Simple question, really. And put them in order. No cop-outs like "aww but I like all these the same." Too bad. You have to decide which you'd want to keep more, because lets say your house is burning and you only have a few seconds to decide...so in what order do you grab the 10 that you wish to save? :p

Mine-

1. Nirvana - In Utero
2. Kyuss - Welcome to Sky Valley
3. Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin I
4. Rage Against the Machine - Rage Against the Machine
5. Dead Kennedys - Fresh Fruits for Rotting Vegetables
6. Tool - Aenima
7. Alice in Chains - Dirt
8. Monster Magnet - Dopes to Infinity
9. Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness
10. Black Sabbath - Master of Reality

Since all my albums are contained in the same case, I'd save all of them, but if that weren't the case, I'd save:

10)Nightwish - Once
9)Lord of the Rings III - Soundtrack
8)Lord of the Rings II - Soundtrack
7)Lord of the Rings I - Soundtrack
6)My depression compilation
5)The Best of Bond
4)Within Temptation - Mother Earth
3)L'Âme Immortelle - Gezeiten
2)Rammstein - Reise, Reise
1)Nightwish - Wishmaster

All 90 or so of my CDs are in the same leather case. Can't I save them all?

10. Coheed and Cambria - In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3
9. G. Love and Special Sauce - Yeah, It's That Easy
8. Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream
7. Offspring - Smash
6. The Rentals - Seven More Minutes

4. Green Day - Dookie
3. Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin II
2. Led Zeppelin - Houses of the Holy
1. Led Zeppelin - Zoso, IV, Untitled, etc. etc.

Well, technically I'd save the bootlegs and other valuable/out of print CDs. But I'll play along:

10)Therapy? - Infernal Love
9)Hole - Pretty on the Inside
8)Babes in Toyland - Fontanelle
7)Motörhead - No Remorse
6)Napalm Death - Noise For Music's Sake
5)R.E.M. - The Best of 1988-2003
4)Local H - As Good As Dead
3)Metallica - Metallica
2)The Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness
1)Nirvana - Nevermind

Note: I deliberately limited it to one album per artist. And I included Greatest Hits albums, even though that's cheating.

1. Pink Floyd - The Wall
2. Weezer - The Blue Album
3. Red Hot Chili Peppers - Blood Sugar Sex Magik
4. Offspring - Smash
5. Sum 41 - All Killer No Filler
6. Offspring - Americana
7. Red Hot Chili Peppers- Californication
8. Pink Floyd - The Dark Side Of The Moon
9. Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness
10. Blink 182 - Cheshire Cats

*i didnt add Greatest hits.

The Blitz - Voice of a Generation
Badlands - False Guestures

Indian Summer - Discography(all 9 songs on one CD)
Saetia - A Retrospective(all 17 songs, one CD)

6.Ramones-Loud, Fast
7.Smashing Pumpkins-Rotton Apples
8.Eigheen Visions-Obsession
9.Pink Floyd-The Wall
10.White Stripes-Get Behind Me Satan

i didnt repeat any of the artists...because...well..BECUASE! and honestly...these were just the ones that i thought of first really. it would take me for-ev-er to make a reeeeeally good list...but this one is pretty good, eh? :D

I'd just grab the seven mix cds i made recently- they've got pretty much all my favourite songs on. But the three others?

Red Hot Chilli Peppers- By the Way
Green Day- American Idiot
The White Stripes- Elephant

hhhhhhhhmmmmmm well i would choose:
10. Sum 41 - Chuck
9. The Offspring - ixnay on the hombre
8. Placebo - Placebo
7. Marilyn Manson - The dope show (signed promotion disc :P)
6. Slipknot - Volume 3: the subliminal verses
5. Funeral for a friend - Casually dressed and deep in conversation
4. A - A vs monkey kong
3. Rammstein - Mutter
2. Jimmy eat world - Bleed american
1. Slipknot - Iowa

Sorry, my first list didn't really address the stipulations of being in order or being albums that I would save were my house burning down (why I wouldn't just grab the crates is a bigger question, though).
So, in that case (copied directly from my tradelist):

1.Get Up Kids.Four Minute Mile LP | TEST PRESS
2.Get Up Kids.Red Letter Day 10" | TEST PRESS
3.Ester Drang/Antennae Lodge.split 7" | black | 500
4.Get Up Kids.Loveteller 7" | TEST PRESS, blue #11/12

9.Mates of State.Our Constant Concern LP | purple | 300
10.Circle Takes the Square.As the Roots Undo LP | tour | #006/125

2. Cradle Of Filth-Midian

Limited to one cd per band, and I tried to pick the ones with the best songs or best put-together cd for each band.
You feel that Midian is better than Cruelty and the Beast?

