Batman Posted November 5, 2005 Report Posted November 5, 2005 I don't like talking about essential albums for all music, because to make an accurate list, you need to include albums everyone owns, or you would be insinuating there are not a lot of true music fans out there. It's easier to do essential albums for specific genres. Essential prog albums: King Crimson - In The Court of the Crimson King Yes - Tales From Topographic Oceans Yes - Close to the Edge Yes - Fragile King Crimson - In The Wake of the Poisedon (in my opinion) Gentle Giant - In a Glass House ELP - Tarkus ELP - Brain Salad Surgery Rush - 2112 Genesis - Selling England By The Pound

invisible_r Posted November 5, 2005 Report Posted November 5, 2005 Kevin, I personally think "definitely maybe" is oasis's masterpiece I find this question very difficult to answer, I don't have that many of the ones already mentioned because they are not my thing, and the ones i consider essential are not popular with people here. ok here's a few (not necessarily my faves though): "ok computer"-radiohead, "disintegration"-the cure, "the doors"-the doors, "dark side of the moon"-pink floyd, "nevermind"-nirvana,

johnnyguitar Posted November 5, 2005 Report Posted November 5, 2005 Well, it's a little known fact that there are only two albums that absolutely everyone on earth should own...Montrose 'Montrose' and Pink Moon by Nick Drake.... Everything else is an 'also ran'. IMHO
johnnyguitar Posted November 5, 2005 Report Posted November 5, 2005 Oh, and if you're feeling flush and have a few spare quid....Double A, by the Movies, would complete your collection and you wouldn't need to own a single other piece of music, except maybe.....
Kevin Posted November 5, 2005 Report Posted November 5, 2005 Which albums do you have to have to have? Which albums are absolutely necessary for any collection to be complete? Why not give up listening to music altogether and take up golf instead ... less grief and worry .
