The title pretty much says it all. I am putting together a list for one of the classes I am teaching. There is a bunch of "stuff" out there but most of the time, it is complied by a list of music-snobs and people who dig the "indie" sound.

I am looking for your opinions...pick 1 album. Something you feel is iconic, complete, and important.

Examples:

Miles Davis - Kind of Blue
John Coltrane - Blue Train (I didn't go with "a Love Supreme" for quite a few reasons)
Pearl Jam - Ten
Nirvana - Nevermind
Public Enemy - It takes a nation of millions to hold us back
A Tribe Called Quest - Midnight marauders
Stevie Wonder - Songs in the key of life

So there you have it. Pick one album.

So many choices:cry:
But how about the Allman Brothers - Live at Fillmore East. It's kind of overlooked now by younger folks, but that double LP contains some amazingly tight live performances from a rock-n-roll band. It was recorded live at the Fillmore East concert hall in NYC over three nights — March 11, 12, and 13, 1971 — for which the band was paid a nightly sum of $1,250. :-o

I thought we were supposed to pick from the original list?

Miles Davis - Kind of Blue

Listening to it right now...that, Blue Train and Mingus' Ah Um make up the heavy rotation at work.

Hard to argue against the White Album.

Robert Johnson's Complete Collection maybe although I think most was originally released as singles.

No, the original list was made up if a few I thought of on the spot.

"Dirt" is a great choice. Can't believe I forgot about it.

Keep the suggestions coming.

Unless it's more Tiffany, Debbie Gibson, or Rick Astley. :)
