NSC's 100 essential albums

[Scampi]

Over to nsc to produce the list of the 100 albums every record collection should have. You can nominate any album by any artist, but only 1 record per artist will make the 100.

To start you off;

The Rolling Stones masterpiece, the definition of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts.

 

[BBassic]

Oasis - Definitely, Maybe

Great, great, great album.

 

[tinx]

The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses

Nothing else needs to be said on this one.

 

[Superphil]

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars - Bowie
IV - Led Zep
Appetite for Destruction - Guns 'n Roses

 

[Simster]

This could be quite good. I'll go for:

The Cure - Seventeen Seconds

I'd also suggest an album by The Smiths but am struggling to decide which one...

I was just deciding on a Cure album, i had settled for Disintegration but am happy with Seventeen Seconds.

Can I stick in Abbey Road?
and Jurassic 5 by Jurassic 5

[Guinness Boy]

Pink Floyd - The Wall
Nick Drake - Bryter Layter
Simon and Garfunkel - Bridge over Troubled Water

[Herr Tubthumper]

As I always think people look a bit twattish if they mention an obscure album in these kind of lists I'll go for Achtung Baby by U2.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

I'm totally with the OP though. Exile is a masterpiece.

This would be a good thread but I think it would be better if people numbered them, chose one per post and only added their favourite albums until the latter numbers otherwise it will just become another long list thread.

I'll go with Streets - Original Pirate Material

 

[Simster]

It's all about this one for me:

 

[Meade's Ball]

Public Enemy - It Takes a Nation of Millions
(Smog) - A River Ain't Too Much to Love
Pavement - Wowee Zowee

 

[xenophon]

 

[MikeySmall]

I'll help you - The Queen is Dead
