Top 20 Favorite Albums

[A Love American]

Sorry if this has been done before, I searched "albums" and nothing came up in the first three pages so fuck it. If you can find another, by all means send a link my way.

I'll post mine in a little while. Still deciding on it.

[A Love American]

Go listen to Bowling for Soup.

[A Love American]

A Hangover You Don't Deserve - 3.5 (Great)

[TheOtherAndrew]

I bought a friend of mine a Bowling for Soup album for his birthday 2 years ago. He still hates me for it.

[TheOtherAndrew]

I even reviewed a BFS album on Sputnik at a 4, I don't if A Love American PI found that out.
Clearly your high status on this website (which you actively work towards achieving) would be diminished if this became common knowledge!

[TheOtherAndrew]

Mental note: Andrew knows too much..
A Love American isn't the only one who stalks you.

Yeah a previous thread about the Flaming Lips' Soft Bulletin being the modern generation's Pet Sounds which sparked a big argument.

Hasn't this thread been done before?

Oh and, just a comment on your list. EITS above Godspeed? Not cool man.

[Kid B]

Ahhh oh, well I haven't been on this site in a while so I kind of was wondering how much had changed around here haha.

Sorry about that, Godspeed You! is one of my favorite bands, definitely, but EINAC,DP is barely better than F#A#, for me anyway.

It's all good, dude, I just don't care for EITS really.

[Kid B]

Well I can see why one wouldn't like them, they're kind of the CIWWAF of post-rock lol.

This is in no particular order. And it strikes a comfortable balance between the albums that have been most important in terms of defining the way I approach music, the ones I listen to the most often, and the ones I think are simply the best executed. Most of these hit all three criteria; some only fulfill one or two.

Sweet list

[Rodeo]

Sketches of Spain > Kind of Blue > Bitches Brew > In A Silent Way > Birth of the Cool.

I don't have any others yet.

Bitches Brew is both his worst and best of the ones I have. It's the most ambitious and the most rewarding when you get it but it's extremely hard going and the lack of 'pleasant' notes really takes it toll on you. Yet at the same time if you're really in the mood 'Bitches Brew' hits harder than any of his others. I'm just rarely in that mood.


Really? No Blue Train?

[PoisonInMyVeins]

1. bob dylan - blonde on blonde

3. miles davis - kind of blue
4. nick drake - five leaves left
5. death cab for cutie - we have the facts and we're voting yes
6. bright eyes - lifted or the story is in the soil, keep your ear to the ground
7. between the buried and me - colors
8. animal collective - strawberry jam
9. of montreal - satanic panic in the attic
10. at the drive-in - relationship of command
11. john coltrane - a love supreme
12. the jackson 5 - diana ross presents the jackson 5
13. saves the day - stay what you are
14. thursday - full collapse
15. neutral milk hotel - in the aeroplane over the sea
16. david bowie - the rise and fall of ziggy stardust and the spiders from mars
17. the velvet underground & nico - the velvet underground & nico
18. death from above 1979 - you're a woman, i'm a machine
19. spiritualized - ladies and gentlemen we are floating in space
20. broken social scene - you forgot it in people

[PoisonInMyVeins]

[PoisonInMyVeins]

Birth Of The Cool > Sketches Of Spain > Kind Of Blue for me.

I don't think I could ever make a list like this.

[micahistheballs]

Yeah a previous thread about the Flaming Lips' Soft Bulletin being the modern generation's Pet Sounds which sparked a big argument.

Hasn't this thread been done before?

Oh and, just a comment on your list. EITS above Godspeed? Not cool man.
Haha, where did this happen?

[micahistheballs]

lol at number 1. what a god awful album.
I thought you at least moderately liked them or do you just like their older stuff?

[Praetor]

Sketches of Spain > Kind of Blue > Bitches Brew > In A Silent Way > Birth of the Cool.

I don't have any others yet.

Bitches Brew is both his worst and best of the ones I have. It's the most ambitious and the most rewarding when you get it but it's extremely hard going and the lack of 'pleasant' notes really takes it toll on you. Yet at the same time if you're really in the mood 'Bitches Brew' hits harder than any of his others. I'm just rarely in that mood.
Totally agree with what you said about Bitches Brew. It's the weirdest and most eccentric and for that reason it's nice once in a while but when I kick back and just want to chill to some jazz, I will never put that album on. It's good, though.

Also, you should check out Love Songs and The Musings Of Miles next. He's got such a massive, intimidating discography. I have a few other of his albums (Pangaea, Decoy, Agharta, Seven Steps To Heaven) downloaded but haven't listened yet.

[Rodeo]

i really hope you don't think that's a miles album.


No, I was referring to his previous post. I just quoted the wrong one.

[PoisonInMyVeins]

No, I was referring to his previous post. I just quoted the wrong one.

As much as I love Straight outta compton I think efil4zaggin was a little better. granted it dosen't have the hits that S.O.C has but i think its a much better produced and well rounded album

[IWasaCamera]

Seeing A Love Supreme below some of these is upsetting.

