The Ten Albums

(1/23) > >>

pat101:
I have a friend who I've recently taken under my wing to try and educate her on 'good music'. She said she would try 10 albums that I reccomend to her and go from there, I have 10 in mind but I have my bias' as well so I figured I would go to the most unbiased place in the world. The Internet! So let's here it the top 10 albums that this girl MUST hear. Keep in mind she knows next to nothing about anything music wise.

Alyxz:
Would really need to know more about this person.  Aside from the fact that I tend to jump around like crazy in what I like in any given moment, if we're just talking about a hypothetical philosophical question here: "What albums would you give to someone who has never heard music before?" I might start with something a little lighter than my own taste, just to ease them into it.

On the other hand, if you're talking about a crazy angry angst filled I-hate-all-of-humanity-and-most-of-all-YOU! person, then we might be able to skip most of the intro stuff and move right on into something a little more edgy.

Joseph:
Abbey Road - The Beatles
The Doors - The Doors
40 Licks - The Rolling Stones
Born to Run - Bruce Springsteen
Ok Computer - Radiohead
Odelay - Beck
Pinkerton - Weezer
It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back - Public Enemy
Highway 61 Revisited - Bob Dylan
The Moon and Antartica - Modest Mouse


  They aren't my ten favorite albums (though some of my favorites are up there), but they create a nice cross-section of music over the years, and they're all amazing.

Rizzo:
Nearly, there's no metal or punk there... or hardrock even.

Kid Modernist:
If someone would ask me for ten essential albums, I'd tell em.

The Cure - Disintegration
Paul Simon - Graceland
Getz/Gilberto - Getz/Gilberto
Pavement - Crooked Rain Crooked Rain
The Velvet Underground and Nico - S/t
The Beates - White Album
Bright Eyes - Lifted
Manu Chao - Clandestino
The Doors - The Doors
Bob Dylan - Blonde on Blond (or The Freewhellin', depending)
and 11
My Bloody Valentine - Loveless
because limiting yourself to 10 is pretty lame, and I'm a rebel.

Anyways, pretty safe choices but that is what essential is about.
