Lynyrd Skynyrd Greatest Hits

Wouldn't they all be Greatest Hits albums, then? Rearviewmirror covers like 95% of all good Pearl Jam songs throughout the years

how many songs on it?

Kinda cheating. the Skynyrd GH album I am talkin bout has 15 tracks.

And if rearview mirror doesn't have Oceans I want Ten over it.

Pat Metheny Group - We Live Here
Tears for Fears - Tears Roll Down

interesting choice for your Beatles album.

Cant go wrong.

I once read an article that was pretty cool. The point was you can tell what kind of person and or music fan by what your fav Beatles album is.

Mine: Abbey Road

Sister: Sgt Peppers

Dad: Rubber Soul

Mom: Help

interesting choice for your Beatles album.

Dear Prudence has a special meaning to me...that and I like the funky version of Revolution 1 on side 3.

 

[WhiteMamba]

Mozart - 'Requiem in d minor' (Karajan)
Marshall Tucker Band - 'Where We All Belong'
Allman Brothers Band - 'Live at the Fillmore East'

Dear Prudence was actually a song for Mia Farrow's sister Prudence. It was written by John Lennon while they were in India and Prudence was spending all day inside meditating. Lennon thought she was putting too much into the whole thing which he later called a scam. But that's not why I like it, that has to do with a girl I knew who would sing that song when she wanted sex. No idea why but it worked for me.

 

[WhiteMamba]

very very nice!

 

[H2S]

you've exquisite tastes, my man.



if only one album were allowed, it'd be IZ.
'Alone' is his only local folks album - most cuts are sung in Hawaiian, not the touristy English crap.

 

[ratenstein]

If I can get away with it, The Beatles - Yellow Submarine (Soundtrack version), otherwise it would be Abbey Road
Oingo Boingo - Farewell
The Doors - Strange Days
Mr. Bungle - California
Queens of the Stone Age -

I might as well close my eyes and dig into my collection, because it would be too tough to choose only 5 albums.

This is true, kind of hard not to include something by The Moody Blues, Jethro Tull, Hendrix, Sabbath...and on and on. Especially hard to exclude killer albums like In The Court of the Crimson King and Tarkus...
