In no particular order.

MWJ.

No mistaking what you're into. Some good stuff in there.

I've got a large underwater photo of my son in the 'Nevermind' pose. The Mrs wouldn't let me photoshop it with either a dollar bill in front of him, or, a great white shark behind him. Shame!

GnR was so close to getting on the list but it just seems so cliche'd now. Still a great album though.

Drats, forgot Pearl Jam - Ten. Now who do I drop??

I thought the ABC was "lexicon of love"

 

[vig]

I couldn't possibly pick just 5

 

[haplesshacker]

Vig.

You are so right. I can't believe I got that wrong. Basic stuff an'all.

 

[madandra]

Great topic Hapless,


Mine are listed below:


So .... Peter Gabriel

Bat out of Hell .......... Meatloaf

Graceland ...... Paul Simon

Guns n Roses .........Appetite for destruction.

The Proclaimers ...... Sunshine on Leith

Anything by A-ha !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry but I was their biggest fan.

 

[medwayjon]

Got to love Apetite, downright seedy rock and I love it!

 

[haplesshacker]

Not for me to criticise, but Aha!! My Mrs loves Micheal Bolton - why!!??

Mr Meat is a sound choice. Never bettered by him since.

Intro to 'Welcome' is just great, had it as a ring tone for a while (annoying in the office!!).

Madandra. Personally thought that the whole african thing was done better by Malcolm Mclaren with the album Duck Rock; and it preceeded Gracelands by a few years. IMHO of course.

However time to check out 'So' again; reminds me a bit of Talking Heads. Darn, there's another one 'Stop Making Sense'.

 

[Deleted member 1147]

1 - Abbey Road - Beatles
2 - Number of the Beast - Iron Maiden
3 - Sheer Heart Attack - Queen
4 - Thriller - Michael Jackson
5 - The Rise and fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars - David Bowie

That's the top 5 today, but it'll change tomorrow

Superunknown by Soundgarden

plus many many more

Superunknown is an excellent choice!

 

[haplesshacker]

Primal Scream - Screamadelica

Oh, there's just too many.

 

[Atticus_Finch]

Stone Roses 1st album anyone?

 

[Atticus_Finch]

Also,

Rumours...............Fleetwood Mac
Steeltown.............Big Country
Back in Black.........ACDC
Breakfast in America..Supertramp

At the time, I loved Stanley Road and Morning Glory, but on reflection I probably prefer their predecessors Wildwood and Definitely Maybe.

 

[madandra]

I also love Roger Waters Radio Kaos and Pearl Jam

 

[GB72]

Really is hard to choose 5 but here goes:

1. The Wonderstuff: Eight Legged Groove Machine.
2. AC/DC: Back in Black
3. Eminem: The Marshall Mathers LP.
4. The Cult: Electric
5. The Jesus and Mary Chain: Barbed Wire Kisses

So many more I could have included.

 

[haplesshacker]

Ah haa. The Cult have cropped up a couple of times, class.

AC/DC, excellent.

The Wonderstuff, another fine choice.

If I do say so myself, some damn fine stuff on here. I'll check out some of the other stuff, particularly Andys choices.

 

[OldWindy]

Thought long and hard but just couldn't choose - good post.
