5 Albums You Would Take To Your Grave

[Laddy]

I'm going to seem pretty unoriginial for the most part.

Rumours-Fleetwood Mac
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band-The Beatles
Frances the Mute-Mars Volta
Fantasies-Metric
The Wall-Pink Floyd

What's yours?

Never really thought about this, I don't think I can think 5 albums, but the below are as a whole album are definately worth it (ie, listen start to finish, without needing to skip a single track).

Ultimate Victory - Chamillionaire
Ridin' Dirty - UGK
Forgiven, Not Forgotten - The Corrs
Secret of Mana OST - Hiroki Kikuta

[escobert]

ILLmatic - Nas
STILLmatic - Nas
A.W.O.L. - AZ
Spell My Name Right - Statik Selektah
1st Infantry - The Alchemist

[Seraphic]

That's really hard to think of since I go through my phases of music and what I like today,might not be as important 10 years from now,but the one I know will forever be important is my Silent Hill 3 OST.

[Pheesh]

This is ridiculously hard...

Tool :: Lateralus
A Perfect Circle :: Mer De Noms
Karnivool :: Themata
Soundgarden :: Superunknown
Blind Melon :: Blind Melon

[Wolf Kanno]

Not as hard as I thought simply cause when my car still had a five disc changer in it, I ended up creating reserve spots for CDs I refused to remove from my car.

Daft Punk ~ Discovery
Gorillaz ~ Demon Days
Yoko Kanno ~ Macross Plus OST Vol. 2
Panime Best of the Best
Mitsuda and Uematsu ~ Chrono Trigger Original Soundtrack

That would probably do it for me though if I could add another five...
Gorillaz ~ Plastic Beach
Yoko Kanno ~ Cowboy Bebop: Blue
No Doubt ~ Tragic Kingdom
Billy Joel ~ Greatest Hits Vol 1/2 (Its sold as a single album)
David Bowie ~ The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust

[Bunny]

Ayreon's The Final Experiment
Pain of Salvation's Road Salt One
Trans-Siberian Orchestra's Beethoven's Last Night
Lake of Tear's Moons and Mushrooms
Butterfly Effect's Final Conversation

[Pete for President]

the Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd
Funeral - Arcade Fire
Neon Bible - Arcade Fire
Perfecting Loneliness - Jets to Brazil
Something to Crow About - Riverboat Gamblers

[Rantz]

Bob Dylan - Biograph
The Shins - Oh, Inverted World
Leonard Cohen - Greatest Hits (yeah a greatest hits album, whatcha gonna do about it)
Tom Waits - Beautiful Maladies: The Island Years
Neil Young - After the Gold Rush

Might replace the last one with something else... Explosions in the Sky or something, I dunno.

edit: Actually, why would I want to take music albums to my grave? I feel like there's a more philosophical discussion that we're missing out on here.

[Shiny]

This list would change constantly, but right now it's this:


Tchaikovsky stuffs

Domesticated

The Emancipation of Mimi

Final Fantasy X OST

Final Fantasy IX Sort of Piano Collections

[NeoCracker]

Cowboy Bebop Soundtrack - Ultimate collection (You know, the one with every Bebop song ever. Not sure if that was the name exactly though)

Kamelot - Ghost Opera
Essential Billy Joel
Franz Ferdinand - Self Titled
Gorillaz - Demon Days.

...Me and Kanno think a lot alike

[Wolf Kanno]

Cowboy Bebop Soundtrack - Ultimate collection (You know, the one with every Bebop song ever. Not sure if that was the name exactly though)

You mean this one...

Demon Days was a hard omission. :I

[Mirage]

I'm not entirely sure what I'd be using 5 albums for in my grave. I was sort of under the impression that you're usually dead down there.

not sure which albums I'd want to keep when my time comes, cause i'm pretty sure I won't listen to this stuff when I'm 70 years old. If I died tomorrow though, I'd probably want to bring something like this:

Jean-michell Jarre - Oxygene
Röyksopp - Melody A.M.
Helios - Unomia
65daysofstatic - One Time For All Time
Pendulum - Hold your colour

[Chris]

It's annoying how difficult this is, but these are some of the most important albums to me:

Della Reese - Melancholy Baby (1957)

Enya - Watermark (1987)

Sinéad O'Connor - Sean Nos Nua (2002)

Elaine Stritch - At Liberty (2002)

LaToya Jackson - LaToya Jackson (1980)
