10 Albums

Recommended Posts

Ok, this is a variation on the "if you were stranded on an deserted island" scenario....

 

You can only choose 10 albums to listen to for the rest of your life....representing the only music you will ever hear again.

 

What are those 10 Albums??

 

Here are some guidelines to keep it interesting:

 

  • You can only choose one (1) "greatest hits," "best of" or other form of compilation. So use it wisely.

  • You can only choose one movie soundtrack.

  • You can only choose albums that were released during your music listening lifetime. For instance, if you are currently 18 years old, there should not be a Beatles or Led Zepellin album on your list, or Nirvana for that matter.

  • Finally, for the love of SVG, don't rip someone else's music choices...music can be a very personal thing. Of course, if someone lists a 98 Degrees album amongst their 10, they deserve anything they get.

     

    I'll start it off....and MAN was this HARD!

     

    1. U2 - The Joshua Tree

    2. Pearl Jam - 10

    3. Violent Femmes - self-titled

    4. The Wallflowers - Breach

    5. Rush - Chronicles

    6. Queensryche - Empire

    7. Beastie Boys - Licensed to Ill

    8. Dave Matthews Band - Under the Table and Dreaming

    9. Def Leppard - Hysteria

    10. Incubus - Make Yourself

     

    Let's hear it!

    Sweet!

     

    I was admiring yours too...Radiohead made my shortlist, but it was OK Computer.

    Oh, and choosing between the DMB albums was tough, too.
