Your 20 Favorite albums ( Not Greatest Albums of All Time, just favorite) If you were only allowed to keep 20 records from your collection, which ones would you choose?

very nice lists! It's hard to do only 20!. But I think people's favorites are interesting (as opposed to " Greatest of all Time") because a lot of times what's widely considered as an artist's best work isn't necessarily the one you like to listen to all the time. In my case, I know " What's Going On" is Marvin's masterpiece...I would never argue that it isn't...It just not the Marvin Gaye album I listen to most often...
...and for many people, a "hits compilation" will work better than full albums by an artist... [This message was edited Mon May 10 8:30:42 2004 by paligap] " I've got six things on my mind --you're no longer one of them." - Paddy McAloon, Prefab Sprout | |

You know what? That is a great album. narrowly missed my top 20. My favourite post-Beatles solo work (and there were some wonderful solo efforts post-beatles). | |
