[QUOTE="payn, post: 8595600, member: 90374"] So, Ill give you my thoughts Snarf style; [LIST=1] [*]Tom Waits-Rain Dogs; No best of list is complete without a Tom Waits selection. [I]Rain Dogs[/I] is the ultimate Waits alabum becasue its the only one that has his jazz, vaudville, country, rock, spanish influence all in one place. It's liek agreatest hits album while being a kick ass album in its own right. [*]George Harrison-All Things Must Pass; What happens when your two best friends are a couple of dicks and dont let you contribute your share of the music? You compile a list of kick ass songs about love, life, loss, sadness, and just general interreflection. No solo Beatle would top it. [*]Led zeppelin II; What can I say? Zep was something totally special and this happens to be my favorite of a big list of options. Picking one is almost as hard as picking 10 of all time! [*]Beastie Boys-Paul's Boutique; Beasties could have continued down the path of joksters with another license to ill, but they didnt. They proved to everyone that they have every right to be considered true hip hop artists. This is a master class in sampling something that likely will never be done again unless they start shelling out 25 mill for rights to make albums. [*]Pharcyde-Bizarre Ride II; 90's hip hop had a revolution in Jazz influence. The beats were great, the lyrics were fun, edgy, emo, and all things nice. Its true you had a pack of contenders in De La Soul, Tribe, Diggable Planets, but nobody put together quite a fly album on the level of Pharcyde cementing a place on the best of all time list. [*]Wilco-Yankee Hotel Foxtrot; So, what is an Alt-Country rock band to do when their label drops them due to a "radio unfriendly" album? They say f it and find somebody to put it out because history just has to be made. This just redefined what the alt-country indie whatever you want to call it sound of the aughts was going to be. [*]Buena Vista Social Club; Jazz is incredible, but its hard to really put a single album up as best of all time. These Cuban all stars are the best kept secret of the Jazz world.
