Top 5 Albums Of All Time And Why:

• 461 Ocean Boulevard – Eric Clapton
This album is probably one of his greatest creations Clapton has made. You can feel that he was able to do what he wanted with the album.

• Up To Here – The Tragically Hip
The first hip album I heard when my friend introduced me to the band. All in all their best album.

• Hillbilly Deluxe – Brooks & Dunn
HAAAAAA HOOOOOO HOOOOOO PLAY SOMETHING COUNTRY! This album is all about having fun and enjoying the good times in life.

• Audioslave – Audioslave
Everyone says that Out Of Exile was their best album I disagree. There is not one song on this album I don’t like, and in my opinion is that best that the Chris Cornell and the Rage band excluding the singer, has done.

This is just an explosive reaction to two of the greatest blues guitarist playing together.
