Yeah, Whipping Boy's 'Heartworm' is a definite. My vote for album of the 90's, and I'm not just talking Irish.

I think the sign of a really great album is that you can put it on regularly over years and never get bored of it.

'London Calling' is in there too for me.

And in a totally different style, Van Morrison's 'Astral Weeks'.

LA_girl

City of Angels soundtrack
Old 97s - Fight Songs
Beatles - Abbey Road
David Kitt - Big Romance
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
Stone Temple Pilots - Purple
Patti Griffin - Living with Ghosts


to name a few...

Tyrrial

been listening to Snow Patrol - Songs for Polar Bears.
brilliant album!

Saint-dotsie

wish you were here- my fave record of all time
purple by the pilots is damn good
downward spiral is a must

keep em coming lets try get a list of ten essential albums together and kind of vote for them, so pick one album, not the album that you would bring to a dessert island with you but the album that you think puts the band/group/singer forward in their best light. think eclectic aswell.

solid air - john martyn (its not my fave martyn record, but it is his best)

LA_girl

Bread Anthology

Cozpyro

Ya gotta have

Kiss - Destroyer
Miles Davis - Kind of Blue
Alice In Chains - Unplugged
Thin Lizzy - Live and Dangerous

Along with a hell of a lot of the ones listed above.

Saint-dotsie

i dont agree with bread tho, i think there are far better records than the collection i have of theirs , its got a brownish/yellow cover.and it just say s bread on it

Tyrrial
