & John Taylor)
The Mix - Kraftwerk
Young & Rich - The Tubes

That's 11 in no particular order.

[Steve Smith]

Lyle Lovett, Joshua Judges Ruth to start..

Unless we are talking about what top ten we would play on the radio, at which point I woul dchoose the ten I get the most royalties from.

[120 dB]

Mellon Collie & The Infinite Sadness by The Pumpkins would be somewhere on my Top 10...the other 9? beats me. too many to pick from.

[doorknocker]

In no particular order:

- Jimi Hendrix Experience- Electric Ladyland
- Led Zeppelin- Houses of the holy
- Jeff Buckley- Grace
- The Beatles- Abbey Road

- The best of Muddy Waters
- Steely Dan- Aja

[CV7]

I'll list my top five:

Pink Floyd - Darkside of the Moon
Pink Floyd - The Wall
Pink Floyd - Animals
Zep - Houses of the Holy
STP - Core

[ttauri]

I have a definite favorite song of all time:

"Anitina (The First Time I See She Dance)" by MARRS (it was the b-side to "Pump Up The Volume"--a unique blend of beats, dubby bass, heavy feedback guitar, and 4ADishness)

Albumwise, there's three that pretty consistently remain in consideration: Pete Rock & CL Smooth's Mecca & The Soul Brother, New Order's Power, Corruption, and Lies, and Massive Attack's Blue Lines.

Beyond that, ca depend.

Peece,
T. Tauri

[C.Lambrechts]

Frank Sinatra with the Count Basie Orchestra double CD ... that one counts for at least 10

[entropy]

ok...

smashing pumpkins, mellon collie & infinate sadness
the pixies, surfer rosa
the pixies, doolittle
radiohead, ok computer
the beatles, revolver
public enemy, it takes a nation of millions
jay z, the blueprint
the roots, illadelph halflife
stevie wonder, songs in the key of life
lalo schiffrin, enter the dragon

that's a bit of an effort narrowing down to 10, i changed my list at least a dozen times while writing this...... also a mention for the clipse album, lord willin' and marvin gaye, what's going on.

[Greenshoe]

In no particular order my top 10

Beach Boys - Pet Sounds
Derek & the Dominoes - Layla
The Beatles - Revolver
Dr. Dre - Chronic (1992)
Bob Marley - Kaya (not everyone's favorite Bob record, but I love this album)
Bob Dylan - Blood on the Tracks
Stevie Wonder - Innervisions
The Clash - London Calling
Marvin Gaye - What's Goin' On
Guns N' Roses - Appetite for Destruction

Just outside my top 10

ABBA - Greatest Hits compilation
Outkast - Speakerboxx/The Love Below (could be in my top 10 if I'm still listening to it non-stop years from now)
The Beatles - Rubber Soul
Bob Marley - Exodus
Bob Dylan - Blonde on Blonde
Stevie Wonder - Talking Book

[dtobocman]

Wow, 2 votes already for Houses of the Holy, my favorite Led Zep album. I thought I was the only one. Beggars Banquet is my fave Stones too.

Lots of good ones so far. Along with The Beatles White Album, let me add...

Bob Marley -- Natty Dread, Burnin'
Jeff Beck -- Blow By Blow
John Lennon -- Plastic Ono Band
The Who -- Quadrophenia, Who's Next
Nirvana -- Nevermind
Sarah MacLachlan -- Fumbling Toward Ecstacy
Elvis Costello -- hard to choose! Imperial Bedroom? This Year's Model? My Aim is True?
Bob Dylan -- Bringing It, Blonde, 61, Tracks, Planet Waves, someone stop me....

Can't do it. I haven't yet begun!

[denial]

This record just keeps on giving. Always something new to listen to that I didn't hear before and probably encompasses my whole top 10. An absolute masterpiece of depth and creativity:

NINE INCH NAILS - The Fragile

---

Also a brilliant record and a lesson in how you write a love song:

NICK CAVE & THE BAD SEEDS - No More Shall We Part

---

A songwriter with an unmistakable voice and great lyrical stories:

TOM WAITS - Mule Variations.

Wow, Revolver seems to be a popular choice.
I think it might be Macca's favourite Beatles album too.

[jdier]

I actually love these types of lists here, it helps me better understand who the people are who are answering my questions and giving me suggestions.
