my arbitrary list of favorite records since the dawn of the LP era.

I know!

market square vs tonight's the night for me but that seems like a very odd lady or the tiger to make

Awesome list, voted Karma

market square & tonight's the night = you like record covers with black backgrounds & grayscale imagery?

hounds of love! but your prayer is gonna be undersung alas

and black & grey sounds inside

xp

looking forward to listening to the ones i haven't heard of on this list!

(like...Homegas, Virgin Insanity, others)

hmmm bright lights v tusk v hangman's in the world series of love

have to vote for 'tusk' or 'tonight's the night' or 'money jungle' or 'bright lights'

impeccable list!

slanted and enchanted

but i was just listening to YOUR PRAYER on youtube on my phone in bed last night as annie was trying to go to sleep. i need that one!

this guy, right here^^^^

I'm using this as a playlist/guide

i will play any of these records for anyone who wants to come over and hang out anytime. i'll even pick up a six pack if i know yer coming.

guess i wd have to go w/ most listened, ie Thompsons over Pavement

that surprises me morbs.
sorry i did not put painful by the yo la tengos on this list for you to vote for.

might take u up on that Memorial Day weekend?

that's OK, Electr-O-Pura is my favorite.

memorial day weekend! come hang out!

electropura is a great record too.

I'm voting for the Dead just cuz.
Was kind of expecting to not know as many of these. I figure everyone on ILM knows more than me.
Need that damn Homegas.

trips, you know tons about records! and we love a lot of the same ones, i know.

Your Prayer

hoo boy i gotta dig out that jandek record. er, CD.

voting beggars banquet just because i'm v pleased that that's the stones record you picked.

Don't think I can go with anything other than Private Parts.. need to listen to a few more of these I don't know.

many of my fave albums here, tusk/sinking of titanic/slanted & enchanted/black woman etc... but my dignity would be besmirched if i didn't vote for armchair boogie.

i wanna do a list like this now too!!

well go on then son

ok ok ill see what i can cook up

Beggars Banquet
Tusk
Alen Lanes

hubbs is the only person in history to die of smoking too much doobie

Who is Allen Laines?

Love seeing Guy Clark, Jerry Jeff Walker, Willis Allan Ramsey and Townes on this list. Some prime Texas music.

Northeast Texas Women is such a killer tune.

texas wimmin is texas gold
(don't tell me wifey.)

fyi i have never been to texas. except to pass thru el paso on the way to juarez

what was a nice boy like you doing in a place like juarez?

visiting my grandparents in new mexio & taking a day trip as a child.

circa 1996 or so.

fact: the cow skull purchased at a bazaar in juarez now hangs in the record store.

man i bet a list like this limited to texas alone would be awesome. so much of my favorite music came outta TX.

wow, that must have made an major impression, eh? i don't remember seeing a skull, but there is a lot of stuff to look at in there :)

easter everywhere

unhalfbricking

this list is weirdly representative of 2000-2010 for me

it might not even be the one that i'd listen to the most now

but i can't deny tonight's the night

that hit me SO HARD in college, like i went into another world

voting black woman even though it's not my favorite sharrock record (what does that even matter, it still towers unremittingly)

would've voted for rallizes denudes live 77

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

super-satisfied that American Beauty and After the Gold Rush are tied for third; I always lump those two together in my mind

Michael Nesmith 'And The Hits Just Keep On Comin' 0

this album is killing me lately! so so good
