Broadening my music tastes

emphyrian · Mar 9, 2014

I enjoy a varied musical taste, from Metallica to Rat pack. I read the thread about Guns and Roses and peoples view that Appetite for Destruction is one of the best ever albums. This lead me to think what other albums people class as best ever.

So i have a new game to play. List three albums you believe to be the one of the best ever and other people can listen to them and then post a reply here as to what they thought. Gives me a chance to hopefully listen to some new stuff too.

So my three are:

Master of Puppets by Metallica
Legend by Bob Marley
The strength/the sound/the songs by Volbeat

Is This It- The Strokes
(What's The Story) Morning Glory- Oasis
Antidotes- Foals

My opinion, don't expect many people to agree with me.

Play on.......on your own !

JamesAndTheGiantHead · Mar 9, 2014

Rumours - Fleetwood Mac
Doolittle -OR- Surfer Rosa/Come on Pilgrim (depending on preference) - Pixies
Revolver - Beatles

No shocks or surprises, but if I had to listen to three albums for the rest of my days it'd probably be those three. Covers most bases.

*-still don't have a record player though.

Impossible to pick 3 favourite albums, so I'll go for top 3 listened to according to my iPod/iTunes which I guess by default must mean they're close to my favourites!

Is This Wembley - Ben Waters
Classic Rock - Joe Bonamassa
Lift The Lid - Jools Holland and his Rhythm & Blues Orchestra

Doc Lynam · Mar 9, 2014

Brownie points if anyone recognises the second drummer playing on this album!

2:Exile on Main Street

3:Aphex Twin Selected Ambient Works 85-92

We Can't Dance - Genesis

Can't do a definitive top three as they change all the time:

'Joe's Garage' - Frank Zappa
'Alice' - Tom Waits
'Wish You Were Here' - Pink Floyd

Good to see 'Nonsuch' get a mention from [MENTION=12839]Goldstone Rapper[/MENTION] although I probably would have picked 'Skylarking'
