Best Albums I have Owned

[ivyblossom]

I saw this on metafilter and I see it's now doing the rounds as a meme of sorts. Normally I would not participate, since who really cares which of those albums I own, but since the last list I saw contained three titles, I thought I'd flash my 30: 17. Nevermind, Nirvana
20. Thriller, Michael Jackson
26. The Joshua Tree, U2
30. Blue, Joni Mitchell
62. Achtung Baby, U2
72. Purple Rain, Prince
81. Graceland, Paul Simon
96. Tommy, The Who
103. Sweet Baby James
180. The Definitive Collection, ABBA
197. Murmur, R.E.M.
206. Tea for the Tillerman, Cat Stevens
221. War, U2
233. Bookends, Simon and Garfunkel
236. The Who Sings My Generation, The Who
237. Like a Prayer, Madonna
247. Automatic for the People, R.E.M.
254. Whitney Houston, Whitney Houston
261. Tracy Chapman, Tracy Chapman
278. The Immactulate Collection, Madonna
312. The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, Lauryn Hill
327. Jagged Little Pill, Alanis Morissette
342. Violatpr, Depeche Mode
361. Substance, New Order
405. I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got, Sinead O'Connor
455. Synchonicity, The Police
466. Live Through This, Hole
470. Document, R.E.M.
477. The Score, Fugees
494. She's so Unusual, Cyndi Lauper

For once in my life, my extensive collection of R.E.M. tapes comes in handy. But I think Life's Rich Pageant should have been on there instead of Murmur. I'm just sayin'. See the full list here.

A hearty second to that.

And come to think of it, where the hell is Out Of Time?

And Green. I mean, really, if they can put all those Led Zepplin albums on there why not more that three form R.E.M.?

GREEN. Yeah, I agree. And all those beatles albums. It's just unfair.

I agree. Great album.

I agree about LRP vs Murmur, but I don't think you'll get many music critics to agree with you, for some reason.

I have one of those albums. One. Alanis' Jagged Little Pill. And it's a burned copy.

Woe! My album collection feels so.. insufficient next to yours! =D I own like.. less than ten of the CDs on that list. Must work to improve this number. *determined* Heh.
