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
