Your top 5 favorite albums

[Matt Bacon]

This is definitely going to date me. A combination of albums that are emotionally important in my life, and some that are great records irrespective of my connection with them (and I’ll try to do five or it could be fifty…)

Kilimanjaro -Teardrop Explodes

The Doors - The Doors

ABC - The Lexicon of Love

Prince - Sign O the Times

Human League - Dare

Pulp - Different Class

(And because you can’t love music and not love The Beatles - Rubber Soul)

I know I can’t count…

best,

M.

Matt, did you get "The Lexicon of Love II" the follow-up that came out in 2016?

No radio hits as there's no songs on it written by and middle aged Swedes but a solid album in the same vein as the original.

Men at work were awesome!   Cargo is my favorite from them.   I can't get enough of the song No Sign of Yesterday. 

 

Also,  as an addition to my list (yes this will put me over five too ?) - David Lee Roth  - Eat Em and Smile.   Some truly amazing musicians coming together for an outstanding album.   It was also my first concert.
