I hate these lists because this changes daily for me...but these are usually at least in the top 20

 

Creds for Times a Changin'. Only a Pawn in Their Game is in the top 5 Dylan tracks for me

Also for NMH. That album is unbreakable and does not age

If it changes daily then you're missing the point, and aren't very solid in your choices. ; )

C'mon, man. Give me 10 albums that you can put on a list and go "Yeah, those are it. Those are the albums I want forever on repeat". It's meant to be challenging. If it's an album you think you might switch out for another one tomorrow, don't use it. Anyone can make 10 albums that could be changed tomorrow.

 

I mean c'mon, you really want to have 4 or 5 out of the 10 albums you listen to for the rest of your life be weak ass pop punk? Naaaahhhhh. You think you'll want to listen to the fucking Wonder Years when you're 40. Haha.

Said this in Small Talk when we were talking about Futures (which is easily my favorite Jimmy album): 23 just reminds me of all the bad break ups in my life, and sucker punches me in the face so hard. I remember breaking up with my girlfriend at the time after I found out she cheated on me. We were living together at the time, so I grabbed my records (not many at the time), my skateboard, and my car keys and got the fuck out of there. It was raining so hard so I sprinted to my car, hoped in, and plugged in my iPod and 23 came on. It hit my like a ton of bricks. Ever since, that song hurts to listen to, but I like that it does now.

Damn, I gotta start visiting Small Talk more often. I could talk about Futures for days. It has so much depth and variety to it. It's one of the lesser known songs from it, but The World You Love hits me the exact same way 23 does you. It's hard for me to listen to that song now.

(Small Talk isn't always a snooze fest. I try to throw music topics out as much as possible. I'll probably make more of these threads too.)

I think it might be the most emotional song for me. It just resonates with me like no other. That song aside, that whole album is so fucking solid. I was so glad when it got reissued.

I would go with S/T over Raw Power, but both are fucking incredible. I think S/T is one of the most influential albums of all time. Not just for me, but for music as a whole.

 

I actually counterpoint on you for this one. I go with Funhouse above the other two, followed by Raw Power and S/T
