Both my favourite album and song of all time right there.

First album (tape) I ever bought.

Metallica seriously needs to re-record and re-release a lot of their early work. The songs are great but the sound and the mixing leaves a lot to be desired.

I tried but it ended up a bit of mess and im not happy with it.

Also how could you pick Neon Ballroom over Frogstomp?

haha, Its the best I could do....

Yes Frogstomp is better, I can see that.

Anyone dig up an old album they have not listened to in years because of this thread?

Yep I have Floodland by The Sisters Of Mercy...anyone ?

Songs like Mother Russia, Lucretia My Reflection, Dominion, Flood parts 1-2, 1959.

I like it so while out a few weeks ago I went searching for it. The music store had to order it in for me.

I did update my itunes to include a few of the mentions albums.

Yeh me too, downloaded a couple of others that people mentioned as well.

Looking forward to checking them out

Without listing 10 here's a few off the top of my head that have nearly worn out player needles and laser heads.
Angels self titled debut album
Cold chisel's east
Men at work live in brazil
Talking heads once in a lifetime
Queen greatest hits 1 and 2 (so many great albums otherwise)
Oasis whats the story morning glory
Powderfinger odyssey no.5
Matchbox 20 yourself or someone like you

I'd hate to total up the sales on those few alone.

I'll Name an Aussie list

Chocolate Starfish - Self titled
De Mont - Body Language
Roxus - Nightstreet
Jimmy Barnes - Freight train heart
Midnight Oil - Diesel and Dust
Candy Harlots - Five Wicked Ways
The Poor - Who Cares
Airbourne - Runnin Wild
Syndicate - Self titled ( Brilliant album )
Screaming Jets - All for one

Chisel and Angels , I like their greatest hits albums

That matchbox 20 album is great, that's going on the list

I'm not a rob thomas fanboi but gee he has a knack of dropping a big selling single and the variation from the early matchbox 20 to that sugar song is near unrecognisable

Yeh one of my kids is a massive rob Thomas fan, I hear a lot of it, could be worse though, I quite like it.

I had a mental blank on diesel and dust, thanks rra.

I'll just add i love the aussie stuff especially the liberation blue branded acoustic albums like jon stevens the works, ian moss six strings, the church el momento descuidado and a handful of songs by mick thomas on anythings sure things other things.

Diesel and Dust and Freight train heart were around the same time , well when I bought them. I had just started casual work and could buy myself tapes. I didn't know much about the bands at the time.

When I listen to them I still think of the hot summer days back then

Some quality on that list RRA, don't really rate screaming jets, riff stealers....

Shadow Boxer wrote:Some quality on that list RRA, don't really rate screaming jets, riff stealers....

Must admit its the only album I like of theirs

I never had a choice with the jets sb, hitting legal drinking age in Newcastle at their peak and working with one of their guitarists means I've probably seen them live 2 dozen times hahaha

Much like rra i probably got those major influences of the auusie icon bands from being forced to save up to buy a tape at brashs but getting 1 maybe 2 a year in my teens meant i bought value with best of's more than albums

Gleeso and Izzy doing a live acoustic of roar for triple m is fairly cool for those who like the jets.

Yeh fair point, they definitely go hard

I imposed rules too. Each artist could only feature once, no compilation albums or soundtracks, and no greatest hits albums.

The only rule I went by is an album that I could put in and listen from start to finish and enjoy every song. There were plenty of songs that I could list but there are duds on the albums so they are not my favorite album.

Likewise. If I was to list my top 10 songs (top 50, top 100), very few of them would actually have come from my top 10 albums.

Teenage Fanclub- "Grand Prix"
Big Star - "#1 Record/Radio City"
The Posies - "Frosting on the Beater"
Sloan - "One Chord to Another"

Wings - "Venus and Mars"
Bon Iver - "Bon Iver"
Drive-by Truckers - "Brighter than Creation's Dark"
Erik Voeks - "Sandbox"
The Smiths - "The Queen is Dead"
The La's - "The La's"
The Lowest of the Low - "Shakespeare My Butt"
Neil Young - "Harvest"
"The War On Drugs - "Lost in the Dream"

Geez Hrundi, I just finished loading all these albums into Utorrent so I can get them tonight and you go and post some new ones.

That Bon iver album is popular, I've never heard of it, looking forward to it.

Boredom must have set in - I bought that when it came out. You can get the full ouvre in a 5 cd box cd set. Warrell Dane (ex - Nevermore) does a much better version of Lucretia, with real drums and guitars, on Praises To The War Machine. Unlike Andrew Eldritch he can sing more than two notes too. And actually I prefer the Sisterhood album Gift, which isn't in the box set. Has great drum programming.

I wish that all those old vinyl 12" singles were actually worth something. Maybe the bootlegs are.

One of the greatest "test" albums. If you play this to someone and they don't like it, never pay them attention again.
