I sort of see your point, but there are some truely fantastic songs late on. Ones like "Goodnight Hollywood Blvd", "Wildflowers" and "Harder Now It's Over" are all fantastic. It's one of the few albums I can stick on and enjoy every song on it as much as the last. Was blown away when I first got it but rather dissapointed when I saw him as he did NOTHING off Gold and only 2 songs off Heartbreaker.

Going to see Damien Rice tomorrow night, should be good.

Have just updated the songs on my ipod to add the albums I bought today, just looked at all the albums I missed out for this. Doh

Hm, got to approve of Aliboy's list, though I'm still undecided on Maroon 5. Live they were great, but a lot of the recorded tracks I've heard have a lot of electonicy synth stuff in place of guitars, didn't have the same impact. The single release of Harder to Breathe was very good, untilthe high pitched harmonies in the chorus, which were really making me wince by the end..

Still:

1) Dire Straits - Sultans of Swing
2) Stevie Ray Vaughan - Texas Flood
3) Mark Knopfler - Sailing to Philadelphia
4) Counting Crows - August and Everything after (How original am I?)
5) Paul Gilbert - Alligator Farm
6) Iron Maiden - Powerslave
7) Thunder - Shooting at the Sun
8) Eric Johnson - Ah Via Musicom
9) Joe Satriani - Surfing with the Alien
10) Steve Vai - Alien Love Secrets

Tabitha's Secret - Don't Play with Matches also deserves a place. This isn't really in order of preference, I love them all, but straits would probably be top. Communiqué if I had to choose a single album.

ryan adams:gold it was my eleventh choice,i just think it was too long,and frankly it couldnt keep to the standard of the the first seven tracks.
i remember hearing damien rice at glastobury where he performed volcano,and i know i loved it but i cant remember for the life of me,what it sounded like.i might get round to buying it at some point.

But picking just 10 isn't easy.

Damien Rice - 'O'
Matchbox 20 - Yourself or someone like you
Maroon 5 - Songs about Jane
Led Zepplin - Box set
Creedence Clearwater Revival - Chronicles
