What Are Your Favorite Albums?

[etoncrow]

Waiting for Columbus - Little Feat
Live at the Fillmore East - ABB
Deepest End - Govt Mule

 

[FuturePrimitive]

Rush - Moving Pictures
I know its cliche and there are better Rush songs than any one song on MP but as a whole it's a tough record to beat. The reason I play bass.

Bad Religion - Generator
I listened to this CD on repeat while reading The Stand, amazing how well they went together! The tone of Generator is very apocalyptic.

Bruce Springsteen - Nebraska
No bass? WHAT?! Just an unbelievably emotional record. Makes anything written by "sad" bands like The Cure sound like Sesame Street.

Pink Floyd - The Wall
Listened to this one for about a year straight during my "confused" adolescent years. Wore that tape out. Yea, cassette tape. Still think its one of the best records ever.
