<p>Your ten favorite records, to which you must listen for the rest of your life. Easy enough, right? List `em here. (And don't fret about listing influential or 'culturally relevant' records -- just the ones you enjoy. The Velvet Underground is, by most standards, more influential than Donovan -- but hell, I'd rather listen to Donovan.)</p>
<p>My list:
The Flaming Lips - "The Soft Bulletin"
Talk Talk - "Laughing Stock"
Radiohead - "OK Computer"
The Olivia Tremor Control - "Black Foliage"
The Flaming Lips - "Zaireeka"
Madvillain - "Madvillainy"
U2 - "Achtung Baby"
Pixies - "Doolittle"
Talking Heads - "Remain In Light"
Wilco - "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot"</p>
<p>(honorable mentions:
Joanna Newsom - "Ys"
The Beatles - "The Beatles" (White Album)
Sonic Youth - "Daydream Nation"
Can - "Future Days"
XTC - "Skylarking"
Jellyfish - "Spilt Milk")</p>
<p>U2 -- The Joshua Tree
Oasis -- (What's the Story) Morning Glory?
Fleetwood Mac -- Rumours
The Moulin Rouge soundtrack
Babyshambles -- Shotter's Nation
Coldplay -- Parachutes
Elvis Costello -- My Aim is True</p>
<p>If I had unlimited room, I'd also bring: Steely Dan, more Coldplay, some Dave Matthews Band, some cheesy pop and my entire classical music collection (it's pretty big.)</p>
<p>On a side note, my dad used to be in a band with one of the guys from Jellyfish...</p>
<p>Lol, they weren't famous or anything. I think it was in high school. The same guy now does the music for cartoons. I'm not sure if that's cool or sad.</p>
<p>I'll definitely have to think about this. I love Coldplay and The Beatles. My mom was really good friends with Kim Deal from the Pixies and her twin sister in high school.</p>
