It is a nice list of mile stone tracks. But, all of them ‘The Doors’ and ‘Eric Clapton’ are my favourite tracks.

we’re all marked by the music we grew up with. based on this list, i’d like to recommend a few more recent records that i think you may like.
1) black rebel motorcycle club the first and third cds stand out for me.
2) m83 – the one where people are lieing in the snow.
3) the notwist – neon golden
4) air – walkie talkie
5) king crimson – red (ok, that’s an oldie)
6) muse – the one with the people sitting at a table in the western state desert
7) eno fripp – equatorial stars

well, i hope you like one or two of these.

Very nice off-topic post! Lists of top albums / songs are always fun, especially when you throw in some memories associated with each – I always find it amazing just how much a song can take you back to a place and time.
I love some of the choices – Led Zep, Back in Black, and Graceland especially – but also think is very rock-heavy for my tastes.
One rock-oriented one I’d add would be the Black Crowes’ ‘Shake Your Moneymaker’.
One not rock-oriented one would be Macy Gray’s ‘On How Life Is’.
And if we’re allowed one Greatest Hits mulligan, I’ll take Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers any day of the week. Also like his new / old MudCrutch stuff a whole bunch.

my bad … Blood on the Tracks is on the original list … a classic

An obvious oversight on your part:

I don’t see any Robert Zimmerman albums … one of America’s music institutions.

Nice albums, all have mile stone tracks in them. Just one should belong to the list, Deep Purple, Live in Japan.

Of course, everything on your list is really ‘pop’. I mean – no Miles Davis or John Coltrane? No listing of Bernstein conducting Beethovan’s 9th – which was the recording used to determine the size of the CD?

It is a nice list of pop/rock, though I definitely disagree with you calling the Beatles ‘pop’ while giving REO Speedwagon, Bruce Springsteen, U2 and the Stones a pass. Everything after Rubber Soul is solid non-pop rock music worth considering.

I’d choose Dark side of the Moon over the Wall, as I don’t think that the latter has held up nearly as well (or maybe it was so overplayed back then that I’m *still* sick of it!).

For the Stones I’d definitely go Hot Rocks.

Zepplin *invented* Heavy Metal? Heck, even their own version was lifted directly from the Jeff Beck Group …

Not intending to be overly critical – just keeping the discussion going!

I knew “Born To Run”. “Born To Run” was a friend of mine. “Born In The USA” is no “Born To Run”.

Very good taste, I would agree with every one of them being on my top list also except for the Doors. Then again the Doors sounds OK as long as your on the same stuff they where on when they where performing. So yeah they would even sound “Groovy Man”..lol
