Leonard Cohen - Songs From A Room

Tom Waits - Alice

Half Man Half Biscuit - Achtung Bono

The Cure - Disintegration

Joni Mitchell - Blue

To be honest, I could probably have filled the list with five from any of LC, TW or HMHB. Five is definitely not enough!

Alice is a beautiful album.

To be fair I'd definitely sub Steely Dan at half time (if not before) but NOT for the skanky Manks!

I can't believe you haven't gone with The Royal Scam, but then again it should be in my list too, the title track is one of my favourite tracks of all time.

The Who - Quadrophenia

The Jam - Setting Sons*

Jeff Wayne - War of the Worlds

The The - Infected

Green Day - American Idiot

 

* unless I can cheat and have Direction Reaction Creation (the box set with all the albums!)

The Final Cut - Pink Floyd  ( I know strange one with all the others they have, but it’s my go to holiday listening album) 

Tourist - Athlete 

In the Flesh live - Roger Waters

Misplaced Childhood - Marrillion 

Day and Age - The Killers 

I’m loving listening to the Last Domino- Genesis at the moment, I forgot how good they were with their older stuff.

I think R.W. might have been taking the piss.

Valid point about The Royal Scam; I would also include Pretzel Logic which features "Night by Night", another of my "Dan" favourites. 

 

R.I.P. Walter

This is absolutely impossible, with so many years of amazing music to choose from.

Nice to see a few others naming Sheer Heart Attack, as this one is ALWAYS in my top five.

My current favourite, the one in my car's CD player

Bowie - Metrobolist.

The Man Who Sold The World Tony Visconti's remix is fantastic.

Really difficult but consistent for me:

No Holiday - The Muffs. 

Punk in Drublic - NOFX 

Give Em Enough Rope - The Clash. 

Live and Dangerous - Thin Lizzy. 

Strangers in the Night - UFO. 

Chose No Holiday over Really Really Happy as its the last album we hear the beautifully brilliant Kim Shattuck.

Fun question! At the moment, I'd go for:

Oasis - Definitely Maybe
Massive Attack - Blue Lines
Boards of Canada - Geogaddi
Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works 85-92
Queens of the Stone Age - Songs for the Deaf

Gotta love a bit of Boards

Misplaced Childhood is a great LP

One of those Rock albums that was deemed acceptable by the punk crowd at that time. I have a copy that I drag out on a regular basis, I seem to remember it was considered one of the best live albums ever. When I fancy a bit of headbanging, it comes out with Ramones It's Alive another of the great live albums.
