Favorite Albums...
I posted a list of my favorite albums but accidentally deleted it when I went to make some minor additions. I kept remembering after the fact, albums that I'd wanted to add to the list. What are your favorite albums? I think that I share a lot of the same favorite albums with people.Chances are.But
I don't even know where to start, now that I deleted the original list..

Shit, there are sooo many albums to think of. I'm forgetting 50,000. But that's where I start wondering about people's favorites. I'm sure I'm forgetting the most obvious choices. I think I'm going to post this but reserve the right to add more albums as I think of them, or if you post any good ones. :)

I agree on The Who here, surprising eh :) Also I see you listed Bowie's Ziggy Stardust which is a cool cool album indeed. Hmm...My favourites...(some of them)
THE WHO - My Generation
U2 - Boy, Achtung Baby
PIXIES - Doolittle
BRITISH SEA POWER - Decline of the British Sea Power
BOB DYLAN - Blonde On Blonde
THE CLASH - London Calling
NICK DRAKE - Pink Moon
THE ROLLING STONES - Beggar's Banquet

Nice list, Lisa.
I'd add:
A Night at the Opera- Queen
Foxtrot, Selling England by the Pound- Genesis
Crime of the Century- Supertramp
Legend- Bob Marley
Rubber Soul-Beatles
I'm sure I could add a slew of them too, but that's just off the top of my head. I have a record collection of over 300 LPs, never mind the CDs. I could rattle off some records for days.
Cheers,

Hey EL, you reminded me of the Stones, jeez. I forgot. I think feel the exact same way as you about the earlier vs later Stones stuff.
Hi Anne Marie, you've reminded me of
Queen, of course! Good choices yourself!
News of the world, you just reminded me! Thanks! I need to add that! Isn't that what it's called?

Wow, Gary, Sue! GREAT CHOICES!!!
I'm going to have to add a couple of yours to mine! :) More David Bowie, Zeppelin, Smiths, etc.
Don't even know where to start.
You really get to know about a person by their albums. Such as:
Gary: Joy Division, Songs in the Key of Life ( f*cking amazing album)
Sue:Alice Cooper and Slade
Most excellent!
This is great, you guys. :)
YES! on Yes!
I am so happy to see them listed anywhere.
I love Quadrophenia, Who's Next, the Numbers album, most everything by the Who.
Santana is positively cool.
And Hynde, jeepers.
Great list, yes, hands down.

I forgot a fave album :
Whatever ancient Chicago album that has "Does Anybody Really Know What Time it Is?" and "Saturday In The Park 'Beginnings" and "Make Me Smile"
Realllly ancient Chicago Transit Authority.
Hi Lisa!
Great post here's my list in case you had not seen it b4.
I keep meaning to add the chili peppers - BSSM, thanks for reminding me! How could I forget!!! I also love flea's song that came on the next CD - I'm a little pea... ahh ah.... lol!
There's just too many to list but these stand out
My favorite albums/cd's
First time I've commented being today was the first time I looked into your sites. I found you through Jack & her Jazzblog. She's quite an interesting character so it doesn't surprise me in the least that you are too.
What sucks is that I'm at work so I can only see your music, not hear it. No speakers!
What I came here to say is that you have mighty fine taste in music.
Here's a couple of the greatest albums of all time:
-The Wild The Innocent & The E Street Shuffle - Springsteen
-Chicago VII
-Duty Now For The Future - Devo
-Ice Water - Leo Kottke
I have over 1000 LP's now. Woohoo!
Keep rockin' Lisa!
Jeff
Hey thanks Jeff! And I think I agree with Devo and Chicago! :)
And alecia: I wasn't able to blog yesterday, so I missed it! I am going to check out your list now while I have a chance! :)
Hi Lisa!
Thanks for the comment on the CD list on my music blog! lol - I hear ya... I keep thinking of other ones that have blown my mind but I agree the ones' you've mentioned are some unforgettable ones! :-) ....
Nevermind
Dirt
Appetite for destruction
CORE
Achtung Baby
Boy
All of them except boy were heavily listened to when I lived in the city of angels! How is So. CA these days? Do you ever go into L.A.? I don't miss the crime or smog! But sometimes I do miss El Coyote, Canters at 1:00am :-), Venice beach, Sanat Monica, PCH and select parts of Hollywood!
That's such a coincidence! I lived there at the same time, too! We may have passed each other on the roads, each listening to say, Nevermind or Blood SugarSex Magick.
I actually kinda miss LA, at least parts of it. My bro still lives up in Hollywood. Claims to hate it but I dunno.
It's sooo damned crowded here in San Diego, it almost seems less crowded up there, and that's saying something! At least, it seems like there are more places up there where you can get away from people. But that's just my opinion, I'm sure.
I don't miss that smog though. Crime wise it's just as bad, if not worse,
here!
And I really need to do a revised album list, with a lot of everyone's faves ( that are my faves too) added - I knew that was going to happen! lol
Thanks for coming back and visiting again!:) xoxoLisa
Unreservedly love the whole album ?
Van Der Graaf Generator:FirstGeneration (a compilation),PawnHearts. No guitar just screaming twin Sax and hammond organ with the greatest surreal lyrics.
Zoso:Listen to the buddha. Pretty zen bells and lilting vocals.
AlexHarvey/SAHB:Framed.Next.
Pink Floyd:Meddle,Dark,Wish,Relics.
Meddle has THE finest acoustic songs.

Bjork:Debut (and sugarcubes album).
The Who & Pete tops of course:
Tommy,Quad,Next,Live,Meaty,Numbers,First,Empty,Chinese,Scoops,SellOut,30yrs.
