On our many summer roadtrips, Lancer and I would chat about our favorite all-time albums. We overlapped a few times, and were on opposite ends of the musical spectrum at other times. In general, we like the same music, though I like more crappy pop songs, and he likes techno a tad more than me.
If I had to name my top 10 favorite albums of all time, I gander they would be the following:
1. Depeche Mode--Violator
2. NIN-Pretty Hate Machine
3. Red Hot Chili Peppers--Blood, Sugar, Sex, Magic
4. Paul Oakenfold-Bunkka
5. Beastie Boys--Licensed to Ill...everyone says "Paul's Boutique' to be cool...but LTI is likely their real fave
6. Michael Jackson--Thriller
7. Sugar Ray--Floored
8. Joshua Tree--U2
9. Prince--Purple Rain
10. Green Day--American Idiot
What, pray tell, are some of your favorite albums? You know, the 10 albums you could and would listen to over and over on a stranded island?

I'm with you on MJ and U2 (so cliche, right?) My top two would be Elton John and Billy Joel. Then I go country, so we should probably stop there. Maybe I went too far already.
Um...Sugar Ray is on my list. Feel free to list your lame albums, country included.

As I am a huge fan of movie soundtracks and greatest hit compilations it was hard to pick out my favorite albums and not just my favorite songs so this was tough. I can't put these in specific order but my Top 10 are as follows:
Crowded House / Crowded House
U2 / Rattle and Hum
U2 / Achtung Baby
Violent Femmes / Violent Femmes
Billy Joel / An Innocent Man
Prince / Around The World in a Day
Prince / Purple Rain
Shaking Family / Dreaming in Detail
Madonna / Ray of Light
And I know.....shoot me now...New Kids on the Block / Hangin' Tough
At least there wasn't one Britney Spears album on here! :-)
I love and still love Depeche Mode, U2 and Sugar Ray! I am now stuck listening to all of the disney channel hits like Jonas Brothers etc.
