The Albums You Should Have Listened To Before You Die
This is a meme I can get behind.
Copy the list on to your blog, put in bold the ones you have listened to (completely from beginning to end) and then add three more albums that you think people should have heard before they turn into their parents - remember, it isn't necessarily your most favourite albums but the ones you think people should listen to... and when we say listen we mean from track one through to the end... If you put a link to your follow-on post in the comments of the site where you found it, the chain will be trackable. From now on, you are also allowed to DELETE up to THREE albums on the existing list, if you feel a) that this is an album which should not reasonably be foisted upon anybody, or b) that one Steve Earle album is quite enough for one lifetime, thank you.
London Calling - The Clash
Think Tank - Blur
This Is Hardcore - Pulp
Moon Safari - Air
Never Mind The Bollocks Here's the Sex Pistols - Sex Pistols
OK Computer - Radiohead
The Wall - Pink Floyd
Setting Sons - The Jam
Come From The Shadows - Joan Baez
The River - Bruce Springsteen
The Very Best Of Joan Armatrading - Joan Armatrading
What's Going On - Marvin Gaye
Metal Box - Public Image Ltd
Orbital #2 (The Brown Album) - Orbital
Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain - Pavement
Apple Venus Vol. 1 - XTC
Marquee Moon - Televison
I Never Loved A Man (The Way I Love You) - Aretha Franklin
The Velvet Underground & Nico - The Velvet Underground & Nico
Spirit Of Eden - Talk Talk
The Marshall Mathers LP - Eminem
Red Clay - Freddie Hubbard
"Heroes" - David Bowie
Fear Of Music - Talking Heads
Secret Name - Low
The last three are my additions. And I removed:
Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars - David Bowie because "Heroes" is better,
Daydream Nation - Sonic Youth because it is boring boring boring,
Appetite For Destruction - Guns N Roses because except for the singles it is utter shit.
I almost removed Pink Floyd (Meddle instead, surely?) or the Sex Pistols (fuck off) instead, though.
Pass it on; I got it from Nick, and if you get it from me be a dear and (a) link this post (b) let me know. I'd like to see where this goes.
