Being a teenager in the 1980's, I've a soft spot for the music in the 'Moulin Rouge' soundtrack.

So that gets my No. 1 vote! :-)

After that, the Boomtown Rats, 'Fine Art of Surfing' *S*

[Chi-townChief]

Any of Frank's concept albums from the 50s would be great - I prefer something upbeat like "Come Fly With Me."

Just to throw in a few more cents:

How about the Parker-Gillespie-Mingus-Powell-Roach collaboration, "Jazz at Massey Hall"

or Dave Brubeck's "Time out"

or, more recently, Green Day's "Dookie"

or Mose Allison's "Back Country Suite"

or Martin Denny's "Exotica"?

[Calvin Locke]

...The Eagles...

*Sigh* No offence, but castrated males screeching has never been my idea of entertainment.

I, for one, was happy to see that "style" fade away...

Someone always posts a bunch of obscure groups that makes people wonder if they are missing something or are just not musically enlightened.

I forgot to ask, where is Husker Du, Warehouse: Songs and Stories

[gilor]

Metallica - "Kill 'Em All" & "Master of Puppets"

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

The greatest CD I ever had was one I got during the Carter administration. It was a $100,000, ten-year CD at 14%.

[Mr. Jeeves]

I don't think a single one of your top 100 would make my top 1000! LOL! Different tastes, I guess.

[Sally II]

I know this is an aquired taste, but Tom Waits - "Small Change" and "Franks Wild Years" would be on my top ten. I kind of doubt Tom is a conservative, but I hear he drives a gigantic SUV around the liberal Sebastipole area. Gotta love a man who drives big SUV around a hippie town. :oP

[Vinnie]

Thanks for reminding me of Martin Denny, always liked his music. Who did 'Poinciana'?

My taste now runs to 'Indigo' by Patrick O'Hearn. If I could listen to only one CD, that would be the one.
It's considered New Age.

Frank Sinatra: The Very Best Of Frank Sinatra

[duvausa]

Soooo generationally specific—where are Benny Goodman, Tommy Dorsey, Chuck Berry, Fats Domino, Little Richard, Elvis,? And come on, you can’t leave out Metallica, Guns and Roses, Nirvana. And a personal favorite—Love--Forever Changes.

[Ex-Wretch]

Ahhh, days gone by.

The James Gang Rides Again.

No ELO?

[Ex-Wretch]

I liked Motown a lot too.

[Mixer]

The fact that almost every Zeppelin CD is on there is right on target. The fact that not one of them made your top ten is qustionable : )

Nice list I have to agree with at 80% of those.

[jimfree]

I don't even own 100 CDs.
