ok Fishes - your top 10 albums of all time - no compilations!

Some of mine are rather predictable but what the hell, I love them.

After number four my list is not absolute in order, just the music I love the most.

Lamb lies down on broadway - Genesis
Wish you were here - Pink Floyd
Phaedra - Tangerine Dream
The Planets - Holst
Beat - King Crimson
The Wall - Pink Floyd
Camel - Camel
Stupid Dream - Porcupine Tree
Still Loving You - Tom Robinson
 
today it's:
Low - In the Fishtank
Beefheart - Clearspot
Smog - A River Ain't Too Much to Love
Smog - Red Apple Falls
Wilco - A Ghost is Born
Bert Jansch - Jack Orion
JJ Cale - Troubador
Bill Wells/Aidan Moffat - Everything's Getting Older
Loose Fur - Loose Fur
Malcom Middleton - Waxing Gibous

Always interesting to see other peoples lists, was looking at the contributors top 20's on Allmusic last night and fascinated and appalled to see folks rating things I like along with what, in my close minded way, I consider to be utter rubbish. Tricky cove is taste.

Japan - Tin Drum
Ravel Piano Works (3 lp set) - Vlado Perlemuter
Jaco Pastorius - Jaco Pastorius
Fleetwood Mac - Rumours
Keith Jarrett - Tribute
The Smiths - The Queen is Dead
Bach - St Matthew Passion (Gardiner/Baroque Soloists)
Michael Brecker - Michael Brecker
 
Love - Forever Changes

Grateful Dead - Live/Dead
Television - Marquee Moon
Patti Smith - Horses
Joni Mitchell - Hissing Of Summer Lawns
Elliot Smith - Either/Or
Richard Thomplson - Shoot Out The Lights
Inge Thompson - Shipwrecks & Static
