7 albums you could not live without

[ItBeThatWay27]

I've been wanting to ask the question, 'what are 5 albums you could not live without', but I thought 5 was a low number, so then I thought ok, 10 albums.... but 10 seemed sort of high... so I decided on 7. Can you choose 7 albums by any artist that you just love so much you could not live without?? Or I could word it like "if you were stranded on a desert island, what 7 albums would you have with you?"

[JThisWay620]

Not in any particular order:

1) Marilyn Manson - Holywood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death)
2),3), 4), Jewel- 0304, Goodbye Alice In Wonderland, and This Way
5)Godsmack- Faceless
6) Avenged Sevenfold- Waking the Fallen
7)Shakira- Grandes Exitos (Greatest Hits)

[Sitdogboy!]

Jewel- 0304
Jewel- GAIW
Garbage- Bleed Like Me
Garbage- Version 2.0
Bjork- Homogenic
Emma Bunton- Free Me
Geri Halliwell- Passion

I love em!

[ItBeThatWay27]

these are in no particular order

1- Steve Miller Band - Greatest Hits 1974-78
2- Jewel - Spirit
3- Jewel - This Way
4- Aimee Mann - Lost In Space
5- Once More, With Feeling (The Buffy soundtrack)
6- John Mayer - Continuum
7- Death Cab for Cutie - Plans

Jthisway, I give u kudos on the grandes exitos, that's a good album, I think Shakira is a really underestimated artist.. I love Donde estan los ladrones

[JThisWay620]

I can't get enough of Ciega, Sordomuda. I was having spasms when I saw Shakira at Madison Square Garden over the summer and she performed it. Yes she is VERY underestimated as an artist, but only here in teh States. Her intelligence isn't noticed at all it's all about the belly dancing and she is MUCH more than that.

[Little Bird]

Oh this is tough. I have a tendency to change my mind about things like this depending on my mood. Can I have 10? I can't think of just 7.

Here goes. Not in any particular order.

1 - Pieces of You - Jewel
2 - GAIW - Jewel
3 - Spirit - Jewel
4 - This Way - Jewel
5 - O - Damien Rice
6 - Black Album - Metallica
7 - Cross of Changes - Enigma
8 - The Screen Behind the Mirror - Enigma
9 - MCMXC A.D - Enigma
10 - My mixed cd of all my favourite songs by various artists.

[ShawnShamrock]

I don't wanna sound like a smartasss but if your stranded on a deserted Island how are you going to listen to these albums with no Radio and no electricty

[Sitdogboy!]

He never said you didnt have a giant mansion, a butler, or a cheif! You just cant get CD's. Things are limited, even for a billionare on an island :)

[last_dance_rodeo]

1. Jewel-POy
2.Jewel- This Way
3. Jewel-Spirit
4. Jewel-0304
5. Jewel-GAIW
6. Melissa Etheridge-Greatest hits (road less traveled I think)
7. Killers-Hot Fuss
8. Killers-Sam's town

[ShawnShamrock]

It is just to impossible for me to really have to pick only just 7. I own so many and I have such a wide taste in music so i think it be nearly impossible

I know I will just kidnap Jewel and her Guitar and she will be my music

[ItBeThatWay27]

I can't get enough of Ciega, Sordomuda. I was having spasms when I saw Shakira at Madison Square Garden over the summer and she performed it. Yes she is VERY underestimated as an artist, but only here in teh States. Her intelligence isn't noticed at all it's all about the belly dancing and she is MUCH more than that.

Yes, and even here they only see her as a pop star but really she's not just a pop star. Her lyrics are really meaningful and well just the fact that so many people listen to her and don't even know what she's saying means that she has huge talent. (I think I like the spanish albums better than the english) And I also think it's hard to classify her, it's not really pop, not really rock, it is latin but more than that, it's not just dance music.... what is it? Good music.

Oh this is tough. I have a tendency to change my mind about things like this depending on my mood. Can I have 10? I can't think of just 7.

Here goes. Not in any particular order.

1 - Pieces of You - Jewel

7 - Cross of Changes - Enigma
8 - The Screen Behind the Mirror - Enigma
9 - MCMXC A.D - Enigma
10 - My mixed cd of all my favourite songs by various artists.