10) Sumday - Grandaddy
9) Pieces of Eight - Styx
8) Iron Maiden - Iron Maiden
7) Abbey Road - The Beatles
6) Greatest Hits - Megadeth
5) A Day At The Races - Queen
4) Van Halen - Van Halen
3) Let It Be - The Beatles
2) Piece of Mind - Iron Maiden
1) Brave New World - Iron Maiden

All 90 or so of my CDs are in the same leather case. Can't I save them all?

No :p

Hm, The Blue Album by Weezer is popular. That only *just* missed my list.

W-ell, that is a difficult question... Sorry, but I don't think i'd be able to put this in much of an order other than alphabetically :p How much I like each album depends entirely on what mood I'm in. In fact, I'm sure if you ask me this same question a week from now, you'd get a different answer.

So, in ALPHABETICAL ORDER:

Burzum - Hliðskjálf
Einstürzende Neubauten - Ende Neu
Finntroll - Jaktens Tid
Haggard - Eppur Si Muove
Laibach - WAT
Moonsorrow - Kivenkantaja
Shaman - Idja
Therion - Secret of the Runes
Tristania - World of Glass
Ulver - Themes From William Blake's The Marriage Of Heaven and Hell

Having said that, at the moment my favourite is probably Themes From William Blake's The Marriage Of Heaven and Hell. Ulver just bridge so many genres that I'm interested in, Black Metal, Folk, Folk Metal, Electronica, Industrial.... And this album kinda represents a crossing point of all those styles, while still being something totally different and compelling on it's own terms. :cool: Plus this was my first introduction to the mythology of William Blake. What a genius/crazy weirdo.

EDIT: although technically all of these are only on my ipod and pc's hard drive, along with about 35 gig of other music :p So in the burning house scenario, I'd easily be able to save all of it without having to make a top ten list ;)

The new Coldplay album is very good! I love the chillout songs sometimes, especially when driving.

You feel that Midian is better than Cruelty and the Beast?

As a cd, yes. I like the songs off of Cruelty and The Beast better, but as Midian is sort of a concept cd for Clive Barker's work, it works better as a whole than Cruelty and the Beast.

Help She Can't Swim, Super Fashionista Dance Troupe
The Futureheads, The Futureheads
Much much respect for the two above entries! (I know you may not believe me, but the Futureheads are actually my friends from Sunderland, I used to live there, and weirdly I used to go to scouts with Baz and Dave Hyde. The story continues from there, but probably deserves a separate post..)

OK, mine:
* Fugazi - In on the Kill Taker
* Shellac - Action Park
* Trail of Dead - Madonna
* Bluetip - Post Mortem Anthems
* Mogwai - Rock Action
* Q and not U - Different Damage
* The Futureheads - The Futureheads
* The Mars Volta - Deloused in the Comatorium
* Explosions in the Sky - The Earth is not a Cold Dead Place
* Wire - Chairs Missing

That's the best I could come up with at short notice. Needless to say it changes constantly. I think individual songs can stand out for someone more than whole albums. For example, these are some songs that I always have time for:
* Les Savy Fav - Meet Me in the Dollar Bin
* Q and not U - X-Polynation
* Retisonic - Filthy Way to Lose Yourself
* McLusky - Slay!
* Blonde Redhead - Suimasen

Okay...

wow thats very mega! ive met all of them twice, except dave, and they are really nice guys.

