Looking to find some new/old music to listen to that I haven't heard. What are your 5 top favorite albums of all time? New, old, dead or alive. Please include your favorite Paul/Replacements album in the top 5. Thanks.
Follow up question:
If you had a chance to play some songs for Paul that you thought he had never heard before, but you think he might like, what would they be?

Picking a top 5 is kind of like picking a favorite child, but what the heck. Probably not gonna get any new listens from my list, but you never know.......the top two were easy for me but then the choices became a challenge.
1. The Replacements -- Tim
2. The Old 97's -- Too Far To Care
3. The Rolling Stones -- Sticky Fingers
4. Lucero -- 1372 Overton Park
5. The Hold Steady -- Separation Sunday
5a. Social Distortion -- Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell
5b. The Damnwells -- Bastards of the Beat
Yeah, I know, I cheated.........so sue me!

The Clash - Give 'em enough rope
Beatles - Rubber soul
CCR - Cosmo's factory
Pixies - Doolittle
Jimi Hendrix - Are you experienced?
Led Zepplin - Houses of the holy
Pavement - Wowee Zowee
X - Los Angeles
Jim Carroll - Catholic boy
Television - Marquee Moon
Stones - Exile on main street
Replacements - Let it be
Social Distortion - Sex love and rock n roll

Dylan - Blood On the Tracks
Dylan - Blonde On Blonde
Dylan - Empire Burlesque
Stones - Flowers
Westerberg - Stereo/Mono
I hedged a bit, Dylan actually takes all 5 positions, but I felt compelled to diversify!

Dylan - Blood On the Tracks... "Tangled Up in Blue" is one of my fave Dylan songs. And that's probably my fave Dylan album. |

Please include your favorite Paul/Replacements album in the top 5. Thanks. Boy, that's tough...Gonna have to expand it to 10, and the choices will by necessity be arbitrary and exclude at least 100 others that could easily be in there. - Bob Dylan "Bringing It All Back Home" - The Beatles "The White Album" - Led Zeppelin "Led Zeppelin II - David Bowie "Ziggy Stardust" - Mott the Hoople "All The Young Dudes" - Neil Young "Rust Never Sleeps" - The Sex Pistols "Never Mind The Bollocks" - The Replacements "Pleased To Meet Me" - R.E.M. "Lifes Rich Pageant" - Husker Du "Candy Apple Grey" - |

Follow up question: If you had a chance to play some songs for Paul that you thought he had never heard before, but think he would like, what would they be? I know Paul likes the Stones and I have always enjoyed Ron Wood's solo albums. I can hear Paul covering Mystifies Me and Lost and Lonely. |

Seasick Steve - Started Out With Nothing And Still Got Most Of It Left....This would amuse him the most. 2. Josh Ritter - Hello Starling (Bonus Acoustic Edition)....The writing would impress him the most. 3. The Avett Brothers, but only if he could see them in person, would get his mojo workin' the most. |

My top 5 isn't all that hard I don't think... most of these albums I bought over a period of 2 or 3 years as a teenager, and defined most of my musical tastes since then:
Soul Asylum - And The Horse They Rode In On
The Jayhawks - Sound of Lies
The Replacements - Let It Be
Big Star - Third/Sister Lovers
Two Cow Garage - Sweet Saint Me (although this is a new album, so it's hard to judge, but I think so far it's beating out speaking in cursive which says a lot)
Up until recently I normally included Paul's Suicaine Gratification in there, but I figured he's at least covered by Let It Be (I don't want to be including multiple albums by the same artist), and I've just been digging Two Cow too much to leave them out.

If you had a chance to play some songs for Paul that you thought he had never heard before, but you think he might like, what would they be? I completely missed part B of this... I'd actually want to go out on a limb for this one, and say Ray Wylie Hubbard's most recent album A Enlightenment, Be Endarkenment, (Hint there is no C). This album really has a feel I think grandpaboy would dig. It's bluesy, it's gritty, and it's just good rock and roll, doesn't get much better than that. Phil |

Part B is much tougher !
It is hard to imagine many great songs that Paul has not heard before. 30 years on and off the road guarantees that he has heard most anything worth hearing. But what the hell? I would cherry pick some of Vic Chesnutt's best songs and then throw in Neil Young's 'Flying on the ground is wrong' for good measure.

Replacements - Tim
Husker Du - New Day Rising
Prince - 1999
Misfits - Static Age
Whiskeytown - Strangers Almanac
5 of course is impossible. I'd probably have a different 5 tomorrow. As for songs I'd play Paul, that's really tough. I'd definitely make him listen to some Ryan Adams, since he's said he's never bothered. I used to think it would be a good idea to turn him on to some Fat Possum artists, but then he came out with Dead Man Shake, and it was obvious that that had already happened. I'll give a top five favorite songs that aren't on my top five albums, though I doubt Paul would be interested in many of them.
The Wrens - I've Made Enough Friends
Motorhead - R.A.M.O.N.E.S.
Noisettes - Iwe
R.L. Burnside - Alice Mae
Smudge - No Backbone
