I'll throw a couple out there:

80's:
Dire Straits: Brothers in Arms

90's:
Live: Throwing Copper

Well, as they say, you took the words right out of my mouth on that one. What I love about Goodbye is how is so perfectly describes the writing process - "Just turn back the page and I waste away." That's so incredibly haunting and beautiful and Elton did the music so simply so as to highlight the basic simplicity. Bernie just amazes me constantly as does their relationship (I can't imagine looking at someone else's thoughts and words and instantly knowing what music needs to go with it as Elton seems to).

And I love the movie Immortal Beloved (Gary Oldman is my favorite actor) - not sure about the accuracy of the ending but it's a great story and probably the main reason I love the Ode to Joy. The pictures they put with the music there was simply perfect.

60's: Beatles "White Album" and Beach Boys "Pet Sounds" (anything by Marvin Gaye)

80's: Guns n Roses "Appetite for Destruction" and Bruce Springsteen "Born in the USA"
90's: Pearl Jam "Ten" and U2 "Achtung Baby"
00's: U2 "How to Build an Atomic Bomb"

Of the above, Achtung Baby is my favorite.

Simply brilliant.

Okay, I'm going to break my own rule here and pray forgiveness from the masses (well, you all anyway) and add The Great 28 by Chuck Berry to the list. Yes, it's a greatest hits compilation but my argument is that singles were more prevalent at that time than albums and how many people can *you* name who have 28 great songs in that short a time period???

Yep, I was a very sad a couple of weeks ago to read that Johnny "Johnny B. Goode" Johnson had died. Very bad day for music.....

However, someone asked about newer albums as well - here are my contributions (and many thanks to whoever mentioned 10 by Pearl Jam amd Throwing Copper by Live too - good calls):

Audioslave: Audioslave. Apparently, they prefer the term "super duper group" to merely super group. And I'm okay with that...

Mr. Happy Go Lucky: John Mellencamp. I know this is a good album because it started me as a big fan of his and this generally isn't my type of music. I mean, really, he's so, so... heartland for pete sake.

Yes I Am: Melissa Etheridge. Are you gonna argue with this woman? I didn't think so. Nothing says angst-ridden obsessive love than a little Etheridge.

Others I can't believe I forgot earlier but now that I'm home looking at my actual CD collection have gratefully remembered...

There Goes Rhymin' Simon: Paul Simon
Tapestry: Carol King
Very: The Pet Shop Boys. Yeah, I know. Trust me on this one.
Chocolate City: Parliament
At Last: Etta James. Again, are you gonna argue with this woman? Because I'm pretty sure she will mess you up if you try.
Common People: Pulp. If you haven't heard of these guys, they're a great little English band. Think of them as David Bowie meets Depeche Mode. Only with more sex (their followup to this album was called This is Hardcore, if that tells you anything.)
Permission to Land: The Darkness. Just in case I needed a little diversity here. A new one but there isn't a song on there I don't like and, well, Queen couldn't have done it better themselves...

I've always been more of a singles fan myself, but here's a smattering of albums that get constant replay in my house:

Classic through the '80s:
Pink Floyd, The Wall (except for that third side)
Dire Straits, Brothers in Arms and Love Over Gold (I love "Telegraph Road")
Jethro Tull, Greatest Hits (the first one, not the second so much)
Led Zeppelin IV

(I have an embarassingly large collection of Styx and ELO records, but we shall not go into that here....)

Up through mid-'90s
Guns N Roses, Appetite for Destruction and Use Your Illusion I & II
Nirvana, Nevermind and their MTV acoustic set
Cracker, Kerosene Hat
Offspring, Smash
Pogues, If I Should Fall from Grace with God (though for my money, their best album title was "Rum, Sodomy and the Lash")
Morphine, Yes
Pearl Jam, 10
Soundgarden, Black Hole Sun

Current
Third Eye Blind, self-titled
Santana, Supernatural
Natalie Merchant, Tiger Lily

This is very hard for me. I finally decided to pretend that I'm stranded on a deserted island with a ton of batteries and only 5 CDs.

1. Bach - anything as long as it has Toccata and Fugue.
2. Glenn Miller - Greatest hits - I know someone said no greatest hits but I'm stranded on an island!
3. Kenny Loggins - Greatest hits - sorry, but I must.
4. Emerson Lake and Palmer - self-titled.
5. Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti, I was gonna pick ZOSO aka IV, but I have that so memorized I figure I can "listen" to it anytime anyway - as much as I love "Black Dog"... Kashmir just moves me.

It was tough to limit my choices to 5, but I did it... for now. Oh no. I left out "Crazy on you" by Heart. And no Alan Parsons, Boston, Journey, Styx, Jethro Tull, Pink Floyd. I must quit. It's too painful.

I don't know anyone in "real life" that's even heard of Telegraph Road. What a great track! Without a doubt one of my favorites from one of my favorite bands. I especially like the live version on Alchemy.

any1 any i dead on : the movie "alive" - what is the end song of that movie called. it goes (spelling bad) something like "ma sey maria" (sang by woman)
