AppyDAZE Posted May 8, 2020 Report Share Posted May 8, 2020 Still working on mine, so it's over to you lot. It's 10 albums ONLY btw Actually, I've got "Pepper" and Sheer Heart Attack in my bag already... i just need to narrow it down to 8 more. NOT easy. If you can't narrow it down to just 10, let's have your I'm definitely taking this one albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppyDAZE Posted May 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2020 I'm also sticking The Hurting by Tears for fears in there. For personal reasons and memories, and the fact that is a bloody good album. A real one off debut that they never really managed to live up to after, in my book. Great record though.

Ronnie Sinclair Posted May 8, 2020 Report Share Posted May 8, 2020 I've succumbed to that 10 albums wheeze on social media (much to my chagrin as I normally don't follow fads like this, but it relieves the boredom these days can bring): Here are mine (In no particular order, I have unusual musical tastes though - my 'prime' years were the mid-90's so that features heavily) THE PRODIGY - Music For The Jilted Generation THE JAM - Sound Affects LUNIZ - Operation Stackola ORBITAL - Insides OASIS - Definitely Maybe DUBSTAR - Disgraceful THE DOVE SHACK - This Is The Shack YELLO - Baby NORTHSIDE - Chicken Rhythms MOBY - Everything Is Wrong (Remixes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

internetjef Posted May 8, 2020 Report Share Posted May 8, 2020 Mine would be something like .... arcade fire - funeral bloc party - silent alarm parquet courts - light up gold car seat headrest - teens of denial Tame impala - Lonerism radiohead - ok computer OR in rainbows Caribou - swim queens of the Stone Age - songs for the deaf Vampire weekend - vampire weekend The National - alligator OR boxer Even though I consider myself to listen to a pretty broad range of music, nearly all of the above are alternative/indie/rock guitar bands ha Also I like loads of old stuff from before I was born but prob listen to more greatest hits or singles compilations than full albums (other than Beatles, pink floyd and a few others). That why there is an absence of anything pre 90s on fav albums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Team In Keynsham Posted May 8, 2020 Report Share Posted May 8, 2020 Albums that would always be in the 10; Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures New Order - Low-life Public Enemy- It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back The The - Infected Albums that would make it depending on my mood: Velvet Underground And Nico - Eponymous NWA - Straight Outta Compton Colourfield - Virgins And Philistines And then a whole lot more.

And Its Smith Posted May 9, 2020 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 It would have to be albums that mean something to me and evoke memories and/or bring me joy In no order Fugees - The Score Sia - Colour the Small One Sia - Some People Have Real Problems The Strokes - Is This It? Arctic Monkeys - Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not Nilufer Yanya - Miss Universe Paolo Nutini - Caustic Love Kings of Leon - Aha Shake Heartbreak Coldplay - Parachutes Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Fever to Tell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Dazzler Posted May 9, 2020 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 This is a great thread. I keep getting requests on my Facebook account to share my top 7 albums and post the covers one day at a time and nominate another FB friend to do the same, but never take the nomination up as 1) my laptop is a bit knackered after I spilt a can of Tyskie over it so I have trouble pasting album covers on FB and 2) I can't be arsed to put pressure on someone else who doesn't really want to do it either! Anyway here's my 10 and, of course this will vary from day to day depending on mood etc. Would say that the top 5 will always be in the top 10 whatever my mood.. One rule I have stipulated for my own list is different artists for each selection. 1 - Beach Boys - Pet Sounds 2 - Beatles - Revolver 3 - Elbow - Seldom Seen Kid 4 - Joni Mitchell- Hejira 5 - Jefferson Airplane - After Bathing At Baxter's 6 - Velvet Underground and Nico - Andy Warhol Banana Cover (otherwise known as Velvet Underground and Nico!) 7 - David Bowie - The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders From Mars 8 - U2- The Unforgettable Fire 9 - The Who - Who's Next 10 - Stevie Wonder - Talking Book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City Rocker Posted May 9, 2020 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 Totally impossible task isn't it? This is my instinctive list, naturally skewed towards my youth, but doesn't even scratch the surface. No soul or Motown? No Smiths, Bunnymen, Happy Mondays? What about ska and reggae? No Pistols, Buzzcocks, The Strokes, Mott The Hoople or The Sweet? Only one Beatles album? Smokey Robinson, Marvin Gaye? Where are The Stones, The Who or The Kinks? And aren't Toots & The Maytals meant to be my favourite band, where are they?? The Clash - London Calling The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses The Beatles - Revolver The Undertones - The Undertones Oasis - Definitely Maybe Blur - Modern Life Is Rubbish De La Soul - 3 Feet High And Rising The Specials - The Specials The Jam - All Mod Cons The Doors - The Doors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant album. Then again his output from Hunky Dory to Lodger (or maybe even through to Let's Dance) stands against anyone for consistency.

What this thread does is not only reflect our individual musical taste but our generation as well. Being born on the 50s my favourite albums are from my late teenage years into my 20s. Being a student for much of the time I got introduced to other students musical taste. One buddy in particular was a huge Cat Stevens fan and had all his albums and that’s why Tea for the Tillerman is on my list. It must be my age but I don’t listen much to modern day stuff. I think Adele was the last CD I bought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Team In Keynsham Posted May 9, 2020 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 More spring to mind as possibles: Lou Reed - Transformer Bowie - Ziggy Stardust (thanks for the reminder @Lanterne Rouge) Chameleons - Script Of The Bridge Carole King - Tapestry Stone Roses- Stone Roses The Cure - Head On The Door Beach Boys - Pet Sounds Marvin Gaye - What's Going On Narrowing down to 10 is a tough ask.

stephenkibby. Posted May 9, 2020 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 Don't think I could whittle it down to 10. One I would have in though is the last ever Album from Curtis Mayfield. "New World Order" Most people would only have heard his 70's hit "Move On Up" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slartibartfast Posted May 9, 2020 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 I couldn't do it ! Looking at my rack of albums (literally 100s) The 10 would change daily depending on my mood .
