JAZZ IS LIKE HEROIN TO ME ! ! ! ~~~~ ILM POST-1945 JAZZ ALBUMS POLL - THE RESULTS COUNTDOWN (now counting top 25!)

Who said anything about "extra credit"? The album placed at #143 (and it was #60 in my ballot), it's not like we voted it to top ten or something.

who said anything about 'not featuring anything weird' ... im talking about 18 sun ra albums making a list that has 'live at birdland' near the bottom of the 250

o superman is great!!! (can't believe the o superman argument has spilled over into this poll thread lol)

Don't worry Deej, I'm sure there'll be much more Coltrane than Sun Ra in the actual top 100.

i voted for this, one of my fave HH albums, admittedly it's more a funk album, but hey

Tijuana Moods was one of my top picks. I think I nommed that, too.

138    Pharoah Sanders - Jewels of Thought (1969)  637 Points, 6 votes

Kinda disappointed at that one placing so low; it's arguably even better than Karma (which suffers from a weaker second track, unlike Jewels of Thought).

I voted for Jewels of Thought although it was the lowest-ranked of the four Sanders albums in my list.

Really enjoying the poll so far by the way - not got around to posting before now but have been busy noting down/listening to some of the many albums I've not heard. Natural Black Inventions: Root Strata has impressed me the most so far but also really enjoyed Brown Rice and Stone Flower. So much beautiful cover art on the thread already too.

brown rice is a great record, so is the rollins

oh man i love sonny rollins
awesome cover

yeah way out west is a cool example of taking what seems like a pretty questionable concept and making amazing music anyway. love the spareness of the trio sound here, rollins doesn't need a piano to sound huge.

i remember reading some interview with the photographer of the way out west cover and him saying that through the whole shoot rollins was like "are you fucking kidding me." you can kind of see that in his expression. but then later he told the photog he loved the end result.

Haha, that's funny. Such a great record.

next one is dedicated to deej

135 Sun Ra - The Heliocentric Worlds Of Vol 2 (1966) 659 Points, 8 votes

sun ra feat. charles mingus - celebrating krautrock

"One of the things I used to love about buying records was that thing where you just can't get hold of the stuff you want- like now, where people go round every dance shop in London, or every indie shop in London for some American import, until finally you find it, and it's like - 'YES! I've got it!' And then that record really becomes a part of your life. And I used to get that with Sun Ra. I got really into that sort of way-out avant-garde jazz, but you couldn't find his records anywhere. So, one day I was in a jazz shop in Chicago -which I think is where Sun Ra came from - and I said, 'have you got any Sun Ra?' The guy says, 'Yeah, all his stuff.' I said, 'give me everything.' 'Everything?' 'Yeah.' He comes back with 250 albums. Most of which I've still got in that room over there, still in the shrink-wrap."

-- Pete Townshend, picking this as one of his 10 favorite records

BRILLIANT album

Sounds like it was Jazz Record Mart Townsend spoke of. I wonder what year that was!

^ I was thinking the same thing! My guess is around 1967. He has also said that he listened to Heliocentric Worlds while writing the songs for My Generation, so he probably had that one Ra record, then tried to find all the others.
