timeless albums

[Pierrot Le Fou]

Case and point: I saw Limp Bizkit's "Significant Other" CD on the Clearence rack at my local music store. If I wanted to, I could have been its proud owner for $1.05.

I routinely see Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" in bargain bins, and
yet no one has challenged it's timelessness. I'm just playing Devil's
Advocate here.

I picked up 'The Sound Of Music' viynl @ bargin bins for a $1... I bought it immediately.

I think you all are trying to tell me something Yeah, I've got a story of my own: I saw the vinyl for the Amedaus soundtrack, The Sting soundtrack and Michael Jackson's Thriller on sale for 50¢ at a local store.


But it was a Goodwill store, and all the records were that price.

These are all I've come up with for the moment going through my CD collection. Most of them are at least 5 years old [/i]

I'll put in another vote for 'Das Boot'- in the day, I almost got at ticket rippin' along Rte 2, about 86mph to the engine theme (heard in 'Angriff' and 'Homeward Bound') Tip of the hat to Basil Poledouris' 'Hunt for Red October' while we're on submarine movie theme music.

I gotta play selections from Richard Rodgers' 'Victory at Sea' during Memorial Day or July 4th, and Handel's 'Messiah' for Easter.

Beethoven's 9th, (but also 'Helgoland,' by Anton Bruckner,) 'Karn Evil 9,' by Emerson, Lake & Palmer, and 'Going for the One,' by Yes. And a ton of Celtic and medieval stuff, especially a-capella motets.

None of this seems to make good AMV's though, but I might try:
- That silly, sped-up 60-second rinky-tink piano run at the end of 'The Sheriff' (ELP again. The lyrics suck. But we knew that already.)
- Stuff by The Dregs. (aka Dixie Dregs) Virtuoso guitar-ing, all instrumentals. No lyrics.
- 'Classical Gas,' by Mason Williams. No. Just kidding.

[Jace Tsunami]

this thread is gay. It had a good idea but no one knwos what they're tlaking about.

I only saw a few that fit the bill.

The stuff has to appeal the EVERYONE, it has to be well known, the band has to be famous.

This seems to be a "name albums you like" thread more than anything.

I only read the first page up until Thursday was mentioned to save myself the waste of time to come.

I saw only a few albums mentioned that are good answers, CDs like Green Day's Nimrod being one of them.

Thursday, as much as I fucking love that album, no one knwos who they are dude. Shame shame on you, you even made this thread. How can they be part of our culture, and a timless album if no one knwos who they are?

I'm done rambling. Maybe I'll go back and read more of the thread later, but from what I see this is basicly a favorite albums thread.
