You an I have very similar tastes. My wife is a Tori Amos fan. I haven't listened to much of Arcade Fire, but I will have to take a closer look now.

When I was dating my now wife, she couldn't understand how I enjoyed Sigur Ros so much as their lyrics are either Icelandic or made up. She then accompanied me to a show during Hvarf/Heim and she completely flipped her script. Hoppípolla was played at our wedding.

Your list is pretty close. I might swap The Bends for In Rainbows, White Album for Revolver, and add Death Cab's Transatlanticism somewhere but that's about it. If you'd have told me I'd spend my 1,000th post 10 years ago talking about Sigur Ros I'd laugh at you, but here we are.

Happy Collecting

Blue Oyster Cult -Fire of unknown origin
Jim Croce- Greatest hits

One I forgot to mention and I'm sure will leave a lot of head scratching. If I had two Wagners I'd give one to someone if they honestly knew who this band was.


Truckfighters - Gravity X

[Beatles Guy]

I was listening to Queen's "A Night At The Opera" last night on vinyl (yes vinyl), and that one is creeping ever so closely to my top 10.

Good stuff. They didn't make my list, but my son's middle name is Mercury. I figure that counts for something.

That counts My son's name is Jude if that tells you something about me and The Beatles

[darwinbulldog]

"Jude" himself:

I wanted to name my daughter Anastasia, but that was vetoed by my wife (decidedly not a Tori Amos fan). I'm guessing that might not have been a problem for you.

[Beatles Guy]

Not a problem at all. As soon as I suggested it, my wife said "that's it". She's a fan too

Our son's name is also Jude. Our new born daughter is Lyla taken from Oasis.

Anyone ever heard of a band called "For Squirrels"? They came out with an album in 1995, then they got into a horrible car accident and the lead singer died, maybe another band member too...not sure. Anyways...great album.

right they played in gainesville and i saw them a few times...Less than Jake also performed and Sister Hazel which is a group people know im sure
