Oops! I went two over and I don't know which two to eliminate.

 

Abbey Road & Moby Grape

 

Have you heard Moby Grape? That's a pretty great album!

 

Of course but every album on your list is GREAT! It's a loss no matter which album gets cut.
What is your all time top 10 list? I'm curious to know which albums you hold dear to your heart.

 

You'll have to give me a little time to think about that...

I'm working on ten best of the '70s at the moment.

 

Are You Experienced? - Hendrix
Axis - Hendrix
Electric Ladyland - Hendrix
The Allman Brothers - The Allman Brothers
Truth - Jeff Beck
Led Zep I - Led Zep
Sketches Of Spain - Miles Davis
Ray Charles - Modern Sounds In Country And Western I & II
Bookends - Simon & Garfunkel
The Beano Album - John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers with Eric Clapton

 

Impossible to do a top 10, so I have used this thread to list the albums already mentioned (that are in my collection).
These are albums from the 60s I can never tire of...

Mamas and Papas - If You Can Believe Your Eyes and Ears
The Temptations - With A Lot o' Soul
The Bee Gees: Idea
The Bee Gees: Odessa
The Bee Gees 1st

Sorry only made it to 5 (so far)...

Darryl

 

After giving this much thought and research (mostly the latter), I'm going to say:

Bee Gees--Main Course
Andy Gibb--Shadow Dancing
Michael Jackson--Bad
T. Rex--Electric Warrior
Diana Ross--Diana
Donna Summer--Bad Girls
Olivia Newton-John--Physical
ABBA--Arrival
Rod Stewart--Blondes Have More Fun
Christopher Cross--self-titled

 

Jesus Christ! That's almost as bad as something Bobby would come up with. (Aside from T. Rex, they're awesome)

 

The Beatles - White Album (1968)
The Pink Floyd - Piper At The Gates Of Dawn (1967)
Caravan - Caravan (1968)
The Beach Boys - 20/20 (1969)
The Who - A Quick One (1966)
Jimi Hendrix Experience - Are You Experienced? (1967)
The Move - The Move (1968)
Frank Zappa/Mothers Of Invention - We Are In It Only For Money (1968)
Rolling Stones - Aftermath (1966)
Procol Harum - A Salty Dog (1969)

 

Sorry you weren't happy with my list, JohnnyQ. Here are another 10. See if you like these any better:

The Beatles--Abbey Road (because of side 2)
Derek and the Dominos--Layla
Neil Young--After the Gold Rush
Big Star--Radio City
The Clash--London Calling
Bruce Springsteen--Born in the U.S.A.
Robert Cray--Strong Persuader
Public Enemy--It Takes a Nation of Millions
Pavement--Slanted and Enchanted
Sleater-Kinney--Dig Me Out

 

The only albums on the list that I expected were "It Takes a Nation of Millions" & "Dig Me Out". You just become more and more unpredictable. Lol
I'll check out the Pavement album. I've yet to hear any of their work.
My current top 10:

The Cars - The Cars
Talking Heads - Speaking in Tongues
Flaming Lips - The Soft Bulletin
Bruce Springsteen - Born to Run
Michael Jackson - Thriller
Beach Boys - Pet Sounds
Bob Dylan - Blood on the Tracks
My Bloody Valentine - Loveless
Velvet Underground - The Velvet Underground & Nico
Marvin Gaye - What's Going On

 

Let me get my top 5 Beatles albums out of the way first.

Charles Mingus, "The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady"

and it pained me to leave off the Band's "Music from Big Pink" and Bobby Bland's "Two Steps from the Blues" to get to ten.

Freak Out! - Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention
Led Zeppelin
Led Zeppelin II

As with the 70's and 80's threads, here are today's ten personal best (with favorite songs from each):

1. Bob Dylan - Bringing It All Back Home ("Gates of Eden")
2. The Beatles - Revolver ("Tomorrow Never Knows")
3. Jimi Hendrix - Are You Experienced? ("Manic Depression")
4. The Velvet Underground - The Velvet Underground & Nico ("I'm Waiting For the Man")
5. Miles Davis - In A Silent Way ("Shh/Peaceful")
6. Nick Drake - Five Leaves Left ("Three Hours")
7. Dusty Springfield - Dusty In Memphis ("Don't Forget About Me")
8. Johnny Cash - At Folsom Prison ("Folsom Prison Blues")
9. The Grateful Dead - Live/Dead ("Dark Star")
10. The Moody Blues - Days of Future Passed ("Nights In White Satin")

 

That's easy - Pet Sounds and take your pick.

 

That's brutal, Mono. You're only kidding, right????

Electric Warrior is the only possible keeper in the group.

 

For that alone you're okay with me.
