My Dad's Cd Book
Since someone else did Father's CD Collection; I thought it would be good to do my dad's CD book. He's about 48, and enjoys a lot of rock. He's open-minded, loves 70s, 80s, 90s, and not much of the 2000s. |
| 1 |  | Smashing Pumpkins
Siamese Dream
He insists this is the best rock album ever. He's the person who got me into the Smashing Pumpkins; this is his favorite album ever. Doesn't really dig the rest of their stuff, but absolutely loves this album. |
| 2 |  | Nirvana
In Utero
He didn't like Nevermind that much, but likes the dark 'vibe' of In Utero and the way it flows. The album really is very good though. |
| 3 |  | Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
Greatest Hits
We used to get in arguments all the time because I hate Tom Petty. His music is so elementary and his voice is so bad. |
| 4 |  | Pearl Jam
Vitalogy
He loved how much it was so different than Ten...so much more upbeat, rock, and 'raw'. He liked Eddie Vedder's voice a lot in this album as well. |
| 5 |  | Eagles
The Very Best Of...
Hotel California may be his favorite song of all time...and it is a good song. So is Desperado. But I don't like Eagles that much, so I'll pass. |
| 6 |  | Pearl Jam
Vs.
One of the best Pearl Jam album is just so good...Elderly Woman Behind the Counter is amazing. |
| 7 |  | Pink Floyd
Dark Side of the Moon
Loves how this album flows so well...he has a Master Recording on vinyl...plays it really loud and falls asleep or...unconscious? |
| 8 |  | Led Zeppelin
Led Zeppelin IV
Never a big Led Zeppelin fan but absolutely loved this album. |
| 9 |  | The Doors
Morrison Hotel
Been through four copies; at least that's what he told me. His favorite album as a teenager. |
| 10 |  | Metallica
St. Anger
Don't know what the love affair with St. Anger is. This album sucks. |
| 11 |  | Nirvana
MTV Unplugged in New York
The best Unplugged album hands down. |
| 12 |  | Stone Temple Pilots
Core
Crackerman is my Dad's favorite STP song. |
| 13 |  | Soundgarden
Down on the Upside
Likes Down on the Upside just a little bit more than Superunknown because he loves Pretty Noose. |
| 14 |  | Pink Floyd
Animals
The way this album flows is astonishing to him. |
| 15 |  | Rush
2112
The epic 2112 may be corny but the drumming is unbelievable and Geddy Lee's vocals are astonishingly awesome. |
| 16 |  | Nirvana
Bleach
He loved how raw this album was. |
| 17 |  | Pearl Jam
Yield
He bought the album for Given to Fly and didn't really dig the rest that much but says its still solid. |
| 18 |  | Nine Inch Nails
Pretty Hate Machine
Head Like a Hole was an amazing song when it came out. He said it was so much harder and different than anything else at the time. |
| 19 |  | Pink Floyd
The Wall
Won't tell me why he enjoyed this album so much...(you know why...) |
| 20 |  | Alice in Chains
Unplugged
Very good unplugged album even though Layne Staley screwed up so many songs. |
