You have to choose ten and only ten...
 

So lets suppose we found live on mars or in the space and we are able to communicate.
They don't have music, so we want to show them.
What 10 and only 10 albums would you send?

Alotta ppl ive asked say the classics like white album, nevermind, black n black stuff like that...

Id say;

Wish - The Cure
Lateralus - Tool
Closer - Joy division

Uhm... im really undecided

What bout you?

I would think that there was already another thread on this :)

But if I had to pick ten. Most of mine of commercially successful but who cares.
By year

1. Blonde On Blonde - Bob Dylan

Shows the early period of jangly folk and introspective lyrics.

2. Disraeli Gears - Cream

The guitar driven psychedelic rock of the 60s

3. Let It Bleed - Rolling Stones

The blues - Hard Rock of the early period.

4. Selling England by the Pound - Genesis

Very nice progressive rock album.

5. Paranoid - Black Sabbath

Showing the hard rock of the 70s

6. Songs in the Key of Life - Stevie Wonder

Love this album, most optimistic album ever.

7. The Clash - The Clash

May be the best punk album. May be not. Buy it anyways, and make sure it's the UK version.

8. Debut - Bjork

Love it. Any of Bjorks stuff could be in this spot (except Homogenic and her sugarcube stuff).

9. Transmissions from the Satellite Heart - The Flaming Lips

Their commercial break through, they perfectly blended psychedelic distortion and pop melodies.

10. The Mollusk - Ween

Novelty Rock at it's best. Criminally underrated.

Wild Card: The Mad Cap Laughs - Syd Barrett

I only put it on because I am a fanboy and have yet to hear anything like it.

Yeah we already have this
