^^ Nice list!

I figured that my list wasn't much help as it's not genre specific. What I will do to make it more useful is choose a track off every album and up them as two cd length compilations.

What else is needed in here?

Pop

im going to compile a list within the next week or try.

i need to correct the burning spear album...the title really is fittest of the fittest. and try to get at least some.

for that metal list with the images i can just go into edit mode and copy/paste it wherever i want.

This is just off the top.
peace

yeah i forgot about the jazz...i only did the miles davis tribute.

Reckon you could branch out a bit with the jazz. No need for that many Miles Davis albums. If someone likes the one you post they'll look for more.

No Jazz list is complete without Wes Montgomery either. Either 'Incredible Jazz Guitar Of...' or 'Willow Weep For Me' have to be on the list.

The old skool selection isn't really very early jazz either. Count Basie and co should be more like the first category.

Anyone think of posting all of the lists on the first post, it's kinda all over the place now.

i plan on going through the thread and making a new thread with everything more organized.

for wes, that incredible jazz guitar is one of the top 10 jazz albums.

miles davis will have his own tribute list.

No Diggity Doubt, then. Peace Pro.
