Vinyl breeds passion…

Over the last year or so, my wife and I have built a pretty diverse vinyl collection, and right now, I’m loving these albums more than my CDs and mp3s, and close to as much as my SIRIUS subscription (but gaining on it)

My (super cheesy) top ten: 

10. Bouncing Souls - How I Spent My Summer Vacation. Anyone who likes punk should own this album.

9. Black Sabbath - Master of Reality. - Ozzy rules. “Children Of The Grave” at volume level 52 actually scares my dogs. 

8. Janis Joplin - Pearl - All of the current-day female vocalists combined have about as much true emotion than Janis’ big toe. She absolutely wails.

7. Rage Against The Machine - Evil Empire.  There are sounds in this record that I never heard in thousands of listens on CD and mp3. Tom Morello. ’nuff said.

6. Jimi Hendrix - Rainbow Bridge Soundtrack - Can’t get enough Jimi. So far ahead of his time.

5.  Bad Religion - How Could Hell Be Any Worse?  - Punk and brains unite!

4. The Clash - Sandinista! - There’s so much music on this (36 tracks), it’s actually a challenge to listen to all of it in one sitting. (but if you do, you’re glad you did).

3. Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Show Your Bones - Music doesn’t have to be old to be awesome on vinyl.

2. Led Zeppelin - Houses Of The Holy - 2 words: Jimmy Page. 

1. AC/DC - Let There Be Rock - I think there needs to be an “AC/DC Day” worldwide holiday.
