PostPosted: Tue Aug 07, 2007 3:29 pm    Post subject: Greatest Albums of All Time

I needed a break from the Lakers forum.

I would like to see everyone's top 5 greatest albums of all time. Now, real important, not necessarily your personal favorites, but albums that you know have signicant relevance in rock and roll history whether you love it or not.

Here is my list:

1) Beatles Sgt Peppers - Greatest band ever
2) Beach Boys Pet Sounds - I never really cared for them till I heard this about a year ago. Brian Wilson is composer, arranger, writer, genius!
3) Marvin Gaye What's Going On - Beautiful voice....
4) Clash London Calling - 1979 this band was years ahead of its time.
5) Radiohead OK Computer

It'd be a tough call, but I've always been more of a fan of The Unforgettable Fire -- although JT does have one of my absolute favorites from them -- no, not any of the big three....Running to Stand Still.
Quote:
Peter Gabriel (1st self-titled album)

More of a fan of self-titled albums 3 & 4. I always thought the first one was hit-and-miss. It has two brilliant songs in Here Comes the Flood and Solsbury Hill, but the rest is uneven. Down The Dolce Vita is fine, but it's got nothing on Kiss of Life from 4.

I hear you about Wish You Were Here (Shine on you crazy diamond slays me), but I think in terms of greatness, DSOTM is just classic perfection. I guess it is possible to like one album better while conceding the greater greatness (what a clunky phrase, sorry) of the other.

My first U2 experience was the album (yes album, not cd) War, which is much rawer and less technically proficient than the others mentioned, but extremely powerful.
