Another Music Thread: Must Have Albums...

[Chaos]

Ok, I see my previous thread did well :cool:

So, this thread is dedicated to Must Have Albums. The only rule is No Greatest Hits compilations. Wait, another rule, no boy bands, brittany and friends, and any idols...

Here are a couple from me:

U2 - The Unforgettable Fire
The Police - Synchronicity

[Cam]

Budokan... :D

[Robstar]

...and justice for all - Metallica

:cool:

[racer2c]

I suggest limiting the number to 5 or people will list a hundred 'must have albums'. It really makes you think when you have to just pick five.

1) The Grays - Roshambo
2) Jellyfish - Spilt Milk
3) Aimee Mann - Lost in Space
4) Bowie - Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars
5) Radiohead - The Bends

[Mr. Vengeance]

Townes Van Zandt: Live and Obscure
Stevie Ray Vaughn: Couldn't Stand The Weather
Buddy Guy & Junior Wells: Alone And Acoustic
Cowboy Junkies: The Trinity Sessions (an absolute must have. Margo Timmins' voice is unbelievable).
Dire Straits: Love Over Gold, (Alchemy, too).
Ozzy: Blizzard Of Oz (I know it looks out of place but what the hey...)
Sex Pistols: Never Mind The Bollocks...
The Clash: London Calling
Guy Clark: Boats To Build

"Eclectic" enough for ya? :) There's a bunch more that fit here, too.

Edit: Almost forgot the ONE, absolute, must have album: "The London Howlin' Wolf Sessions"; Howlin' Wolf, Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood, Bill Wyman, Charlie Watts among others. Look in the cheap bin, if you don't like it I'll refund your money.

Stevie Ray Vaughn: Couldn't Stand The Weather
Dire Straits: Love Over Gold, (Alchemy, too).

Whoa Mr V.!!!!!! Are you me in disguise????? :eek:

Mind You I need to add...

Bryan Ferry "Bride Stripped Bare"
Joe Jackson "Night and Day" and "Look Sharp"
Oh and just about ANY Elvis Costello.....

Just pile on Jimi and SRV and you're good to go. :cool:

[Hyacinth]

Crosby, Stills and Nash - Daylight Again
Annie Lennox - Diva

I always have these in my car so, I suppose they are have to haves. I listen to them more than the others that rotate in and out.

David and David - Boomtown
ZZ Top - Afterburner
Tin Cup Soundtrack
Dave Mathews Band - Crash

[skaven]

These are the 5 albums I would take with me on a deserted desert isle (assuming this desert isle had a cd/ record player, an amp, speakers, electricity... ):

1. ... And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead - Source Tags and Codes
2. Modest Mouse - Building Something Out of Nothing
3. Superchunk - On the Mouth :thumbup:
4. Dinosaur Jr. - You're Living All Over Me
5. Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation

I'd try to salvage Hendrix, Yo La Tengo, Bowie, Belle & Sebastian, Desert Sessions, QSA, Swans, Tortoise, Sebadoh, Interpol, Traffic, Sabbath, Big Black, the Pixies, Pink Floyd and Neil Young as I was swimming for the aforementioned desert isle. And a guitar - who knows how long I'll be stranded. :)

[WickerBill]

Will try to stick to five...


"Nevermind", Nirvana
"Flood", They Might Be Giants
"New Moon Shine" James Taylor
"White Album", Beatles
"American Pie" Don McLean


The caviat here is that these probably aren't my five favorite albums -- just ones that according to my current mood I couldn't live without.

Do I have to stop?

Overkill - W.F.O.
Pantera - Vulgar Display of Power

Most of the rest of my "must haves" are compilations, thereby excluded from this thread. Besides... I'm at work now... I shouldn't be thinking this hard!

Winter Warlock!

[skaven]

Sheee-it... not too many wankers on this list ! ! !

Hopefully my island is in close proximity to Chop, cart7 and Warlock's islands.

I see the Boss likes Dave Mathews Band... you know what BIF would say about that... :eek:

[Mr. Vengeance]

I should probably add Bruce Springsteen's "The River". It's been the soundtrack for many-a-roadtrip.

[rabbit]

Miles Davis - "Kind of Blue"
Nirvana - "Nevermind"
Metallica - "Black Album"
A Tribe Called Quest - "The Low End Theory"

So true WB. My list tomorrow will probably be completely different. Like, I can't believe I didn't put a Beatles album on there!

Dulcinea would be on there too. Love the Toad. If you haven't already, I strongly urge people who like moody yet poppy, Beatles influenced alternative music to check out The Grays. They made one record before splitting off to solo careers. Incredible songwriting and musicianship.

Help! I am being unfairly persecuted by the moderator! Help! Attica! Attica! :p

[Dirty Sanchez]

Turbonegro - "Ass Cobra" :thumbup:

Living In Clip is great -- I just whined because I wanted to add it but didn't because it wasn't originals. :)

[G.]

Oh, yeah. I forgot Rancid - And Out Come The Wolves.

