[new blog] my list for Deathbed Records…a contest

Every few months, American Songwriter magazine has what they call their “On My Deathbed” contest – you choose the ten albums that you will bring with you “to the other side.”

When you really start to think of it, ten is NOT that many to bring with you. And you start to try to figure out: “is it greedy to take TWO Pearl Jam albums?” “I can’t forget The Beatles” and “oh! that IS a great album.”

My suggestions: (not that I’m planning on it happening anytime soon, and I’m sure I could have added at least ten more)

not in ANY specific order:

1. Radiohead – The Bends
2. The Beatles – Revolver
3. Frank Turner – Love Ire & Song
4. Foo Fighters – Echoes, Silence, Patience, Grace
5. Pearl Jam – Ten (although I also would like to bring Pearl Jam and Lightning Bolt)
6. The Hold Steady – Stay Positive
7. Counting Crows – August & Everything After
8. Bruce Springsteen – Born To Run
9. Simon & Garfunkel – Bridge Over Troubled Water
10. Guns N Roses – Appetite For Destruction.

Now, this leaves off U2, Mumford, The Who, and the other 5 Frank Turner albums…

What would you add? what do you agree/disagree with? comment away 🙂

peace,
Dann
