I'll bump with Elvis Costello - My Aim Is True

[hobbes1]

The FIrst Punk rock album? The MC5 might wish to argue that....lol

[hobbes1]

Black Sabbath....Black Sabbath, and Born Again
Thin Lizzy ......Thunder and Lightning
Metallica .......Kill'em all
Nirvana..........Nevermind
Soundgarden......Badmotorfinger
StevieRay Vaughn.Texas Flood
Robert Cray..... Strong Persuader
Judas Priest.... Sad Wings of Destiny
Pink Floyd, Most, but I'll Say The Wall

And two of the best Live albums ever made...
KISS.............Alive
UFO..............Strangers in the Night
(The last side, is 2 songs, it opens with Lights Out, and goes into Rock Bottom, and is probably Michael Schenkers finest recorded moment...

[hobbes1]

Jeez, how did I forget that....

[hobbes1]

Just one More Live album...."If you want Blood...."

[JoeGar]

What? No "Abba Gold" nor Donna Summer's "Anthology"?

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Michael W Smith - i to eye
Michael W Smith - The Big Picture

[RedBloodedAmerican]

eh, you know those *nix guys...

[grania]

I agree that this compilation is way too scewed to the 60's and 70's.

In both directions...the '50s and early '60s had some great music...Rick Nelson, Eagles, Ike and Tina Turner...

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Didn't they make a comeback as The Village People?

[RedBloodedAmerican]

eat a peach

[Future Snake Eater]

R.E.M. - Automatic For The People

Definitely agree with that. Also, Dave Matthews Band's "Before These Crowded Streets."

[Salo]

Rush - Moving Pictures.

[BigBadWolf]

Your list includes Joy Division, but not AC/DC?

Somethings wrong with that dude.

[Skooz]

Oh, that reminds me:

REM - Document

[Future Snake Eater]

Never was a big "Document" fan. However, you can't live w/out "Dead Letter Office" both for its little screwy playful tracks and the original "Chronic Town" collection. Great VERY early R.E.M. album (not for R.E.M. lightweights, though).

[Constitution Day]

The Pixies - Doolittle

Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation

Pavement - Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain
