I'm happier seeing Abbey Road at 5 than Sgt Peppers at 1 but I voted for The White Album, so there's that

brad its called beatlemania and its here to stay

It's been 5h and we're already at the point where not all messages are displayed. Thank you, RS, for resuscitating ILM. 🙏

should have gone with the beatles' red and blue albums, or maybe #1s, if we're including stuff like legend and the immaculate collection

Thank you, RS, for resuscitating ILM. 🙏

we're part of the problem, lists are like internet traffic flypaper and we're just proving to the venture capitalists who structure every waking moment of our lives that we want more

beatle divinities

i mean god bless merle haggard but putting his four-disc box set here is absurd

At least it's not Zaireeka.

The day one of these listmakers has the courage to include One Kiss Can Lead to Another is the day they finally have my undivided attention.

^^right?? (I feel silly agreeing w/everything O.L. sez here today, but...)

(I mean, I guess best ofs and box sets are okay but a multi-artist compilation that actually is one of the best 'albums' ever is crossing a line, I geddit, I geddit)

phony ILMania has bitten the dust

What can I say, morrisp, I'm seldom not right about everythign.

I'd be happy to talk about Xenakis but he didn't make the list.

Xenakis is fine and all, but where are the tunes?

What are the best Xenakis bangers?

why did we need 8 different polls to discuss the same topic tho

would rather a hundred vanity “my favorite albums” polls

Lol xp

Jonchaies absolutely bangs.

Try Pithoprakta.

Looks like we’ll need a poll

I'm down.

there's not an obvious Kind of Blue/Legend/Indestructible Beat* type token pick for Brazil

i think there is and it's Os Mutantes' self titled

or Africa Brasil. But every list *should* have Africa Brasil in it

I got to Pithoprakta first. There are definitely some banging sounds, thread has delivered

I'm all for focusing on Brazil but it's hardly the only country with a rich musical tradition that got the short end of the stick here.

'californication' was, in 2003, merely the 401st best album ever recorded; now it's 286th

Agreed! I got sick of scrolling but Japan was certainly underrepresented. Lots of Europe too

this is directly attributable to the growing influence of psychic spies from china that try to steal your mind's elation

lol

1. Yes, 'Close to the Edge'
2. ZEPPELIN IV
3. Pink Floyd, 'Dark Side of the Moon'

^ what the liberal elite is trying to suppress

I got to Pithoprakta first. There are definitely some banging sounds, thread has delivered

It's a good 'un.

_Jonchaies_ absolutely bangs.

I should hope not!

Try this as well for some literal banging:

No Pink Floyd in the top 50 is just criminal imo.

this does not rule

17. Kanye West, 'My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy'

not even a top 5 kanye west record

They didn't even put Legend at #420

A harry styles album from last year two spots above “here my dear” is one of those moments where I’m like ... hmm poptimism did go too far after all

Even putting aside the list I felt so cheated by that Harry Styles album. People were hyping it up like “he’s put a modern spin on glam and Fleetwood Mac and hall and oates” and it sounded like maroon 5 https://t.co/jtgntcruLF

music, as a whole, is very disappointing it seems.

man, that thing is really old home week… folks that ain't worked there in a long time or for them in a freelancing capacity in a long time showing up to shower hosannas, not to mention some who swore to never have anything to do with the mag ever again…

It can't help but be super-conservative, but I contributed to every single list they did from 2000-2004, and I am confident that the people who work there now and the longtime freelancers, all of whom do not consider themselves conservative one whit, are proud as fuck that this thing was produced without a thought to what Jann wenner would or would not like.

awesome, too bad it still comes off as list made by a bunch of narcs.

ABBA The Definitive Collection?? What the fuck even *is* that?? There's like, even a 33/3rd book about ‘Gold’. That’s hilarious I’m sorry. I mean they should have gone with Arrival anyway obvs.
