The 48th season of the ukulele: The Greatest Albums Of All Time
For Season 15 Mattydee challenged us to cover one of the all time great albums, Sgt Pepper. This gave me the idea to pay tribute to some of the other great albums which almost always show up on people’s “Best Of” lists. There have been many Greatest Albums Of All Time lists published and I have compiled the list below based on the lists published by Rolling Stone, MOJO, VH1, National Association Of Recording Merchandisers, Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame, and Sound & Vision Magazine. Since what is considered to be a great album is so very subjective, I decided to induldge myself and create my own list of ten albums I have consitantly enjoyed time and time again through the years. Below are both lists, and here is your challenge:
Your task: Choose a song from any of the albums listed on either The Top Ten List OR UkuleleDaddy’s Top Ten List
Your prize: Either a set of Aquila strings or a T-shirt by the most rediculous excuse for a ukulele band, Toucan Sam & The Fruitloops (provided I can get the size you want). Runner up gets whatever the first place winner does not choose.
Rules and guidelines:
1. Your official entry has to be a new video created for this season.
2. Your entry must mention the 48th season of the ukulele.
3. Mention which album the song you are doing is from.
4. Only videos posted in this thread will be considered.
5. The ukulele must be featured front and center.
6. Your first entry is your official entry unless specifically stated. All other entries are bonus entries.
7. BONUS ENTRY: These can be any song from either list posted below OR choose a song from one of your own top ten favorite albums.
8. The deadline is Sunday, January 20th at 11:59 PM, HI time.
The Top Ten List (as compiled by different magazines):
Note: The Beatles – Sgt Pepper’s lonely Hearts Club Band would be on the list below but I chose to not include it due to the fact that the 15th Season covered every song from that album. You may however chose to do a song from that album as a bonus.
1. The Beatles - Revolver
2. The Beach Boys – Pet Sounds
3. Bob Dylan – Blonde On Blonde
4. The Rolling Stones – Exile On Main Street
5. Marvin Gaye – What’s Going On
6. Bob Dylan – Highway 61 Revisted
7. Led Zeppelin - IV
8. The Beatles – Rubber Soul
9. The Rolling Stones – Let It Bleed
10 . U2 – Joshua Tree
UkuleleDaddy’s List Of Ten Great Albums (which is in no particular order and just a sample of albums I love):
1. The Rolling Stones – Sticky Fingers
2. Led Zeppelin – I
3. The Beatles – Help!
4. The Kinks – Lola Vs Powerman & The Moneygoround
5. Neil Young – After The Gold Rush
6. Bruce Springsteen – Born To Run
7. The Moody Blues – On The Threshold Of A Dream
8. KISS – Destroyer
9. Fleetwood Mac – Rumors
10. Ryan Adams - Gold
And that's it! Now, let’s rock and roll!
