pitchfork is dumb (#34985859340293849494 in a series.)

it should've been in the top ten

I like the list so far, only about halfway through. Probably will have to put together a spotify list that includes all full albums, as pfork only has a sampler list.

it was in mine

xp

my approach to my ballot was at least somewhat contrarian but dusty in memphis still sounds like glitter falling out of your speakers imo. undeniable record

http://pitchfork.com/news/jerry-seinfeld-announces-new-netflix-special/

lol came here to post that. right next to a story about Stranger Things

Should have at least ended that article with a YouTube video of the Seinfeld theme.

yeah i mean at least Stranger Things has the older brother that inexplicably has tapes of The Smiths in 1983 in Indiana

Jerry Seinfeld is coming to Netflix with a new hour-long special. It’s called Jerry Before Seinfeld, and it will feature previously unreleased material, including footage from his childhood and “a library of legal pads with every joke he’s written since 1975.”

Not the thread for it but who the hell is interested in that? "I'm Jerry Seinfeld, I tell jokes for a living and these are the ones from waaay back. Also some home videos."

I feel like something went horribly awry during the "Jerry shows his 'pads" pitch meeting and now.

lol

because the world demands it, joan crawford grades yr top ten of the 60s

Aretha - A, Aretha is automatic A deep into the 80s
Miles - A, but the Second Great Quintet is the 60s, it's called "Great" for a reason and Silent is...also great, but like...Miles playing straight jazz is also great, look into it
Revolver - no grade, haven't heard it, people say it's great though, I'm sure it's fine
James Brown Live at the Apollo - A. Come on this one's obvious
Blonde on Blonde - this album is way too long. B
Wild is the Wind - A
White Album - this album is also too long and has "Ob-La-Di." C+
A Love Supreme - A+, always even better than I remember
Pet Sounds - D, this album sucks so bad
Velvet Underground & Nico - B+, huge album obviously but can we just exhale & admit "Venus in Furs" is a slog and "Black Angel's Death Song" is like mandatory reading for a class

"want to see my secret fuck-pad?"

*approves special for $4 million*

"great. i don't tell profane jokes but i sure write them, check out this pad."

"oh noooooo"

admit "Venus in Furs" is a slog

not surprised by the rest of your comments but wasn't expecting this one tbh

I'm a serious jazzbo and beatnik

just thumbing through my well worn copy of On the Road and listening to Bird blow man

"Venus in Furs" is a slog
still get a thrill when this one starts. what an amazing sound.

he's a jazzbo, he's a booknerd, he's a beatnik! beatnik!

i saw the best minds of my generation dustyed by memphis

a love supreme is bad not good

vu self-titled okay but kind of slight

you're kind of slight

still get a thrill when this one starts. what an amazing sound.

otm especially during "I am tired" sequence

some cats don't dig Trane, but I love those sheets of sound just want to snuggle up in them and take a nap

I remember reading in the Trouser Press guide about a semi-joke '80s indie act called Proof of Utah who had a winky John Coltrane riff called "I Love Ice Cream" (say it out loud).

yea venus in furs is so good xps

wait im confused guys. are pet sounds and venus and furs good or bad?

I am weary.

....pets have....fur...

pets live on earth...which is a planet

venus is a planet...

think about it

before they could record all of these albums every artist had to...

plan it

I do appreciate the irony of a guy who just wrote an entire album about goths thinking that the ur-goth song is "a slog"

White Light White Heat is the best VU imo

i also always liked highway 61 more than blonde on blonde

live at birdland is 10x better than love supreme although that album is good

Freewheelin is my favorite. Blonde on Blonde is kind of a mess.

White Light White Heat is the best VU imo

me too

shoulda been a lil more CCR in that last imo

*list

if we're getting all canonical Highway 61 is undeniably the best of Dylan's "electric period" peak, all killer no filler

fave VU for me is (like Tyler) probably Live 1969 tbh

blonde on blonde is my favorite dylan and the white album is my favorite beatles but i love big messy double albums

i am kinda surprised at how conventional the top 10 is

10 years ago it would not have included Nina Simone and that's about the only big difference I can detect

yea Wild is the Wind is the only one that stuck out

61 is so great. best Dylan band easily. the garage junkyard act.

the intro to "Queen Jane Approximately" is magic. also the mandolin on "Desolation Row". the sky is opening up.

Nancy & Lee might have been higher if they'd done this several years ago. Hazlewood revival seems to have somewhat subsided.

the list needs more music from big pink

yup

agreeing w/d40 a lot today, White Light is peak, debut is a lot of good songs that'd be better with a better drummer

honestly I could grouse about Venus in Furs all day, even when I was a huge fan of Lou & the band I thought it was so basic. "I read a naughty book! here's some stuff I read in the naughty book."

Since they were explicitly trying to include albums with great singles, seems odd that Cosmo's Factory isn't on there/marcos otm.
