Feel free to edit your lists to more than 10...I took 10 out of the title...I think I'm going to go a lot further. Right now I'm just at the rough cut with the 9 I have....no way is it final.

[psuexv]

Some close votes for my top 10

Pearl Jam - Yellow Ledbetter

Static X - Push it

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vObp0vBDOY

[psuexv]

Be nice if Deuce added some links so I could check out Mogwai

[JBHuskers]

I need to add some STP, old Taproot, old Finger Eleven, (yes there were albums before Paralyzer made it big :D)some more rap with 2Pac, more Outkast, The Roots maybe.....I saw Finger Eleven as one of my first bar concerts back in 2000...I had followed a few Canadian bands like them, Our Lady Peace, Econoline Crush, and yes Nickelback in their early stages.

[psuexv]

OLP :nod:

2 Pac - California Love

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cs9hp4ubU1k

[JBHuskers]

Eric and I are in a text battle about Pearl Jam songs...I think we will have to go That Metal Show and do the definitive list for each of us. :D He told me Yellow Ledbetter > Dissident, and I told him that I wasn't even sure Yellow Ledbetter would be in my top ten :D

[Deuce]

Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town is my fav PJ song.

Slowhand - Layla

[psuexv]

I had Free Bird on my tentative list but couldn't find a place for them. The way I did my list was the top songs I can list to no matter what mood I'm. Skynyrd I have to be in the right mood for.

[psuexv]

bdoughty - are we the old geezers here since we're the only ones with some classics listed

Pretty much. When I'm drinking Bud Light around the campfire :D

[JBHuskers]

My list isn't final either...I can definitely see some 70's rock making their way up there....I got kinda side tracked with the Pearl Jam list with Eric :D

[bdoughty]

bdoughty - are we the old geezers here since we're the only ones with some classics listed

That I am. I do not listen to today's music and it appears I am in the minority as I am not a big fan of the metal.

Well, my problem is, it's impossible for me to have just ten favorite songs. Maybe 10 favorite albums, but I don't listen to music like that. I hear one song from an album, I want to hear the entire thing. I listen to music by album, most of the time, unless I'm bored of everything and then I'll shuffle it all and listen that way, which, normally, just goes until I find a song from an album that I want to hear the whole album.

[steelerfan]

I listen to albums, not just songs, too. :nod:

[Deuce]

Yep, me too. When Mogwai is you favorite band you kinda have to. I barely know the names of their songs. I just know albums. Post rock definitely lends itself to 'album listening'.

And yet, you were able to come up with a top 10. There's no freakin' way I'd be able to come up with a top 10, but I think I'm going to spend the next 2 hours trying to (cause I'm bored and have played WAY too much Skyrim in the past three days and need a break before I get burnt out).

[Deuce]

Ya, its interesting. My top 10 are all prior to me getting into post rock. I still buy cd's and vinyl in an actual record store. Very few of my albums were bought from iTunes. I don't buy singles either.

So can you and steelerfan post your Top 10 Albums so we can berate those picks? JB, can you edit this thread and rename it High Fidelity 2: Time to play B-Sides. Mors would make a good fit replacing John Cusack in this sequel. Being a miserable old cuss. :P

[morsdraconis]

Here's the thing about music. It's completely subjective (which makes music review websites, top 10s, best bands ever, etc completely dumb). The music I like, I'm sure quite a few people will hate just like the music you guys like I don't care for. Music, unlike pretty much any other form of media, can range from amazing to horrible depending on the person listening to it and their music interests/tastes.

Even if I was to list 10 albums that I absolutely love, it'd be impossible for me to rank them because I have to be subjective enough about it to put it outside of how I feel right now about them and instead think about them if it was a day where I felt like listening to that particular album; therefore, it's impossible for me to even rank them compared to one another because if I feel like listening to it, I do, otherwise, I don't keep that music around to listen to. So, basically, I could throw my entire collection of mp3s out as my favorite stuff because, if I don't like it enough to listen to it more than a few times over a few weeks/months, then I don't keep it on my HDs to listen to.

[bdoughty]

Download your mp3 collection to a spreadsheet and post it here. Then I can make fun of your whole library. ;)

Eh, the singing is just a bit grating to me. I don't see myself listening to them for long (and I listened to some of the other songs on that album with the woman singing as well - don't care for it either).

[steelerfan]

So can you and steelerfan post your Top 10 Albums so we can berate those picks? JB, can you edit this thread and rename it High Fidelity 2: Time to play B-Sides. Mors would make a good fit replacing John Cusack in this sequel. Being a miserable old cuss. :P

Ok, even though JB hasn't approved such a list in this thread, I'll give a list of my favorite albums to amuse you people. I put this together in about 20 minutes so, outside of the top 5 or so, it may be inaccurate. I may have forgotten a few that would make my Top 25 over some that I listed, as well.

1. Slayer - Reign in Blood
2. Carcass - Necroticism: Descanting the Insalubrious
3. Morbid Angel - Blessed are the Sick
4. Carcass - Symphonies of Sickness
5. Napalm Death - Harmony Corruption
6. Hail of Bullets - ...Of Frost and War
7. Slayer - Show No Mercy
8. Slayer - Hell Awaits
9. Deicide - Serpents of the Light
10. Carcass - Reek of Putrefaction

11. Megadeth - Rust in Peace
12. Flotsam & Jetsam - Doomsday for the Deceiver
13. Morbid Angel - Domination
14. Deicide- Legion
15. Carcass - Heartwork
16. Unleashed - Where No Life Dwells
17. Dead Horse - Horescore: An Unrelated Story That's Time Consuming
18. Metallica - Ride the Lightning
19. Cannibal Corpse - Butchered at Birth
20. Carnivore - Retaliation

21. Unleashed - Warrior
22. Cannibal Corpse - Vile
23. Anthrax - Persistence of Time
24. Metallica - Kill 'em All
25. Metallica - Master of Puppets

I hate popular music. Popular music means that it's been made radio friendly, and therefore shitty. In general, my interests in music vary widely as my collection is missing Fiona Apple, Veruca Salt, and Bjork as well as Fantomas, select Mr Bungle stuff, and Apocalyptica's album Cult (the only one I really care for as it was before they went all radio friendly with *** sounding singers and drummers all the while fading out how amazing their cellos sound)
