  1. darmuzz says Very nice eclectic list. Feist from 2007 makes all time favourites! I am always hesitant to add an album from the current year in case I feel differently about it in two years' time.

  2. Foraggio says Yeh - Feist surprsied me, too :-) ... but hey. Not an easy task this. I was born in '72 as well, so I hear where you're coming from. I would have to find room for The Wall and Who's Next, I think. That leaves me room for 28 more ... ... can I get back to ya? ;-)

  4. sonical says Good list. Don't know all of them but will listen. Axis could be top 5 for many. And that is a great Neil Young album. Others I'd have are: Stones Exile on Main St. (http://mog.com/music/The_Rolling_Stones/Exile_On_Main_Street) Black Sabbath Paranoid (http://mog.com/music/Black_Sabbath/Paranoid) - Its an amazing album. There isn't much on Rhapsody but if you go to the album page you can click on the video tab and there are user-made music videos for some songs. Planet Caravan will surprise you. Grateful Dead: Workingmans Dead - No music on Rhapsody but ZZ Todd's post has a great video.(http://mog.com/music/Black_Sabbath/Paranoid)

  6. Shintaro says Hey Sonical, You're right!, 'Workingmans Dead' probably should have made it- my wife and I love that album. "The Reminder' is a timeless album, I don't think I will ever get sick of it. Hey Foraggio, I can't wait to see another '72 baby's list. Take your time- it took me months to decide... Madonna's album for me as a 12 year old boy was the best thing in the world. I still love Holiday, Lucky Star and Burning Up....
