Friday OT #1 - Please Hammer Don't Hurt 'Em

[Angie]

Thanks to @Farnsworth for this idea! I think it'll get some good thinking going - what are the top five albums you've ever personally owned?

For me:

- Rise/Fall of Ziggy Stardust - Bowie
- Blood on the Tracks - Dylan
- Thriller - MJ
- Paul's Boutique - Beasties
- Exile on Main St - Stones

 

[Farnsworth]

I must submit a lot of ideas, I don't remember this one, haha. Will post in a bit, gotta think.

 

[MeanDean]

Odessey and Oracle or The Singles A's and B's- Zombies
Abbey Road or Rubber Soul (US Version) - Beatles
Moondance - Van Morrison
Recurring Dream - Crowded House
My Aim is True - Elvis Costello

 

[cyrocksmypants]

A little skewed since I don't buy albums anymore and just listen to Spotify, but in no particular order:

Rubber Soul-The Beatles
El Camino-The Black Keys
Hot Fuss-The Killers
Long Walk to Never-Jaymay
Near Truths and Hotel Rooms-Todd Snider

 

[Cyowan008]

- Waking the Fallen - Avenged Sevenfold
- Black Holes and Revelations - Muse
- The Black Parade - MCR
- Back in Black -AC/DC (got it when I was about 12 I think and reason I got into Rock & roll)
- The Wall - Pink Floyd

 

[Sigmapolis]

CD, vinyl, or does digital count?

 

[jcyclonee]

Graceland - Paul Simon
Thriller - MJ
Born to Run - Bruce Springsteen
Abbey Road - The Beatles
Boston - Boston

I'm leaving off any compilation albums.

Also, I'm sure this list will change as people that are more intelligent and have better memories than me start posting stuff.

 

[jcyclonee]

CD, vinyl, or does digital count?

I'm also curious if gramaphones count?

 

[Al_4_State]

So basically your 5 favorite albums?

There's enough that I really love that could be here on a given day, but for our purposes....

"Decoration Day" Drive-By Truckers
"Exile on Main Street" Rolling Stones
"Vitalogy" Pearl Jam
"Boys & Girls in America" The Hold Steady
"Full Moon Fever" Tom Petty

That was just limiting it to 1 entry per artist. "Sticky Fingers" by the Stones is in there.

 

[oldman]

Led Zep - Physical Graffiti
Black Sabbath - Paranoid
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
Jeff Buckley - Grace
Van Morrison - Philosopher's Stone
...and about a dozen others

 

[coolerifyoudid]

Pearl Jam - Ten
Toad the Wet Sprocket - Fear
Green Day - Dookie
Paul Simon - Graceland
Fleetwood Mac - Rumours


Compilations - (this is almost impossible)

Bob Marley - Legend
Simon and Garfunkel - Greatest Hits
Beatles - Anthology
Social Distortion - Greatest Hits
CCR - Revival

 

[jcyclonee]

Graceland - Paul Simon
Thriller - MJ
Born to Run - Bruce Springsteen
Abbey Road - The Beatles
Boston - Boston

I'm leaving off any compilation albums.

Also, I'm sure this list will change as people that are more intelligent and have better memories than me start posting stuff.

Now that I'm awake, I suppose I better add these two:
Joshua Tree - U2
Automatic for the People - REM

 

[TXCyclones]

Bob Marley - Legend
Pearl Jam - Ten
Nirvana - In Utero
Led Zepplin - Physical Grafitti
The Killers - Hot Fuss

 

[cyclones500]

Excellent topic. Challenging. Difficult to pare it down to 5. I have to contemplate for a bit.

 

[jcyclonee]

Compilations - (this is almost impossible)

Bob Marley - Legend
Simon and Garfunkel - Greatest Hits
Beatles - Anthology
Social Distortion - Greatest Hits
CCR - Revival

I agree. This is almost impossible, but here's a five.
Simon and Garfunkel - Greatest Hits
U2- Rattle and Hum
REM - The Best of REM
Jimmy Buffett - Songs You Know By Heart
Rolling Stones - Rewind

 

[laminak]

Excluding Greatest Hits/compilation albums (otherwise it would be cheating):

Def Leppard - Hysteria
Metallica - Master of Puppets
Shinedown - Sound of Madness
AC/DC - Back in Black
Guns N Roses - Appetite for Destruction

Kinda harder now with newer bands, since I don't often buy a whole album online. I'll just cherry pick songs now from albums.

 

[carvers4math]

Decided this is too hard if I think about it so went to first five that popped into my mind as ones I have played repetitively.

The Band: Music from Big Pink
Miles Davis: Kind of Blue
Steve Miller Band: Fly Like an Eagle
Red Hot Chili Peppers: Blood Sugar Sex Magik
John Mayer: Continuum

This. I am trying to figure out Top 5 when I listened to them a lot or Top 5 of old stuff I still will spin today. It might help if I was drinking wine or scotch and not coffee. Coffee is not a music drink.

 

[cyclones500]

Coffee is not a music drink.

I tend to agree.

Possible exception: "Black Coffee," Black Flag

Disagree. Especially when driving.
