The Ten Albums
Dirk:
so, the girl knows almost nothing about music, and you want to introduce some nice things. I would take a look in my music collection and would select:
1) the afghan whigs - gentleman (greg dulli rules)
2) buffalo tom - best of (to be honest, i don't have their best of, but i got all their albums, so it would make a compilation)
3) radiohead - the bends (or ok computer)
4) pearl jam - live in london
5) dEUS - in a bar under the sea
6) daft punk - homework
7) Franz Ferdinand
8) The streets - a grand don't come for free
9) Massive Attack - Mezzanine
10) REM - best of
as the music is new to the girl best of's are easier to digest than normal albums.
By the way, ask me a top 10 tomorrow and it will look a bit different. ;-)

I'd make a list myself, but I can't say I'm very good at this kind of thing. Still, I'd choose Revolver or Abbey Road as a Beatles album at the very least.

I absolutely love Revolver but I don't know if it's a great "first Beatles record". The White Album is certainly wors(e/t) for introductions (especially if it counts for 2 of the 10) but I think the most accessible would be Magical Mystery Tour.

yeah, i agree with old world underground, everytime i have shown it to my friends that aren't that musically informed they really like it. i like live it out more, but that one is more accessible.

--- Quote from: Hat ---I'm surprised so many people suggested the White Album for a Beatles record. It is a terrible way to be introduced to them, and if she already listens to the Beatles, not much point throwing it in there.

Being introduced to the Beatles with the White Album is like being introduced to sex by a seven foot tall woman who ties you up, blindfolds you and rides you like a pony. It can be hella fun if thats your thing, but you're likely to be incredibly overwhelmed, quite terrified, and left feeling seedy and in nagging pain the next day.
Sorry I couldn't add anything more constructive than sexual metaphors, but it just struck me as a little odd.

I totally agree with your opinion the white album. You're absolutely right. However I would enjoy being raped by a seven footer.

Just saying that Black Metal may not go down so well. Especially not Teachers Pet and Heavens on Fire.

and I dunno that specific mothers of invention album but knowing zappa's opinion you might want to ask yourself if those lyrics are ok too
