MF Blaz's Ultimate Top 10.

About a month ago a good friend of mine ask me what my Top 10 favorite albums of all time were and I must've rattled off a good 30 albums before I stopped myself and told him that I would have to get back to him. After a month of endless hours devoted to picking out the best of the best I think I've been able to make a top ten list that will echo through the ages of my life. Now, let me just say that these albums might not be universally accepted by the blogging/indie/scene as great albums but to me they hold great meaning and weight to my life thus far. These 10 albums shaped me into the music lover I am today. I would be no where without them.

Please, feel free to comment with your Top 10...or 5..or 3... I'd love to hear what made you...you.

Trying to cut things down to a top 10 is really tough - but my three favorite albums are probabaly:

Audit In Progress - Hot Snakes
S/T - Think About Life
Entertainment! - Gang Of Four

I really enjoy these types of lists, especially when people aren't afraid to go outside the Pavement/MBV/Built To Spill/etc (just examples - not necessarily the right answers) box.; 11:47 am, February 19, 2008
Anonymous said...: Brilliant. I love trying to figure out these types of lists. Kudos for "If You're Feeling Sinister", a gem and no mistake. It would have made my top ten had you not picked it.
So:

Deltron 3030 - Deltron 3030
Billy Bragg - Workers Playtime
Nina Nastasia - Dogs
DJ Shadow - Endtroducing
Isis - Panopticon
The Shins - Chutes Too Narrow
Herman Düne - Not On Top
Underworld - Dubnobasswithmyheadman
Neil Young - Harvest
The Wannadies - Be A Girl
Therapy? - Meat Abstract

That's a top eleven of LPs that I truly love and I'd be hard pushed to explain why.; 4:12 pm, February 19, 2008
