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

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.

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.

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.

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'.

it’s a pretty awesome album apart from “she’s leaving home” and “when i’m 64”, imo

‘She’s Leaving Home’ is indeed good not bad.And sorry about Al, NV, his music is pleasant enough, it just makes me feel... nothing (I’d be on board with it if it made me feel the Nothing tho).

I generally don't listen to it all through in sequence fwiw.
Also, "When I'm 64" is amazing. I'm in the minority, I'm pretty sure, but I've tried to say why before.

then again i haven't listened much to albums beginning to end in an eternity

I do not get why Robert Johnson is singled out among the blues musicians of the 30s, except if for stupid mythology reasons, he's fine but listening to his whole recording discography in one go would be very repetitive and dull.

I also still like Sgt Pepper, do I need to be put on some sort of list?
Yeah, I like it as a resource to draw from. There are some very surprising and clever things going on in the playing and writing. Who do you put on or above his level? xp

I mean, you get two takes of half the songs. I never thought of it as a sequenced album like Rumours or something.xp

Son House is probably my fave old blues dude based on the names I'm acquainted with.

That list is mostly either a) albums I generally like or b) albums/musical acts IDG enough of AF about to listen to, but they're mostly very boring choices.
Sgt. Pooper is both the least good of the latter day Bettles albums and not even in the top, what, 30? 40? albums released in '67. Such a boring, dumb choice for number one, every time it's chosen as number one in anything.
