3 Albums - Pick Wisely

shailynn
They never tell you what you need to know.
If you could only listen to 3 albums for the next year anytime you got into your car (no radio available) which 3 albums would you pick? I’ll even let you cheat a little and allow 1 pick to be a greatest hits/boxed set.

led zeppelin-the song remains the same creedence-chronicles cheat pick: ratt-the atlantic years 1984-91. this kind of cheating merits expulsion from most schools. this collection contains 5 albums.
** If “greatest hits” albums count, then…
The Doors Greatest Hits The Rolling Stones Hot Rocks Bruce Springsteen Born to Run
I have 5,000+ music files on my computer. I used to burn Cd's to play in my car but my new 2024 Mustang does not have a CD port...old technology. So now I have USB stick with 1,009 songs on it. What is a radio?
Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd. Road to Ruin - Ramones. Moondance - Van Morrison
Meshuggah Catch 33 AC/DC Back in Black Godsmack, first album, self titled.
Iced Earth - Horror Show Blind Guardian - Nightfall in Middle Earth Kamelot - Poetry for the Poisoned
Just 3 albums ? OK, I'll give you the 3 types of albums I'd pick: One would be kick-ass rock & roll, another movie theme songs, and 3rd would be best of John Barry concerts. Something for a wide range of whatever I feel like at the moment.
Miles Davis Kind of Blue Led Zeppelin Physical Graffiti
and since you didn't limit the box set to a single artist Left of the Dial: Dispatches from the '80s Underground - 80 some songs on 4 cds that covers fairly comprehensively 1980's college radio.
Good topic, some great choices above.
Van Halen 5150 Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers best of album Lynyrd Skynyrd debut album "Pronounced Leh-nerd Skin-nerd"
First 3 that popped into my head where I do not have to skip one single track on any of these albums.
Cypress Hill - Black Sunday Kid Frost -Smile Now, Die Later Culture Beat - Serenity
I'd get sick of whatever it is but I'll just shit out 3 albums I think are good.
Damn the Torpedoes-Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
Rumors-Fleetwood Mac
Eliminator- ZZ Top
Ask everyone how old they are without asking how old they are.
Oh wow, ONLY three...
An incredible compilation. Two of my all time favorites are on this album: Liz Story's "Greensleeves" and Mark Isham's "A Tale of Two Cities".
Joni Mitchell - For the Roses
AC/DC - Highway to Hell
Answering this before I read others' lists so I don't change my mind: The Very Best of the Eagles (33 songs), assuming compilation albums are acceptable Marvin Gaye - What's Going On Queen II
Wasn't expecting to see OP's choice of Robert Plant - Principle of Moments. Very good album, I bought it too upon release
Not a big music guy, mostly listen to sports or sports talk. I don't know albums well enough to list, but my 3 artists would be: Cinderella Billy Joel Beatles
Pink Floyd- The Wall Outkast- Aquemini The Jimi Hendrix Experience- Are You Experienced
Queensryche: Operation Mindcrime
Living Colour: Vivid
Metallica: Master of Puppets
Waiting for Columbus-Little Feat Back to Black-Amy Winehouse Hot Fuss-The Killers
@DeclineToState - Regarding Robert Plant, I was in kindergarten when that album came out. I was heavily influenced musically by my much older sibling. I was never a huge fan of Led Zeppelin but Robert Plant backed by Phil Collins in the 80's was amazing.
@jaybud999 - I really debated putting Vivid on my list, and Operation Mindcrime is a masterpiece as well. Geoff Tate was amazing on that album.
Rush - Moving Pictures Queensryche - Operation:Mindcrime The Who - Who's Next
good thread idea shailynn. several of the albums you guys listed i've heard before, but there are also many of them that i've never listened to. this thread gives me a bunch of albums i can check out and get exposed to some tunes i've never heard before :)
