Things are getting a little boring around here. Here’s your chance to pipe in. Ten Albums. ‘Desert Island Disks;. Or choose your own criteria like ‘best 10 albums ever’. Whatever. I think ‘albums you ought to own, fool’ is a better title.
Some general rules:
No making fun of other people’s taste.
No commenting whatsoever until you post your list.
Well, I am starting it, so here’s my take, with the first one in order. Some nasty cuts were made.
Astral Weeks, Van Morrison
Kind of Blue, Miles Davis
Joshua Tree, U2
Grace, Jeff Buckley
OK Computer, Radiohead
Marvin Gaye, What’s Goin’ On?
Peter Gabriel, Passion
R.E.M, Murmur
Buffalo Tom, Let Me Come Over
Mark Lanegan, Whiskey for the Holy Ghost
I think I’m using ‘hall of fame’ credentials, meaning that deserving albums released within the last five years are being waitlisted (read: Shins, Oh Inveted World). Damn, that’s 11, I need a list of twenty, really.
