My list

After many, many years of debating how I wanted to go about doing this, I've finally decided to give it a try. I've often thought about what my "top 10" or "top 25" albums of all-time would be, or what albums I would want if I was stranded on an island. There is no way for me to narrow it down to a specific number, so I came up with a different way to approach it; what are the most influential albums in my life? So, I'm going to do this chronologically, and include albums that had an impact on my life at the time. I'm going to attempt to remember albums throughout various points in my life, so some of the groups may be bunched together (as I discovered them) and some will be listed separately (as they were released). For some of these, it was a lasting impact, for others not so much. Anyway....if you are interested, here goes:

KISS - Destroyer

Pink Floyd - The Wall

Dixie Dregs - What If, Unsung Heroes, Industry Standard

Rush - Moving pictures, Exit...Stage Left

King Crimson - Discipline, Beat, Three of a Perfect Pair

Steve Morse Band - The Introduction

Iron Maiden - Piece of Mind, Powerslave

Saga - Heads or Tales

James Newton Howard & Friends

Yes - 90125

Rush - Power Windows

Zebra - 3.V

Queensryche - Rage for Order, Operation: Mindcrime

Marillion - Misplaced Childhood, Clutching at Straws

Mr. Big - Mr. Big, Lean Into It

Dave Weckl - Master Plan

Chick Corea Elektrik Band - Beneath the Mask

Dream Theater - Images and Words

Red Hot Chili Peppers - BloodSugarSexMajik

Sting - Ten Summoners Tales

Marillion - Brave

Steve Vai - Fire Garden

Marillion - This Strange Engine

Dream Theater - Falling Into Infinity, Scenes from a Memory

Seal - Seal II, Human Being, Seal IV

Spock's Beard - The Kindness of Strangers, V

Porcupine Tree - In Absentia, Nil Recurring

Marillion - Marbles

Dream Theater - Octavarium

The Frost - Experiments in Mass Appeal, Milliontown

Spock's Beard - X


OK, so 45 albums...no way I can limit it to top 10. I also did not include any orchestral, band, percussion ensemble, or solo marimba...maybe that will be for another post sometime.