How much better is von hier an blind than Reklamation? All I've heard so far is Nur Ein Wort...
Well, I like Von Hier An Blind more because its general musical style is a little bit nachdenklicher than Reklamation. Wheras the latter one has relatively many "happy" or "funny" songs (like "Die Reklamation", "Aurelie" to some extent also "Müssen Nur Wollen"), the songs are on Von Hier An Blind are either a more aggressive or more melancholic (especially "Darf Ich das Behalten?", my favorite from the album).
Basically, the whole record seems to be more mature than the first one. But I really, really like them both and when I had to decide which one is better, Reklamation came in a very, very close second.
On their official site, there are samples from all current songs, so you can judge from yourself.

Thanks :D

Tough call. Tough call. in no particular order, then.

1. R.E.M. - New Adventures in Hi-Fi
2. Ravi Shankar and Philip Glass - Passages
3. Royal Philharmonic Orchestra - Symphonic Led Zeppelin
4. Radiohead - The Bends
5. Primus - Tales from the Punchbowl
6. They Might Be Giants - Apollo 18
7. Midnight Oil - Diesel and Dust
8. Peter Gabriel - Us
9. Moxy Fruvous - Bargainville
10. Monster Magnet - God Says No

Simple question, really. And put them in order. No cop-outs like "aww but I like all these the same." Too bad. You have to decide which you'd want to keep more, because lets say your house is burning and you only have a few seconds to decide...so in what order do you grab the 10 that you wish to save?

Difficult - heres a list, but if you ask me tomorrow or the day after it would likely look quite different:

The Clash - Sandinista
Rorschach - Remain Sedate
Bruce Springsteen - Greetings From Asbury Park, NJ
Jawbreaker - Bivouac
Public Enemy - It Takes A Nation Of Millions To hold Us Back
Michelle Shocked - Arkansas Traveller
Ian Dury & The Blockheads - New Boots And Panties
MC5 - Back In The USA
Patti Smith Group - Horses
Poison Idea - Feel The Darkness

(It is criminal that I haven't managed to fit The Slits Cut LP on that list.)

If there was a fire and I was standing next to my record collection though, I'd be more likely to actually grab one of my boxes of singles - in comparison LPs are relatively replaceable.

The Postal Service- "Give Up"
Caribou- "The Milk of Human Kindness"
Sigur Ros- "()"
Architecture in Helsinki- "In Case We Die"
Jimmy Eat World- "Clarity"
Mum- "Yesterday Was Dramatic Today is Ok"
The Notwist- "Neon Golden"
Skeleton Key- "Fanastic Spikes Through Balloon"
Brian Eno- "Ambient 1: Music for Airports"
Elliott Smith- "X/O"

(Bold = Favourite)

Alright, Jesus fucking Christ. Why does everyone have to get snotty about absolutely everything on here? Just because I like a fucking album, and there's a thread that...oh wait, yep, does seem to be about, you know, albums that people like, doesn't mean that you have to take the piss just because you have no taste (and are wrong).

Whoah horsey...lol The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band is one of the best albums ever made. I wasn't being snide. I agree with you!

Wow. Chill out. She was complimenting your choice.

Oh...damn. Sorry.

Oh...damn. Sorry.
Maybe these forums need a sarcasm button that you can press when you're not being serious, so that such misconceptions are ruled out. :p

Oh...damn. Sorry.

Ah, don't sweat it..np. :)

Oh, how about David Wilcox? He's fabulous. I actually know him in real life. He's awesome, when he's not drunk...lol :)

All 90 or so of my CDs are in the same leather case. Can't I save them all?You are the only person who remotely answered the question correctly (an "album" was the designation for a binder of slipcovers for multiple 78 RPM shelac/hard rubber/bakelite analog recording platters (later called "records").

SO, IMO Sdaeriji wins the prize for actually HAVING an "album" :D

(I used to have many - including not a small number of Caruso Operas... but I had to sell them when I moved cross country... :( )

Edit: My "Album" is a small wallet which currently holds 4 ea. 1GB memory chips for my PDA... each one has roughly 10-20 CD's encoded. Not quite an iPodling, but more useful overall...

