The Note:
There are only three things you can get at a parlor nowadays...tattoos, ice cream and funerals. (EDIT...you can also get massages, and apparently billards, if Melcher can be trusted)
The Question:
What are the Top Ten albums that have been released in your lifetime? By Top Ten, I don't mean culturally significant, so if you don't like Dr. Dre's The Chronic or Nirvana's Nevermind, then don't put it on your list, but just what you think are the best albums since you've been alive. So for me, I can go back to October 21, 1979, but nothing before. Here's mine:
Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
Violent Femmes - Violent Femmes
Bruce Springsteen - Nebraska
Radiohead - OK Computer
The Cure - Disintegration
They Might Be Giants - Flood
Nirvana - Nevermind
U2 - The Joshua Tree
Beck - Odelay
AC/DC - Back in Black
If I had eleven spots, I'd put in Neko Case - Fox Confessor Brings the Flood.

Billiards is sometimes in a parlor, though pool's usually in a hall. All I know is the things worth one's time and attention are all in boutiques, baby.
The Top Ten that mean something to me or of artistic significance? "Ten" by Pearl Jam, "The Joshua Tree" by U2 and "Thriller" by Michael Jackson all spring to mind. So does the "Ghostbusters II" soundtrack. I loves me the Doug E. Fresh.
I liked this question a whole lot. My ten are: Joshua Tree and All That You Can’t Leave Behind both by U2; Melon Collie & the Infinite Sadness by Smashing Pumpkins (I count it as 1); Thriller by Michael Jackson; Nevermind by Nirvana; Yankee Hotel Foxtrot by Wilco; Ten by Pearl Jam; Ænima by Tool; Flood by TMBG and Dookie by Green Day. These are in no way ordered in their goodness, but I think they’re all awesome.
And on a side note, Bryan, here’s the wikipedia entry for the Æ:
Æ (minuscule: æ) is a grapheme formed from the letters a and e. Originally a ligature representing a Latin diphthong, it has been promoted to the full status of a letter in the alphabets of many languages.
In no particular order:
East Nashville Skyline by Todd Snider
Yankee Hotel Foxtrot by Wilco
Elephant by The White Stripes
This Year's Model by Elvis Costello
1922 by Charlie Parr
Mermaid Avenue by Billy Bragg and Wilco
Joe's Garage by Frank Zappa
Born in the USA by Bruce Springsteen
American Recordings by Johnny Cash
Ten by Pearl Jam
London Calling by The Clash
If I had been born 3 weeks earlier I could have included The Last Waltz by the Band...but I wasn't...so I couldn't
Where's Amy Grant?
Mitch
Oh, if this were a Top 25 singles in my lifetime, then Amy Grant is on there, without a doubt. But I'd have the say that the Heart in Motion record, while solid, is not in my top ten.
I have to put a little edit into mine....Take off the "All That You Can't Leave Behind" by U2 and put in "Disintegration" by The Cure. I hope my fellow Cure fans don't flog me too much for the omission.
Good Question
1. Metallica (Metallica)
2. 2PAC (Me Against the World)

7. Jack Johnson - Brushfire Fairytales
8. Creed - My Own Prison (quit laughing, and listen to their first cd)
9. Pearl Jam - Ten
10. Snow Patrol- Eyes Open
