Yeah..I know...Jeeze ANOTHER top albums thread?
Well I thought, why just let the guys have all the fun? So here's a music thread from a womens perspective. Will it have Liza or Babs listed? Have to check and see.
So I'm gonna list my top 50 albums of all time.
1.Queen- "A Night at the Opera": Ok...it would be blasphemous for me not to have one of my favorite bands on this list, especially since is my all time favorite album of theirs. Not ONE song on this album sucks (although Sunday Afternoon comes close ). THIS is how I like to think of Queen, with HUGE rock anthems that are as musical and elaborate as a Mozart symphony. I refuse to acknowledge their albums in the 80's when they went all soft and new wavy. Songs to be noted are; "Death on Two Legs" which is a perfect breakup song, "39" which is May's baby (and apparently is about space travel, I always thought it was about WWII lol)," In Love with my Car" (I always liked Rogers voice), and of course the incomparable "Bohemian Rhapsody:.
2.Heart - Dreamboat Annie: Back in the 70's , these sisters were once called "Americas answer to Zep". Great guitars, and who doesn't love Ann's voice??
3.Marilyn Manson: Mechanical Animal- Wow.... This album is a complete about-face from his dark/evil industrial rock persona.. Here Manson channels 70's Bowie and churns out a GREAT glam influenced rock album.. It's another album that I can't find one bad song to. I mean 'Coma White", "Rock is Dead", "Dope Show"...what's not to love?? *sighs* it really makes one miss Twiggy as the main guitarist too.
4.AC DC- Back in Black: With Bon Scott deceased, would the band survive? The answer in short...Hell Yes. AC DC is my fave band...and this is one of their best albums. If you have never heard this album..shame on you ...I mean, after all...Rock and Roll ain't noise pollution.
5. Rolling Stone: Hot Rocks-- Yeah, so it's a compilation album..so?? If you must have one album by the 'Stones, why not get one that covers all the bases?
6. The Eagles: Hotel California-- This album was on heavy rotation at my house when I was a child...Of course heading up this album is "Hotel California", which I always thought was about the horrors of drug abuse. My other two fave songs from this album is "New Kid in Town" and "Waisted Time". A great 70's album by a great 70's band.
7.Kiss : Alive! --What can I say? I'm a sucker for bigger than life rock groups.. I typically don't like over thinking my rock...Rock is supposed to be obnoxious and pointless.. (which is why I don't like MOST of the crap from the 80's and grunge bands from the 90's) Recorded in studio and at rock concerts this live album kicks @ss.. Having "Parasite" on an LP is reason enough to have this.
8. Metallica : The Black Album-- This should be on every metal-rock lovers list. Hard rocking with downright beautiful songs like "Unforgiven". Before the greed of the Napster days. *sighs*
9. Guns N Roses : Appetite for Destruction- See above for my reason for it's inclusion. When rock seemed to be heading down a road of cutesy hair bands with pink leather along came this group. As someone said on VH1's special about Metal , this band was the real deal who could wrap Poison around their little finger. Yeah...Axls a prick...but he had a great voice... and at least 90 percent of the band went on to form Velvet Revolver. Oddly enough.. I am meh about Use your Illusion.
10. Creedence Clearwater Revival Willy and the Poor Boys - I know most ppl like Bayou Country, or Green River...but this is my fave CCR album.
Of course..more to come!
