Queen - Greatest Hits

It is the greatest for me.

I see you, soul sister ❤️.

Surely we can get some votes for Roxy Music’s Avalon?

This.

Rancid--Out Come the Wolves hands down for me.

Whitney Houston is up there. 1987's Whitney was pretty life changing for me.

But all of her albums were hit makers.

Old guy here. Not true, I hoard CDs, too!

Old guy has apparently lived a pretty segregated life.

That was my first thought, especially as the lists grew longer. But, if Old Guy is really old, his lists might be heavily influenced by growing up listening to racially segregated radio stations— an influence that younger folks, fortunately, might find almost impossible to imagine.

Old guy here, and I hear you. I am just a product of my times, man.

Peace, out.

It's all good! And I didn't, in any way, mean to call you out. There's a surprising amount of overlap in our respective lists, and I'm happy to see that Stevie made the cut.

LOL: I'm old enough to remember when kids / people were HIGHLY identified with their radio stations. Reading your list was a reminder that I/we get exposed to new music in very different ways these days. Somewhere I still have a box of mix tapes.....

Jar of Flies.

Led Zeppelin IV

Nirvana - Nevermind
Pearl Jam - 10
Dr Dre - The Chronic (really tied w/ 2001, though)
Outkast - Aquemini
Guns N Roses - Appetite for Destruction
Weezer - Blue

God, I miss the days when we would pop in a tape or CD and listen to the ENTIRE album. Those days are long gone.

We could be friends, or the same person

Were you born in 1979? Appetite for Destruction is still an album that I can listen to from start to finish when going for a run - 35 years later. It is amazingly good.

And I have still not heard anything that sounds like Aquemini. Complete genius.

1980
