I´m a big fan of Wigwam. I really think Fairyport is best album of the world. I prefer the "first Wigwam" (there were Gustavson-Pohjola-Pembroke-Österberg) but I like a lot also the second company. And their comeback album "Light Ages" is also quite good, after that they haven´t made anything that is about to mention. |
It´s wonderful, that so many could mention only ten albums and leave many "love-ones" out. Because somebody have made new lists, I also mention the albums, that I have to leave out with big pain:
Pink Floyd: Atom Heart Mother the Who: the Who Sell Out The Velvet Underground and the Nico Joy Division: Unknown Pleasures Jethro Tull: Thick As a Brick the Rolling Stones: Beggars Banquet The Beatles: Revolver The Pretty Things: S.F. Sorrow Bauhaus: Mask Jon Spencer Blues Explosion: Orange Sielun Veljet: Suomi-Finland (somebody already mentioned this, it´s really great album) Jimi Tenor and His Shamans: Diktafon (another great Finnish album) Gun Club: Fire of Love the Cramps: Psychedelic Jungle Amon Duul II: Tanz Der Lemminge Hawkwind: Warrior on the Edge Of time Traffic: Mr. Fantasy the Doors: Strange Days Björk: Medulla Kate Bush: the Kick Inside Country Joe and the Fish: Electric Music for the Mind and the Body Cream: Disraeli Gears Osibisa: Heads There are still many more, but maybe I have to finish this. |

But yeah, a classical top 10 is basically sth infeasible. |

It was really hard to choose best Tom Waits album, cause I love all he has made after Heartattack and vine (though the seventies album are also very great, but I think something good happen in swordfishtrombones and luckily it´s going still). I think the Black rider is strongest entity in his production. I like the Burroughs story. Albums´s music is also so versatile, there are some elements that are not in any other Waits album. To me it is very hard to understand, why Black Rider couldn´t be a favourite. |

Thanks for the heads up. I had another little think about my classical top 10. Again, something like Bach's Sonatas and Partitas for solo violin - I could almost do a top 10 featuring only that. It'd definitely feature well up on my favourite CDs ever, but it'd be a bloody nightmare picking between renditions (or, essentially, between Heifetz and Kremer), especially as there's usually another four released each year. |
Ten 'symphonies' (cheating).
Beethoven 3 Schnittke 6 Mahler 3 Strauss Ein Heldenleben [I'm allowing myself tone poems] Shostakovich 13 Saint-Saens 3 Tchiakovsky 6 Sibelius 6 Mozart 38 Ligeti Atmosphéres [See 4] 3 and 6 are good numbers. |

live at birdlands (as in my list) is just the perfect trane cd (set) I think |
