10 favorite albums...

It's summer, I'm bored. What are everyone's top 10 albums. Not necessarily what you think the 10 best albums of all time are, but rather the 10 albums you would take with you on a desert island. Here's my stab, in no particular order:

1) "Sticky Fingers" the Rolling Stones
2) "Decoration Day" Drive-By Truckers
3) "Running on Empty" Jackson Browne
4) "Let it Bleed" the Rolling Stones
5) "Vitalogy" Pearl Jam
6) "Blood Sugar Sex Magick" Red Hot Chili Peppers
7) "August and Everything After" Counting Crows
8) "Boys and Girls in America" the Hold Steady
9) "Rage Against the Machine" Rage Against the Machine
10) "Being There" Wilco

My List in no order

Don't forget the new band, The Dead Weather. They played conan last week and I was SHOCKED to see Jack White playing drums.

YouTube - (HQ) The Dead Weather - "Hang You From The Heavens" on Conan 6/18 (TheAudioPerv.com)

I can not wait until the next Raconteurs album though. They are easily my favorite band of the last 15 years.

Thanks for the link... Jack White does it yet again. He's easily my favorite musician. One of the best guitarists I've seen, plus he's pretty darn good on piano and drums as well. Awesome.

I think it combines the best of what they all do in one record. It has some of the great alt-country/classic rock stuff ("Outtasite", "Monday", "Dreamer in My Dreams") and some great "experimental" stuff ("Sunken Treasure", "Kingpin"). It kind of has all of the things I like about Wilco in one album.

I absolutely love disc 1 of Being There, but I always struggled with disc 2. I've put it on my iPod so hopefully, 13 years later it will resonate with me a little more. "Monday", "Misunderstood", "Outtasite Outamind" (or vice-versa, I can never remember), "I Got You (At the End of the Century)" are among my all-time favs. I put "What's the World Got in Store" on my 4 year old's lullaby CD. Great stuff.

I like it cuz its good ole Weezer but they mixed it up a little bit, i actually like it better because its more upbeat with more interesting melodies rather than strumming chords which I feel like is what most of their stuff is. Plus the album as a whole is unique. You have a more modern Bohemian Rhapsody. And "Heart Songs" is cool cuz they mention all the older artists that they listened to when they were young.

Not sure how you can dislike such legends like Bob Marley, Dispatch, Sublime, Weezer and DMB. Come back and we'll talk after you listen to their music.

Great stuff.

I was always the same way w/disc 2 till about 2 weeks ago. "Sunken Treasure", "Kingpin", "Was I In Your Dreams?", "Dreamer in My Dreams" really got me to dig Disc 2. I think it started w/the awesome version of "Kingpin" on "Ashes of American Flags". On a side note, I decided that the disc 1 version of "Outtasite" is the Stones-esque version, if you will, whereas the disc 2 version is the Beatles-esque version. Not sure if that was Jeff Tweedy's intent, or not.

Interesting choice. I was a huge Weezer fan in high school (saw them in Hilton in 2002), but I haven't been able to get into their last several albums at all. It just seems that they have all paled in comparison to Pinkerton, which is one of my top 20 albums, but not quite top 10. Pinkerton is such an incredible album that I don't expect them to top it, but imo, they haven't even come close.

I've been told by multiple people/media that Pinkerton was a sophomore slump and emo so i don't have it.

Not sure if I'd go so far as to call that group (with the exception of Bob Marley) legends....
