[warning: buying a rage agaisnt the machine album will cause you to want to edit your list]

shocked by the number of oldschool metalers on map,

 

Blonde on Blonde - Bob Dylan
Revolver - The Beatles
Hunky Dory - David Bowie
Highway 61 Revisited - Bob Dylan
Five Leaves Left - Nick Drake
Bringing It All Back Home - Bob Dylan
Solid Air - John Martyn
Astral Weeks - Van Morrison

10)Manic Street Preachers - Everything must go.

 

Blimey there's a lot of rockers on MAP. Who'd have thunk it?
I also thinks it's hilarious when people suggest multiple albums from the same band. Out of all of the music in the world the top 10 albums they can think of come from about 4-5 bands?

Just registered to get Led Zep tickets at the O2 arena...damn I hope I get some.

 

In no particular order....


1. Black Sabbath - Paranoid.
2. Iron Maiden - Number of the Beast.
3. Metallica - Master of Puppets.

6. Led Zepellin - Led Zepellin.
7. Joni Mitchell - Blue.
8. Bob Dylan - Blonde on Blonde.
9. Pink Floyd - The Dark Side of the Moon.
10. Electric Ladyland - The Jimi Hendrix Experience.


Are people finding that their top 10 suggestions are not necessarily what they are listening to right now?

 

Not until I wrote the list. Writing the list made me go "blimey I haven't listened to that in ages" so now I am again..

such massive amounts of complete and total crap

Haha...I wouldn't put it quite like that but I was kinda thinking the same thing.
Do people not worry that they basically only like one type of music?
I've never understood that.

 

I apologize for not submissivly liking only the music you like.my mistake.i will not let it happen again.

 

i fixed it for you

 

PFFFFFFFT

You didn't even leave White Zombie in there!! :woo:

 

LOL, c'mon TG let's have your choice

We have some classic stuff just in the last few posts

Tool
Audioslave
Primus
Nick Drake
NIN
Nick Cave
Zep
Maiden
Sabbath
Pixies
SOAD
John Martyn
Jesus and Mary Chain
Tindersticks
Levellers
And even Hawkwind and many more....

I simply could not choose only 10 albums....30 maybe, and certainly some of the above would be included.

What suprises me is the amount of good taste most posters have.

reading back through the thread I get inspired by many choices and think "great choice, I haven't listened to that one for a while"
