to listen to for the rest of your life and only those 15, what would they be? mine are:

Brand New - Deja Entendu
Brand New - The Devil and God are raging inside me
Alanis Morrisette - Jagged Little Pill
Green Day - Dookie
Nirvana Unplugged in New York
Kings of Leon - Aha shake heartbrake
Pink Floyd - Dark side of the Moon
The Doors - The Doors
The Cranberries - Everyone else is doing it, so why can't we?
Coldplay - A rush of blood to the head
Mumford and sons - Sigh no more
The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses
ZZ Ward - 11 Roses
Arctic Monkeys - Whatever people say I am that's what I'm not
The Streets - Original Pirate Material


My choices are based on the fact that I love every song featured on all albums

Let's see if I can do this...
[LIST=1][*]The Sound of Arrows - 'Voyage'[*]The Killers - 'Sam's Town'[*]Kasabian - 'West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum'[*]Amy Macdonald - 'A Curious Thing'[*]Amy Macdonald - 'This Is The Life'[*]Mumford & Sons - 'Sigh No More'[*]Noah & The Whale - 'Last Night on Earth'[*]Of Monsters and Men - 'My Head Is An Animal'[*]Kasabian - 'Kasabian'[*]Imagine Dragons - 'Night Visions'[*]Lily Allen - 'Alright, Still'[*]M83 - 'Before The Dawn Heals Us'[*]Pendulum - 'Immersion'[*]Aiden Grimshaw - 'Misty Eye'[*]The Black Keys - 'El Camino'[/LIST]
And for the first time I put them in order. Feel free to interchange the Macdonald albums - they're pretty fluid in their amazingness.

There's some pretty recent releases on their too (Of Monsters and Men, Aiden Grimshaw) and it's rare albums make such and impression so early on. If you'd have asked me this on the day I got Grimshaw's album I'd probably have put it closer to the top though, so taking time with these things helps keep things in perspective.

Liking your music taste! Amy's albums are awesome! I would of chose Hot Fuss from the killers, but each to their own!
I couldn't put mine in order, it was way too hard... although Brand New is at the top cause they are my favourite ^.^

I can't put them in order, but I'm gonna make a pretty ecclectic list to keep me sane in the long road ahead

[LIST][*]Coldplay - A Rush Of Blood To The Head[*]John Mayer - Continuum[*]Leona Lewis - Echo[*]V V Brown - Travelling Like The Light[*]Ed Sheeran - +[*]Ben Howard - Every Kingdom[*]Daughtry - Daughtry[*]Daughtry - Leave This Town[*]P!nk - I'm Not Dead[*]Foo Fighters - Wasting Light[*]Kate Bush - The Whole Story[*]Lana Del Rey - Born To Die[*]Laura Izibor - Let The Truth Be told[*]Maroon 5 - Overexposed[*]Mary J. Blige - No More Drama[/LIST]

I'll definitely give Brand New a whirl then - I like a lot of what appears on your list too. And yeah Amy is great, but her last album wasn't quite up there with the rest for me (some of the songs I adore but as an album it just doesn't stack up to her previous efforts).

And The Killers one was a hard call. I've always said to people 'Hot Fuss' is my favourite and the less said about 'Day & Age' the better (only what? three/four good songs? leave it out, guys...), but recently I've come to realise I actually prefer 'Sam's Town', but was clueless as to why until I gave it some real thought yesterday. The reason I choose 'Sam's Town' over 'Hot Fuss' (which by the way, is an absolute stonker of an album - best début for a rock band in a long time) is because I feel a more personal connection with the lyrics from the album, particularly on songs like 'Read My Mind', 'Why Do I Keep Counting?', the title track, and 'This River Is Wild'. I felt 'Hot Fuss' was very flamboyant and whilst 'Sam's Town' was the bigger-sounding of the two, Brandon's lyrics became much more grounded and introspective.

1. Cher Lloyd - Sticks + Stones
2. Rihanna - Rated R
3. Rihanna - Talk That Talk
4. Beyonce - 4
5. Master Shortie - A.D.H.D
6. N-Dubz - Love. Live. Life
7. N-Dubz - Uncle B
8. N-Dubz - Against All Odds
9. BoA - BoA
10. Girlicious - Girlicous
11. Paramore - brand new eyes
12. Demi Lovato - Don't Forget
13. Demi Lovato - Unbroken
14. Justin Bieber - Believe
15. Forever The Sickest Kids - Underdog Alma Mater

I think I literally only like 3 of those! hahah


Ahh I see what you mean, I don't know I think because The Killers "Hot Fuss" was one of the albums I played on repeat when I was younger (When it was out I was only 10/11) Its stayed as my favourite from them since. Sams Town is a very good album though, and yes Day and Age isn't even worth the time! Lets hope thier new material is good
