damn - this is tough as i constantly shift to a new set of albums (my ipod remains completely the same for months at a time then i dump everything and pick up brand new stuff) - but here's my current feeling


1) AC/DC - Back in Black (indeed, I could do the whole list with AC//DC - its hard not to also but AC/DC LIVE, which is my 'work-out' album on the old ipod)

2) Gorillaz - Gorillaz (i love the new one - Demon Days - but the first album is still my favorite chill-out in the background cd.)

3) White Stripes - Elephant (I so did not want to like this album as it was being insanely hyped in London - with posters covering the tube - but then my girlfriend at the time bought it for me and I loved it)

4) Pixies - Surfer Rosa (a classic old post- punk blast - truly an album i could listen to for weeks at a time without wanting to change it)

5) Michael Gordon - Light is Calling (weird pseudo-classical, experimental stuff - sort of Philip Glass-like; but great to chill out to when you want something without lyrics to get in the way)

6) Radiohead - OK Computer (truly the greatest 'masterpiece' album of the past few decades)

7) Matthew Sweet - Living Things (I'll admit to hating this when I first got it - it seemed so jumbled and mish-mashed - - -but upon listening a few times i realized it was an amazing album that just needed my patience to get into it).

8) Iron Maiden - Live After Death (truly the greatest live album of all time - i absolutely love this whole thing!)

9) REM - Fables of the Reconstruction (classic old REM when Michael Stipe still mumbled everything and the country chords jangled along)

10) Husker Du - Candy Apple Grey (perhaps the least appreciated post- punk band but without Husker Du there would be no Pixies and then no Jane's Addiction and no Nirvana and no Pearl Jam, etc. etc. - these guys were crucial to the history of alternative music - so give some respect to Bob Mould and the crew!)

[Jacob Singer]

Bruce Dickinson rules!!!! He and Rob Halford are the best singers of NWBHM (New wave of British heavy metal). When he left Iron Maiden I lost all the interest in that group. Furthermore, I think that his last two solo albums (Chemical weding and Tyranny of souls) are 1000 times better than the new Maiden albums with Bruce

My Fav albums from Iron Maiden are:

Iron Maiden -Iron Maiden

Piece of Mind

Number of the beast

Live after death (Best live album ever?)

Fear of the dark

[urgeok]

but here are some of what i think are essential albums ..

to me these albums are solid .. beginning to end.


- The Knack - Get the Knack
- Pink Floyd - the final cut
- roxy music - avalon
- rheostatics - whale music
- genesis - selling england by the pound
- blue oyster cult - agents of fortune

- beatles - revolver
- M (the album with Pop Music on it)
- acdc - highway to hell

I totally agree with you. Rob Halford is an awesome singer, but Bruce has always been my favorite. Live after Death IS the best live album ever, because they rock live!!! I've seen them twice in the past three years, once touring with Motorhead and Dio, and then last year at Ozzfest on the main stage. By far my favorite live act. Bruce is a maniac.

Not really in any order

Killer or Classiks* - Alice Cooper
Kristofferson - Kris Kristofferson
In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida - Iron Butterfly
Tommy - The Who
Moving Pictures - Rush

*Classiks is essentially a "Best Of" compilation, but it is the first album to feature "Stolen Prayer", which I personally consider to be one of his greatest songs.
