Fun Stuff > BAND
The Ten Albums
La Creme:
Eels - Electro-Shock Blues
Why? ~~ Great segway from mainstream 90's rock into indie. Also, a show of how music can be emotional without being emo.
Liquid Tension Experiment - LTE2
Why? ~~ Show her virtuosity. Heavy, heavy virtuosity.
Oliver Nelson - Blues And The Absract Truth
Why? ~~ Easiest jazz album to get into in modern jazz composition.
Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon
Why? ~~ It's a classic, it's a concept album, it's great songwriting, and it fucking ROCKS.
The Beatles - Abbey Road
Why? ~~ It is one of the most influential CD's of all time, and one of the best from one of the most influential and one of the best bands of all time.
Kraftwerk - Autobahn
Why? ~~ The genisis of electronica, and a wondeful CD to exemplify the glory of electronic music from right at its roots.
Miles Davis - Live Evil
Why? ~~ This is the fattest, funkiest, most floor-shaking funk/fusion album ever.
Jefferson Airplane - Surrealistic Pillow
Why? ~~ Beatles + Velvet Underground + Grateful Dead. All-in-one style package from the glory days of American pop music.
King Crimson - In The Court Of The Crimson King
Why? ~~ It (imo) was the most important step in the walk towards intelligence in modern rock composition.
The Arcade Fire - Funeral
Why? ~~ Show her where rock is heading.

Oh man. Not that I don't like that album, but I really hope that rock is not headed in that direction...
A new topic would be cool to start, though, on what people think rock is headed towards.
Storm Rider:
--- Quote from: pat101 ---The thing is the girl is fairly relgious, I mean not in a bad way or anything she's quite open minded it's just she's a little sheltered and anything TOO out there lyrically or otherwise might freak her out. I've started on the list though I'll make sure to let you know when I get the final draft.

You may safely write off anything Khar may suggest from now on.

Arcade Fire's making the list. I love the album.
Running For Home:
--- Quote from: Storm Rider ---The Beatles - Revolver
Dream Theater - Images and Words
Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin IV
Iron Maiden - Piece of Mind (while I prefer both Number of the Beast and Somewhere in Time over this one, it's definitely their most accessible)
Jimi Hendrix - Are You Experienced?
Rush - Moving Pictures
Liquid Tension Experiment - S/T
The Doors - S/T
Joe Satriani - Surfing With The Alien
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
I defy your indie sensibilities, suckers.
