Let's poll... RYM's Top 50 Albums of All Time

RS's list is more progressive in some ways.

but, more significantly: The Queen Is Dead

I enjoy a lot of this list but ultimately voted for the last one on the list, 'Ride the Lightning.'

xp

more xs and ps

Loveless I guess

I guess, if I'm being honest, Dark Side of the Moon is my boring pick. It's been a reliable album this year.

gut instinct went with pet sounds, cause i've loved re-learning all those songs on the piano recently

They're inderectly responsible for a whole lot of generic "cresndocore" post-rock but Lift Your Skinny Fists holds up for me, beautiful album

more xs and ps

but, more significantly: _The Queen Is Dead_

voting for the album that features the most ODB verses

every album on this list that I like, I like a little less because of it appearing on this list

lol is it because it's RYM or because seeing them all huddled so close together is too normative for comfort?

Four Beatles albums sounds ok but four Radiohead albums? That is ridiculous. And there isn't even their by far best album - Amnesiac - there!

It's my second fave but its omission is indeed unforgivable.

This list looks like it was made by the Radiohead forum I used to post on in 2000/2001 (GYBE, Sigur Ros, Boards of Canada etc.)

Whatever happened to Melissa btw? She was the ultimate RH stan back in ILM's early days, fighting the good fight.

It's sort of what I like about it? There's no real pretence of objectivity. It just looks like someone's favourite albums from their collection. If you really like Radiohead, Pink Floyd, and King Crimson, there's a good chance you'll like the whole list. Not everything has to be Pitchfork.xp

yeah the "music guys" I used to hang out with in college (circa 2006 or so) would've made pretty much this exact same list back then, mins Kanye and Kendrick. so many of these albums I heard for the first time through the same people. at the time the RYM list was pretty much all 60s and 70s classic rock + Radiohead.

in high school a lot of my classmates were big into classic rock stuff like Floyd, Zep, and the Beatles...music our parents and teachers liked. I guess for the current generation of teenagers that would be Radiohead? maybe why they got 3 albums in the top 10

There's maybe like 3-4 albums on this list I don't really care for so clearly it's doing a good job of catering to my demographic.

It's still astonishingly boring, though.

Let's also poll and moan about ... Acclaimed Music's Top 50 Albums of All Time

It's almost as if their star-rating methodology has nothing to do with designing a fun listicle that can logically compare to ones compiled by journalists.

Master Of Puppets and Red are the ones I listen to most lately.

Is there an updated Rolling Stone albums canon that I missed?

The 2003 list was revised in 2012 and a brand new one is apparently imminent.

We'll be polling it as soon as it drops, of course.

Before it drops as ILM is that hip

:)

pro tip just poll this one again

remember NME used to produce a list but deliberately out in a troll entry like Andrew WK to annoy readers/clickbait

um Andrew WK has 3 albums better than the majority of this list

Ride The Lightning and Master Of Puppets are about equally good and I'm happy the results reflect this.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

From this list, I've heard 44 albums and enjoy some tracks from each of them except Neutral Milk Hotel. I'm voting for Animals over Red.

if amnesiac had been released first and then kid a eight months later, would their reputations be different?

Wu-Tang

xpost I never really liked Amnesiac, one of the few Radioheads that never grabbed me

I surprised myself and went with the first Doors album. Don't @ me.

No nuclear war option no vote.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Not the result I was expecting, but I approve.

Ha, I was one of the two votes for Daydream Nation.

I listened to the first Doors album last night, still rules

Wasn't expecting Kid A and Unknown Pleasures to get 0 votes.

baaahahaha, awesome results!

who voted for dark side of the moon???? let's be friends.

Me, I think? I could easily have gone with several others (Kind of Blue or Loveless maybe), but DSOTM is speaking to me these days, I dunno.

I did vote Wu-Tang in the Rolling Stone revamp poll.

cool, now let's figure out who voted animals and start a pink floyd power trio cover band.

also, i'm down to do a mashup cover of "money" and "c.r.e.a.m." if you are.

ok so who voted for neutral milk hotel i'm not mad i just wanna know
