top-list Top 10 Albums

I know this isn't exactly on the topic of indie filmmaking, but I thought it would be fun to start a top ten thread about music. In an effort to make it somewhat related to movies...let's phrase the question this way:

"If you could compile the ultimate music soundtrack for your film by chosing songs from your top 10 favorite albums of all time, which albums would you chose?"


I'll start with mine (in no order)--

Rush - Moving Pictures
The Replacements - Pleased to Meet Me
The Sidewinders - Auntie Ramos' Pool Hall
Sarah McLachlan - Fumbling Toward Ecstasy
Queensryche - Operation Mindcrime
Dag - Righteous
The Connells - One Simple Word
Y&T - In Rock We Trust
Black 'n' Blue - Without Love
Son Volt - Trace

Lots of guilty pleasure in there.
 
lou reed - transformer
nick cave and the bad seeds - sweetheart come
leonard cohen - songs of love and hate
elliot smith - either/or
tv on the radio - desperate youth, bloodthirsty babes
christopher o'rielly - true love waits
prodigy - always outsiders, never outdone

gone for a mix of moody, relaxing and hardcore tub-thumpin' action. need time to ponder what remains.

interesting topic john!
