No collection is complete without.......

[Angry Puppy]

So guys, regardless of era or genre (sp?) what music is in your collection that you reckon no collection is complete without? Here are a few of my suggestions;

- Metalica, Black Album
- Green Day, Dookie
- Guns and Roses, Apetite for destruction
- Power Finder, Space Odessy Number 9
- Dire Straits, Alchemy Live
- Pink Floyd, Brick in the wall
- Metallica, S&M

Fazer Bloke

[bluninja]

I think every collection should have at least one of the following


Now that's what I call music...
Best Rock Album in the world ever
Any 'Best of...' album
Soundtrack from 'The Sound of Music' or 'South Pacific'

:banana: :banana: :banana:

[vifferman]

- Power Finder, Space Odessy Number 9
"Powder Finder" ?:shit:
I know - you meant "Powderfinger, Space Odyssey Number 9" :Punk:
Never heard of it.

And you meant: Pink Floyd "Pulse", right?

[Slingshot]

Pearl Jam - Ten
Nirvana - Nevermind
Smashing Pumpkins -Siamese Dream
System of a Down - Steal This Album
Temple of a Dog
Led Zep - Remasters

to name a few

[Paul in NZ]

Musics a bit like motorcycles...

All the good stuff was made before 1967....

:banana:

Paul N

[SPman]

I'll play your silly game and raise you one.

Suicidal Tendencies - Lights... Camera.....Revolution!

Testament - The Gathering

peter gabriel - (the album where his face is half run paint) biko i think.
u2 - which ever one you prefer (im with the less popular "unforgetable fire")
david bowie - re above
oh and prodigy - i lean more to "music for the jilted generation"

[Bandito]

ALICE IN CHAINS-DIRT
THE CLASH-LONDON CALLING
MIDNIGHT OIL 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
MANIC STREET PREACHERS-GENERATION TERRERIST
SOUNDGARDEN-BADMOTORFINGER
IRON MAIDEN-NUMBER OF THE BEAST
THE STRANGLERS-RATTUS NORVEGICUS

they say variety is the spice of life...

[Hooks]

I like some of the bluesy stuff too ....

Stevie Ray ... anything !!
ZZ Top ...Tres Hombres
Triumph ...Thunder Seven
Gary Moore .. Corridors of Power

[Hooks]

THE STRANGLERS-RATTUS NORVEGICUS

they say variety is the spice of life...

Now there's a classic from the past !! ..... Sitting on the beaches looking at the peaches !!! .. Love it still !!

[badlieutenant]

this is gona be a BIG list. Have yet to spot an album I dont like some of the song off of.
Bob Marley (and peter tosh if you prefer) Any album you want. My fav is "talking blues.
i just had to add him, cant believe i forgot

[Madmax]

dead kennedys fresh fruit for rotting vegatables
ramones :wacko:

[jrandom]

And you meant: Pink Floyd "Pulse", right?

I think he *really* meant, or should have, Pink Floyd's 'Piper at the Gates of Dawn', 'A Saucerful of Secrets', 'Relics', 'Meddle', 'Dark Side of the Moon', 'Wish You Were Here', 'Animals', 'The Wall', 'Delicate Sound of Thunder' and 'The Division Bell'. I'm not sure whether to count the last one, but there are some nice pop songs on it, one way or t'other.

Roger Waters was one of the notable lyricists of the twentieth century, IMHO.

[jrandom]

Led Zep - Remasters

I had that album, but it's just not the same.

One should just buy Zep III, Zep IV and Physical Graffiti instead.

[jrandom]

Ummm...

- Elton John, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
- Any good organ recording of Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor
- Verdi's Requiem Dies Irae
- Mozart's Requiem Aeternam
- Enya, Watermark

[Hooks]

Then listen carefully to "The Final Cut" !! that has some great tracks that display his irreverent sense of humour !!

[jrandom]

Then listen carefully to "The Final Cut" !! that has some great tracks that display his irreverent sense of humour !!

I've spent the last decade meaning to buy The Final Cut, and never quite getting round to it. I really should.

[Hooks]

[QUOTE=jrandom]Ummm...

- Any good organ recording of Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor

Have you heard the last albumby Blondie ?? ...That has a rap song with that as it's intro !! Bloody good up loud !!

[SPman]

Nah - Led Zep 1 is the best!

[Hooks]

I've spent the last decade meaning to buy The Final Cut, and never quite getting round to it. I really should.


Mate !!!! there is a great song there called "Get Your Filthy Hands Off My Desert" ... Starts with an F16 roaring over !! .... it absolutely gives war and it's meaningless persuit a real going over .... And one scary song is "Two Suns In The Sunset" .... could be the human race is run ....

