Your favourite albums by letter

[durga2112]

The nice thing about being on a new message board is that you can rip off threads that you started on other boards and pass them off as something new.

This thread idea is pretty simple: just list your favourite album for each letter of the alphabet. Be careful, though - some of them can be really tricky depending on what you have in your collection.

III Sides to Every Story (Extreme)

III Sides to Every Story (Extreme)

CHEATER!

Hey, if iTunes says it starts with 'I', then it starts with 'I'.

Believe me, though, that letter was hard to do. If you do it that way, then you can also include things like Led Zeppelin's first few albums. If I had to go with a real letter 'I', though, it would probably be Images and Words.

i dont own enough cds to do this ! about 6 letters are missing fron my collection.

Do it anyway - you can still make a list of about 20 albums.

I forgot one thing: albums that start with a number. I only have three anyway: Rush's 2112, and Van Halen's 1984 and 5150. If I had to pick just one of those albums, it would be 5150.

BTW, there is some very nice diversity in people's lists here.

[hu0bV sn0!7!l3p]

a number? i have III sides to every story. Yes's 90125 and rush's 2112 (and probably a few others that i cant remember).