1. Black Sabbath , Technical Ecstacy.
2. Pink Floyd, Dark Side of the Moon.
3. The Beatles, Abbey Road.
4. Corrosion of Conformity, Deliverance.
5. Black Sabbath, Sabotage.
6. Motorhead, "the very best of"

Hey! I still have "albums" too. I prefer the term "record" though. Like Jackson Browne says, he too prefers to call it a "record" like a record of events. Keeps him grounded. :)

Nice! That gets my thumbs up. Especially no. 9 :D I'm seeing QOTSA next week...well, QOTSA minus Nick anyway.

Thankyou Mr. Technical. What gave you the authority, however, to decide on the correct answer and prize to *my* question? ;)

Sorry, my bad. You and Sdaeriji can fight for it. :D
Meh, I'd have to get up and find him then... too lazy.

You tell him Kanabia! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :fluffle:

We could so hang out..lol Although we'd have to change your Pink Floyd selection. ;)


Heh.

The reason i picked that one is only becuase its slightly higher on my "replay" list.

Its not my favorite Floyd album actually...that would probably be "Meddle".

Thankyou Mr. Technical. What gave you the authority, however, to decide on the correct answer and prize to *my* question? ;)

I did. :D

Heh.

The reason i picked that one is only becuase its slightly higher on my "replay" list.

Its not my favorite Floyd album actually...that would probably be "Meddle".

Yeah, my fav is "The Final Cut" , I don't dislike anything Floyd has ever done, but "Darkside of The Moon" has just been so over played it's like being a teen again as they play Led Zep's "Stairway To Heaven" at the close of the dance..lol Nooooooooo don't do it! :p

I did. :DArgh! Usurper!

hmmm, When was it in the sequence of releases? Oh and Piper at the Gates of Dawn is great too! And Division Bell, so many good ones!

EDIT (for my first post): AGH! how could I forget Warren Zevon?? The Anthology

I did. :D

I said what, not who. Unless you're some sort of inanimate object or something. Hmm. Or Satan. But no, Satan is female. So that makes you God? In which case I ignore your authority, just like I do in real life. :p

You know, your the second person Ive ever talked to that has said that "Final Cut" is thier favorite one.

and I know a lot of Floyd fans!

Musically, I think its nearly as brilliant as thier earlier stuff, but moodwise..it makes me want to chew open my own wrists..
Particularly, "The Fletcher Home .." and "Two Suns in the Sunset".
Both cool songs..but very very depressing.

Tisk, tisk, Kanabia. You should have known that it's Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables... :p

*shakes fist*

Oh... Yeah. My top ten.

#1: The Sex Pistols: Never Mind The Bollocks, Here's The Sex Pistols

Well, go figure, I love politics! It's a very political album, then again what album did Floyd ever do that wasn't? But I think it's there most political album.. I think my favorite song on the album is the shortest one.. "Get Your Filthy Hands Off My Dessert" .. ;)

hmmm, When was it in the sequence of releases? Oh and Piper at the Gates of Dawn is great too! And Division Bell, so many good ones!

EDIT (for my first post): AGH! how could I forget Warren Zevon?? The Anthology

[QUOTE=Kanabia]Simple question, really. And put them in order. No cop-outs like "aww but I like all these the same." Too bad.

1. Explosions in the Sky - Those Who Tell The Truth Shall Die, Those Who Tell The Truth Shall Live Forever
2. Sun Ra - Super-Sonic Jazz
3. Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven

10. Frank Zappa - Joe's Garage
*Bonus!* 11. Ornette Coleman - Free Jazz

Do my albums rock, or what? :)

Edit: I thought about it for a second, and I just had to add Frank Zappa. This... is the central... scrutinizer!

Wha...? Coleman got bumped then? I was going to ask if you were familiar with the John Zorn LP of Ornette Coleman covers.

Wha...? Coleman got bumped then? I was going to ask if you were familiar with the John Zorn LP of Ornette Coleman covers.

I've heard of it. It was described as a horrible mess. Why, were you going to recommend it? I'm going to order some CDs tonight, so any suggestions would be welcome.

Why, were you going to recommend it?

Not especially: one of those releases that is worth listening to at least once, but hardly a fantastic album. Zorn has shown that he can do more interesting cover versions when he isn't so much in awe of the original musician, and really his Coleman covers are less satisfying than his own compositions.

