What Old People Listen To

Soeren asked me what I would consider the best albums of all time or most important to me. I decided both "best" and "important" were uninteresting (and best has already been done). I decided to list "favorite" instead, albums I like and listen to, even though they may not be the best, and maybe next week my list would be different. I did limit myself to one pick per artist. In order:

• Dirty Mind, Prince
• Rocket to Russia, Ramones
• Born to Run, Bruce Springsteen
• London Calling, The Clash
• Making Movies, Dire Straits
• Achtung Baby, U2
• Talk Show, Go-Go's
• Planet Punk, Die Ärzte
• So, Peter Gabriel

He listed nine, so I did too (though the 9th was the hardest to pick). For the moment I won't explain my choices, maybe later. Feel free to tell me in the comments why my picks suck.
