What are the top five albums that changed your life?


What about your top five books? Movies? People?


Gay and Mike share what THEIRS are and they’d love for you to share yours with them.


You’ll also hear the reason WHY these are their top, life-changing choices.


Gay says his “top 5’s” are all about genius and the people behind them releasing their pure creativity into the world. We want EVERYONE to get in touch with their OWN genius so that we live in a world of pure genius.


This is a really fun conversation that we know you're going to enjoy, so make sure to listen and watch this episode. 


Let’s start with Gay’s top 5 albums:

  1. The first Elvis Presley album (the one with Heartbreak Hotel.)
  2. Abbey Road by The Beatles.
  3. Nashville Skyline by Bob Dylan. 
  4. Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd. (Gay learned how to dance listening to this one)
  5. Barcelona, by Freddie Mercury. 
  6. BONUS ALBUM: The Third Symphony by Henryk Gorecki.

All of these albums came at significant points in Gay’s life and hold a special place in his heart. 


Here are Mike's top 5 albums while I was growing up:

  1. The Wall by Pink Floyd.
  2. On the Threshold of A Dream by The Moody Blues.
  3. The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking by Roger Waters.
  4. Synchronicity by The Police.
  5. Joe's Garage by Frank Zappa.
  6. BONUS ALBUM: Kind of Blue by Miles Davis

Mike doesn’t have big specific favorites anymore. He's a variety junkie. 


We recommend looking up Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. There are definitely albums that you may have forgotten about. Maybe it’ll inspire you to re-listen to some of your forgotten favorites.


Tune in and watch the whole episode to hear the rest of our top 5 lists including concerts, books, and people. We’ll give you a hint… some of them include Jimmy Hendricks, Led Zeppelin, Tinker “Tailor Soldier Spy” by John le Carré, “Awaken the Giant Within” by Tony Robbins, Jack Canfield, and Darren Hardy.


Gay and Mike can’t WAIT to hear your top 5’s! Make sure to send them a message. They read them ALL!
