So many top 10 material...

 

[Elvis P]

I was going to include Innervisions, but I wanted 10 different artists and The Talking Heads are one of best funky, rhythmic bands ever. Imho Aja is the best Steely Dan album.

 

[expatriatedtexan]

Sam Cooke - Live at the Harlem Square Club, 1963
Radney Foster - Del Rio, TX 1959

Journey - Escape
Hootie & the Blowfish - Cracked Rear View

[PANARIN BREAD FAN]

acdc-highway to hell

rolling stones-some girls
van halen-fair warning
racer x-live at the whisky
black sabbath-heaven and hell

[Hockey Outsider]

It's tough to limit it to ten, but without much thought:

Black Sabbath - "Paranoid"
Blaze Bayley - "Silicon Messiah"
Iron Maiden - "Powerslave"
Judas Priest - "Painkiller"
King Crimson - "Red"
Rage Against the Machine - "Rage Against the Machine"
Slayer - "Hell Awaits"

My top ten are all rock/metal, but there would be jazz and hip-hop if we expand it to the top 20 or 30.

 

[VMBM]

J.S. Bach - Golberg Variations

Bach recorded an album?

Glenn Gould recording(s), I presume?

Bach recorded an album?
