Can you name your top 10 must listen to albums?

Me and my mates have been trying to do this for the last 2 weeks, and are no closer to getting an answer.

What are yours?

I'll keep adding to mine as I think of them.... probably taking some out at the same time

1. Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace - Foo Fighters
2. The experiance- Prodigy
3. Smash- Offspring
4. Hybrid Theory- Linkin Park
5. Earthly Pleasures- Maximo Park
6. Light grenades- Incubus
7. Dummy Portishead
8. Youth and young manhood- Kings of Leon

Listing Top 10’s is almost impossible, one always seems to want to edit it.

Here are 10 albums that I will probably still be listening to in 10 years time, which is about as close as I’ll get to listing a Top 10.....

Alabama 3 – ‘Exit On Coldharbour Lane’
Bernard Fanning – ‘Tea and Sympathy’
Tamas Wells – ‘A Mark On The Pane’
Gov’t Mule – ‘With A Little Help From Our Friends, Vol 1’
Dirty Three – ‘Horse Stories’
Lambchop – ‘Is A Woman’
Mark Lanegan – ‘I’ll Take Care Of You’
Eva Cassidy – ‘Songbird’
Ryan Adams – ‘Gold’
Patricia Kaas – ‘Le Mot de Passe’


Some of the newer albums I’ve been playing so far this year might replace a couple in my list (like The Gutters Twins ‘Saturnalia’)

1) 'American Idiot' by Green Day;
2) 'Nevermind'by Nirvana;
3) 'One' by The Beatles;
4) 'Elv1s' by Elvis Presley;
5) 'The Black Parade' by My Chemical Romance;
6) 'The Colour and the Shape' by Foo Fighters;
7) 'History' by Michael Jackson;
'Songs For The Deaf' by Queens Of The Stone Age;
9) 'Californication' by Red Hot Chili Peppers;
10) '(Whats The Story) Morning Glory' by Oasis.
