Top Ten Favorite Albums


Recommended Posts

Ok, everybody. I know that we have lots of different tastes in music around these parts, so I'm curious...what are your top ten favorite albums of all time? Now, remember, these are the albums that YOU, personally, like to listen to. Not the top ten GREATEST albums, not the top ten most influential, just your top ten favorite. Pretend you're going to a desert island where nobody else can listen to these albums and judge your taste in music. If all ten are The Beatles, that's fine. If all ten are Hannah Montana, that's fine too (though I wouldn't admit it).

 

By the way, I'm not looking for a 10-1 ranking, just your ten favorite, no orderly countdown necessary

 

So here's mine...

 

Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti

Bruce Springsteen - Born to Run

Queen - Sheer Heart Attack

The Doors - Strange Days

The Beatles - The Beatles (white album)

The Killers - Sam's Town

The Fratellis - Costello Music

Green Day - American Idiot

Jethro Tull - Aqualung

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Stadium Arcadium

Out of the hundreds of thousands, I couldn't pick a top ten to save my soul.

 

The Greatest Hits of Frank Sinatra? Johnny Mathis? The Beatles? Ella Fitzgerald? Sammy Davis, Jr.? Philip Sousa? The Great Mahalia Jackson? Tennessee Ernie Ford?

 

I do like What's Going On? - Marvin Gaye.
