["Kingofpain89"]I tell you this is much harder to choose than the top 20 adventures of all time. But I will give it a go. My top ten albums:10. U2 - The Joshua Tree9. Iron Maiden - Somewhere In Time8. Joe Satriani - Flying In A Blue Dream7. Pink Floyd - A Momentary Lapse of Reason6. Ozzy Osbourne - The Ultimate Sin5. Van Halen - 19844. Queen - The Works3. Queensryche - Empire2. The Police - Every Breath You Take: The Singles1. Rush - ChroniclesThe last two had to be greatest hits compilations. I cant choose a favorite album from either of those bands. And I could have easily changed my mind about 6 - 10 on any given day. Metallica - Master of Puppets, Eric Johnson - Ah Via Musicom, Sting - Dream of the Blue Turtles, Peter Gabriel - So, Midnight Oil - Blue Sky Mining...the list goes on and on. From reading others choices I realize that I probably have the most mainstream musical tastes of any member here. I was definitely influenced more by 80's Top 40 music than anything else.Hey Mike, why the hell arent you either a radio DJ or a music critic? You know more about music than any ten people I know.
Sorry but I cant help myself here. Werewolves of London is the single worst song I have ever heard. Except maybe for the shit New Kids on the Block or Vanilla Ice pooped out over the years. And due to the disgust I feel toward that song, I have never listened to anything else that Warren Zevon has done. The really sad thing is...my fiance loves that song. I guess no one can be perfect. Damnit...now I have that frickin' song stuck in my head. Maybe listening to Debbie Gibson will nullify its effects?

Maybe you will find something tasty!Future Sound of London's Dead cities is electronic music, aggressive but very clever and interesting, i would say seminal... Not for clubbers or electro-addicts, but a real research on sounds, samples... Even if you don't like electronic music, try to listen to it. Schizophrenic? To hard for me to describe in your language!Goldfrapp's Felt Mountain uses samples or electronic loops also, but it is more melancolic. Not far away from Portieshead for example. Very fragile, very pure. Take a deep breath!The Verve's Urban Hymns is probably one of the best achievement in 'Brit Pop'. I really think that this is the record that bands like Blur, Oasis, Suede (or Stone Roses) always wanted to record.Dead Can Dance's Into the Labyrinth is probably well knowned here, by RPG fans. The best track on Gladiator OST is signed by the singer of Dead Can Dance.Morrissey, Vauxhall and I. Morrissey, the Smiths... well, I am sure that some britons here would explain that better than me!Oh, and I have already changed my mind... I would add to my list Portieshead and Liz Phair...Mike, I have really enjoyed the movie 'High Fidelity'! Every situation or season should have its personal 'top ten' I have compiled many tapes in the past, for each season... well, if I had more time nowadays...

Many of my friends have told me I resemble the characters of High Fidelity....I love making music lists. When we went on road trips back in the day we would pass the time by making lists of music, like ten best songs to drive to, or ten best first lines of songs, it kept up busy and was fun, so I got into the habit. One of the great things nowadays is the ability to burn cds quickly and easily. It used to take a large chunk out of your afternoon back in the day to record a 90 or 120 minute cassette off your records! Now you just pick the tunes from your list on the computer and you have a nice new cd ina few minutes. It makes handing out music to others quick and easy also...I just burned a Warren Zevon cd for King to listen to on his honeymoon and it took approximately 8 minutes.... Mike B.
