#433.5: Top 15 on the 15th (by Uncle Meat)

Getting More Tale #433.5 presents: A worldwide online event!
THE TOP 15 ON THE 15th – Guest shot by Uncle Meat

This is an event spanning many sites and writers in the World Wide Web.  I will link to as many as possible; my own Top 15 can be found here.  A few months ago, the challenge was thrown down to all comers:  List your top 15 albums of all time!  The date September 15 was chosen for the deadline.

Uncle Meat laboured hard on his Top 15, eventually whittling it down from a list of 31 great records*.  Without any commentary, here they are.  His only requirement:  No live albums.

PET3. Pet Sounds – The Beach Boys

        2. The puns never stop. You might find yourself thinking, you know, “I Just Wasn’t Made For These Times”, but really you should think hey, That’s Not Me. I know that You Still Believe In Me. I know There’s An Answer. So relax. Don’t Talk (Put Your Head On My Shoulder). We’ll get through these puns just fine! :)

  9. I’m another who needs to give El Corazon another listen. Haven’t listened to it in a long time. As well as that, I’m fairly certain Screaming For Vengeance would have made my list if I discovered it a few years ago. Briliiant, brilliant, brilliant album.

    1. When thinking about this list .. I tried to remember what specific albums.. at one point and time .. were my favorite albums. Screaming For Vengeance was my favorite album for a few years. Until it got tossed away by Metallica .. ( in which i have none .. but i do have a Megadeth ..hmmm… interesting ,.) and the rest of the thrash ..(Anthrax .. Slayer .. Mercyful Fate … damn! I forgot about Mercyful Fate!!!! )
