gotcha again! lol!!!
this time - you have the MP3 player - or the iPod - you pick...
1) A day in the life of... Beetles at their best.
2) Swan Lake... Tchaikovsky teaches us how the spirit can soar.
3) Candle in the wind - EJ - Perhaps the most underrated of modern composers... the music seems to fit most of our times.
4) Tocatta and Fugue in D Minor... Bach - Music that always has something different - every time you hear it...
5) Dueling Banjos.... ok there is no reason! But hey - its fun music to all - except Ned Beatty.
6) Les Mis... the whole thing - there is no excuse for anyone not likeing this - again - the spririt soars... and humanity triumphs.
7) any ditty by Tommy Roe - Bend me, shape me or Dizzy and others.... Happiness defined.
8) Fanfare for the Common Man - Copland - nothing to say.
9) Symphony #9 - an ode to joy... and it is.
10) Animaniacs - all the words in the english language... I laugh every time I listen - not just a little ha ha - but a side splitting belly mover!
for the next 10 - I'll leave that to some others.
Hard to pic out my ten faves, but I would consider these:
1. Wharf Rat - yes, I still listen to the Dead
2. Candle in the Wind - the version with the Syndey(?) Symphony Orchestra
3. I Will Always Love You -Whitney Houston chick song, but I love it.
4. Life During Wartime - 25 years later, the song is still relevant.
5. The Magnificent Seven - Gotta love The Clash
6. Let it Rain - great riffs
7. Sympathy for the Devil - more great riffs
8. Accidentally Like a Martyr - Warren Zevon - "the hurt gets worse, and the heart gets harder".
9. Whipping Post - all 18 minutes from the Allman Bros. Fillmore East album.
10. From Now On - Supertramp - Great sax!

10 greatest in no particular order...complete albums for everymood...
1-Abbey Road-Beatles
2-Born to Run- Springsteen
3-Kinda Blue Miles Davis
4- The Brandenburg Concertos(all)-JS Bach

7-Zoso- Led Zep
8-Sticky Fingers- Stones
9-Dark Side of the Moon- Pink Floyd
10-Who's Next-The Who
This is by no means complete but I had to pick 10
In stead of Abbey Road I'd go with Rubber Soul, but all those are great albums.
I might add Electric LadyLand by Jimi Hendrix and
Desperado by the Eagles.
and its my favorite but the flow of Abbey Road and the emotional journey is what grabs me...There are too many to list...the exercize is futile
Iron Butterfly - Inna Gadda Da Vida, although I'd love to have it for a ring tone. I wonder if I let it ring for 8 minutes, would it go into a drum solo? LOL
Brian Eno's: Taking Tiger Mountain (by strategy)
Based on the subject line I thought you were going to suggest a Buffalo Springfield albumn.
Led Zeppelin I
Led Zeppelin IV
Pink Floyd - The Wall
AC/DC - Highway to Hell
Rush - Moving Pictures
The Police - Synchronicity
Van Halen - 1984
Yes - 90125
Tom Petty - Full Moon Fever
Guns N' Roses - Appetite for Destruction
I was wondering when someone would notice all these were 70's records. You were probably still shitting yellow when these came out. LOL

Layla is one of the greatest love songs ever...wtf is up with that Patti Boyd....she has inspired that and "Something"... she must have some mad skills
No kidding. She may go down in history with Cleopatra and ..... I'm at a loss to think of other women who have mesmerized men who otherwise had everything they wanted. She must have been something!
