Sanners Posted July 1, 2010 Posted July 1, 2010 1. Afghan Whigs: Black Love2. Eat Skull: Sick to Death 3. Woods: At Echo Lake 4. Congos: heart of the Congos 5. Guided By Voices: Alien Lanes of course tomorrow I will have 5 totally different albums. Wait, let me add Red Red Meat: Bunny Gets Paid.

ExiledInIllinois Posted July 2, 2010 Posted July 2, 2010 1. BoDeans: Joe Dirt Car 2. Van Morrison: Moondance 3. Neil Young: Comes a Time 4. 10,000 Maniacs: Our Time in Eden And I have to break a little away from the artsy, fartsy, folksy (you can tell my leaning): 5. Donald Fagen: The Nightfly And really breaking away towards old-school techno: 6. Yaz: Upstairs at Eric's... I know that is six...
Justice Posted July 2, 2010 Posted July 2, 2010 1. NWA Niggaz 4 Life 2. Chronic 3. Chronic 2001 4. Eminem Marshall Mathers LP 5. Outkast Aquemini
Buftex Posted July 2, 2010 Posted July 2, 2010 1. Steely Dan: Citizen Steely Dan (4 Disks) 2. Captain Beyond: Captain Beyond 3. Glenn Gould: The Complete Original Jacket Collection (80 disks. That's cool, right?) 4. A Van Morrison album. (Probably one of the following: Astral Weeks, Moondance, Veedon Fleece, What's Wrong With This Picture?) 5. Chet Baker: My Funny Valentine At least that's tonight's list. An outstanding choice for "world's crappiest iPod"!!! Sorry The Dean, couldn't resist...I miss the Steely Dan jabs! My 5 discs would be: 1- "Return Of the Grievous Angel"- Gram Parsons 2- "Let It Bleed"- Rolling Stones 3- "Exile In Guyville"- Liz Phair 4- "London Calling"- The Clash 5- "Feel Like Going Home"- Charlie Rich These are all albums that I have loved for years, and never tire of hearing... but choosing 5 albums is an impossible task.

In 1994 the mother of my closest friend gave me a bunch of lps in return for introducing her to Robert Forster and telling her some Nixon stories. Weird but true. Gilded Palace of Sin and GP were two of those LPs. Both of those records have been some of the defining music of my life.
Cugalabanza Posted July 2, 2010 Posted July 2, 2010 New day, so I get to submit a new five... My Bloody Valentine - Loveless Richard Hell and the Voidoids - Blank Generation Butthole Surfers - Hairway to Stephen Leonard Cohen - Greatest Hits Ween - The Pod
The Dean Posted July 2, 2010 Posted July 2, 2010 An outstanding choice for "world's crappiest iPod"!!! Sorry The Dean, couldn't resist...I miss the Steely Dan jabs!. Bastard! These are all albums that I have loved for years, and never tire of hearing... but choosing 5 albums is an impossible task. Of course it is impossible. But you have the right idea, IMO. I understood the situation to be, you only get 5, and you are stuck with those 5 for life. Sort of like "Desert Island" albums. I couldn't understand why people would pick 5 from the same genre, or something new they like a lot at the moment. Wouldn't you want a mix of music, and something you know you will still like many years later. But, Looking back at the question, it doesn't say you can't change the albums on the iPod, or that you are stuck with only those 5 for life. So maybe other people didn't use the Desert Island standard.

Seen some interesting selections and it will keep me busy for a while checking them all out. Many thanks to all who have played along! Keep playing!
Spiderweb Posted July 3, 2010 Posted July 3, 2010 Led Zeppelin - Physical Grafftti Alice In Chains - Dirt Metallica - Black Beatles - Abbey Road Gerry Rafferty - Baker Street I guess I'm somewhat stuck in a time warp...... Yet, this is impossible, I'd be changing them all the Time.
Philly McButterpants Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 Today's list would be . . . 1) Rush - Counterparts 2) Paul Collins' Beat - The Kids are the Same 3) Gin Blossoms - New Miserable Experience 4) The Who - Quadrophenia (technically it's on 2 discs, but some peeps have picked 80 disc collections, so ) 5) Cheap Trick - In Color
K-9 Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 Some great works to be sure but I'm surprised no mention of classical, blues, and jazz, other than a Coltrane reference. Granted I didn't read the entire thread and I apologize if I missed them. I'd want at least one CD from every genre except hip-hop rap. Nothing against it but it never took with me. Narrowing it down will take me awhile.
