Led Zepp Greatest Hits
Pink Floyd Darkside of the Moon
Queen's Gretest Hits

In no particular order...


Sublime
The Killers - Hot Fuss
U2 - The best of 1980-1990

While my favorite is Sublime because I can listen to it over and over and over, I'm currently stuck on The Killers. Just can't enough of them...

Metallica - ...And Justice for All

Pantera - The Best of Pantera

Killswitch Engage - The End of Heartache

Radiohead - OK Computer
The Cure - Full Moon Concert (Disintegration era concert bootleg)
Morrissey - Viva Hate

(can you guess my generation? )

1. Tool - Ænima (Surely one of the greatest albums ever made)
2. Godspeed you Black Emporer - Lift your skinny fists like antennaes to heaven (saw them live - unfuckingbelievable)
3. Any Beatles album

Back on the Tool comments, I don't think Salival or Opiate are anywhere near as good as the later(alus!wordplayhaehae) albums of Ænima and Lateralus.

I Don't think they had really found their sound at that point.

Lateralus imo is really fantastic and progressive but it's almost impossible to improve on Ænima so it sort of always was going to be *somewhat* (and I mean this in the best most generous way) of a let down.

Has anyone heard Tool's cover of No Quarter, or their Demon Cleaner cover?

Both of those standing alone are astonishingly good.

Sorry for off topic, just glad to see fellow Tool fans

My choices have not changed... mostly because I picked albums that were at lest 10 years old that I listened to on release and still enjoy litening to on a regular basis.

I agree the Tool cover of no quarter is damn good

I have to think about my 3 albums and edit later

Alice In Chians - Unplugged

MudVayne - L.D. 50

Pink Floyd - The Wall


I almost had to replace Pink Floyd with Nirvana - Nevermind...

311 - 311 (Blue Album)

Metallica - Black

U2 - The Joshua Tree

thats funny, if i picked today, only 1 of the albums would be the same as i picked last year.

Black Crowes - "Southern Harmony and Musical Companion"

not that it is compositionally brilliant or anything, i just really had some good times smoking weed and hanging out listening to that back in the day

for me, it always depends on what kind of mood i'm in when i'm picking. for instance, i just had a massive cup of coffee, so i'm very pacified for a Monday morning, but kind of ready for some mental gymnastics. so something like Bach Solo Cello Suites would be good. (don't particularly like Bach, but really like these). i know the purists say that Casals' recording is the reference piece, but honestly i do like Ma's recent one.

Part of the reason is that i really get hung up on audio quality stuff, and there is no recording of anything from 1950-something that sounds as good as something recorded with modern state of the art technology, in the hands of skilled engineers.

directly contradicting my second pick, i go with an analog recording from the 60s for my 3rd album.

John Coltrane "A Love Supreme"

so anyway those last two seem very pretentious, or whatever, but they are inarguably brilliant in my mind, and if you are stuck with 3 albums, you need something that has enough depth that you won't get sick of it

'trane

311- Soundsystem

Soundgarden- Down on the Upside

Radiohead- Kid A

Wish I could have added a stp or smashing pumpkins cd but it'll do.

Night at the Opera - Queen

Ok Computer- Radio Head

Hotel California - Eagles

Honorable mention would go to Revolver (the Beatles), anything by Tool, and Unplugged Alice in Chains.

If this were about any piece of music other than rock, Id take:

Pictures at an Exhibition- Mussorski

Requiem- W.A. Mozart

The Planets- Holst

Pictures at an Exhibition- Mussorski

Requiem- W.A. Mozart

The Planets- Holst

which conductor for those 3 pieces Jice? I've heard many different versions of all of those, especially for some reason "The Planets" conductors like to fuck with tempos...

hmmm, well if we can use greatest hits that makes things much much easyer...

pink floyd-dark side of the moon
bob marley greatest hits or natural mystic (hmm tough one)

il come back later with the 3rd one, cant really decide, although id like to cover another genre, like a jam cd or whatnot which is hard to do in 1 cd

jeff buckey - grace
pink floyd - dark side of the moon
beatles - revolver

NEED UPDATES!!!!

The update should be...

"If you could only bring 30,000 songs with you on your iPod, which 30,000 would they be?"

Never posted on this one for some reason...

Pink Floyd - Animals
Tool - Lateralus
Pearl Jam - Ten

I regard Pink Floyd, Tool, and Led Zeppelin as my "top three" bands, but I enjoyed Ten above any one particular Zeppelin album. and I'm under impression the thread's intent was not to include compilation albums.
