Your Favourite Albums

Everyone has their own opinion on the best albums ever.

From: "Dave Guy" <daveguy@adelphia.net> - 17 Nov'05

These are in no particular order-just as I thought of them. These are albums that I played the hell out of during my life. Many may not be considered all-time greats by most standards, but I listed them if they were influential to me and defined a time in my life. Also, I would be inclined to put a couple more Beatles or Led Zeppelin records on here, but I decided to stick with only one per artist.

1.)     AC/DC-Back in Black
2.)     Led Zeppelin-II
3.)     Judas Priest-British Steel
4.)     U2-The Joshua Tree
5.)     Jane’s Addiction-Nothing’s Shocking
6.)     Dire Straits-Brothers in Arms
7.)     Def Leppard-High N’ Dry
8.)     Jeff Buckley-Grace
9.)     Weezer-Weezer
10.) The Cars-The Cars
11.) Green Day-Dookie
12.) The Cult-Electric
13.) The Stooges-Raw Power
14.) Chris Isaak-Heart Shaped World
15.) Robbie Robertson-Robbie Robertson
16.) Rolling Stones-Let It Bleed
17.) Alice in Chains-Dirt
18.) Third Eye Blind-Third Eye Blind
19.) Run DMC-King of Rock
20.) Beastie Boys-Licensed to Ill
21.) REM-Out of Time
22.) Rush-2112
23.) Joe Satriani-Surfing With The Alien
24.) Adrian Belew-Young Lions
25.) Pearl Jam-Ten
26.) The Police-Ghost In The Machine
27.) Live-Throwing Copper
28.) Iggy Pop-Brick By Brick
29.) Beatles-Abbey Road
30.) Eric Clapton-MTV Unplugged
31.) The Who-Who’s Next
32.) Stevie Ray Vaughan-The Sky Is Crying
33.) Buddy Guy-Damn Right I’ve Got The Blues
34.) Guns N’ Roses-Appetite For Destruction
35.) Nirvana-Nevermind
36.) Van Halen-Fair Warning
37.) Edie Brickell and New Bohemians-Shooting Rubberbands
38.) Tenacious D-Tenacious D
39.) Pink Floyd-The Wall
40.) Stone Temple Pilots-Core