[jrandom]

Nah - Led Zep 1 is the best!

You reckon?

I think I'd have trouble choosing, really. Just buy 'em all and be done w'it I say. But I personally couldn't live without the Immigrant Song, Black Dog, Stairway to Heaven, Trampled Underfoot or Kashmir.

And I shelled out for 'In Through the Out Door' a couple of months back, finally. It's good!

[badlieutenant]

Ummm...

- Elton John, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
- Any good organ recording of Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor
- Verdi's Requiem Dies Irae

John Bonham died six months before I was born, you know.

[Ms Piggy]

Don't forget 'Grace Jones: Island Life' and 'Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong: Ella and Lois' :Punk:

[Hooks]

:Oi: you buggers been at my collection ??? sounds like there are some real cross overs here !!
Any one here heard of John Campbell ?? Cajun Bluesman !! Did 2 albums then died aged about 60 !! He does the best version of "When The Levee Breaks" that I have ever heard !! .. If you keep an eye out for the albums you won't regret buying them ... The first is "One Believer" and the second is "Howlin' Mercy" ...

[jrandom]

Amen to that! LZ III is ok but a bit hippyish, LZ 4 has been thrashed too much thanks to Stairway to Heavan, Physical Graffiti isn't too bad though.

Jeepers, the day we start bagging LZ4 as overcommercialised, I think we can safely say we've gone through disestablishmentarianism and out the other side.

[Blakamin]

Well, mine would be like:
Metallica - The Black Album
Slayer - Reign in Blood
Fear Factory - Demanufacture
Machine Head - Burn My Eyes

And they nearly all are... Metallica - Metallica sux... they were alright before then. Ive got Kill em all, master, ride, garage, justice....


How can you not have Exodus, Kreator, Motorhead and Anthrax in there??

[Devil]

Hey! Im not THAT old ;)
:soon:

And yeah re: metallica. Have all of them, if I could pick just one it'd be the black album. I love lightning and puppets, but I get sick of the old production, I want somethign with balls.

[riffer]

How can you not have Exodus, Kreator, Motorhead and Anthrax in there??
Ummm, cause Exodus are show ponies, Kreator are tuneless Germans, Motorhead are well, Motorhead, fun but not essential, and Anthrax are a bunch of sell-outs. ;)

[Hooks]

Jeepers, the day we start bagging LZ4 as overcommercialised, I think we can safely say we've gone through disestablishmentarianism and out the other side.

Status Quo !!!!

[Blakamin]

But they are the ones that shaped metal as we know it!

I like re-living my yooff :blink:

[F5 Dave]

david bowie - re above
oh and prodigy - i lean more to "music for the jilted generation"

Peter Gabriel’s 1st solo album was a self titled album.
As was his 2nd, & his 3rd, & his 4th.
Wallflower on the 4th was awesome.
Face melting is 3rd one & yes I agree the best.

Don’t buy ‘Up’ though, instead buy plays live

Stranglers Ratus Norvegicus has to be one of my fav albums (No more heros their next best).

Fresh fruit DKs is good, like the single Too Drunk to Fuck for a laugh, but only have it on Vinyl.

Tool. Lateralus

Time to hit the unsubscribe button, this will be a long one.

[Hooks]

But they are the ones that shaped metal as we know it!

I like re-living my yooff :blink:

What !!! shaped metal as we know it !!! I don't think so !! .... Go back and listen to stuff like Thin Lizzy from the last of their albums .... MSG ..... a german outfit worthy of being called true metal !! .... The Scorpians, even from their early stuff ... early Rush ..... Very early Gary Moore ....Alcatraz to a certain degree and most of all ..... anything by Deep Purple !! .... Try to find the version of "living for the city" by the Ian Gillan Band too .... great !!!

[Blakamin]

Got all those too, MSG and Scorpians are good.. but they didnt do the "thrash" thing. gary moore is one of my fav guitarists.. got the live album "We Want Moore" around somewhere. grew up with deep purple etc... my brother is 10 years older than me.
I love it alll

[spudchucka]

Jeepers, the day we start bagging LZ4 as overcommercialised, I think we can safely say we've gone through disestablishmentarianism and out the other side.
I'm not saying overcommercialised, just over thrashed, thanks to Stairway - not their best work in my opinion. I'm as guilty as anyone because my very old LP copy of LZ4 can barely be played from overuse, I haven't botherd replacing it with a CD copy although many of the tracks are on remasters anyway.
