3 Albums - Pick Wisely

Rumours - Fleetwood Mac
Greatest Hits Volume 1 - Billy Joel
Sour - Olivia Rodrigo

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.

1) Mountain, Nantucket Sleigh Ride
2) Eagles Greatest Hits-The Eagles Full Album
3)Bob Seeger, Stranger In Town

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"

1. Police - Message In A Box: Complete Studio Recordings
2. Nine Inch Nails - Pretty Hate Machine
3. Robert Plant - Principle of Moments

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...

1. A Winter's Solstice, Volume 1 (various artists)

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".

2. Joni Mitchell - For the Roses

3. 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 :)

@shailynn

I got super lucky last fall. Living Colour played an outdoor concert with probably a max capacity of 2000 people......there were maybe 500 people in the whole space set up for the concert, half of which were milling around at vendors. Vernon was smashing away, and Corey was walking around in the crowd singing for a couple of songs....it was amazing.

Black Sabbath- Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
The Who- Live at Leeds
Fleetwood Mac- The Dance (Reunion Album from ‘96)
