Well, I guess this will be my last Audities post, before the list will be shut down. Here's my Top 25 of best albums/CD.
It was pretty hard to do a Top 25, especially since I have always divided the music I like into two parts; one of albums and songs before 1990 and one of albums after 1990. I have always found it difficult to compare a Sixties album to one from the Nineties or 2000s. But, after some thinking, I have come up with the following list:
1. Raspberries - Starting Over 1974
2. Big Star - #1 Record 1972
3. Millennium - Begin 1968
4. Del Shannon - Home & Away (never released at the time, but from 1967)
5. Beach Boys - Pet Sounds (1966)
6. The Grays - Ro Sham Bo (1994)
7. Lou Christie - Paint America Love (1971)
8. Webb Brothers - Maroon (2000)
9. Left Banke - Too (1968)
10. Electric Soft Parade - Holes In The Wall (2002)
11. Bread - Manna (1971)
12. Eric Carmen - Eric Carmen (1975)
13. Adam Daniel - Blue Pop (1999)
14. The Waxwings - Low To The Ground (2000)
15. Zombies - Oddessey & Oracle (1968)
16. Zuckerbaby - Zuckerbaby (1997)
17. Splitsville - Repeater (1998)
18. Stories - Stories (1972)
19. Colin Blunstone - One Year (1971)
20. Tim Christensen - Secrets On Parade (2000)
21. Morning - Morning (1971)
22. The Yellow Balloon - The Yellow Balloon (1967)
23. Emitt Rhodes - Emitt Rhodes (1970)
