Top 5 Albums of All Time

[Bosko Schwartz]

The Vote from Manchester is
Mr Wonderful-Fleetwood Mac
Tons of sobs-Free
Double white-Beatles
Ziggy Stardust- David Bowie
Axis Bold as Love- Jimi Hendrix

Can't believe more of you haven't got Ziggy

Nice list, 48!   Yes, I am appalled at myself that I left out Ziggy.   I also agree that Axis: Bold as Love is Jimi's best and one of my favorite albums as well!

[Greeny]

These things do change with the weather, but there are some clear favourites of mine...

- 'Transformer' - Lou Reed
- 'Dark Side of the Moon' - Pink Floyd
- 'Hounds of Love' - Kate Bush
- 'Revolver' - The Beatles
- 'Harvest' - Neil Young

Holy smokes Greeny - You are scaring me. I always go for "Play Through and not Skip Through albums" to be my favorites. You have two of my favorites listed - I'm freakin' out. Andy's Chest is a song I'd love to play (Saijiin could actually cover it with his voice) Well, here's mine(Not in any particular order):

Come in and Burn - Rollins Band
Transformer - Lou Reed
Houses of the Holy - Led Zeppelin
Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd (My first compact disc)
Black Sabbath - Paranoid (My first hand me down LP)

I agree that musical preference changes with the weather, but I can always pop these in and love them to death. (Because I will crank the Police all day long sometimes)

It's a cool world we live in...

'Transformer' is first on the list for me, and has been for many years. It's pretty much a Bowie album as well as a Lou Reed one, lol. And Mick Ronson is one hell of a guitar player. Those songs are just so eclectic and timeless.

I'm glad someone else likes it!

'Odelay' by Beck should be somewhere on my list too. And 'Grace' by Jeff Buckley. And 'Bryter Later' by Nick Drake... christ, there really is no end when you start thinking about it... lol

i told you i would change my mind, thought longer and harder this time, was considering doing a top 5 for all the major developmental stages in my life, in my teen years it was all prog, in my twenties all punk, then post punk then becomes more eclectic as i get older but for now here is my definitive top 10.

david bowie - hunky dory
elvis costello - get happy
tom waits - frank's wild years
captain beefheart - clearspot
lambchop - is a woman

wot no van morrison, no flaming lips,no sigur ross, no yes, no peter gabriel, no roxy music, no joy division, no wreckless eric, no bill nelson, no leonard cohen, no wilco, no curtis mayfield, no steel pulse, no johnny cash, no there must be a recount methinks

1 Dark Side of the Moon
2 Unplugged-Eric Clapton
3 Welcome to MY Nightmare-Alice Cooper

I can't play it - Mr Costello uses some very jazzy chords that I can't follow. Could definitely sing it thiough. Any takers?!
