Ramones - Ramones
Sex Pistols - Never Mind the Bollocks
Pantera - Vulgar Display of Power
Reverend Horton Heat - all of them
Johnny Cash - any/all
The Clash - London Calling
The Hickoids - We're In It for the Corn
Loco Gringos - Free Your Mind and Your Ass Will Follow
Butthole Surfers - all
Carl Orff - Carmina Burana
Beethoven - Symphony No. 9
Shostakovich - Symphony No. 5

and many more...

There's a certain joy in dusting off an old disc that you haven't listened to in a long time and rediscovering your love for it.

Let's See.....


1) Alison Krauss And Union Station- Live
2) Hank Williams Jr.- Greatest Hits I ( gotta have some drinkin' music )
3) Led Zeppelin 4
4) Lynyrd Skynyrd- Second Helping
5) Van Halen - 1984

I guess that would be okay, but damn, that's SO limiting.....

Too hard to pick five, but as I get older I find myself listening to old blues (or at least old blues artists) more often than not. Right now I have The 35th Anniversary Jam of the James Cotton Blues band cued up on my computer's CD player.

Aside from blues, I'd also pick out older Robyn HItchcock (maybe Element of Light), XTC (Skylarking? English Settlement import?), and definitely some Beatles (Rubber Soul?). I'm also partial to Copeland's Appalachian Spring, so that'd be on there, then some early Floyd, Hendrix.... heck, if I were limited to five I'd just shoot myself and get it over with.

Newer stuff is just too new to know if it'll pass the test of time.
