Has phoneydreamtime had too many buds ???? you frgot this one.................. Catholic Boy ... The Jim Carroll Band

The first post in this thread had Paul's Boutique by the Beastie Boys at no. 1. That is a brilliant choice. The album is horribly underrated -- a work of genius, and while it requires two or three listens to appreciate, I would recommend it highly. Somewhere on the net, there is a site dedicated to the album where all of the samples and references are catalogued. It is insane.

My 10 (no order):

Stones - Exile
Beatles - White Album
Dylan - Blood on the Tracks
Radiohead - Kid A
Pearl Jam Live at the Budokan, Tokyo
Beasties - Paul's Boutique
Ramones - Rocket to Russia
Clash - London Calling
Springsteen - Born to Run
Rod Stewart - Every Picture Tells a Story

Good call on Catholic Boy-I alomst put that in my top 10,certainly top 20.

NO. Not @#$%& OK Computer. That CD sucks SO hard.

JumpingKentFlash

not necessarily the 10 "best", but 10 albums, i'd have packed
in my suitcase, if i was getting on a plane, with
those guys from that addictive tv show, "Lost" :-


The Gilded Palace Of Sin- The Flying Burrito Bros
England's Newest Hitmakers- The Rolling Stones
The Chirping Crickets- Buddy Holly and The Crickets
A Ghost Is Born- Wilco
Batchelor No.2 - Aimee Mann
Sound Of Lies- The Jayhawks

Derek & the Dominoes w/ Eric Clapton: Live at the Fillmore

Madonna: The Immaculate Collection

Red Hot Chili Peppers: My own 2-CD greatest hits because none of their albums are quite in the league of these listed although Californication comes real close

Selecting the 10th album is tough, but at the end of the day I'm going with:

The Moody Blues: To Our Children's Children's Children....

Interesting that of these 10 albums, there's really not one bad song... how rare is that these days ???

My favourite 10 (right now):

Some Girls - The Rolling Stones
Piledriver - Status Quo
Blood On The Tracks - Bob Dylan
New York - Lou Reed
Pink Moon - Nick Drake
Griveous Angel - Gram Parsons
Farther Along - The Byrds
Sonic Temple - The Cult
