Here's mine:

1. Born To Run - Bruce Springsteen
2. The White Album - The Beatles
3. Wildflowers - Tom Petty
4. The Joshua Tree - U2
5. Highway 61 Revisited - Bob Dylan

I believe what you listen to says a lot about who you are.
What are your some of your all-time favorite records?

    2. Led Zeppelin - ||
    3. Pearl Jam - Ten
    4. Chili Peppers - Stadium Arcadium

    I always find it strange that i don't consider Ten to be my favorite PJ album, but I do consider it to be one of the greatest albums of all time.

    I listen to TONS of different types of music, so I am only listing rock albums, in no particular order.

    Beatles:Abbey Road
    Rolling Stones:Exile on Main Street
    Genesis: The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway
    Black Sabbath:Paranoid
    Jimi Hendrix:Electric Ladyland

    Of course there really can't be a top 5, these are just some of my favorites.

    Hard to do this in 5 I'll try 10

    1. *Stay Human*/*YELL FIRE*......Michael Franti and Spearhead
    2. *Grace UNDER Pressure*/*Exit Stage Left*.......RUSH
    3. *The Joshua Tree*................U2
    4. *London Calling*...................The CLASH
    5. *Back In Black*.....................ACDC
    6. *Babylon By Bus*..................Bob Marley
    7. *TEN*.............................Pearl Jam
    8. *Are You Experienced*...........Jimi Hendrix
    9. *Who's Next*.......................The Who
    10.*Rage Against The Machine*.....RATM

    Many have been left out I'm sure (I'm tired as I fall asleep to Heart) but these are albums I listen to from beginning to end without having to skip through.

    edit: I need to fit *Master Of Puppets* ......Metallica in there somewhere

    Peace
    *We CAN bomb the World to pieces, but we CAN'T bomb it into PEACE*...Michael Franti

    *MUSIC IS the expression of EMOTION.....and that POLITICS IS merely the DECOY of PERCEPTION*
    .....song_Music & Politics....Michael Franti

    *The scientists of today think deeply instead of clearly. One must be sane to think clearly, but one can think deeply and be quite INSANE*....Nikola Tesla(a man who shaped our world of electricity with his futuristic inventions)

    Hmmm, fairly impossible for me to say definitively. I think that the fairest way to say which would make my top five is by play count.

    Radiohead - The Bends
    Pearl Jam - Vitalogy
    U2 - The Joshua Tree
    Radiohead - OK Computer
    Grandaddy - Sumday
    It's gonna be a glorious day...

    1. On the Beach- Neil Young
    2. Ten- Pearl Jam
    3. Yankee Hotel Foxtrot- Wilco
    4. Kind of Blue- Miles Davis

    It saddens me but i can't pick a number 5 without much deliberation. Those 4 though always rise to the cream of the crop when i'm thinking about my fav ablums

    Currently and in no particular order:

    ~ Binaural - Pearl Jam
    ~ Flavors of Entanglement - Alanis Morissette
    ~ The Wall - Pink Floyd (This will always be in my top 5)
    ~ We Sing of Only Blood or Love - Dax Riggs
    ~ Straight to Hell - Hank III
    Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...

    ... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.
  • the wolfthe wolf Posts: 7,027
    Strange Days - the doors
    Sheer Heart Attack - Queen
    Urban Hymns - The Verve
    Houses of the Holy - Led Zep.

    those are always in my top 10 at least. i cant pick top 5 as half of PJ's records would always be in my top 10 at least. and the top 10 is always changing. ;)
    Peace, Love.

    YAY! My favourite tracks are Country Heros, Pill I took and Dick in Dixie... Awesomeness.

    You're the only other person i've 'known' outside of my local friends who likes it too! :D
