Joel's list:
1. Rubber Soul - The Beatles
Where The Beatles and George Martin together reached their highest potential for the first time. The whola album sounds amazing and is impossible to get tired of.
Top Tracks:
In My Life, The Word, Michelle
I´m Looking Through You, You Won´t See Me,
If I Needed Someone, Think For Yourself
Label: Parlophone
2. Band On The Run
Recorded in Africa (Lagos, Nigeria) with just Paul, Linda, Denny and Geoff Emerick as engineer. Great vibes over the whole album! Top Tracks:
Band On the Run
Picassos Last Words
Nineteen hundred and eighty-five
Bluebird
Mrs. Vandebilt
Label: Apple Records
3. A Hard Day's Night - The Beatles
The first album I heard with The Beatles and still one of my favorites. Never gets old. Love the cover and love the songs. I Should have known better will always be a personal favorite. Other top tracks on the European release:
When I Get Home
I'm Happy Just To Dance With You
Things We Said Today
Any Time At All
I'll Be Back
Label: Parlophone
4. Walls And Bridges - John Lennon
1974, the lost weekend. Recorded in New York during the summer. Probably the most interesting album of John since it contains such high and low, fast and slow, calm and wild compositions which also reflects the actual lifestyle during the lost weekend. Top tracks:
Whatever Gets You Through The Night
Surprise, Surprise
What You Got
Old Dirt Road
Nobody Loves You (When You're Down And Out)
Label: Apple Records
5. Hot Rats - Frank Zappa
Frank Zappa, 1969. After the dissolution of the original Mothers Of Invention. This is a instrumental masterpiece (except the vocals from Captain Beefheart on the track Willie The Pimp). On a dessert Island you will listen to the albums over and over again, and that´s why this is a great pick because you can always find something new while listening to Peaches en Regalia or Son Of Mr. Green Genes.
Label: Bizarre Records
6. Can't Buy A Thrill - Steely Dan
The first album of Steely Dan (1972). Nothing ever sounded more Los Angeles than this album. A complete masterpiece and a bit underrated by the general public in my opinion.
Top Tracks:
Dirty Work
Do it Again
Only A Fool Would Say That
Change Of The Guard
Midnite Cruiser
Kings
Label: ABC Records
7. Revolver - The Beatles
Timeless album from 1966 with the black and white album cover made by Klaus Voormann, If you have to choose one Beatle-album this is a good choice since it´s right in the middle, between the early years and the late records. Top Tracks:
I'm Only Sleeping
For No One
She Said She Said
Eleanor Rigby
And You're Bird Can Sing
Label: Parlophone
8. Hunky Dory - David Bowie
Released in 1971, this is the Bowie-album which he will be remembered by for many generations to come. Mick Ronson on guitar sounds better than ever and Bowies songwriting reached all-time high on the top tracks such as:
Changes
Life On Mars
Oh You pretty Things
Kooks
Fill Your Heart
Label: RCA Records
9. Blood On The Tracks - Bob Dylan
On a desert island you will need some Bob Dylan. So that's why I choose this album from 1975. Tuned in E, recorded with his brother in Minneapolis.
Top Tracks:
Simple Twist Of Faith
Tangled Up In Blue
You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go
Shelter From The Storm
Label: Columbia
10. Cycles - Frank Sinatra
A man and his music. Never better illustrated than on this Sinatra-album from 1968.
Top Tracks:
Little Green Apples
Cycles
Gentle On My Mind
Wandering
Both Sides Now
Label: Universal
