Okay, I'll admit it: I have pretty eclectic music tastes. I like a little of everything, but there are certain albums I never want to be without. They are, in no particular order:

Eric Clapton Unplugged
Natalie Merchant Tiger Lilly
NIN Pretty Hate Machine
White Stripes Elephant
Barenaked Ladies Gordon
Sarah McLachlan Fumbling Toward Ecstasy
Kim Hill Arms of Mercy
Chris Rice Deep Enough To Dream
Best of Baroque

Yes, but what albums? I made my choices because there isn't a single song on any of those albums I dislike; that is a pretty spectacular feat considering most artists will have one or two decent songs per album and the rest will be utter crap.

Take for instance, Clapton's Unplugged. Not a bad song in the bunch. They're mostly classic blues (Delta, my favorite) and when Clapton gets a hold of them they become something sublime. I can listen to that album over and over and never tire of it.

And BNL's first album Gordon. I can sing every single song word for word and every song is distinct from the others. Sadly, their subsequent albums would never measure up.

Hmm, this is hard because I rarely buy albums!! But here are some that I've cared enough to replace when they've gone missing, probably my favorite albums of all time:

Sublime, 40 oz to Freedom
Al Green, I Can't Stop
Tori Amos, Little Earthquakes

I'm sure there are others... but those are the albums where I really like the whole thing front to back, most albums have a lot of songs that I skip through.


myLot reputation of 48/100. sndcain36 (2691)  4 years ago

I know what you mean. That's why the MP3 revolution has been so great; you can now just listen to the songs you like without having to wade through a bunch of crap

The albums on my list predate mp3s (with the exception of Elephant) and it's a good thing I think; I wouldn't know how great they really are if I hadn't been forced to listen to the whole thing. LOL

3. myLot reputation of 54/100. Greyback (429)   4 years ago

Traveling Wilburys Vol I
All of Johnny Cash
Tom Petty-Full Moon Fever

Alot of others I like, but those are my must haves.
I know they are old and hickish, but then again, so am I.


myLot reputation of 48/100. sndcain36 (2691)  4 years ago

Dang you just reminded me of another album I absolutely love: The soundtrack to She's The One. Tom Petty wrote all the music...if you like Petty I think you'll enjoy it....

Oh and Camper Von Beethoven's My Beloved Revolutionary Sweetheart. All time favorite punk album.


myLot reputation of 93/100. crimsonladybug (2534)   ranked 40 out of 464 in all music  4 years ago

You seem to be a fairly big fan of Tom Petty. I have always really liked his sound. Have you heard Mudcrutch? I haven't but was kind of looking for someone else's opinion on it.


myLot reputation of 54/100. Greyback (429)  4 years ago

Never heard of them.
To be honest, I dont listen to much on music radio anymore. If I do its usually country or soft rock.


myLot reputation of 48/100. sndcain36 (2691)  4 years ago

I haven't heard of them either...but I'm always up for a new artist so i will give them a listen

Oh my goodness....

AFI - Black Sails in the Sunset and Sing the Sorrow
Kill Hannah - Here are the Young Moderns
Death Cab for Cutie - You Can Play these Songs with Chords and Narrow Stairs
Dashboard Confessional - A Mark, A Mission, A Brand, A Scar
She & Him - Volume 1 Even thought it's not even a year old it is an amazing album and has received a lot of acclaim, including Paste Magazine's Album of the Year and a nomination for NPR's All Songs Considered show reader's poll for best album of the year (results to be posted December 8)
Elliott Smith - either/or and the Good Will Hunting soundtrack (there are a few other artists on there but most of it is Elliott Smith)

That's all I can think of right now.


myLot reputation of 77/100. myklj999 (7218)  4 years ago

The "Mudcrutch" album is pretty good if you like Petty, which I do.


myLot reputation of 77/100. myklj999 (7218)  4 years ago

There are a couple videos on youtube if you wanna listen.


myLot reputation of 48/100. sndcain36 (2691)  4 years ago

I like DCC and Elliot Smith but I've only heard individual songs.


myLot reputation of 93/100. crimsonladybug (2534)   ranked 40 out of 464 in all music  4 years ago

Chords is technically DCFC's first album. It was released the way you can buy it now (18 tracks on CD) in 2002 but it was originally released as a cassette in 97 with only 8 songs (President of What, Champagne from a Paper Cup, Pictures in an Exhibition, Hindsight, That's Incentive, Amputation, Two Cars, and Line of Best Fit). Of course, I love it in it's full re-release capacity.

The Good Will Hunting soundtrack is a great way to get people into Elliott Smith. Between the Bars, Miss Misery, Angeles - All terrific tracks. Plus, the instrumental tracks were composed by Danny Elfman, who is freaking amazing. thumbup

Pink Floyd-The Dark Side Of The Moon (you would not believe how many copies of this I wore out on vinyl)
Uriah Heep-Demons and Wizards
Humble Pie-Smokin'
The James Gang-Rides Again
Judas Priest-Metalworks '73-'93
Mountain-Flowers of Evil
The Dave Brubeck Quartet-Time Out
Godsmack-Godsmack
Jethro Tull-Aqualung
Alice Cooper-Killer

Most of mine are from the early 70's, although the Dave Brubeck is from 1959 and the Godsmack from the late 90's. As much of a rocker as I am, that Dave Brubeck album is always ranked in my top 10.


myLot reputation of 48/100. sndcain36 (2691)  4 years ago

I could definitely add Aqualung and Dark Side to my list.

Speaking of Pink Floyd, their fans seem to be firmly divided into two camps. You and I are in the same camp; my husband favors The Wall, but we manage to live peaceably together...lol


myLot reputation of 7/100. OZONE_PLAYER (145)  4 years ago

Wow! ANOTHER Dave Brubeck fan!

That cat could play some hip cat music, man.

the beatles are among my favorites, too, imizzy. but that will not be any surprise. they were so loved because of their muzic.
