May 13, 201016 yr I was talking with an old friend last week and we were discussing the advance from albums to 8-tracks,cassettes and into CD's and the discussion turned into albums we had bought on all (or most) of the mediums. We decided that these were albums that we just could not live without and would upgrade to the next level as well. Mine were (in no particular order): Physical Graffiti...Led Zeppelin Quadrophenia.....The Who On Time...Grand Funk Railroad Tres Hombres...ZZ Top Moonflower...Santana Layla...Derek and the Dominoes Eat a Peach...Allman Brothers Axis Bold as Love...Jimi Hendrix Abbey Road...The Beatles Paranoid...Black Sabbath I would be interested to hear yours.
May 13, 201016 yr I think I can do this. Earlier list requests of "Name your one ..." or "Name your five desert albums" were avoided by me, simply because I can't narrow it down. I think I can come up with a top 25 for this ...
May 13, 201016 yr Who's Next - The Who IV - Led Zeppelin Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd Hot Rocks 1964-1971, Rolling Stones Live, Alison Krauss What's Going On, Marvin Gaye Les Miserables - Original Cast Thriller, Michael Jackson Layla, Derek and the Dominoes 1962-1966; 1967-1970, The Beatles (I cheated, so sue me)
May 13, 201016 yr I've got to preface with a couple of things: My selection of "can't life without" albums is a COMPLETELY random mix. So goes my taste in music. Well, actually, I guess my musical taste isn't random...it's just good There are a couple of "best of" albums on here...but both of them were compilations of singles that were released in the pre-album era. In No Particular Order: Bob Dylan - A Freewheelin' Bob Dylan Whiskeytown – Strangers Almanac Ryan Adams – Heartbreaker John Lee Hooker – The Best Of John Lee Hooker Muddy Waters - Electric Mud Bruce Springsteen – Nebraska Bon Iver – For Emma, Forever Ago Sam Cooke - The Best Of Sam Cooke Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot Otis Redding – Pain In My Heart Flaming Lips – Soft Bulletin Rolling Stones – Sticky Fingers Neil Young – Live Rust (Sorry...I just couldn't make it down to ten.)
May 13, 201016 yr The Stones Sticky Fingers may be the most underrated album ever. Exile On Main Street Rocks too.......... CWB I am always impressed with your musical tastes...a little off center, but never out of bounds!
May 13, 201016 yr By the way...my list was largely taken from a paring down of this list. Some of my music geek buddies and I sent around a long string of emails to each other and did this. Honestly, it took an inordinate amount of time, but it's kind of a biography of my musical taste.

I think I can come up with a top 25 for this ... :clap: Looking at some of these lists here,I see several I could have easily included in a top 25 as well. The Stones' 'Exile on Main Street' and 'Sticky Fingers' being two of them.