1. Rush - Moving Pictures
2. Rush - Different Stages
3. Led Zeppelin - 4
4. Led Zeppelin - 3
5. Pink Floyd - Meddle
6. Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
7. Rush - 2112
8. Rush - A Farewell To Kings
9. Led Zeppelin - 2
10. Led Zeppelin - 1

Maybe I can find it for a couple bucks on Ebay or something.

6. Dream Theater - Octavarium (I don't care what anyone says. I think this is their best album yet.)
Is that their new one?

As a cd, yes. I like the songs off of Cruelty and The Beast better, but as Midian is sort of a concept cd for Clive Barker's work, it works better as a whole than Cruelty and the Beast.Yes, but Cruelty and the Beast is also a concept album, and has significantly better lyrics.

R.E.M. - New Adventures in Hi-FiIt's nice to see someone else acknowledge this as R.E.M.'s best album.

Like a couple of others, all of my CD's are in one leather CD wallet...but since I only get ten.

10.Blind Guardian - Nightfall in Middle Earth
9. Staind - Dysfunction
8. System of a Down - System of a Down
7. Rammstein - Reise, Reise
6. Tool - Ænima
5. Mudvayne - LD.50
4. Sevendust - Sevendust
3. In Flames - Colony
2. Fear Factory - Demanufacture
1. Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral

Like a couple of others, all of my CD's are in one leather CD walletWhat do you people do with the CD cases?

What do you people do with the CD cases?

Well, if the CD includes lyrics, I usually leave the case lying around for a week or so until I've given a new CD a few listens, and have the lyrics down pretty good.

After that...it goes in my desk drawer with all the others, though it's getting crowded in there. :p

Soundtrack of my High School years. And my Dad said this would never last...

1) Pink Floyd's The Wall (1979)
2) The Beatles' White Album (1968)
3) Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon (1973)
4) Nurse With Wound's The Sylvie and Babs Hi-Fi Companion (1985)
5) Led Zeppelin II (1969)
6) The Mars Volta's Frances the Mute (2005)
7) Yes' Fragile (1971)
8) Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here (1975)
9) The Beatles' Abbey Road (1969)
10) Nurse With Wound's Thunder Perfect Mind (1992)
11) Pink Floyd's Animals (1977)
12) The Beatles' Revolver (1966)
13) Led Zeppelin IV (1971)
14) Genesis' Selling England by the Pound (1973)
15) The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967)
16) Pink Floyd's Meddle (1971)
17) The Rolling Stones' Exile on Main Street (1972)
18) Jethro Tull's Thick as a Brick (1972)
19) Pink Floyd's The Piper at the Gates of Dawn (1966)
20) The Jimi Hendrix Experience's Are You Experienced? (1967)

Now see, this presents a conundrum. I dont really have any particularly favorite albums - ya know, ones you could put in and just listen to over and over. There are a few albums that I really enjoy, but almost any album I've ever bought has had at least 2-3 songs I usually skip over. However, all that considered, I'd have to say that my favorite artists (in no particular order and notwithstanding the mix discs I make with well over 200 mp3s on em) along with the album of which I have the most tracks:

1. The Offspring - Americana
2. AC / DC - Live
3. Soundtrack to Gladiator
4. Tom Petty - Wildflowers
5. Blues Traveler - Four
6. The All-American Rejects - The All-American Rejects
7. Dr. Dre - The Chronic 2001
8. Bob Seger - Greatest Hits
9. Everlast - Whitey Ford Sings the Blues
10. Willie Nelson - The Great Divide
11. George Strait - 50 Number Ones
12. Kevin Fowler - High on the Hog

As anyone can see, quite varied. This would be why I have an mp3 player in my truck...

An interesting question- if i had to escape from my burning house and save 10cds....... wait a minute, would there be a possibility of a replacement cd player(as the current one would be a large gooey pvc mess by now)?

If so:

1.Editors- Munich
2.Interpol- Antics
3. Alter Ego- Rocker
4. Idlewild- The Remote Part
5. Eternal Sunshine sdtrk
6. Spaced sdtrk
7. Oasis- Definitely Maybe
8. Blur- Leisure
9. BRMC- Take them on on your own
10. BRMC- BRMC

What does everyone think? Good/Bad?
:)KoENSoup

In my list... That Rich Kids album should be Ghosts Of Princes In Towers.

