    Sorry, 10 is waaaay too limiting so there is no way I can keep it to 10, so I did 25. No particular order. If you really must narrow it down, then take the top 10 listed here, but I wouldn't be without any of these 25. In fact I really would like to make it at least 100 that I couldn't do without.

    4. Pictures at an Exhibition - Emerson Lake and Palmer also the Telarc recording of same.

    6. Transformer - Lou Reed
    7. Armed Forces - Elvis Costello
    8. Sound Affects - The Jam
    9. Talking Heads - Fear of Music
    10. Zoot Allures - Frank Zappa
    11. Close to the Edge - Yes
    12. Machine Head - Deep Purple
    13. Nilsson Schmilsson - Harry Nilsson
    14. Harvest - Neil Young
    15. Midnight Oil - 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
    16. Houses of the Holy - Led Zeppelin

    MUST HAVE...for what or whom?...and including how many categories of music?

    Seems a little like asking an astrophysicist what his favorite ten meteorites are. I'll tell ya what, take Slumpy's top ten discs and jayra's top ten albums, throw 'em up in the air and whatever ten hit the ground first are my picks...

    I realize that coming up with ONLY 10 is nearly impossible, but that is not really the point of this thread... its not that you can't have other albums that you think are worthy of ownership, but that we can compile a master list of 10 that anyone and everyone should have in their collection.

    Regardless of how much unanimity there might be around a list of 10, say, rock albums, nothing would entice me to obtain them. For me, today, that genre is simply impertinent to musical enjoyment.

They are quite possibly my favourite Australian rock band along with Mental As Anything and Cold Chisel. "10 to 1" and "Diesels and Dust" are my faves from the Oils, but they have a lot of great stuff. I remember going to see them as a pub band in the early eighties and they were fantastic. Did you see the video "Black Rain Falls" when the Oils pulled up in the Centre of New York City outsied the Exxon building on a the back of a flat top at lunchtime and started playing to the lunchtime crowd? That is one of the best! Looking at you age, we are of nearly the same vintage, so maybe taste and age go along together.

    what surprises me is that the Oils arent more well known in the states. one of the best rock bands ever, regardless of geographical location, and the best live band bar none. to say i am a fan would be an understatement, they are my favorite band without question. i've got all their commercial releases and all the live footage that i can get my hands on, Black Rain Falls is no exception.

    It surprises me also that they are not better known world wide. Maybe their political stance upsets some of the record execs
    Anyway, it's good to see someone in the States who knows them and likes their music, so you must have good taste.

    They were pretty big up here in Canada in their heyday.

    I would have to say for my tastes a good album to have would be the Counting Crows first disc. You can listen to the whole thing with out forwarding any of them.

    Yeah, but as the resident musical dilettente I respect and admire his good taste while wallowingly embracing your bad taste. Not since our dear, departed Dusty Chalk has anyone accumulated such a useless and affected cornucopia of musical nonsense as I

    OK since Bob resurrected this thread.
    1. Vicente Amigo - Ciudad De Las Ideas
    2. Vicente Amigo - Poeta
    3. Vicente Amigo - Un Momento En El Sonido
    4. Vicente Amigo - Vivencias Imaginadas
    5. Vicente Amigo - De Mi Corazon Al Aire
    6. Vicente Amigo has also just released Paseo De Gracia although I have not heard it yet, I somehow am sure it will find a spot in my top 6.

    7 - 10 Hundreds if not thousands of works of musical art, and none of them have ever been played on top 40 radio.

    Great lists - gives me some ideas to go check out next time in my local record shop.

    Glad to see Jackson Browne make someone's list. He's probably my favorite most listenable and most replayed out of the make vocalist/rock guys I have.

    I highly recommend his Acoustic Vol 1&2 albums - excellent recordings to boot. But it is just him with the piano and guitar. I find them immensely replayable.
