My right hand is lightning and my left is thunder.
My eyes are flame.
My heart is ashes.
Look upon me and tremble.

Blue Lines - Massive Attack
Grace - Jeff Buckley
Absolution - Muse
Statues - Moloko
Dummy - Portishead
I think it's more important to have five albums that will be able to compliment most moods than to pick the five best albums ever.

Muse is really good, They just haven't had time to make it onto my desert island list yet. I have to know that I absolutely cannot get sick of a particular album for more than a month or so before I can really say if I like them.Nav wrote:Absolution - Muse

Absolution is perhaps a brave choice, but I wanted to have a Muse album and it's more balanced than their first too efforts which were, respectively, too quiet and too rocky.
Absolution has a very good range, with songs like Sing for Absolution contrasting nicely with more riotous efforts like Stockholm Syndrome.

Wow! I thought I was the only guy who appreciated Steven Earle! Nice choice.A Gun wrote:5) Steve Earle: Copperhead Road
If you like Earle I would highly recommend Grant Lee Buffalo's Mighty Joe Moon and Fuzzy. Take a listen and let me know what you think AG.
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. John Stuart Mill

I too was surprised to see "Copperhead Road". I haven't heard it in at least a decade, but it was a helluva album.
