I couldn't decide on a Ramones album, so I cheezed out and put all of them.

[wildhorses]

that is what i did with buddy holly

;)

[anti-everything]

7. Understood...

I like everything Buddy Holly did. He was a great artist.

[wildhorses]

9. rave on

:headbang:

[sir_captain]

My answers would be very different on different days

1. The Beatles -- Abbey Road
2. Velvet Underground -- Fully Loaded
3. Pink Floyd -- The Wall
4. Elliot Smith -- XO
5. Tom Waits -- Closing Time

[anti-everything]

4. Mine too, but I'm talking over all.

[wildhorses]

6. that is the way i took it--

as in over all

life in sllow motion is WAY new compared to my other picks

but being as it stayed in my car's player for like 3 solid months last year...

i thought i better list it

[anti-everything]

16. Yes, I listened to Walk Among Us

for about six months straight, therefore, I had to include it...Even if I hadn't listened to it in a week or so.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

5. Mine:

1) Kind of Blue, Miles Davis
2) A Love Supreme, John Coltrane
3) Exile On Main Street, The Rolling Stones
4) London Calling, The Clash
5) Revolver, The Beatles

Though I've recently listened to Television's "Marquee Moon" for a straight week now, so that may crack my Top 5.

[Initech]

8. My list (with covers):

1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

[anti-everything]

12. Yes, Primus just missed my list

Frizzle Fry was great, I like Sailing the Seas of Cheese a little bit more, bu they're very, very close.

[Initech]

13. I'd consider the first four Primus albums absolutely essential.

I also like a lot of Claypool's other projects as well (Frog Brigade, Oysterhead, Colonel Claypool's Bucket Of Bernie Brains, and so on).

[mvd]

10. Wow - I'd have to think it over

I'll be lazy right now and say:

Beatles - Rubber Soul
Beatles - Abbey Road
Beatles - Revolver
Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
Beatles - White Album

[SPKrazy]

11. Mine

Rolling Stones Sticky Fingers
REM Man on the Moon
Indigo Girls-- (one with Prince of Darkness)
Supertramp Breakfast in America
Led Zeppelin 3


and hell no these aren't my top 5 favorites, I can't choose that... these are 5 favs that came to mind on short notice.

my tastes change and fav's change with that

i'm not the same person all the time :crazy:

[anti-everything]

15. Me either,

but my all time favorites generally remain the same, except with the ramones. They're always there, but different albums suit different moods. But I meant all-time favorites. Hopefully, like in my case, the artists were the correct choices.

[ghostsofgiants]

14. This is not going to be very accurate but here goes...

Refused - "The Shape Of Punk To Come"
Husker Du - "Zen Arcade"
At The Drive-In - "Relationship of Command"
The Mars Volta - "De-loused in the Comatorium"
Bad Brains - "I Against I"

[ghostsofgiants]

21. Covers because I am bored.

[driver8]

17. REM "Murmur" at top of the list...

Followed by:

Clash -- London Calling
Pixies -- Doolittle
U2 -- Joshua Tree
XTC -- English Settlement

[enigmatic]

25. I was gonna put Murmur in mine

I need to listen to it from beginning to end again and let it blow me away like it did in 1983 when I heard it for the first time. "Sitting Still" is still in my top 10 songs of all time; there's so much joy in those 3 minutes..

[driver8]

45. "Sitting Still" is amazing...

"Talk About The Passion" always gets me, too.

Murmur still blows me away every time I listen to it.

[enigmatic]

18. 5

The Days Of Wine And Roses- The Dream Syndicate


The Modern Dance- Pere Ubu


Lost Son- Richmond Fontaine


Still Feel Gone- Uncle Tupelo


Spiderland- Slint

[DubiousLee]

23. what are your thoughts on Anodyne? eom

[enigmatic]

24. For a long time, it was my favorite Tupelo record

The tension between Jay and Jeff was bleeding all over the redcord, and it brought out the best in both of them. "Anodyne" was the logical end to the band; you can't but help but not hear it in "High Water" and "No Sense In Lovin'" especially. That would be the record I'd buy to introduce anyone to the band, but any of the 4 will do.

You can't really go wrong w/ any of them, though "Still Feel Gone" is just a little bit better then the other 3 IMO..

[driver8]

43. Hey -- where's REM??

I don't know the band, Splint. Who would you compare them to?

[enigmatic]

46. Slint pretty much invented math rock

Spiderland is a influential classic, and like the The Velvet Underground and Nico LP, not many people heard it, but those who did all went out and started a band themselves.

Here's a few of live sets you can grab; "Washer" and "Good Morning Captain" are the standouts and 2 of the best songs written in the past 20 years:

http://goodmorningcaptain.com/

Highly recommended, bro; it takes a few listens to get into, but once it does it'll never leave your subconscious..

[grannylib]

19. Tonight, anyway, my list is: (in no particular order)

Anything by Crowded House/Neil Finn...entire catalog.
Led Zeppelin's "Physical Grafitti"
Bob Dylan's "Highway 61 Revisited"

Q

[QMPMom]

34. I can't name my top five, but I can name my #1 favorite.

It's the 1998 Vuelve CD by Ricky Martin.

It's all Spanish and is amazing. He won a Grammy for it in 1999. There have been times where that is the only thing I will play for weeks on end.

You can all start laughing now. But, unless you've heard his Spanish work, I wouldn't laugh too hard. Vuelve is brilliant.

Pink Floyd - Wish You were Here
Van Morrison - Mooondance
