What's the game then?
― Tim F, Friday, 17 August 2012 13:25 (9 months ago) Permalink
Radiohead were on mine originally but fell off as i remembered other stuff i listen to more that I'd forgotten to include.
I'd probably put the solo Yorke album on before a ~Radiohead album~ at number 100 just to be ornery.
It would just take me too long. And my list would be too all over the place and "Sugababes! School of Seven Bells! Ellen Allien! Missy E!" maybe I'll give it a try later tonight.
― Shepton Mullet (White Chocolate Cheesecake), Friday, 17 August 2012 13:26 (9 months ago) Permalink
yeah i want to know what the game is too.
i'm terrified i've missed something off mine. it's funny when i do lists like this because around the 30-50 mark I start thinking "There must be at least some other OUTSTANDING albums I can think of from the last 15 years" but no, it's like your Facebook friendslist, you might have 600 of them, but only about 10 you might consider to be true friends.

You lot have known me for 12 years and you can't figure out what the game is?
― Shepton Mullet (White Chocolate Cheesecake), Friday, 17 August 2012 13:30 (9 months ago) Permalink
I think OK Computer would probably be top 10 in any list I put together but any other Radiohead is unlikely. It feels really weird to be comparing anything that old to, say, the Katy B album and putting them in the same list.
― Matt DC, Friday, 17 August 2012 13:31 (9 months ago) Permalink
Yeah, I mean Katy B is so obviously completely superior it would be an insult to her to stick something as stale as OK Computer next to her.

Also there's like four albums from 1996 that I'd put in there but that might has well be prehistoric.
― Matt DC, Friday, 17 August 2012 13:33 (9 months ago) Permalink
It does. I can appreciate an "albums of all time" type thing, but these are records that came out within my lifetime. That said I had very different tastes in 1996 as I did in 2004 as I do now, and trying to work out where Pearl Jam's Yield fits in compared to Nicolas Jaar is just o_O

1996 stuff like Reasonable Doubt and ATLiens is missing from the list but it's probably because p4k didn't review that kind of thing back then

I am having big cognitive dissonance putting late 90s favourites on a list with stuff from last year. The world is different. I am different. Magical World of The Strands!

In Rainbows has totally cemented itself as my favourite Radiohead over the last 2 years.

This isn't saying "what are your ten favourite records right now" though, it's asking what are your 100 from the last 16 years... I'm vaguely trying to weight long-term affection alongside 'just this minute' excitement.

it isn't what are you fav records right now that were released in the last 16 years?

One thing that surprised me about my own list was the relative lack of capital-P Pop albums.
I mean I love 'Blackout' and 'Chemistry' and 'The Fame Monster' and 'Robyn' and so on and so forth but somehow none cracked top 100. The closest was Sugababes' 'Three' which like two dozen albums it saddened me to leave off.

Tuomas comes in second in my game. (Alfred and Tom still tied for winning.)
― Shepton Mullet (White Chocolate Cheesecake), Friday, 17 August 2012 14:03 (9 months ago) Permalink
Capital-P Pop albums, in my mind, burn brightly and then fade quickly; that's part of their appeal. There are loads of albums by the likes of Timberlake, Sugababes, Missy, Neptunes, etc etc, that I loved at the time and still have favourite songs from, but which I never go back to "as an album" and take in the whole thing; consequently pretty much none of them are on my list. Whether that speaks to anything about me, or whether it speaks to anything about the nature of art and personal canons and musical longevity, is a thing people have been trying to unravel for aeons. But I don't go back to that second Sugababes album anymore than I go back to World Clique by Deee-Lite, even if each album has individual song/s I will love forever on it.

I included no album on which I didn't love without reservations at least six tracks.

I don't think that's just a facet of Capital-P Pop albums. There's a lot of Capital-R Rock albums which I was obsessed with in the late 90s which I have no urge to revisit more than 1 track off. And listening to Miss E So Addictive the other day, which you dismiss as a one-song Pop album, listening to that all of a piece for the poll the other day, it stood up as a work a lot more than I think you give it credit for.

ok i am making what looks like it could be a massive spotify playlist of things on ppls lists that interest me/ive never heard of before etc.
first can i say wow In Sides is incredible, ty Nick for having this so high up yr list. where has this record been all my life?
― a hoy hoy, Friday, 17 August 2012 14:13 (9 months ago) Permalink
xpost to Nick It's not that for me I think - and anyways there was heaps of R&B on my list (Missy and Kelis and Aaliyah and The-Dream and really Timberlake is in the category and so on).
If I had to guess I'd say it's that I'm so wired to receive Pop on a singles basis that even when you get these really solid and/or ambitious albums I don't end up connecting with them that way emotionally... e.g. ironically (given it's the kind of reaction one typically reserves for difficult rock canon albums) 'Chemistry' is an album I probably respect more than I listen to.
Even though I listen to 'Whole Lotta History' and 'Long Hot Summer' and (especially) b-side 'Singapore' a fair amount.
― Tim F, Friday, 17 August 2012 14:13 (9 months ago) Permalink
kind of curious what other lists i&others wld have devised if this had been framed differently: 'top 100 albums 96-11 selected after you've gone for a run /when yr watching Transformers 3/when yr v cold and need the toilet'
my week of listening to 100% women (mb 98% in practice) has been pretty banging though! v pleased to discover lena platonos
