If you could only keep the records of 20 bands or acts who would they be?

Chris C said:

I'd have to start with The Beatles (MUST include solo albums as well) and Sinatra, (which MUST include both albums with Antonio Carlos Jobim!)

Steely Dan (MUST include Donald Fagen's "The Nightfly")
Andrew Gold (Andrew was just so damn talented and his albums will always be favorites of mine, especially "All This & Heaven Too")
Electric Light Orchestra (MUST include Jeff Lynne's unbelievable "Armchair Theatre"!)
Nitty Gritty Dirt Band (MUST include their "various artists" album "Will The Circle Be Unbroken")
Chris Rice (I honestly couldn't live without Chris' brilliant "Smell The Color 9" album, as it's an overlooked masterpiece to me)
Rupert Holmes (There is truly lots more than "Escape" (The Pina Colada Song to this great singer/songwriter!)
Elton John (It's just such a wealth of a catalog, even though there are naturally a few duds in there)
The 4 Seasons (Whom I love, but again, I couldn't live without their classic "The Genuine Imitation Life Gazette" album!)

If picking a composer is cheating, replace Bach with Sum 41

Yeah, some totally white lists there, as expected. There is an altnernative list of 20 white people indluding fair few white women though. It's more an HR department equivalent.

insert quote hereLiz Phair

The Replacements

Spoon

Joni Mitchell

The Clash

Pavement

The Jesus and Mary Chain

Taylor Swift

Sonic Youth

Hole

PJ Harvey

Game Theory

The Gotobeds

Elastica

Veruca Salt

Archers of Loaf

Blondie

Pixies

Wire

Madonna

Here is another poat that sums up a good portion of them.

I don't really think I have records by more than 20 bands...

Crosby Stills & Nash

Crosby Stills Nash & Young

David Crosby

Stephen Stills

Graham Nash

Neil Young

The Byrds

Buffalo Springfield

They forgot Crosby & Nash, Stills-Young Band, Neil Young & Crazy Horse, The Hollies, and Manassas. At least this person didn't waste any picks on Eric Clapton related projects.

I'm not an old white guy playing blooz rawk.

	I don't like that album. I have the LP and CD and have never been able to hear the attraction.

a lot of people think they did that by running the tape backwards but if you listen carefully paul davis is actually ah fuck that doesn't even make sense anyhow rock and roll was simple and clear that's the point.

Hey, I have Deja Vu and there's a black guy on the cover! He's either Taylor or Reeves, I don't remember which or what he played. I used to have a Jimi Hendrix record but he just comes across as a second-rate Clapton wannabe to me.
