    I get Baby boomers, Gen X and today which is Gen Z, or Generation L (lost).

    Radiohead: The Bends.



    This is based on an opinion that every instrument and every TALENTED musician has no boundaries when they know how to play their instrument. Every band's best music was always within their first five records if they were an aggressive and serious band.

    I seriously hate the term "mainstream".



    This thread should have good life. Irish, rename it to whatever you like. Music is life.

    Love me some 70's Floyd. They win, although I can't pick which is my favorite.

    Dark Side of the Moon
    Wish You Were Here
    Animals
    The Wall

    But yeah White Album for sure
    Deep Purple - In Rock
    Neil Young - Harvest
    Zepp - IV

    I know it's popular to shit on it nowadays, but Nevermind is the album of my generation IMO.

    I enjoy me some Radiohead. The band is totally spoiled by obnoxious diehard Radiohead fans though haha.

    I'm old sckool, so Deep Purple, Floyd, Zep, are all in the mix. Throw in some ELP (Welcome Back My Friends...) along with Joe Walsh, and of course the Beatles and the Stones, which I grew up on.

    I will also confess to having a weakness for southern rock (geez, whoddathunkit?) so a shit load of those bands get honorable mentions.

    Love the classics. Zeppelin. Beatles. The Doors. The Stones. Pink Floyd (saw them live once and holy fuck it was amazing!)

    My top "5 albums if stranded on an island" would have to be:

    Mars Volta - De-Loused in the Comatorium

    Favorite song off album - Cicatriz ESP



    My Morning Jacket - Z

    Favorite song off album - Wordless Chorus



    Interpol- Turn on the Bright lights

    Favorite song off album - Untitled



    Radiohead - In Rainbows

    Favorite song off album - Weird Fishes Arpeggi



    Black Keys - Attack and Release

    Favorite song off album - So He Won't Break



    So many more albums and artist I like that it's unfair to have a "top 5" haha Can we just get like a 4TB hard drive filled with music instead of 5 albums on this hypothetical island haha :D

    Led Zeppelin - IV
    Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
    Lynyrd Skynyrd - Pronounced
    Rolling Stones - Let It Bleed

    Loved Zep, but my favorite was Physical Graffiti, not IV.
    Same thing with Floyd, but favorite was Animals.
    Loved early Metallica, thought Master of Puppets was brilliant. Haven't liked anything in ages
    Aerosmith Rocks, close to a perfect album. Again, haven't liked anything in ages from them

    Yeah Zep offered many choices and Physical Graffiti was pretty great too
    Same with Floyd, I love Animals and certainly Dark Side deserves plaudits but I'm sticking with Wish for 'my' desert island

    I'm just gonna throw this one out there for old times sake.

    Jethro Tull - Aqualung.

    Doesn't make the top 5, but a great album.

    its a really interesting debate
    especially since they're are a lot of albums with two or three great songs but aren't really great albums
    just thought of someone else
    i went to see the cars in 1979
    the cars were good musically but put on a boring show
    but there was this guy/band who opened up for them that no one knew
    joe jackson
    his first couple albums were pretty damn good...
