Lou Plummer: List 10 albums that have stayed with you over the years in some way.

A fun question but impossible. For example, R.E.M - well, I could just as easily list any of their first 10 albums: Life’s Rich Pageant, yes please. Reckoning. Uh huh. Document? Sure. But for the moment, I’ll choose Green.

But I could say the same for many of the others on the list. And no, I’m not stopping at 10.

  1. Green - R.E.M.
  2. Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me - The Cure
  3. John Lennon - Imagine
  4. Sinead O’Connor - The Lion and the Cobra
  5. Chumbawamba - Anarchy
  6. Poi Dog Pondering - Poi Dog Pondering
  7. The Beatles - Sgt. Peppers
  8. Tracy Chapman - Tracy Chapman
  9. Lisa Hannigan - Sea Sew
  10. Rage Against the Machine - RATM
  11. Billy Bragg - The Internationale
  12. Utah Phillips - Fellow Worker
  13. The B-52’s - Cosmic Thing
  14. Peter Gabriel - So
  15. Sting - The Dream of the Blue Turtles
  16. Prince - Purple Rain
  17. Cat Stevens - Peace Train
  18. James Taylor - Sweet Baby James
  19. Willie Nelson - Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain
  20. Neil Diamond - Sweet Caroline

That’ll do for now. So many more.
