Guys,
I think we need a forum CD list - the idea is these are 10 CDs which everyone on the forum should buy/own/listen to at least once.
They should be classics - music which either makes you happy/sad/tear jerkers - etc.
It can be music which is just a *must* you may not even like the band or the song
Admiration of Music List or something?
DR
General must haves -
Radiohead - OK Computer
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
Personal Favourites
Pendulum - Hold Your Colour
Nitin Sawhney - Human
Queen - A Night at the Opera
this idea is good, but most people won't agree unless it's micheal jackson
I know it's not been setup yet but:
1. David Bowie, Hunky Dory
2. Rage Against The Machine, Rage Against The Machine
3. Mike Oldfield, Tubular Bells
4. Pink Floyd, Wish You Were Here
5. Dire Straits, Brothers in Arms
6. Steely Dan, The Ultimate Collection
7. Bruce Springstein, Darkness on the Edge of Town
8. Supertramp, Breakfast in America
9. Led Zepplin, Led Zepplin IV
10. Bob Marley, Exodus
Pretty predictable really but I first heard them when I was in my teens and since then they've gotten me through many a dark hour...

C'mon, Off the Wall is a good album for it's time... or am I just a right weirdo??Originally Posted by Blackmage
U.N.K.L.E. - Psyence Fiction
Rob Dougan - Furious Angels
Air - Moon Safari
Johnny Cash - American IV: The Man Comes Around
Pink Floyd - Echoes: The Best of Pink Floyd
They're not necessarily my favorite albums by the named artists, but either the most influential or accessible in their respective genres. And whilst there are other albums I would love to have everyone listen to (e.g. Grandaddy - The Sophtware Slump) I reckon these 5 present a wonderful musical spectrum that everyone can enjoy. And hopefully they're also somewhat less obvious choices than the OK Computer someone is bound to have suggested by the time I hit "Post Quick Reply"
Tee hee, I was right about OK Computer
It's lovely to see some Floyd from most people - but I think the problem with a band with as long and varied a history as Pink Floyd is that any single studio album represents only a limited snapshot - whilst Echoes is about the finest "Best Of" album ever produced, covering their entire history
Seconding 'Queen - A night at the opera', top album.
Beetles - Sergent Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
Holst - Planets
Allegri - Misereri
Beethoven - 9th Symphony
Michael Jackson - Thriller
Abba - Gold
10 of my 'essentials'
Dr Feelgood - Feelgood Factor
Deep Purple - In Rock
Mad Capsule Markets - 010
Hendrix - Are you Experienced?
Motorhead - Bomber
Suicidal Tendencies - Suicidal Tendencies
S.O.D. - Speak English or Die
ZZ Top - First Album
Eric Clapton - From the Cradle
D.R.I. - Crossover

The thing about Echoes is that, of course, they've left loads of great stuff out but what can you expect for a double CD Compilation for a band with this kind of history?Tee hee, I was right about OK Computer

But what a wicked tune Echoes is in itself eh?
I knew I wouldn't be alone bigging up jacko!
The thing is that a top 10 really requires a lot of streamlining and I'm already seeing other people's lists and thinking, "but I love that album too..."
my addition to this thread
Tupac shakur - all eyes on me
true. but i'd rather miss selected good tracks for access to the finest tracks. Comfortably Numb and The Great Gig In The Sky on the same album - yay! It's not as if it's just a collection of tracks, as most Best-Of's are though. They've done a fantastic job in crafting a coherent album from a wide variety of different sample music
I'm a sucker for, well, most of the album! Echoes included thoughBut what a wicked tune Echoes is in itself eh?
DJ Shadow - Endtroducing
John Martyn - The Tumbler
Nick Drake - Five Leaves Left
Neil Young - Harvest
Miles Davis - Kind of Blue
Marvin Gaye - Whats Going On
Primal Scream - Screamadelica
Massive Attack - Blue Lines
Beastie Boys - Hello Nasty
Cocteau Twins - Garlands
Thats just 10 suggestions, it's not definative. I'd also agree on some of the other suggestions. Especially Air and Pink Floyd. Also the ones above aren't all my idea of the greatest albums in the world (ever!) or even my favourites, just ones that i think people should listen to.
Did you ever manage to see the video to Echoes? Shot at an ampitheatre in Pompei...true. but i'd rather miss selected good tracks for access to the finest tracks.

I'm not a big fan of performance videos. I think when spotty nerdy-looking men hit the music scene, the use of video as a much more conceptual tool picked up - and I absolutely love the synaesthesic aspects of some modern videos. The video for The Chemical Brothers - Star Guitar (by Michael Gondry) remains my all-time favorite.
It's like videos of a wedding I think - what point are pictures, when you need to be there to properly experience a performance?
