Wanna try another list? -- Gary, 21:21:00 03/17/00 Fri
Anyone up for another? How about top 10-15 all-time favorite non-BC/GW albums. Original releases-no greatest hits compilations. Except for a college radio station that has a few good nights a week, radio around here really sucks! I'm always looking for some new (or old) listening alternatives. Here's my favorites, at least tonight (no particular order):"The River" Bruce Springsteen, "Physical Graffiti" Led Zeppelin, "100% Fun" Matthew Sweet, "Aja" Steely Dan, "Walk On" John Hiatt, "Armed Forces" Elvis Costello, "Late For The Sky" Jackson Browne, "Laughter And Lust" Joe Jackson, "Let Your Dim Light Shine" Soul Asylum, "T.W.O." R.E.O. Speedwagon (sorry, it was pounded into me at an impressionable age by a school bus driver), "Slowhand" Eric Clapton, "Laid Back" Gregg Allman, "Nick Lowe and His Cowboy Outfit" Nick Lowe......guess that's enough! Should've been some Beatles and Stones and Neil Young and many others in there, but there's not one album by itself that jumps out at me. Let's hear yours........

Well, with no GW/BC allowed, there are a few holes in my "top 10 desert island picks". Here goes (and as always, subject to change at any time!). In no particular order:
Never Mind The Bollocks Here's The Sex Pistols - Sex Pistols
A Night At The Opera - Queen
Queen II - Queen
Cut - Golden Earring
Abbey Road - The Beatles
Lola Vs. Powerman & The Moneygoround - The Kinks
Physical Grafitti - Led Zeppelin
Caught In The Act - Grand Funk Railroad
Desolation Boulevard - Sweet
The Day The Earth Caught Fire - City Boy
And since Gary was kind enough to raise the limit to 15, here's 5 more:
Dreams, Dreams, Dreams - Chilliwack
Fresh Aire III - Mannheim Steamroller
Moving Pictures - Rush
Dark Side Of The Moon - Pink Floyd
Who's Next - The Who
This is a good cross section of what I'm into, but I could easily select 200 more!

Beatles-Abbey Rd, White LP, 2nd
Badfinger-Straight Up
10cc-How Dare You, Sheet Music
Queen-Sheer Heart Attack
Squeeze-Play
Dave Edmunds-Live
Steely Dan-Two Against Nature, Royal Scam, Countdown to Ecstacy
Robert Palmer-Secrets
Paul McCartney-Band On The Run
Dion DiMucci-Ruby Baby
There seems to be a tremendous gap in this collection, however. If push came to shove, I'd trade all of these for about half as many GW or BC LP's.

Can't give you ten as I was always more into country than rock, but other than GW, my favorite rock albulm was Queen's "Night at the Opera" and Meatloaf's "Bat out of Hell"

Now that I've read Burton's feelings on Mr. Costello I feel strangely torn between making the distinction between a person's art and the person themselves. Argggh such a dilemma...

I avoided best of albums as that seems to be cheating. Difficult to pick one album from another for some artists. Tough decisions. Could change.

Van Morrison - Moondance
John Mellencamp - Scarecrow
Bruce Springsteen - Born to Run
Billy Joel - Stormfront
Elvis Costello - My Aim is True ( I could go with Armed Forces though)
Elton John - self titled
Jackson Browne - Saturate Before Using
Steely Dan - Katy Lied
The Cars- self titled
Rolling Stones - Some Girls
Warren Zevon - self titled
Jimmy Buffett - You Had to Be There (Live)
Meatloaf- Bat Out of Hell
Joe Jackson - Look Sharp
Rod Stewart - Every Picture Tells a Story

I'll throw in a couple: Buckingham Nicks (pre-Fleetwood Mac) and I,Robot-Alan Parsons Project.

Haven't heard Buckingham-Nicks, but I'm not a real big Alan Parson's fan.

A few I toyed with but left out were:
The Who - Who Are You
Boston - debut album (the only Boston album one needs)
Jethro Tull - Aqualung
Chicago - V

Yes, I Robot is definitely a keeper. Did anyone add Who's Next? I think I might add Learning To Crawl, The Pretenders
