Ultimate Albums
So VH1 has this show called ultimate albums, basically its the album that has a profound influence on your life, or one of those albums that has just been prevelent in your life for as long as you can remember..not necessarily your current favorite nsync album, but those albums you can still see yourself listening to/owning 20 years from now..so my friend and I were talking last night about our top five 'ultimate albums' mine are listed below along w/the reasons i consider them to be ultimate..so, what are yours?
1. The Beatles - Rubber Soul I really did grow up with this, I can remember listening to it with my mom when I was about 5..we had the album on record, tape and now I own it on CD.. 2. The Who - Tommy. Pretty much same reason as for Rubber Soul, we have it on record, tape, CD and I also have the broadway cast recording. I also saw the broadway show 3 times, including closing night. 3. Paula Abdul- Forever Your Girl I loved Paula Abdul growing up, she was definately the first artist that was my transition between what my mother would give me to listen to me developing my own music tastes. She was also my first concert 4. Janis Joplin - Pearl This was my transition album from what was always played on the radio and opened my eyes to the world and counter culture of the late 1960s & early 1970s. It really paved the way for my love of the dead and other bands 5. Barenaked Ladies - Gordon First album of their's I ever heard and immediately fell in love with them, this was back in 1994..and well, i think by now we all know my obsession w/them :) |
The Ramones-The Ramones
I'm generating steam heat!! Rammstein-Sehnsucht It is great if you know german Boris the Sprinkler-Mega Anal The very best in poppy sounding rebellion Green Day-Dookie that was my life in 7th grade Dr. Dre -The Chronic I'm in the mood for some m****f***in g sh*t |
Pink Floyd's "The Wall", "Wish You Were Here" & Dark Side of the Moon
|
Pearl Jam- Ten
I love this band. I think this is their best album. I never get tired of listening to the album. I can't think of any others at the moment. I'll get back to this thread later. :) |
Miles Davis -- Kind of Blue.
John Coltrane -- My Favorite Things. Dave Brubeck -- Time Out. Just a sampling of ultimate mainstream jazz albums. :) |
dylan - blonde on blonde
grateful dead - what a long strang trip it's been (a greatest hits...but shouldn't greatest hits be the best?) u2 - joshua tree gd - dookie |
Rush's masterpiece "Moving Pictures."

My others are: Barenaked Ladies: Rock Spectacle. This is their live album, and I've seen them in concert 5 times (and I plan to see them everytime they're in town!:D), so if I have to choose one BNL album to be my ultimate, this would be it. It's about as close as you can get to the live BNL experience without actually being there, and it has (most of) my favorite songs. Alanis Morrisette: Jagged Little Pill and Green Day: Dookie. These were the albums that I always blared when I couldn't stand my parents anymore when I was a teenager. Now I crank them up in my car on my way home at night when I can't stand my job anymore. :p Madonna: Like A Virgin. Nothing compares to 80's Madonna. When I was little, I wanted to be her. This was also the first tape I ever owned. Billy Joel: Innocent Man. I grew up with this album, and it's still my favorite of his. |
Oh come on, I know some of you out there are secretly thinking about New Kids on the Block! hehe ;)

James Taylor - Greatest Hits: So many memories from my freshman year of college go along with this album. I'll never forget the night that I had it on, and Josh got up and had me dance with him to "How Sweet it Is (to be loved by you)." Its now officially our song.
Cowboy Mouth - Are You With Me?: Lots of good and angsty music for a rough time in high school. Can't think of any others ATM... |
