Got tagged in a Facebook meme asking me to quickly assemble a list of fifteen albums that will always stick with me. I’m not much in the meme forwarding/tagging business, but I like the list I came up with. Some easy choices, sure; and naturally some dearly beloved choices didn’t make the cut. I ought to snap a rubber band on my wrist or something for not fitting a Frank Zappa album in there, but I think he might approve of the one that basically took his position.
Kind of Blue – Miles Davis
Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs – Derek and the Dominos
Abbey Road – The Beatles
Automatic for the People – R.E.M.
Small Change – Tom Waits
Flood – They Might Be Giants
Secret World Live – Peter Gabriel
Pet Sounds – The Beach Boys
Highway 61 Revisited – Bob Dylan
Out of Our Heads – The Rolling Stones
Illinois – Sujfan Stevens
Stop Making Sense – Talking Heads