Hey, I'd just gotten out of bed when I typed that list...!

Punks Not Dead - The Exploited
Pissed And Proud - Peter And The Test Tube Babies
We Are The League - The Anti-Nowhere League
Damned Damned Damned - The Damned
The Undertones - The Undertones
Now Then...Stiff Little Fingers
Never Mind The Bollocks - Here's The Sex Pistols - The Sex Pistols
Next Stop Armageddon - The God Awfuls
Revenge Of The Village Idiots - The Dead Pets
Punk In Drublic - NOFX

In no particular order

The Who ~ The Ultimate Collection
The Ramones ~ Ramones
The Ramones ~ Rocket to Russia
The Clash ~ The Clash [UK]
Bob Dylan ~ Highway 61 Revisited
Warren Zevon ~ Excitable Boy
Lou Reed ~ NYC Man: The Ultimate Collection
The Violent Femmes ~ Violent Femmes
X ~ Los Angeles
The Beach Boys ~ Sounds of Summer

Is that their new one?

Belated 'yes'.

More or less in order:

10. Metallica - Ride The Lightning
9. Aria - Kresheniye Ognem (English translation - Baptism By Fire)
8. Dream Theater - Awake
7. Pink Floyd - The Wall
6. Iced Earth - Something Wicked This Way Comes
5. Iron Maiden - Powerslave
4. Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon
3. Dream Theater - A Change of Seasons (technically, I've only listened to the title track of this album, but it's just so mind-blowingly awesome that I can't imagine the other songs could drag it down this list more than one or two places - and that's only if they're horrible)
2. Symphony X - V: The New Mythology Suite
1. Queensryche - Operation: Mindcrime

I consider the last two albums to be, basically, virtuoso masterpieces, the likes of which have and will seldom, if ever, be duplicated by other bands, or even themselves. I could listen to either of them every day for who knows how long and love every minute of it.

I realize that my selection of albums is... well, a little metal-heavy. :) But I can't say there is much else out there that both a)appeals to my tastes and b)has good replay value. Classical is about the only other genre (aside from, occasionally, rock) that can also meet these two criteria. But I usually get my classical fix from playing the viola.

Even if you do think my musical tastes could use some expansion/revamping/etc, just take this into account - as recently as 2002, I wouldn't have been able to even think of 10 albums to list, and the ones that I would have listed would all have been Weird Al. (not that I still don't appreciate his music, but...)

In no order:

Beatles - White Album
Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin III
Decemberists - Castaways and Cutouts
Decemberists - Picaresque
Iron & Wine - Our Endless Numbered Days
Elliott Smith - From a Basement on the Hill
Dresden Dolls - The Dresden Dolls
The Shins - Chutes too Narrow
Radiohead - Ok Computer
Coldplay - A Rush of Blood to the Head

I wonder if I can do this. None of you ever care, but that's never stopped me before (hmmmm, feeling a little sorry for myself today it seems-that's the second pity party post I've made...)

Albums all being should have-
Kind of Blue Miles Davis
Now's the Time Charlie Parker
Giant Steps John Coltrane

That you'd dig if you tried it-

Out of the Cool Gil Evans (bonus-...Plays Hendrix. It was supposed to be with Hendrix but he died right before the date so Gil recorded the album later on with new arrangements)

Cantelope Island Herbie Hancock (bonus Headhunters/Thrust if you need more of da funk.)
Ah Hum Charles Mingus...but you all knew that one.

Shit I like so...
Ferociously Stoned Cherry Poppin' Daddies. (Zoot Suit Riot free album)
Solid Sender Sex Mob
Dirty Dozen Brass Band. Any album, don't matter.
Ruby Vroom Soul Coughing

That's probably a list that would change hour to hour. Excpet for the Dozen, they of course rule.

1.Editors- Munich
2.Interpol- Antics
7. Oasis- Definitely Maybe
8. Blur- Leisure


those are mostly very good albums, except id swop 'leisure' for 'blur' or 'modern life is rubbish'


Radiohead - Ok Computer
