15 Albums

My Wife Suggested I might do this, The challenge is to name your top 15 albums in 15 minutes. So here you go....

1)Exile on Main Street - The Rolling Stones



What can I say , it rocks...

2)The Wall - Pink Floyd



Still remember hearing it for the first time, Still listen almost daily, how sad is that.... Oh and going to see it toured by Roger Waters for the first time in 25 years in May next year.

3)The Doors - Live



Jim Morrison at his best Live screaming anger and rebellion.

4)Metallica - The Black Album



Warning don't drive to this you'll be done for speeding. Heavy rock with decent Lyrics and you can scare the kids with "Enter Sandman"


5)The Man Comes Around - Johnny Cash



The man knew he was dying, covered these songs. I challenge you to listen to Hurt without crying.

6) Songs for the Deaf - Queens of the Stone Age



Look up angry in the dictionary you'll probably find this. Good for when you feel angry (at least you don't feel alone with your anger.)

7) Led Zeppelin iv



Words escape me.

8)Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd



One of my first albums and has everything.

9)Amused to Death - Roger Waters



Probably the most articulate anti-war album ever.

10) Meltdown - David Gilmour



A voice like velvet with his acoustic guitar. If this was piped into prisons there would never be any trouble.

11) Changes - David Bowie



A perfect album.

12)Pet Sounds - The Beach Boys



The catchiest album ever produced.

13)The Mission Soundtrack - Ennio Morricone



Makes me cry... enough said

14)Stone Roses - Stone Roses



Lie back and chill, let all that stress just bleed away.

15)Raising Sand - Robert Plant & Alison Krauss



On paper NO, in practice wow what an album.
