    Harvest- Neil Young. A fucking masterpiece.
    Vs- Pearl Jam. A fucking masterpiece that would supplant Harvest if Glorified G had been swapped with Wash, Alone, Brother, Yellow Ledbetter, pretty much any of the songs they had in the hole.
    Blind Melon- Eponymous

    Vs is my #1. But I like Glorified G, its a fun song. I'd swap out any of those you mentioned for blood or WMA.......or even Indifference. I don't get the love for that song, the title explains exactly how I feel about it.

    People...

    Listen with your ears...

    One...

    Just one album.

    Every time I see a list I just wanna snap. I wanna lose it. Oh yeah... you're supposed to choose best album of all time- not 'catchy album that you can really get into if you force yourself to and ignore the filler'.

    Sheesh.

    If I am going to be on an island, that's going to impact what albums I take because I need something that has a good range of emotional importance. I'd need some fast upbeat songs, some anger, some reflection and mellow contentment. So based on that, these are albums I absolutely love every track, could listen to over and over again and would want under these circumstances:

    Binaural - PJ (If I can't bring a bootleg then this is my PJ pick)
    ...Like Clockwork - QOTSA
    Self Titled - The Head and the Heart (Amazing album)

    Really hard to leave these off, but had to:
    Houses of the Holy - Led Zeppelin
    The End of All Things to Come - Mudvayne
    Sgt. Peppers - The Beatles
    Badmotorfinger - Soundgarden
    And Justice for All - Metallica
    It's a hopeless situation...