:P Kiera the point of 7 was so you might have to cut off some of the Jewel albums it you wanted to include more of other artists....oh well, I guess you can slide since you are KIERA

I don't wanna sound like a smartasss but if your stranded on a deserted Island how are you going to listen to these albums with no Radio and no electricty

well there's this thing called a hypothetical question where it doesnt have to be completely realistic..

1. Jewel-POy
2.Jewel- This Way
3. Jewel-Spirit
4. Jewel-0304
5. Jewel-GAIW
6. Melissa Etheridge-Greatest hits (road less traveled I think)
7. Killers-Hot Fuss
8. Killers-Sam's town

HEY you are no KIERA mister, you must delete one of those NOW :angry:

[last_dance_rodeo]

oh I thought it was ten albums haha ooops
umm I would have to cut off Killers hot fuss then

[Little Bird]

LOL. You're such a sweetie, but no need to have different rules for me. How's this then?

1 - Pieces of You - Jewel
2 - GAIW - Jewel
3 - O - Damien Rice
4 - Black Album - Metallica
5 - Cross of Changes - Enigma
6 - The Screen Behind the Mirror - Enigma
7 - My mixed cd of all my favourite songs by various artists

[ShawnShamrock]

Well you all have your 7 cd's but I am going ahead and kidnapping Jewel and her guitar and maybe her band.. To spice things up once and a while. I suppose i must pay her. Does she still wanna sing for a buritto or maybe since were on an island a cocconut.

[ItBeThatWay27]

coconut cream pie

[ShawnShamrock]

Although Cocounut is very gross I hope this island has some better food sources..

[ItBeThatWay27]

jeesh I always have to specify that MIX CD's is CHEATING? I did use the word "album" and a mix cd isn't an album..

[M€RIO]

It is my "own private gods gift to me =)"

[DreamsLast]

Ok, I've really had to think about this. I wasn't even going to post here, but thought I probably should now!! :-) I'm going for 10 though...

These aren't in any particular order:

1. Very Best of Faith Hill: There You'll Be
2. This Way: Jewel
3. GAIW: Jewel
4. Twice The Speed Of Life: Sugarland
5. Fireflies: Faith Hill
6. Real Fine Place: Sara Evans
7. Greatest Hits: U2
8. Cry: Faith Hill
9. Greatest Hits: Martina McBride
10. Garth Brooks: Boxed Set

OK....11.

11.Dizzy Up The Girl: GooGoo Dolls

[007]

HMMMMM.....Only seven, well here goes.

Jewel-Pieces of You
Jewel-GAIW
Lynard Skynard-Pronounced Leh-nerd Skin-nerd (1974) (Free Bird!)
Goo Goo Dolls-Iris (arguably one of the best songs ever writte by an artist other than Jewel, becasue you know Jewel writes only the best, but this song "Iris", takes second place.)
Master and Commander Motion Picture SOundtrack
Jimmy Buffett "Don't know the title, but it's his largest selling album of nothing but beach music, come on, we're on an island.)
Garth Brooks-Sevens (Hey, gotta have "Two Pina Coladas whilst on the island).

That about sums it up for me. However, I do like the Ass' idea of kidnapping Jewel, but I think if I did that, it would be 'coercion into coming to the island', not kidnaping, that's too harsh. She'd hate me and wouldn't play(pun on words).

Jones
"The Lonely Angel"

[wackyoverkhaki]

:) Just 7?!:MECRY[1]:Well ok...

1) Pieces Of You (Jewel):acoustic:
2) 1933-1945 (The Spirits Of Rhythm)
3) Birth Of The Hot (Jelly Roll Morton):jazzman:
4) The Very Best of Fats Waller (Fats Waller)
5) Achtung Baby (U2):dazzler1:
6) Legend (Bob Marley)
7) The Ultimate Otis Redding (Otis Redding)

HMMMMM.....Only seven, well here goes.

Jimmy Buffett "Don't know the title, but it's his largest selling album of nothing but beach music, come on, we're on an island.)
Garth Brooks-Sevens (Hey, gotta have "Two Pina Coladas whilst on the island).

:) Hey...what a coincidence- I've been listening to Jimmy Buffett and Garth's Sevens all winter...since I've got the winter blues. I made a country beach mix that includes a lot of Jimmy Buffett, Garth Brooks and Kenny Chesney's stuff, who also has a bunch of great island songs. My mix also has some songs by other artists like Blake Shelton's "Some Beach Somewhere" . And I just like you also dig Skynard.:yammer:

[007]

Hey, here's a girl who knows her non-Jewel music.

