Best Albums of all time...
Every now and then the music magazines come up with a list of the top music albums of all time. I believe that Rolling Stone had a list of the top 500 back in 2003. I have that magazine around here somewhere. I was out last night shopping for music for my youngest son of the Disney genre and thought that I deserved to purchase some music for myself. Whenever I buy music now, I am thinking about building a core collection of must have classic CD’s.
So don’t laugh but I bought the greatest hits of….drum roll please…Guns-N-Roses. The funny thing about this purchase is at the time when this band was gold, I sneered at the thought of ever buying their stuff. But now that I am…ahem…a little older…I am seeing that they did produce some classic rock. Favorite song? To me, Sweet Child of Mine, is the quintessential rock love ballad. I always did love that little jiggy dance Axl did to it. If you are wondering whatever became of Axl Rose, here is a good article talking about his reclusive nature, his love for throwing Halloween parties, and his plans for producing a new album.
I also bought a compilation of the best of Jimi Hendrix which includes my favorite song of his, Angel. You can’t have a good music collection without Hendrix. I often wonder if he were born in a later generation, would he still have chosen rock as his genre? We shall never know.
Other CD’s which I feel are essential for a good core collection are:
1. Pink Floyd’s Wish you were here
2. Any Led Zep album
3. Radiohead Pablo Honey, In Rainbows
4. The Rolling Stones…best of
5. Madonna’s Immaculate Conception
6. Nirvana…Nevermind
7. Carole King Tapestry
8. AC/DC live
9. Pearl Jam…even flow
10. Ramones best hits
11. Nine Inch Nails with teeth and downward spiral
12. Alanis Morrisette…jagged little pill
13. Stone Temple Pilots-Core
14. The White Stripes-Elephant
15. David Bowie-changes
16. Bon Jovi-one wild night
17. Joe Cocker’s greatest hits
18. Classic The Kinks
19. Rattle and Hum U2
20. The Black Crowes..southern harmony and musical companion
On my list to get next…sex pistols, the clash, boston, fleetwood mac-rumors, metallica, REM, velvet revolver, etc and so on.
Your turn…what albums are on your list for the best albums of all time?
