Another Top 5, but this one's harder...........

[BubbaZanetti]

what are your top five records of all-time, i'm curious what the musical tastes here are, i know this is a close to impossible question, at least for me :dunno

i'm sure i have others i like more, but this is what i can think of now,

Led Zeppelin - Houses of the Holy
The Jam - Setting Sons
Stone Roses - s/t
The Church - Starfish
The Rolling Stones - Aftermath

well, thats all

[boofer]

Impossible

but we give it a try with just one per artist

King Crimson.....Red
Yes.....Tormato
Moody Blues.....Seventh Sojourn
Cat Stevens....Catch Bull At Four
Cassandra Wilson.....Blue Skies

Putting Led Zepplin on this list is about the same thing as UW Madison on a college "party-drinking" list, it's a given. The band I mix for does some Zepp, well a lot of Zepp (12 or so) On occasion I set the synth up and play "Kashmir" and "All of My Love" from the mixer. " The Song Remains The Same" is my favorite....

Tim

[RatSnake]

Big Brother - Cheap Thrills
Warren Zevon - Enjoy Every Sandwich
Delaney and Bonnie Bramblet - Delaney, Bonnie and Friends
Jefferson Airplane - White Rabbit
Rolling Stones - Sticky Fingers

Let me see:

I own about 1,000 CDs so it is a little tough. So how about this week's list:


King Crimson - Red
Peter Gabriel - Us
Nine Inch Nails - Pretty Hate Machine
California Guitar Trio - Whitewater
Bruce Springsteen - Born to Run


Yup Boofer, you and I are going to get along just fine. Where is Grey Matter on this one?

[einnar]

Such a difficult question...

1. Rush : Chronicles
2. Queen : Greatest Hits
3. Linkin Park : Hybrid Theory
4. Joe Satriani : Time Machine (or possibly 'Flying In A Blue Dream')
5. Dr. Demento : 30th Anniversary Collection


I have very eclectic tastes. Ask me next week, and maybe only 1 of these would still be on the list.

[paulsibek]

1. Dead- American Beauty
2. Allman Bros.- Live at trhe Fillmore East
3.Springsteen- Born to...
4. Layla

1) Beatles - Rubber Soul

Soul Coughing - Ruby Vroom
Public Enemy - Fear of a Black Planet
The Beatles - White Album
Miles Davis - Kind of Blue

That's this week's list. It'll be all different in a couple days.

It probably took me 15 minutes to put that together and it bears no relation to the original list I made.

[Chacifer]

I often rave about each of these albums as being "one of my top 5 favorite of all time," but then again my use of superlatives could be likened to Jose Canseco's take on steroid use in Major League Baseball: rampant.

Prince - Purple Rain
Alice in Chains - Jar of Flies
Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti
Belle and Sebastian - Boy With the Arab Strap
Soundtrack of Saturday Night Fever

[lorazepam]

Hmmmm this week it is :

Bottle Rockets- 24 hours a day
Ry Cooder - Get Rythm
Warren Zevon - Learning to Flinch
Taj Mahal- The Real Blues

2. Queen, Greatest Hits
3. Mary Chapin CArpenter, PArty Doll
4. Jim Croce, Photographs ans Memories
5. Buffett, Don't Stop the CArnival (the theme album of my type of dream...

Hey Loraz...hope I don't scare you!

[lorazepam]

Nah you dont scare me, I have 5 or 6 Buffett albums (cd's) some Queen and Croce. It all depends on the mood I am in. Takes more than music to scare me!

[Cliffy777]

which five would i want to be stranded on a desert island with....

1. roxy music - avalon
2. todd rundgren - another live
3. something by underworld (prolly everything, everything)
4. peter gabriel - shaking the tree
5. can't pick just one more so i will suffer with four

[Joecubana]

Nah you dont scare me, I have 5 or 6 Buffett albums (cd's) some Queen and Croce. It all depends on the mood I am in. Takes more than music to scare me!

I can relate...as I wrote the list Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young were on CD player....now I sit with Carly Simon on the IPod...

Sibelius! :thumb I'd never heard any of his music until I heard a particular violin concerto in Paris a month or so ago. I forget what it was called (dumb, I know), but it was mind blowing. And you can't go wrong with the Ring Cycle.

[BradfordBenn]

And you can't go wrong with the Ring Cycle.

If you like the violin concerto, you should find a recording of his Symphony No. 5. It's probably my favorite symphony.

[Chacifer]

It's not so bad if you listen to it in... CYCLES! :D :lol http://users.pandora.be/eforum/emoticons4u/music/musik35.gif

[BradfordBenn]