[Paintergeek]

This thread just goes to show you the variety in music. Until Warlock came along, I was thinking this was the "must have....destroyed...albums' thread. Started out a bit rough. Ill add a few 'non typical' ones:

The MR. T Experience : .....revenge is sweet, and so are you.
Guttermouth : Musical Monkey
Reverend Horton Heat : Full Custom Gospel Sounds
The Cure : Disintegration
Verbena : Into the Pink
Cake - Comfort Eagle

This could go on forever. Again, if anyone didnt see in the last thread, My CD collection is well documented:

I have never heard of him. I'll try to listen to it. Track listing seems good enough. Although, I wish someone told me chicks dig jerks when I was younger. :)

Woo Hoo! Another ABBA fan!! and here I thought me and Mappy were the only closet listeners. :laugh:

Nice collection. In my early days of vinyl collecting, I had some 1000 LP's.

[cart7]

2 votes already for the White Album. Hmmm.. I never considered that one of the better works.
I'm adding Abbey Road to my list.

[skaven]

Turbonegro - "Ass Cobra" :thumbup:


Right on ! ! !

I so wanted to road trip to Lawrence, KS to see them, but I had to "support" my girlfriend as she ran a half marathon that day. I had a bunch of pals in Chicago who went to the show at the Metro Sept. 23rd. Did you make it?

I just ordered the Turbonegro movie off their website along with some stickers for my snowboard. FTW ! ! !

(Now back to work as I hum "Denim Demon.") :)

[JT265]

Cart7, ABBA's 8 tracks are great for an extended winter road trip.

Just in case the car quits and you need something to burn. :D

Oh, and I'll add any old Tragically Hip to the list as well.

[Paintergeek]

Yeah, I listen to alot of music......From Abba to Zombie, Manson to Hansen....Ok, no Hansen. But it sounded good. What I DONT listen to is modern-era 'pop' music labeled as country, and and cookie cutter horses**** rap music like Nelly and 50 cent.

Another 'ultimate' album (and their last full length good album) is the Chili Peppers "Blood Sugar Sex Magic".

Also, ANYTHING by Me first and the Gimme Gimme's. It probably doesnt count, but I cant live without it. I probably listen daily.........

[Mr. Vengeance]

Hey 'Geek... Nice to see you around. :thumbup:

[RaceGrrl]

Queen- A Night at the Opera

Johnny Cash- Live at Folsom/San Quentin

Cartoon Planet- Musical Bar-B-Q

Cool. Yeah, I lived 4 blocks from the Empty Bottle for 7 years when I was in Chicago and saw some amazing shows at the Metro. The music scene in Chi-town is top notch. :cool:

Empty Bottle is a great spot too... haven't been there in quite awhile though. There are a few other places in town now (Abbey Pub, Subterranean, Bottom Lounge) that are getting shows that would have probably been at EB 5 years ago.

The Hideout is still the best, imo. :)

Well, young anyway.

[skaven]

Cool. Not to hijack this thread while I wax nostalgic about the scene in Chicago ;) , I'll throw another must have album out there - this was my parent's best 8-track when I was growing up. I bought it on vinyl and now have it on disc too.

RTKar, that's a fine array of bands from the Emerald isle you have there!

A lot of great music from that isle...Steve Earle is writing some of the best stuff from here these days imo....getting more into the alt country stuff myself, it hasn't been too poisoned by the mainstream yet guys like Robert Earl Keen, Fred Eaglesmith, Tim O'Brien...Yonder Mountain String Band...

Hmm, today's list of 10 or so from me will include:

Acetone - Cindy

The Pretty Things - Parachute
The Dream Syndicate - Days Of Wine And Roses
Funkadelic - Maggot Brain
Sonic Youth - Sister
Pink Floyd - Meddle

Can't say I'd pull any from the list tomorrow, but I'm certain I'd add a bunch. Let's just stop at this for now.

Wow! My first post too. I guess none of you will be too surprised with my selections. Right in line with the picture of me you've already drawn...

[eiregosod]

A lot of great music from that isle...Steve Earle is writing some of the best stuff from here these days imo......

does he have an irish connection? Back in 2000 on irish TV there was a singer/songwriter from the USA singing folk songs with an Irish influence on the TV , I remember the reddish beard & all....

Steve Earle did some stuff with the Pogues on the Copperhead Road album; "Johnny Come Lately" and maybe others, I can't recall.

Copperhead Road should have been on my list... I can't believe I didn't put The Pogues "Rum, Sodomy And The Lash" on it either. For shame.

He and Shane may have done some heroin together...Steve cleaned his act up...Shane didn't...Earles also done some excellent stuff with The Del McCoury Band (a bluegrass band) on a disc, "The Mountain" a song called Connemara breakdown and he did a great song with Sharon Shannon called Galway Girl

[eiregosod]

The albums I cherish.

All my Cathal Coughlan stuff: (the best songwriter IMO, intelligent, angry but funny!)

The Fatima Mansions ~ "Come Back My Children"
The Fatima Mansions ~ "Viva Dead Ponies"
Microdisney ~ "The Clock Comes Down The Stairs" (some regard it as being the best album made by an Irish band!)
Microdisney ~ "39 Minutes"
Cathal Coughlan ~ "The Sky's Awful Blue"
Bubonique ~ "20 Golden Showers"


(non)-Traditional Style Irish music:

Kila ~ "Mind the Gap" , these guys will blow your mind!!
Planxty
Nine Wassies From Bainne, the CD is on its way :D
