BlahBlahCafe - Jean-Michel Jarre forum

Ok, so this may have been posted before but i feel we need to update our thoughts.
i ask the impossible question... What are your top 5 favorite JMJ albums to date???? why do you think this, what is it about the albums make you think it deserves a place in your top five???

its a hard question isn't it.....

here are mine after a week of deliberation

1. Revolutions. (the most underrated album ever and in parts truly brilliant, BRITISH JARRE!!)
2. Rendez-Vouz (simply superb, AMERICAN JARRE!!)
3. Equinox (a masterpiece of epic proportions)
4. Chronologie (not perfect but still amazing)
5. Oxygene (it started the jarre revolution)

I don't have a top 5, not even a top 10. They are all brilliant in there own ways

1- EQUINOXE
2- OXYGENE
3- CHRONOLOGIE
4- Concert in China
5- Zoolook

Even Teo&Tea??

but I have the same, that I don't have the toplist of JMJ albums

I usually don't rate the albums like this, but if I had to it would be something like this:

1) Oxygene 7-13 (this simply has a nice balance and it was my first album)
2) Oxygene (When I look back on my first experiences with Jarre, part 2 and 4 come to my mind, but the other tracks are special as well but I rarely listen to part 5)
3) Equinoxe (Hard to describe, it's just full of power and nice melodies)
4) Zoolook (Ethnicolor does also bring back a lot of memories all the way back to my first years of life but this also has a nice vibe, besides being so different from everything)
5) Revolutions (full of many different mood categories. Tracks of this album also bring back memories)


A last note: Yes I do live in the past at times, but I also look at it as a source of inspiration.

1. Oxygene 7–13
2. Oxygène
3. Metamorphoses
4. Zoolook
5. GOL



The list stands at this moment but may vary in the future.

I like Vintage, T&T and T&T @4am, and a couple of others from that album. You dont have to like 'every' track from a album to like the album.

I really can't make any Top 5 lists. I only know that in my opinion, Equinoxe is his best album, Ethnicolor his most innovative and daring track and I dare to say that I like Oxygene 7-13 a bit more than Oxygene itself. Oh, and PLD should be counted in anyway.

Oxygene Live (the one on the LIYLR DVD)
Oxygene studio version
Oxygene 7-13
Rendez-Vous
Revolutions

(closely followed by Zoolook and Equinoxe together, its really difficult to pick just 5)
