The Big 10

[Narps]

I know there are craploads of threads around here like this one but I really enjoy seeing what folks tastes are. You get 10 albums you can listen to for the rest of your days. Thats it. What and who will it be? The trick here is you can only pick one album from any band or artist. Here are my picks as difficult as it is. No. 1 is the only easy one for me.... :haz:

 

1. Rush All The Worlds A Stage

 

2. Yes Going For The One

 

3. UFO Strangers In The Night

 

4. Judas Priest Sad Wings Of Destiny

 

5. Scorpions In Trance

 

6. Led Zeppelin Physical Graffiti

 

7. Van Halen Van Halen

 

8. AC/DC Let There Be Rock

 

9. Styx The Grand Illusion

 

10. Journey Infinity

 

There are so many recordings from these bands that I love but I could choose one. I think truthfully Yes is the hardest for me to choose from. Ask me tomorrow it it may be Tormato or Close To The Edge or a few others... :)

[greyfriar]

Too hard for me in my condition, :smoke: :hail: give me a hundred.

[bathory]

have a shot every time someone lists van halen, yes, or dream theater

[KenJennings]

The Yes Album just missed the cut on my list too.

[Your_Lion]

There seems to be a lot of people picking Rush, too. Must be some kind of coincidence

[Lost In Xanadu]

I was going to put Yes on mine too... Genesis also.

 

Those would have rounded out my top 12.

[bathory]

yes, genesis and rush would for sure be on my list

[Aikenrooster]

yes, genesis and rush would for sure be on my list

Feel free to make a list. Your list of metal is going to probably make my list look like choir music.

[bathory]

I couldn't narrow it down to 10, and nah, my all-time favorite stuff is pretty easy to swallow. I like death metal and all that but stuff like sabbath and maiden's more important for me as far as metal goes

[bathory]

besides, I'd probably have to take it genre by genre. and then subgenre by subgenre

[bathory]

as far as more "extreme" metal I'd definitely have some bathory on the list though

[Narps]

I was going to put Yes on mine too... Genesis also.

 

Those would have rounded out my top 12.

It was the big 12 at first but I had it all done and hit a wrong button and everything disappeared :sigh: . I was so pissed and I had to start all over and laziness kicked in and I made it only 10....

 

I think I had Ted Nugent Double Live Gonzo and Moxy Moxy1 on there to begin with. These were big albums to me in my youth. I could listen to Great White Buffalo and Stranglehold live all day.... :)

[Lorraine]

Rush - Moving Pictures

The Moody Blues - Seventh Sojourn

The Rolling Stones - Beggar's Banquet

Steely Dan - Aja

Alice Cooper - Billion Dollar Babies

The Police - Synchronicity

Joe Jackson - Beat Crazy

The Doors - Soft Parade

The Who - Quadrophenia

Yes - Close To The Edge

 

This was tough. I know there might be a few others that I would take in lieu of the ones I have mentioned, but since I no longer have my albums, and my memory, especially when it concerns anything to do with the eighties, is pretty useless, this is the best I could do, all things considered. :)

I used to love Stranglehold, but I find it way to long and drawn out now.
