Gut reaction top 10


Recommended Posts

What ten albums are the ones you think of when you think of the top 10 albums of all time? Don't intellectualize this list. Just write the first ten albums you think of and keep them in that order. No edits, no changies, no nothing. Go.

 

Abbey Road (Beatles)

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot (Wilco)

London Calling (Clash)

Ramones (Ramones)

Highway 61 Revisited (Bob Dylan)

Pinkerton (Weezer)

Dookie (Green Day)

White Album (Beatles)

Who's Next (The Who)

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots (Flaming Lips)

 

 

Of course, it will change in the next 10 minutes, but those were the first ten I thought of, and thats how this list will work.

Looking at all these lists, I realize how many I missed. THats why this is so cool, I think. Instead of sitting down and thinking about it for a long time, definitively deciding on a list and then writing it, you just go and if you forget something, oh well.

There you go. So dashed-off that you poor bastards don't even get the names of the artists responsible for these albums.

 

And I already feel guilty about having omitted The Band and The Stones.