1933-1945 big band jump, never expected to hear that on this forum. Kudos.

Sorry, but the very best of Fats Waller, only the last half of that is the best, I have the same album, never liked the first few songs too much.

Legend, by Bob marley. I just want to write that again, Legend, by Bob Marley. HEre's true Jamaican reggae music with a twist, Marley knew his stuff in and out, and could sing one song to make you cry, and that next song on the album would have you up and dancing.

Otis Redding, come on, who didn't play repeat "Sittin on the Dock of the Bay" a thousand times when they were a teenager! I know I did. Great, Great musician.

Can I also metnion AL Green, a man whoh every song he sings turns from paper notes to golden harmony, even if only for a moment. Al Green, one of the greats. had all of his allbums growing up, but lost them after my fathehr died, could carry them with me, was too concerned about clthes and sentimental goods at the time.

Yes, Skynard is also good. But, if you like Otis Redding, you should check out Percy Sledge. Ole Percy would sing a song that would melt your heart. Percy was the king of '60's soul, soul dripped off of him.

If you like Otis Redding, don't leave the record store until you get a cheap Percy SLedge album, they aren't much, starting around six bucks, but well worth it. I always say to people who like either soul or oldies or whatever it is, if they've never heard Percy Sledge, they can even talk to me about true soul music.

You're cool...I was surprised that anyone would share my taste in music let alone know any of those people were. Yeah, I like Percy Sledge. But Spirits of Rhythm aren't big-band, they're jazz though. They're a combo of jazz, country, blues and folk- they're TOPS and there's no one else like them...IMO.

[Veilingmeat]

Crikey....one has to answer this! above all music is my life.....well apart from women haha

1) In The Woods - Heart Of The Ages (http://www.zenial.nl/txt/heartofa.htm) one VERY inspiring peice of artwork to me, in many aspects of diversity
2) Opeth - Still Life (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Still_Life_(Opeth_album))
3) Enslaved - Frost (http://www.myspace.com/enslavedmusic) ultimate homage to the Nordland
4) Aura Noir - Black Thrash Attack (http://www.myspace.com/auranoir) (has to be the ultimate metallers album)
5) Jewel - Peices Of You all familiar with this one eh...and no i did'nt just throw that one in
6) Black Sabbath - Paranoid (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paranoid_%28album%29)
7) Iron Maiden - Number Of The Beast should need no introduction to any a like minded rock/metal fan :tongue:

Gary....you should have made it top 10 you can never have enough fav albums, i could have mentioned Led Zepplin, The Sisters Of Mercy, maybe even The Doors or The Cure ahhh well whats done is done hah

[Little Bird]

If you could have 3 more...what would they be? As a fellow metal lover...I'm intrigued.

[ItBeThatWay27]

ok since this topic is going into metal, I am curious have you ever listened to Blind Guardian? I am just now starting to get into metal and I am really loving Blind Guardian right now, even though I guess "power metal" is supposed to be "not real metal" or something according to some people.

And Marc I borrowed this Opeth cd called "Morningrise" from my friend and I really like it, I love how they go from one extreme to the other. You know like heavy heavy straight into acoustic, it's awesome.

[Eibhlin]

Oh well, it's time to update my 7 I suppose, this going strictly on what I have been listening to the last few months

1. Jewel-Spirit
2. John Mayer Trio-Try
3. Rustic Overtones-Viva Nueve
4. Dave Matthews Band-Crash
5. Say Zuzu-Live
6. Godsmack-Awake
7. Jethro Tull-Songs From the Woods

[Veilingmeat]

If you could have 3 more...what would they be? As a fellow metal lover...I'm intrigued.

Well to answer your question Kiera, i'd just have to chuck in Led Zeppelin II its got some great classics on there like Moby Dick & Ramble On many rate IV as there finest...but i beg to differ, its only because it has Stairway To Heaven on it :acoustic:
Also Megadeth - Rust In Peace technically a thrash masterpeice with impeccable guitar skill and genius!!!
...finaly and last but not least i'd put it all to rest as Jimi Hendrix - Are You Experienced could not get by in life without that album...I always say, that when the sun shines Jimi is playing his guitar!

