Ten Favorite Albums
Posted on 8/1/13 at 8:23 am
Posted on 8/1/13 at 8:23 am
I realize this has been done plenty of times on this site. But I can’t remember it any time recently and taste change. Plus I am looking for some new (to me) albums to check out. So, whatcha got?
In chronological order:
Bob Dylan- Bringing It All Back Home (1965)
The Kinks- The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society (1968)
The Clash- London Calling (1979)
Pixies- Doolittle (1989)
Built to Spill- Perfect From Now On (1997)
Neutral Milk Hotel- In the Aeroplane Over the Sea (1998)
The Dismemberment Plan- Emergency and I (1999)
Modest Mouse- The Moon and Antarctica (2000)
The National- Boxer (2007)
Panda Bear- Person Pitch (2007)
I also realize limiting it to just ten is really tough.
ETA: I did keep it to one per artist, not that anyone else has to do that. Made it way more manageable though.

I'm limiting mine to only studio albums, no live or greatest hits.
The Beatles - Abbey Road
The Beatles - Rubber Soul
Rolling Stones - Exile on Main St.
Led Zeppelin - I
Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti
The Band - Cahoots
David Bowie - The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust
Funkadelic - Maggot Brain
LCD Soundsystem - Sound of Silver
Paul Simon - Graceland
That was tough, there's a few others that could easily be on.

God damn, this is going to be hard.
I'll try to submit 10 albums with no particular order:
Bob Dylan - Blood on the Tracks
Led Zeppelin - Untitled (IV)
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon
Led Zeppelin - III
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Blood Sugar Sex Magik
Bob Dylan - Basement Tapes
Green Day - Dookie
Grateful Dead - Dick's Picks Vol. 12
Grateful Dead - Closing of Winterland
I'm not sure the last 2 technically belong in this discussion, but they are killer sets. I know I'm a bit repetitive in my top 10, but I love what I love. Posters who recognize me will know I have a broad musical interest, but Dylan, Dead, Zeppelin dominate my life.
