Amazing how many Coupe owners have picked Nirvana's Never Mind . A terrific collection, but I just like the freshness of In Utero....

Queen - A Night at the Opera (A Kind of Magic is a close second) The Housemartins and The Beautiful South - Soup (A bit of a cheat going with a best of album) Dire Straits - Brothers in arms Ha, more that nearly made it into my list. Sadly enough also in the nearly list was Slippery when Wet by Bon Jovi, which was the soundtrack to every teenage party I went to. For Beautiful South I was tempted to include Welcome to the Beautiful South; it's such a good album - Song for whoever, I'll sail this ship alone, Woman in the wall, etc. Now I'm feeling guilty that I edged it out
Dear monos, a secret truth.

Oh titbox. I just wrote a massive, heart-searching list, then navigated away by accident to look up an album name and that was it. Ar5e. Admit it - what *really* happened was that you included Pink Floyd and your computer exploded in self-defence!

I was trying to avoid this, but....
In no particular order
Pink Floyd - Meddle (hard to choose as I am a huge fan of most of the work) I Am Kloot - Sky at Night (or possibly the BBC on sessions) Nick Cave - Abatoir Blues Mark Knopfler - Get Lucky Fleetwood Mac - The Pious Bird of Good Omen Faithless - Sunday 8pm Joe Bonamassa and Beth Hart - Don't Explain John Martyn - Solid Air Neil Young - Le Noise Richard Hawley - standing at skies edge
Now that was difficult, and probably represents artists I return to regularly more than the specific albums as such. As said above it varies massively, I have a large selection of music covering most genres so its difficult to choose.

I can't really come up with a top ten, as I like a lot of songs, from a wide variety of albums and as above, depends on the mood at the time Albums I tend to listen to all the way through are Club Classics, Dance or Power Ballad type albums. When not listening to the above I now tend to listen to greatest hits albums: Def leppard Bon Jovi Coldplay Red Hot Chilli Peppers Limp Bizkit Scooter Dire Straits Guns N Roses Eminem Queen Like Nobby, I also enjoy listening to War of the Worlds

Like Nobby, I also enjoy listening to War of the Worlds Back in 1978 my parents were doing the Christmas present run and we took in a visit to my cousin who had just bought his first house. When we got there he could see I was a little bored so he sat me down by his huge music centre, plugged in this huge set of headphones, plonked them on my head and said "listen to this Robert".... I was a 14 year old lad and I got totally lost in the music and album artwork. This album was instrumental in opening my eyes to different styles of music. This led to me going through and listening to my parents album collection and finding that I could appreciate quite a lot of "Their" music! I came to realise that my Mum & Dad actually had quite a cool collection, once I got past the Jim Reeves & Slim Whitman stuff. As for my top ten..... Upon reviewing it today I question why there is so much missing. I clearly leaned towards Rock in my top ten but this means I have missed off so much other stuff. Today I am questioning why I have not selected any Punk or Ska. I must also confess that I like Pop music too and after listening today to Dusty in Memphis I wonder if she could also make my top ten?

Not easy but here goes...
Rainbow - Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow DIO - Killing the Dragon
Great picks Bob. Dio, I have to confess that I loved the little guy. I was a massive early Rainbow fan and was gutted when he left to join black Sabath. That said his influence meant that, for me, Heaven & Hell was their best ever album! In 2005 we noticed that Dio were doing a "Back to their roots" tour playing the "Holy Diver" tour at small venues as well as larger ones. We got too see them at the tiny Norwich UEA venue and as a bonus got to meet and chat with him outside before the gig started. What a really nice guy he was. He spent quite some time chatting with the small group of us, asking loads of questions and being totally open. I got to meet a childhood hero and was not at all dissapointed. We were due to see him again in 2010 on the Heaven & Hell tour but Ronnie never made it As we blokes get older we do seem to become a tad more sensetive (Well I know I have). When I received the Email from Ronnie's website (Wife) I did indeed have tears in my eyes reading it. I finally understood why my wife had been so upset when Freddie died.

Dusty in Memphis I wonder if she could also make my top ten?
This nearly made my top ten too, along with Air - Moon Safari and quite a few others.
Horsing around's a serious business.
