Crap! Thanks for reminding me of one I forgot though I might go with Killer Queen instead. I think I could drop Tower of Power's "Live and in Living Color" on there in the Honorable Mention category as well and Queensryche's Operation: Mindcrime as well as Rush's Exit Stage Left. So many records, so little time.
I grew up in the mid nintees, my mom is a hippie so this list may be a bit strange, plus there is no way I could put these in order Primus Sailing the seas of cheese Primus Pork soda Janes addiction XXX Janes addiction nothing shocking Pearl jam Vs Simon and Garfunkle greatest hits Steve miller band Greatest hits Led Zepplin. . . take your pick I love them all soundgarden. . . once again take your pick, although there a sides has a great balance to it. Beastie Boys Check your head Dave Mathews under the table and dreaming Dave Mathews Crash CCR greatest hits STP their second album I hate to admit this one but here it goes. . . . . .

Picking top CDs is hard. Some CDs are good all the way through, but no song really jumps out at you. Some CDs have several good songs and then a bunch of crappy filler. Then some CDs have one great, awesome song and then all garbage. Anyways, here are some of my favorites (in no particular order): Peter Gabriel Passion My Bloody Valentine Loveless Hooverphonic A New Stereophonic Spectacular Bad Brains Bad Brains (the ROIR album) Pink Floyd The Dark Side of the Moon Jimi Hendrix Axis: Bold As Love Miles Davis Kind of Blue Air The Virgin Suicides Radiohead OK Computer Massive Attack Protection DeconstructionDeconstruction Jane's Addiction Ritual de lo Habitual Big Star #1 Record Iron Maiden The Number of the Beast The Velvet Underground The Velvet Underground and Nico Charles Mingus The Black Saint and Sinner Lady Soundgarden Louder than Love Curtis Mayfield Superfly Bob Marley Catch a Fire Joy Division Substance (btw I hate listing a compilation album, but I don't own any other Joy Divison CDs.)
Some excellent choices, sub. I was hoping you would post in this thread. I got Passion a couple of days ago from Amazon and it's been everything that I have hoped for. I love "A Different Drum" and the last 2 tracks, but the whole thing is great. A New Stereophonic Sound Spectacular is good, but I think I may wind up liking Blue Wonder Power Milk even more. Don't have the Air, Soundgarden, and Joy Division CDs but they are excellent choices - Moon Safari is one of the CDs that just missed my honorable mention list. And you are right about bands selling out. However, I still like to listen to stuff like the Goo Goo Dolls or Blink 182 when I don't feel like I have to concentrate on the music. Call it mindless music, so to speak.
I didn't know Queen had an album called "Killer Queen"...you may be thinking of "Sheer Heart Attack".
