"The great pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do."

This is hard. But here's a list, mostly stuff 10+ years old. What can say, college was a good time and these are the soundtrack to those years for me (except for the few newer ones). With bands like Pearl Jam and DMB its hard to pick a favorite album........kj

• Pearl Jam- vs
• Foo Fighters- One by One
• Coldplay- Rush of Blood
• Jack Johnson- Brushfire Fairytales
• Brad- Interiors
• Dave Matthews Band- Before These Crowded Sreets
• Linkin Park- Hybrid Theory
• The Police- Synchronicity
• Sting- Ten Sumner's Tales
• Alice in Chains- Dirt

Rappers Delight- sugar Hill Gang

Purple Rain- Prince

Nasty Girl- Vanity Six

Don't flame me for this one: Thriller- Micheal Jackson

Sound track from "Breakin"

BTW- I have at least one of these album names wrong. I am currently replacing a lot of this but one song at a time instead of albums. Downloads rule.

I'm down with Prince. Purple Rain is awesome. I knew all the words to Darling Nikki before I knew what they meant!

Awww, Katy's not all THAT evil. Only slightly evil. In a good way. - JasoninHalifax

Living in New Jersey, I'm morally obilgated to leave that one out.

---

"What's your claim?" - Ben Gravy
"Your best work is the work you're excited about" - Rick Rubin

Anybody else finding all these lists depressingly one-dimensional?

• Silly Wizard, Best of
• Celtic Nots, Not Music
• O Brother, Where Art Thou, soundtrack
• Antonin Dvorak, New World Symphony
• Robert Cray, Strong Persuader

---

"People think it must be fun to be a super genius, but they don't realize how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world."

Oh god yes, Cowboy Junkies and the Hip! I knew I forgot some albums! I like Music @ Work and the same CJ album you have listed. Awesome stuff.

---

------------------------
"How bad could it be?" - SimpleS

Oh man, two more great albums here: Robert Cray and OBWAT OST. There's just so many good albums, it's tough to get them all in one shot.

I would also have to list Sloan as one of the most underrated bands out there. Love those guys, good Canadian kids ;-)

"How bad could it be?" - SimpleS

You eclectic b@stard!!!

BTW: If you mix them all up you get ... Zappa!!!

"What's your claim?" - Ben Gravy
"Your best work is the work you're excited about" - Rick Rubin

I, Robot-Alan Parsons

Carmen-Bizet

Sunmachine-Dario G

Bad to the Bone-George Thorougood

Hotel California-Eagles

Get the Knack-The Knack

Strangers in the night-Sinatra

John Hiatt-- Bring the Family
Steve Winwood-- Back in the High Life
Otis Redding-- any Otis is great

This is practically impossible. I'll give it a go, but I could come up with a completely different list tomorrow. And, I'll just leave jazz and blues out of it completely because my head is spinning enough already:

• Let it Bleed - Rolling Stones
• Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain - Pavement
• Life's Rich Pageant - REM
• Meat is Murder or Hatful of Hollow - The Smiths
• Kaya or Exodus - Bob Marley
• Paul's Boutique - Beastie Boys
• Live at Luther College - Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds
• Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars - Bowie
• Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo - Devo
• Reckoning - Grateful Dead
• Warehouse: Songs & Stories - Husker Du
• Joshua Judges Ruth - Lyle Lovett
• A Picture of Nectar - Phish
• Surfer Rosa - Pixies
• The Uplift Mofo Party Plan - Red Hot Chili Peppers
• 40 oz. to Freedom - Sublime
• X - Under the Big Black Sun

Plus almost anything by the Beatles, Elvis Costello, U2, the Clash, the Specials, etc.

BTW, have any of you heard "Live at Stubb's," a new album by Matisyahu? He is a 24-year old former Dead-Head, turned Hasidic Jew who does rap/reggae that will blow you away. I thought it would be gimmicky, but it's the real deal.
