My Top 10 + 4 Albums
I was watching Much More Music and they had a show on called the "Best 40 Ablums of the Past 25 Years". Now I can't say I agree or disagree with any of their selections because my muscial palette is definately not refined enough or big enough to debate those albums.
I thought hey, what about me, what would be my Top Ten albums if I had to be stuck on a desert island. I started to go through my collection and came out with 10 + 4. I couldn't really narrow it down from there.
I know other peoples favorites will not be on here but that is the great thing about opinion pieces - I can say whatever I want to you are left writting comments knocking my selection and wonder why I have left certain albums off.
Now I am not a music expert, I have not listened to every underground band in the world. These are the CD's that I own that have logged a lot of airplay for me, bring back certain memories, and mark periods of time in my life.
These are the "Furious 14".CD's that Duncan could not live without.
