i like a lot of these albums but there is something depressing about seeing the exact same titles lined up over and over again. i mean, i love pet sounds, i have plenty of fond personal memories attached to specific songs on that album, i even love the goofy cover photo, but i'm not sure we're doing it any favors by sticking it at the top of every damn list, yknow?

Only some singers, thank you very much.
I refuse to believe that the majority of us genuinely enjoy almost every single album on that list up until, say, #200.

Besides, you also need to consider the 80-odd titles I do like.

I think in the top 100 the only albums I don’t like at all are the Guns n Roses and the Sex Pistols ones.
Van Morrison and U2 albums in the top 100 I don’t hate but don’t really understand the appeal either. They seem highly overrated to me.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Tuesday, 15 September 2020 14:23 (three years ago) link
Astral Weeks is all-time and always will be imo, Moondance is pretty good too. The rest I can do without.
Anyway, you clearly have a bone to pick with the Irish.

people not liking stuff is fine, picking Moondance and Astral Weeks as better than any of the list of unapproved LPs above is... looking for a nice word than "wrong" here.

Hey I specified I don’t hate the u2 and Van Morrison albums. I even like some of the songs in there.
The only ones I can’t stand from there are GnR and Sex Pistols
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Tuesday, 15 September 2020 14:58 (three years ago) link
Honestly knowing myself only hating 2 out of 100 albums is a pretty good ratio.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Tuesday, 15 September 2020 15:02 (three years ago) link
Yeah but do you *really* enjoy all 98 of those? Like I said upthread, of the 40 I listed, I only really hate maybe about 5 tops, it's more a matter of feeling like I don't quite get everything there is to get in most of those instances.
― pomenitul, Tuesday, 15 September 2020 15:04 (three years ago) link
I mean at this point of my life I probably would only listen and rate highly around 10 out of 100 albums in there. The rest are overplayed beyond meaning now or I can see why they’re considered important but don’t really vibe with them.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Tuesday, 15 September 2020 15:08 (three years ago) link
I guess I wasn’t sufficiently forthcoming about my criteria. Most of the albums I didn’t list are those I’d be happy to hear again.
― pomenitul, Tuesday, 15 September 2020 15:11 (three years ago) link
Maybe a POX albums would be better then.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Tuesday, 15 September 2020 15:17 (three years ago) link
As in the 10 albums you'd retain out of the 500?
― pomenitul, Tuesday, 15 September 2020 15:18 (three years ago) link
Top 100, but yeah top 500 works too but it’s probably harder to pick only 10 out of 500.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Tuesday, 15 September 2020 15:29 (three years ago) link
If we're sticking to the top 100, I guess I'd go with:
The Doors – The DoorsThe Jimi Hendrix Experience – Are You Experienced?Led Zeppelin – Led Zeppelin IVMiles Davis – Kind of BluePink Floyd – Dark Side of the MoonRadiohead – Kid AThe Rolling Stones – Exile on Main St.Sly & The Family Stone – There's a Riot Goin' OnVan Morrison – Astral WeeksThe Velvet Underground & Nico – The Velvet Underground & Nico
No more than one album per act.
And I can't believe there's no Black Sabbath at all in their top 100, smh.
― pomenitul, Tuesday, 15 September 2020 15:37 (three years ago) link
Kid A is not in the top 100?
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Tuesday, 15 September 2020 15:40 (three years ago) link
Sticking to the top 100 this would be my pox
#35 David Bowie #58 Captain Beefheart#69 Curtis Mayfield#75 Led Zep#80 Zombies#82 Jimi Hendrix#89 Dusty Springfield#95 Creedence#99 Sly & the Family#100 Frank Sinatra

It is, somewhat unexpectedly (at #67). Yet OK Computer is not.

Huh? I got Billy Joel at 67 and Kid A at 428. But I am looking at the list on the opening post. I guess it got updated.

Yep, I've been working with the revised 2012 edition:

Ok so the list has remained pretty much the same but Sinatra is gone from the top 100 so I guess change that one for Kid A in my POX
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Tuesday, 15 September 2020 15:57 (three years ago) link
POX, one album per artist, in the order they're listed:
Pet SoundsThe Velvet Underground & NicoNevermindRobert Johnson’s The Complete RecordingsBlueElectric LadylandKid ALed Zeppelin IVBitches Brew
― The nexus of the crisis and the origin of storms (Sund4r), Tuesday, 15 September 2020 16:01 (three years ago) link
From your list I like pretty much all the artists but my favorite albums from them are not those. I’d pick these as my favorite albums by them:
The Jimi Hendrix Experience – AxisLed Zeppelin – Led Zeppelin IIMiles Davis – In A Silent WayPink Floyd – MeddleThe Velvet Underground - Loaded
Yeah I’m one of those weird people who thinks Loaded is the best VU album.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Tuesday, 15 September 2020 16:03 (three years ago) link
If those were in the top 100 I’d definitley pick them.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Tuesday, 15 September 2020 16:04 (three years ago) link
I wavered between Kind of Blue and Bitches Brew but I've spent so much time with the former that picking the latter would've felt like a betrayal.
I almost added Nevermind but I'm just so much more partial to In utero.
I love Robert Johnson but I've always struggled with the sequencing on that one.

― pomenitul, Tuesday, 15 September 2020 16:05 (three years ago) link
As amazing as Meddle is, Dark Side of the Moon is one of the very first albums I ever listened to in its entirety, at the age of 5 or 6, and nothing can supplant that kind of chronological precedence.
― pomenitul, Tuesday, 15 September 2020 16:07 (three years ago) link
I do prefer IASW and In Utero but neither was in the top 100.
― The nexus of the crisis and the origin of storms (Sund4r), Tuesday, 15 September 2020 16:09 (three years ago) link
Yeah In Utero def more of an impact in my life than Nevermind.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Tuesday, 15 September 2020 16:18 (three years ago) link
DSOTM was also very influential in my early teens and I think it’s brilliant but it’s one of those overplayed beyond meaning albums for me. I’m never in the mood to listen to it again.

See, that's where they're OTM. (I picked the white album in my POX mainly out of personal nostalgic associations but this is one album where I'm all for the canonical assessment.)
― The nexus of the crisis and the origin of storms (Sund4r), Tuesday, 15 September 2020 17:35 (three years ago) link
I've bitched about this elsewhere and I've already shit this thread up enough, but Beatles LPs are invariably inconsistent to my ears and Sgt. Pepper is no exception. Half of the material just feels inconsequential, even in context. Side 2 in particular is a slog, aside from 'Within You Without You' and, of course, 'A Day in the Life'.
― pomenitul, Tuesday, 15 September 2020 17:41 (three years ago) link
it’s a pretty awesome album apart from “she’s leaving home” and “when i’m 64”, imo
