Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Favourite Albums all time/any genre...

I can't say I like the Hip, I have a bit of the opposite feeling about them truthfully... but TPOH's Love Junk and the less angsty One Sided Story are both really good albums. (Also for the readers - Moe Berg's The Green Room is a good collection of short stories, although the (romantic?) subject content can border on the odd).

Leonard Cohen needs a mention in the CanCon section as well.

Could add Holly Cole, Diana Krall, heck even Paul Anka should be mentioned too. Not many people have written/sung so many hits in every decade since the Stone Age as he has.

Well here are 20, but trying not to include any release already mentioned here, any "Best of", and only 1 per artist. In alpha order:

1. Allman Brothers - Live at Fillmore East
2. Blue Hawaiians - Sway
3. Brian Setzer Orch - The Dirty Boogie
4. Casting Crowns - Casting Crowns
5. Chris Botti - To Love Again
6. Chris Tomlin - Arriving
7. David Gilmour - On an Island
8. Def Leppard - Hysteria
9. Gary Moore - After Hours
10. George Winston - Autumn
11. Jeff Beck - Blow by Blow
12. JetPack - JetPack
13. Meatloaf - Bat Out of Hell
14. Neil Young - Everybody Knows this is Nowhere
15. Peter Frampton - Fingerprints
16. Robin Trower - Bridge of Sighs
17. Rolling Stones - Sticky Fingers
18. Star Sailor - Silence is Easy
19. Thelonious Monk - Live at Carnergie Hall with John Coltrane

Opps only 19, so Pink Floyd - Wish You Where Here

that may break only 1 per artist though, so if need be, through in The Beatles - Let It Be

This is also a great forum to see what else people listen to...

13. Meatloaf - Bat Out of Hell
Yes, Todd Rundgren meets Marvin Aday and Jim Steinman... a very good meeting of the minds.

8. Def Leppard - Hysteria
Wait, seriously? I just... it's always easy to dismiss other peoples' tastes in anything... but... wow... that's like seeing "Totally Krossed Out" by Kris Kross on a list.

But I am biased against 80s spandex c*** rock.

Translation: "SNAP, oh no you didn't go Def Leppard all up in here!"
Come on, Motely Crue, Guns & Roses, Metalica - not all spandex was that bad.

Def Leppard is good, but Hysteria was too overproduced for a hard rock album. I prefer Pyromania.

Mrs. Medic8r: Tough day at work, honey?
Medic8r: Yeah, I was discussing hysteria and pyromania with my colleagues...

and my employees' ass....

I see the trap, I see the bait... I'm walking away... this will not end well.

Hey, that's the last time I vouch for you and try to get you an EP600!

:runs away crying:

...the better part of valor! You don't want to set off the aged and semi-infirm hoard of 80’s metal heads in here. We are feisty, but our attention span is real . . . what was I ranting about?
