I really can't disagree with many of these. I might exchange "Sea Change" for "Odelay," "Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga" for "Gimme Fiction," "Revolver" for "Abbey Road" (although that's a tough call)... Add some Rilo Kiley, Rage's "Battle of Los Angeles," and would definitely go with "White Blood Cells"... That's pretty well good.

[CLONECONES]

most recent one for me?

Sea Wolf - "Old World Romance"

(and btw: he's doing a free show at the maintenance shop in november)

[TheBentStick]

I don't have time now to make a list (work seems to get in the way sometimes) but regardless of ones age, shouldn't Bob Marley Legend be on every list?

[CLONECONES]

Miles Davis - ******* Brew

since it's the 30th anniversary for the dogfish head beer released for it

Other additions:
Billie Holiday - "God Bless the Child"
The National - "Boxer"
Marvin Gaye - "What's Going On"

Compilation album. SMH.

I strongly debated throwing up Legend, but shied away due to the compilation thing.

FWIW, Rolling Stone included it in their Top 500 of all-time, and it really probably is THE definitive Greatest Hits album.
