TOP 10 Favourite albums!

[Johnny Vinyl]

Thought I'd present to you those albums that I listen to most often, and (quite frankly) never get tired of listening to.

I have all of them on vinyl and CD, plus a few on SA-CD. But the format doesn't matter, it's about the music.

Here we go:

1. Rickie Lee Jones: Rickie Lee Jones (self-titled debut album)
2. Pink Floyd: Dark Side Of The Moon
3. Supertramp: Crisis? What Crisis?
4. Paul McCartney: RAM
5. Dave Brubeck: Time Out
6. The Beatles: The Beatles (White Album)
7. Roxy Music: Avalon
8. Stevie Wonder: Songs In The Key Of Life
9. Mike Oldfield: Tubular bells
10. Fiori-Seguin: Deux Cents Nuits a l'Heure

So what are yours? No crapping on anyone's selection though. These are personal choices and you have every right to enjoy them as you do.

LOL! Most lists do change depending on mood and stuff. Mine have been pretty consistent though over the years. There is the odd one that sneaks in for a few weeks and months, but the ones I listed really are my favourites.

Nice choices you have there QM and very different from what we'll see down the line. I've always been a fan of The Small Faces and OMD, so I like what you selected. And what can one say about The Yardbirds that hasn't been said a thousand times.

Thanks for posting buddy!

Good grief that's a nice selection too. Could there be many more sad stories than Nick Drake's? Makes you wonder what would have happened if he had overcome his illness. A three year recording career and incredible legacy.

You know. I forgot my probably all time favorite off my list and I cannot believe it.

Frankie Goes to Hollywood: Welcome to the Pleasuredome

I also have to agree with the Metallica: Master of Puppets. I won it in vinyl at a carnival when I was a kid. Boy, I wish I still had access to my old albums, but they are probably long gone along with everything else I left at my mom's house.

The Neil Young: Massey Hall 1971 is fast becoming a favourite of mine, but what do I take off the list? Maybe my Top 10 should consist of a Top 11?
