If you had all your records stolen....
If you had all your records stolen and had to start from scratch what 15 would you start with? (no compilations)
My list is pretty standard...looking forward to seeing everybodys. In no order... Licensed to Ill - Beastie Boys Violator – Depeche Mode London Calling – Clash Never Mind The Bollocks – Pistols Some Girls – Rolling Stones Doolittle - Pixies The Head on the Door - The Cure Rage Against the Machine - Rage Against the Machine Siamese Dream-Smashing Pumpkins Badmotorfinger- Soundgarden It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back Public Enemy Highway to Hell AC/DC Dookie – Green Day The Cars - The Cars Pisces Iscariot-Smashing Pumpkins |
Could I argue that this is essentially a "what are your top 15 records of all time" list?
And I'll add that it sounds like you're about my age. :p: |

I would cry my little girly eyes out and not be able to start again really, a lot of my LPs have good memories attached to them, not just what's on it but how I came to have them.
For example, when I was 14 I was skipping school with a girl who'd only been friends for only a couple of days, and we stopped into the little record store in town, and come to find my favorite record is in, Sandinista!, of course. I've never seen Sandinista! vinyl in this city and it was in great condition, but I had no money and knew it would be gone if I didn't get it that day. So, my friend tells me that she'll put half down on it so I wouldn't lose the chance to have it. It was one of the kindest things anyone had done for me, because she could tell how much it meant to me. |

as for me...if this were to really happen i would probably continue searching for new stuff and just pick up the albums that got stolen as i felt like listening to them. but, if i did have to pick 15 smashing pumpkins - siamese draem boards of canada - the campfire headphase the cure - disintegration elliot smith - either/or the flaming lips - yoshimi battles the pink robots the mars volta - deloused in the comatorium mew - and the glass handed kites my bloody valentine - loveless radiohead - hail to the thief rush - permanent waves thievery corporation - the cosmic game yo la tengo - i can hear the heart beating as one allman brothers band - live at filmore east king crimson - red genesis - foxtrot chosen with both variety and essential-ness in mind. not necessarily my top 15 of all time. |
