The 5 CDs you can't live without

[Dharmabum]

I love all the bizarre (imo, of course) choices for some of these discs...

1. NoMeansNo - "Dance of the Headless Bourgeoisie"
2. Mark Lanegan - "Whiskey for the Holy Ghost"
3. Joni Mitchell - "Hejira" (for Joni AND Jaco)
4. Isis - "Panopticon"
5. Charles Mingus - "Pithecanthropus Erectus"

That's a dern fine list there.

For me...

1. Primus - Frizzle Fry
2. King Crimson - Red
3. Metallica - Ride the Lightning
4. Ornette Coleman - The Shape of Jazz to Come
5. The Minutemen - Double Nickels on the Dime

 

[Fretless1!]

+1


I'd rather die than listening to five ABBA albums. Clear?

I don't know. Rutger Gunnarrson was a heck of a player. There's some good bass lines in that stuff. But, I hear what you're saying.

My picks:
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
Jimi Hendrix - Band of Gypsys
Miles Davis - Kind of Blue
Allman Bros. - Live at Filllmore East
John Coltrane - A Love Supreme

But, who knows, in a month that might be slightly different. Only slightly, though.

 

[LP75]

Axis Bold As Love - Jimi Hendrix

Meddle - Pink Floyd

Europe '72 - Grateful Dead

Hemispheres - Rush

The Grand Wazoo - Frank Zappa

LP75

5. John McLaughlin – Que Alegria

I just picked this one up today, I didn't know it had Kai Eckhardt on it, what a pleasant surprise!

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Blood Sugar Sex Majik
Incubus - S.C.I.E.N.C.E

The Libertines - Up The Bracket
Maximo Park - A Certain Trigger

[Blake Bass]

I can't pick just 5 ..so I would have to say that I can't live without my IPod. I can have all of my favorites right in the palm of my hand.

 

[2 Fingers McGee]

1. John Coltrane - Blue Train

2. Entombed - Clandestine

3. Taake - Hordalands Doedskvad

4. Incubus - S.C.I.E.N.C.E.

5. The Roots - Things Fall Apart

 

[machine gewehr]

Metallica - Master Of Puppets

Iron Maiden - Brave New World

Anathema - Alternative 4

Pink Floyd - Pulse

Marcus Miller - Silver Rain


But I'd rather prefer all the albums of these artists.

1_ Beatles White Album
2_ Simon & Garfunkel Bookends

Wow, so my answer has changed a lot since the last post I made in this thread.

1. Rush - Hemispheres

2. Radiohead - OK Computer

3. Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Anntenas To Heaven

4. Gordian Knot - Gordian Knot
