'And now for something slightly different!'

[haplesshacker]

We've done various ones of these over the last year or so.

But not this one.

You're only allowed 5 (I'm sure I said this on previous ones, and then gone and broken it myself straight away) but you get the idea.

Topic.

Your top 5 albums - film soundtrack albums allowed as well.


Damn it. Make it top 10


In no particular order.

Simple Minds - Sparkle In The Rain
Silent Running - Shades Of Liberty
Rodrigo y Gabriela - Rodrigo y Gabriela
Paul Weller - Stanley Road
Heart - Bad Animals
Thunder - Live Double album
Pink Floyd - The Wall
ABC - Lexicon Of Love OR Duran Duran - Rio
Bryan Adams - Reckless
AC/DC - Back In Black


Over to you then.

[KeefG]

In no particular order:

Enchanted - Stevie Nicks (3-cd)
Stripped - Rolling Stones
Alf - Alison Moyet
Pearls - Elkie Brooks

lots of others but I tend not to listen to them as albums. I load a lot to my MP3, or put 5 cd at a time on my stereo unit, and play them on random

life is done in top 5s, not 10s!

and film soundtracks? you will be allowing "best of"s, and "now" compilations next! (this has been the source of heated pub debate more than once round our way)

U2 - Joshua Tree
Oasis - Definitely Maybe
Nirvana - Nevermind
Guns n Roses - Appetite for Destruction
Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream
The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses

Yeah, I know! I've read High Fidelity as well!

But to be honest. When we've done these things before, we've always really struggled to keep it to five.

The great thing about these kind of threads, is that I can go and investigate music that I'd forgotton about or never heard. Doing it through Spotify means that I can listen to it all for free.

 

[Adrena1in]

I don't have many albums, so this should be pretty easy, though I usually think of 5 or 6 in these Top 10 things and then fill the list with garbage...


1) Radiohead - The Bends
2) Queen - Innuendo
3) Pink Floyd - Wish you were Here (Would rather say a Best Of or Compilation, because my favourite tracks of theirs are mostly on a variety of albums.)
4) Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick (Though same as above.)
5) Muse - Origins of Symmetry
6) Feeder - Comfort in Sound, (the special edition with the bonus tracks, including "All By Myself".)
7) Avril Lavigne - Let Go
8) Green Day - American Idiot
9) Alanis Morrisette - Jagged Little Pill
10) Skunk Anansie - Stoosh

(This list is likely to keep changing, apart from a fiew which will always be on the list.)