And Marc I borrowed this Opeth cd called "Morningrise" from my friend and I really like it, I love how they go from one extreme to the other. You know like heavy heavy straight into acoustic, it's awesome.
ooooh Gary you the main mang! Opeth - Morningrise is an excellent album, and your right, the diverse complexity of there music is unlike no other, Progessive rock/metal at its finest....if you like that one...you SHOULD giz yer hands on there follow up 'My Arms Your Hearse' that is my 2nd fav one of theres after 'Still Life'.
Blind Guardian tho, not my cup of tea really...never been into power metal as such, although i hear there 'Nightfall Over Middle Earth' is one to buy as a fan ;) my Chums listen to bands like them, such as 'Rhapsody', 'Stratovarius'....and a good friend of mine Gian Pyras ex Cradle Of Filth has recently joined the band called 'Dragonlord' touring purposes only tho, check em all out to your hearts content my good man by all means, you may just like one of them.

[ItBeThatWay27]

I will definately check into some of these. My friend is a definate metal-head so I know he will know exactly about all of those you just mentioned. He may even have the other Opeth albums, I will see.
Yeah I didn't think you'd be too much into the power metal stuff but I figured I'd ask. I am just really loving the 'Twist in the Myth' album from Blind Guardian.

[last_dance_rodeo]

I don't listen to metal but I can still be your friend right marc?

[Veilingmeat]

I don't listen to metal but I can still be your friend right marc?

[Eibhlin]

you know, I could actually sing along with Informer at one point, back when I had that album, I am ashamed to admit to that! But it's like, dude, if youare singing so fast no one can understand you then what's the point?

[ItBeThatWay27]

ha haha it's artistic integrity... dude

[Eibhlin]

oh, OH, don't you DUUUUDE ME!

And you thought chinese water torture was bad!

[ItBeThatWay27]

comment comment comment comment! post post post post!

[Veilingmeat]

Yes indeed...Meanwhile back at the ranch (back on topic) :p hehe
How in the life of me could i ever forget Type O Negative - Bloody Kisses the album itself is Gothic rock in its finest form...and the track 'Bloody Kisses' has the very essence of gothic SEXual darkness you could ever need for a vampiric ode...if yer ever out on a friday or saturday night and yer get off with this hot draculina goth goddess beeeauty, and you want to get frisky with her, play 'Bloody Kisses' and she'll out of her kit and eeeer :censored: ....well just imagine lol :tongue: and Virgin Black - Elegant... and Dying...' A dark opera, a classical doom touched epic masterpiece, gorgeous composition from the innovative gods!
You'de like this one Gary, especialy if you liked Opeth - Morningrise surely you would!?
Trouble is with all this, is that a top 7 is never enough, then a top 10 aint either...not even a top 20 would be!!!! Maybe i should create a 'Favourable Album Of The Week' thread :dunno:

[Eibhlin]

[ItBeThatWay27]

ha ha andrea

marc- I have only heard a few type o negative songs but I like them. I'll have to write all this down so I can check them out one day. I'm bad about remembering stuff

[Veilingmeat]

I'm bad about remembering stuff

Well then, remind me to remind you :tongue: haha!
..but yeah forgive my constant ranting on about metal jibber, i'm always trying to corrupt those unlikely few unto the left hand path and the darkside! dont say i'm not trying tho eh!
Mwahahaaa once Gary has reached his peak in the dark world of metal mayhem...i'll then bestow the black hordes from the Nordland upon his weary mind...in other words Black Metal

:devil1:

[ItBeThatWay27]

Marc have you ever heard of this band called Goatwhore? This is one of my friend's favorite bands. He just went to a show the other day. I don't know how well known they are so I don't know if you might have heard of them or not.

[Veilingmeat]

Actualy Gary...i surprise myself in liking them rather alot, as i'v never heard of them before ever...until now! "Cheers"
I think what it is, is that i 'phased' out of the American Black/Death metal scene many years ago...and just never kept in touch, but thanks to myspace...which has really opened my eyes or more like ears to the US metal scene, and swathed me in a new form of inner Darkness.
Ask him if he likes the Norse band called 'Forgotten Woods' ...the frontman 'Ravn' is now part of '1349' he should have heard of em :tongue:
