1. - Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd
I could listen to Dark Side over and over again, but seeing it live was a highlight of my life. So much of many of my music interests have been influenced by B-rad, but Pink Floyd we fell into together....starting with The Wall, psynching it up with The Wizard of Oz like any good little
2. - Post - Bjork
Once, while living in Calgary, some friends of mine made me a mixed CD, she was big into Bjork so there were two singles on the disc. While the entire mix was fabulous, those 2 ended up being my faves so i started downloading more singles, and eventually just went out and bought up all her albums. It's hard to pick one that i like more, so i had to think back to which one i'd tend to pop in the car stereo the most often. it's a good album. Check out "Hyper Ballad" or "Army of Me"
3. - OK Computer - Radiohead
Radiohead rocks, this album rocks.... there's not much more to say... it fucking rocks. See "Karma Police" or "Paranoid Android"
4. - Aenima - Tool
if you know me or B-rad, you'll know we're big Tool Fans. This album is probably the best, every single song is a winner. EVERY ONE. plus it features my favourite comedian Bill Hicks. "I think drugs have done some good things for us, I really do. If you don't think drugs have done good things for us, then take all of your records, tapes and CD's and burn 'em." Okay, just listen to the whole thing...it's metal, but it's good.
5. - Mer De Noms - A Perfect Circle
This is actually the album that led me to being a TOOL fan, mainly - Maynard proved to me that he could sing. He just always to sing so passionately. Check out "Three Libras" or "Thinking of You". Gooooood times.
6. - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - The Beatles
Another album that is great from start to finish. I mean, c'mon, it's the Beatles. "A Day in The Life" is soooo good, and "When I'm 64" is the cutest of love songs out there.
7. - The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars - David Bowie
We fell into love with David Bowie by accident. But once we bought this album (On Vinyl...thankyouverymuch) it's a standard in my house. "Soul Love" and "Rock and Roll Suicide" are my faves, but the whole thing is gold... crazy weird David Bowie.
8. - Travelling Without Moving - Jamiroquai
I had an 'experience' listening to this album - and my concequence of the substances in my body - i danced and danced and danced through this album in its entirety....three times. But is soo freakin groove-tastic. it makes you want to dance. "Virtual Insanity" or "Didjital Vibrations" if you're feeling
9. - The Definitive Collection - Stevie Wonder
Stevie WONDER!! need i say more?? i didn't think so
10. - Mack the Knife: The Complete Ella in Berlin - Ella Fitzgerald
This is such a great album, it's the live recording of the concert Ella did in Berlin in the early 50s, just years after the Second World War... She does an amazing job... and she's just so cute. She is so freakin cute when she thanks the audience, and she tries to sing Mack the Knife and forgets some or the words but covers her ass nicely. So, check out "Mack the Knife" or "Lorelai"
11. - The Phantom of the Opera (Highlights from the 1989 Original Canadian Cast) - Cast Recording
This is the album that made me go into Music and take opera training. I just wanted to sound like Christine so badly. Check out "Music of the Night" i know, its the Phantom Stereotypical song, but i only just realized how fabulous it is in the last couple of years. when i was 12 i used to skip right past it. That and "The Point of No Return". I just love the album. it makes me cry, and to this day no other cast will compare in my mind to the original Canadian Cast.
12. - FutureSex/Lovesound - Justin Timberlake
Oh god, he's so sexy. He can do it all, he's a modern day triple threat. and almost every song on this album makes me dance. It's the only time i ever Crank up the Radio - when it's J.T. singing and being sexy. mmmmmmm....... i need a cigarette.... LOL. "Love Stoned" or "Summer Love".
13. - This Business of Art - Tegan and Sara
This is one album that i can play anytime of the day anywhere any amount. It's good, and they're super cute, and Canadian, and i'm going to see them next month. "My Number", "Freedom", "Not With You." all gold.

11 people love me:
What a great list! I love Phantom of the Opera too.
Happy TT :)
I played the shit out of that Phantom album when I was about 12. I always wanted to sing Carlotta's part though.
Ack, I only actually own 1 of the albums mentioned - shame on me!
Oh, and you'd be a great addition for my TT13 this week, it's an interactive one all about music!
I absolutely adore Phantom! My favorite was always Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again. I just love that one!
Great List! I love Dark Side of the Moon and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band too. Pink Floyd and The Beatles, classic! :-)
100% agreement on this list. I LOVE the Ella album.
I am not a fan of A Perfect Circle, but everything else on the list , is definately in my definitive collection!
like number six :)
Justin? Really?
I'm going to have to investigate this. I've been hearing good things about it; maybe this metal head will like it.
Maybe not, but there's only one way to know!
As soon as I saw the theme of your lsit I knew the Beatles had to be there somwhere -- Abbey Road, White Album, Sgt Pepper: all brilliant -- so of course I agree with yoru #6. I haven't heard any of the others.
Must be my future? Sex? Love? Sound?
*shakes bootie*
