One of my favorite parts of Nick Hornby’s great book, High Fidelity (and the movie adaption with John Cusack was pretty good too, but his books are better), are his Top 5 lits.

So here’s my first one. Inspiration hit me last night when flipping through the radio dial (If I hear Coldplay’s new live song one more time….) and I heard Prince’s Purple Rain.

Here we go, Top 5 Albums (yes, I said albums, this is the 80’s, and I’m talking a complete record here, not one with just 2 good songs, in no particular order:

1. Prince – Soundtrack to Purple Rain

2. INXS – Kick

3. Def Leppard – Hysteria

4. Van Halen – 1984

5. Depeche Mode – 101

There’s so many other ones that I could mention, but those are my personal faves.
