10 albums you just can't live without

[Gandalf]

Having just seen the thread about the Rolling Stone top 500 albums list I thought I would start another albums listings topic surrounding the albums that we just cannot live without, baby!!

My list could change depending on mood, time of day or day of week but a pretty nice listing for now would be:

In no particular order:

1) Grandaddy- The Sophtware slump
2) Bob Dylan- Blood on the tracks
3) The Divine Comedy- Promenade
4) The Beatles- White album
5) New Order- Technique
6) Belle and Sebastian- Push barman to open old wounds (a collection of ep tracks but songwriting
excels even much of their album work)
7) David Bowie- Station to station
Arcade Fire- Funeral
9) Morrissey- Ringleader of the tormentors
10) Scott Walker- Scott 2

The smiley next to the album called funeral was not meant to come out like that!!

1. Van Halen- Best of Both worlds (most recent greatest hits album. I'll just say this to save some space because i have all of theirs albums excepts for 2)
2. Motley Crue - Red, White, and Crue.
3. Metallica - black album (the best songs on it are the ones they usually don't play on the radio)
4. Megadeth - Countdown to extinction (the remastered one)
5. AC/DC - W/eTF their live two dsic set thing is called
6. Drowning Pool - Desensitized

If you want a girl to dump you in record time put that on the car sing it at the top of your voice with the windows down and make sure the people in the next car at traffic lights can hear you .

[Unknowndonor]

Have to have more than 10. But here are a few-

Alice in Chains-Dirt
Pantera-Vulgar Display of Power
Spice 1-187 he wrote
Dre-The Chronic
Sepultura-Arise
2PAC-All eyes on me
some Van Halens, and Zeppelins, some Metallicas, and my list would greatly exceed 10. I just can't dwindle it down. I have around 200 cds, and my brother has about 300 or so. To make a list of ten, I had never thought of, and it would take alot of consideration, and time. I'll come back to this at a later date.

[Memphis]

Im not sure about the living without bit but here goes.

1) Pearl Jam Ten
2) The Wonderstuff Never Loved Elvis
3) Snoop Doggy Style
4) Seal Seal
