Fortunately I’m not restricted to this list in any believable scenario.
Interesting and wonderful to see the number of people who can’t do with Dave Brubeck. So what song(s) made **Time Out ** your selection? I picked **Time In ** because of 40 Days.
I can’t get below 12 choices, but I see a few others couldn’t get it down to 10 either.
Buena Vista Social Club, “Buena Vista Social Club”
Bill Frisell, “Gone, Just Like a Train”
Chet Atkins, “Chet Atkins and Friends”
Randy Newman, “12 Songs”
Alman Brothers Band, “Alman Brothers at Filmore East"
Janis Joplin, “Pearl”
Bob Seger, “Night Moves”
Johnny Cash, “At Folsom Prison”
Van Morrison, “Moondance”
Tina Turner, “Private Dancer”
David Bowie, “Let’s Dance”
Derek and the Dominos “Layla”
Well, I picked it and can do one of 2 things: I could either (1) List every track on the album, or (2) Point out that Time Out is one of those great albums that just flows. In fact, every album that made my hypothetical cut has that flowing charateristic - where’s it’s not a collection of songs, but rather a piece of work. To prove the point, ‘Nighthawks @ The Diner’ by Tom Waits was my #11 choice.
I think the album as a whole stands as a work of art. But I have to admit to being a sucker for Blue Rondo a la Turk, even though the places where it jumps back and forth between 9/8 and 4/4 remind me of Steve Martin having episodes of Happy Feet.
The White Stripes: De Stijl
The Beatles: The White Album
Liz Phair: Exile in Guyville
Nirvana: Nevermind
The Pixies: Doolittle
Portishead: Dummy
AC/DC: Back in Black
The Donnas: Spend the Night
Beck: Odelay
Lucinda Williams: Concrete and Barbed Wire
Again, this list changes daily. However, the first six are carved in stone.
The album is a work of art. But I do have a soft spot for Blue Rondo a la Turk, in spite of the fact that the places where it jumps between 9/8 and 4/4 remind me of Steve Martin breaking out in “Happy Feet”.
Well, I’m gonna repeat some stuff that has come before, but here goes anyway:
Beatles, Revolver
Boards of Canada, Music has the Right to Children
Hooverphonic, A New Stereophonic Sound Spectacular
Led Zeppelin, Physical Grafitti
Lounge Lizards, Voice of Chunk
Massive Attack, Mezzanine
Rolling Stones, Exile on Main Street
Sam Phillips, Martinis and Bikinis
Steely Dan, Countdown to Ecstacy
XTC, Black Sea
one two one two one two one two three

Large Marge’s thread here reminded me of an album I have to put into the #10 spot – Wynton Marsalis’s In This House On This Morning. Pls. consider the above list so revised.
The no greatest hits rule is a killer, that leaves out Earth Wind & Fire’s Greatest (Vol I) and Stevie Wonder’s Original Musiquarium - right? Isn’t that one a gr hits album? (notice how I managed to mention them both anyway? does that mean the rescue team brings them along for the ride home?)
