Can't remember how many the radio show gave you, so I'm giving you 5 albums to listen to for the rest of your life.

Mine are:

1. Chick Corea - The Mad Hatter
2. Yes - Yessongs
3. Rush - All The World's A Stage
4. Joe Satriani - Surfing With The Alien
5. Steely Dan - Aja

And yes, as you can see above, you are allowed double albums

Impossible to pick just 5. Every time I come up with 5 I think of some more.

Do box sets or anthologies count? If so then Direction Reaction Creation by the Jam is number 1 on all of my lists.

Nope, just double albums...and some may say that even including double albums is cheating lol

I'm with drags it's impossible.....

Im thinking I'd definately need a Zeppelin album in there, then there is early Genesis and Yes, then I'd like an ELP album and I've forgot about Bowie. Rush are one of my favourites, as are the Kinks, King Crimson and the Stones. I know Queen and Elton John aren't everyone's favourites but they made some amazing music.

And I've still failed to get a Jam, Stranglers or Madness album in and they are a must. I love early Sting solo albums and his work with Police, then the bands I shouldn't like but do......like Duran Duran and Spandau and possibly the best pop rock band in ELO.

And still I haven't even mentioned the ladies.........Joan Armatrading, Patti Smith, Annie Lennox, Chrissie Hyde etc etc or Americans like Simon and Garfunkel, or their rock bands  .........Jeez Harv it really is impossible.


Just as I've re read this post, I've remembered The Who, U2, Thin Lizzy, Gabriel, Dire Straits ...............I bloody give up.

Only having 5 albums makes it a real challenge. Stop wussing out lol.

Excluding live, compilation, greatest hits, etc. and only going with studio releases.....


- Metallica "Master of Puppets"
- Ramones "Rocket to Russia"
- Misfits "Static Age"
- Iron Maiden "Piece of Mind"
- Black Sabbath "Vol. IV"

[harv]

You can include those if you want though mate. And a double album counts as 1 CD.
