Top 10 albums of all time

[gerg]

I'll have a go, no particular order

Avalanches - Since I left you (on high rotation)
Infected Mushroom - Converting vegetarians (my 1st intro to psy)
Led Zeppelin 2 (classic album start to finish - no filler)
St Germain - the tourist (I think thats what its called)
RHCP - Blood Sugar Sex Magic (best gig ever - about 1991/2 @ Hordern - they did an encore with construction helmets with 1 metre flames coming out the top of the helmets)
Pink Floyd - Dark side or The Wall (both masterpieces)
Massive Attack - Blue lines (although all their albums are quality)
Chemical Brothers - all their older albums (legendary group who created some classic electro & film clips)
Prodigy - Jilted Generation (combine half the songs off this album and half off "the fat" and it would be number 1)
BT - Movement in Still Life (great album from my party years)

Special mention to Myf too.

Both those albums are really excellent. There's a great documentary on the making of them, and the sheer amont of research put into the unpublished Woody Guthrie songs on them is incredible. It's well worth hunting down if you like the records.

Thought this needed a bump, been thinking hard about it. Currently in my life so far (but changes as I change)

In no order;

Billy Bragg & Wilco - Mermaid Avenue I

The Pixies - Dolittle

The Smiths - The Queen is Dead

Joe Strummer & the Mescaleros - Global a go-go

Sigur Ros - ()

Wolf Parade - Apologies to the Queen Mary

Iron & Wine - The Shepherd's Dog

Public Image Limited - This is what you want.

The Album leaf - Into the blue again

The Good Son - Nick Cave & the bad seeds

Many others in my top 100 but these albums seem to be always on high rotation.

As often does, this has now changed slightly, now in order of awesomeness..

Joe Strummer & the Mescaleros - Global a go-go

Billy Bragg & Wilco - Mermaid Avenue I

The Pixies - Dolittle

The Smiths - The Queen is Dead

Sigur Ros - ()

Jeff Buckley - Grace

Wolf Parade - Apologies to the Queen Mary

Iron & Wine - The Shepherd's Dog

The Album leaf - Into the blue again

Pop will eat itself - This is the day, this is the hour, this is this.

Again, this is fluid & will change but has remained fairly consistent for the last five years.
