As I rode the eliptical at the Y, a Boston song, “Long Time,” played on my iPod Shuffle. I decided that that album, the self-titled “Boston,” was my alltime favorite album. I wore out a couple cassettes before graduating to the CD, and now I’m playing them on my iPod.
Then I got to wondering, “What are my other alltime favorite albums?” Here are my top 10.
- Boston: Boston
- U2: Joshua Tree
- Springsteen: Born in the USA
- Three Dog Night: Greatest Hits
- Hootie and the Blowfish: Cracked Rear View
- Meat Loaf: Bat Out of Hell
- Springsteen: The Rising
- Nirvana: MTV Unplugged
- Aerosmith: Honkin’ on Bobo
- Carpenters: Close to You
Yes, the Carpenters. That was my first album, and I can still remember playing it over and over. I thought “We’ve Only Just Begun” really rocked.
