Life has a soundtrack

This list was circulating on Facebook a while back.  I liked it so here it is again.  Feel free to add your own in the comments.

Think of 15 albums, CDs, LPs that had such a profound effect on you they changed your life. Dug into your soul. Music that brought you to life when you heard it. Royally affected you, kicked you in the wasu, literally socked you in the gut, is what I mean. Then when you finish, tag 15 others, including moi. Make sure you copy and paste this part so they know the drill. Get the idea now? Good. Tag, you're it!


I may have been too gassed at the time to remember the right fifteen, but here goes:

Blow By Blow  - Jeff Beck

Captain Marvel  - Stan Getz

Sticky Fingers - The Rolling Stones

Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd

Eat a Peach - The Allman Brothers

Kind of Blue - Miles Davis

Jar of Flies - Alice in Chains

Born to Run - Bruce Springsteen

Queen II - Queen

Magical Mystery Tour - The Beatles

Fear - Toad the Wet Sprocket

Moanin' - Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers

Boston - Boston

My Favorite Things - John Coltrane

Physical Graffiti - Led Zeppelin.


Trouble is, if you're over 40 years old the list should be 25 instead of 15. I had to leave too many great discs off. Aja, The Captain and Me, In the Court of the Crimson King and Armed Forces were near misses.
