10 Must-Have Albums...

[PeruvianSkies]

3 votes for HARVEST puts in into the master list. Great choices everyone. I can't believe that I forgot a few like Jethro Tull's MINSTREL IN THE GALLERY, oh well. 2 votes also for 2112 and TALES OF MYSTERY AND IMAGINATION.

A word on Neil Young...

I can't explain it. This album [HARVEST] just had such a huge impact on me at a young age...not even the best songs on that album ...like most people like Needle and the Damage Done, which is probably my least favorite along with Heart of Gold...my favorites are Alabama, Words, and Out on the Weekend. Just something about these tunes...they just tug on me.

Kate Bush - The Kick Inside
The Stooges - Funhouse
The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses
Oingo Boingo - Only A Lad
Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream/Mellon Collie
Cat Stevens - Tea for the Tillerman/Teaser and the Firecat
Dead Can Dance - Aion
Elliott Smith - XO
Nick Drake - Five Leaves Left
Tears for Fears - Songs from the Big Chair

Someone else needs to vote for Funhouse, that one always puts me in the greatest mood

The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses

Good choice. This was on my list, but I edited it out. The recording on that record seems to be really subpar. Almost like someone fcuked up at the mastering studio. Went with Oasis instead. Another bad recording, but not as bad.


And as to Neil Young. I know he has a lot of appeal. I don't question his skill. I do like Heart of Gold. If it comes on the radio I won't turn it off. He does get some credit in my book b/c of his work with Pearl Jam. If they like him, then he can't be all bad.

Neil young is probably most versatile artist alive. He can go from mellow slow country to a screeching guitar work sound.

The album Rust Never Sleeps might be a good example of such a diversity. From slow acoustic sound of My My Hay Hay (Out Of The Blue) song, to guitar over loading sound of He Hey, My My (Into the Black).

It's definitely a good bookend idea...although where I come from he isn't talking about HAY.
