Essential Music, The albums you cant live without

freedirk · 04-13-2007

We talk alot on here about the players, the tech, our mutual disregard for fruit branded products and the sheep that buy them and the faults that occasionaly occur.

Has anyone remembered what the player does though? It brings the joy of music to every available opportunity. Stealing moments to listen to what you love. So what is it? when you charged the battery up on your player, and pluged it into your computer, what did you put on first?

My first (and most essential) 5;

1. Radio 1 live lounge album
2. Fatboy slims Greatest hits
3. Wolfmother (Got to love "The Mother")
4. Razorlight (the first self entitled album)
5. Richard Cheese & Lounge against the machine - Tuxicity

I listen to mostly asian music, to which most here won't know. So i'll just list my favourite albums/singles for western music:

Linkin park and all their albums
Any new chart toppers, especially RnB and hip-hop, like Ne-Yo, Chris Brown etc.

I don't have essentials, as my taste in music changes a lot. Currently, it would have to be these:

1. Timbaland - Timbaland Presents: Shock Value
2. Tahiti 80 - Fosbury
3. The Hives - Your New Favorite Band
4. Se7en - 24/7
5. The Faint - Wet from Birth

Avantasia - the metal opera...
i love it

but i don't think that it is very popular so don't be sad when you don't know it... just listen to it at amazon.com and buy it afterwards

My choices:

Never Mind The Bollocks - Sex Pistols
Bat Out Of Hell - Meatloaf
Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin
Blizzard Of Oz - Ozzy Osbourne
In The Heat Of The Night - Pat Benatar

Individual songs a plenty - but gotta have these 5 albums.
