A while back, someone posted a comment asking Bill for his Top 10 All Time Albums. It took him a while, but Bill zero'd in and recently wrote (Thanks, Bill!):
------------------------------------------------------------------
OK,it's gotten silly, at some point you just have to stop and claim. So, for the time being, knowing that at least 6 of these will stand for all time with me, here is the list I'd take with me today.
EXILE ON MAINSTREET ROLLING STONES
STICKY FINGERS ROLLING STONES
RUBBER SOUL BEATLES
BLOOD ON THE TRACKS BOB DYLAN
LAYLA & OTHER LOVE SONGS DEREK & THE DOMINOES
BLUE JONI MITCHELL
HOTEL CALIFORNIA EAGLES
AFTER THE GOLDRUSH SHAKEY YOUNG
KIND OF BLUE MILES DAVIS
STEP INSIDE THIS HOUSE LYLE LOVETT
I can live with it. Have a great day!
A few days later, Bill added:
ReplyDeleteNow that I have sent my LIST of TEN, the ghosts of at least 20 other albums are cursing me in my sleep!
I myself find it presumptuous that I would follow Bill's list with one of my own, given my respect for him. After working on mine for awhile I recognize the futility of the exercise and will join Bill in second-guessing myself until something else plagues me. In no particular order:
ReplyDeleteKiko, Los Lobos
Highway 61 Revisited, Bob Dylan
Who's Next, The Who
American Beauty, Grateful Dead
Astral Weeks, Van Morrison
Elite Hotel, Emmylou Harris
Blind Faith, Blind Faith
The Way I Am, Merle Haggard
Exile on Mainstreet, Rolling Stones
Abbey Road, The Beatles
