    Some are easy and some are like deciding who's your favorite kid.

    1)David Bowie-Ziggy Stardust
    2)Pearl Jam-Ten
    3)Pink Floyd-Wish You Were Here (close)
    4)Janis Joplin-Pearl
    5)Allman Brothers-Brothers & Sisters (Did I have to choose? Both are GREAT albums!)
    6)The Cars
    7)Led Zeppelin II
    8)Nirvana Unplugged

    Hey this is fun, thank for participating.

    Jeff - does your mom like Janis? If not I will try to explain it to you sometime, it was more than the sound with Janis, it was the heart and soul and partly (for me) that I related to her and admired her for having guts and following her dream...sadly her dream turned into a nightmare :(

    Classic, I am having a VERY hard time choosing between Bowie and Carole King. They are so different!

    Sean, out of all the Zeppelin's which is your favorite?

    Hi Drew, I know your fave Zeppelin (P.G.). I think my choices are the same as yours except I choose Dire Straits.

    It's hard to have a favorite Zep album, but it's between III and Presence. "Achilles Last Stand" is one of the best things that they ever put together.

    Carole King “Tapestry”
    Dire Straits - Dire Straits
    Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
    Janis Joplin - Pearl
    Black Crowes - Shake Your Money Maker
    Cars
    Steely Dan - Can't Buy a Thrill
    Nirvana “unplugged”

    Tapestry and Can't Buy a Thrill are two of the best albums to come out of the 70s, period, so they were no brainers for me.
    Janis Joplin was one of those "once in a lifetime" singers, IMO. How can you listen to her sing "Summertime" and not be moved?
    While I like the Allman Brothers, The Crowes' first album is just flat out better.
    Never liked INXS that much; really like the Cars.
    David Gilmour > Jimi Hendrix. That's all I got to say.
    Depeche Mode blows, so Nirvana was the logical choice.

    1. Carole King - never got into Bowie that much
    2. Dire Straits
    3. Pink Floyd - has to be, really.
    4. Janis Joplin
    5. INXS
    6. Cars - don't really like either but I'll go with the majority
    7. Led Zep
    8. Depeche Mode - one of the best albums ever!