[PoisonInMyVeins]

Seeing A Love Supreme below some of these is upsetting.

that's why i said it was in no particular order.

[IWasaCamera]

that's why i said it was in no particular order.
Didn't see that. In that case, seeing those artists on the same list as Coltrane is upsetting.

[PoisonInMyVeins]

Didn't see that. In that case, seeing those artists on the same list as Coltrane is upsetting.

alright i give up. thanks.

[Here It Goes]

I've noticed lots of people picking John Coltrane and Miles Davis, which seems odd for a generally punk site, but I'm intrigued nonetheless.

I'm a casual jazz fan, but find myself enjoying it more and more all the time as I get older. I'm familiar with a few Coltrane songs, and love "So What" by Miles Davis, but is there some music by these two guys I should be downloading immediately? I'd like to check this stuff out.

[IWasaCamera]

Sweet.

Get Kind Of Blue first; probably the most accessible jazz album of all time. If you like what you hear, then you can look into other artists as well as free jazz and fusion stuff which can be really great as well.

[humanafterall]

Surprised to see De Stijl above any other White Stripes releases, same with Takk above any other Ros.
The White Stripes are my favorite band. I could listen to all of their albums forever, if need be. De Stijl is the one I usually turn to first. Some of my favorite Stripes songs are on there. Death Letter, Truth Doesn't Make A Noise, Apple Blossom, and Let's Build A Home are all in my top 100 songs. I feel that it's one of their most consistant records.
About Sigur Ros, to be honest, I haven't listened to Ágætis Byrjun in it's entirety yet. Takk is on there because of Glosoli, and Hoppipolla. I could listen to Glosoli a hundred times, and it would make me cry everytime. It's just that beautiful. Hoppipolla is almost as beautiful, but stops short. And then of course on Takk there's Sæglópur which is pretty much perfect.
You're right, tho, the brackets album should be on that list.

[Here It Goes]

Sweet.

My dad has Kind of Blue, I've heard it many times. "Freedy Freeloader" (?) kinda blends right into "So What", not a killer CD in my opinion but maybe I should give it another listen. What about Coltrane...

I'm Bound To Pack It Up is also an amazing song. I agree, I love the Stripes and De Stijl is really great.

[humanafterall]

Have you seen them live?

[theguy77]

man, jimmy eat world's futures will likely be the top pop album on my list.

[IWasaCamera]

Lush Life, Soultrane, and Blue Train are easy listens for Coltrane. If you dig those, give Giant Steps a try. Save A Love Supreme and his forays into free jazz for last.

[humanafterall]

M.I.A.'s Kala is probably gonna be on my list by next week.

[Here It Goes]

Actually, I might as well put my list I suppose:

Top 3 in order, the rest, whatever, all pretty fantastic:

1) Jimmy Eat World - Futures
2) Third Eye Blind - Out of the Vein
3) Third Eye Blind - Third Eye Blind


4) Say Anything - In Defense of the Genre
5) Incubus - A Crow Left of the Murder

9) The Used - The Used
10) Incubus - Make Yourself
11) Say Anything - ...Is a Real Boy

[humanafterall]

Futures is indeed, a great great album.

[theguy77]

Really?

[HangsLikeHeaven]

I'm intimidated to post mine because I'm sure someone will point out some sort of change I made in it.

[theguy77]

i need more time with a few albums in order to see where they place

[Here It Goes]

Really?

Probably. Again, not necessarily #4 all time, but there is enough really great songs on that record that it makes up for the ones I don't enjoy as much. Quality and quantity, in my opinion.

I never understood the love for Explosions in the Sky. I've listened to the "Earth is a Cold..." and that Hand song which gets extreme amounts of love on here and it was just boring...

[Troggy]

That is the only EITS disc I listen to but I think that is a really good song. Can't take too much of them at once though. It's kind of a, when I am in the right mood it is REALLY good, but otherwise don't really spin it a lot, CD.

Haha, it was more so a joke. I couldn't give a shit if someone had a negative opinion on my list 2 years ago or 2 weeks ago.

[humanafterall]

No, but I would really love to.
It was one of the best concerts I've ever been to. So much energy.

I recently had to write a comprehensive Top 50 list for the campus paper, under the "holiday albums recommendation list." It was an exhaustive thing to do - a sincere attempt to compartmentalize favorite albums and attempt to rank them. So, at the time of writing and the issue going to press, this is my Top 50.

[Jumpoff]

You should listen to earlier REM if you haven't.

I am so backed up on listening to stuff... but I've been planning on getting to older REM for a while. Really been loving the two albums I listed on there.. are hte older albums at all comparable?

[aolsux]

Yeah as R.E.M. goes, nothing is better than Automatic For The People. But I love Murmur, Document and Reveal as close number twos. If anyone hasn't heard their new album Accelerate, I highly recommend it.

Arguably better. Out of Time is probably around middle-of-the-road for me if I were to rate their entire discography, maybe a little better, although it has some absolutely phenominal tracks.

If anyone hasn't heard their new album Accelerate, I highly recommend it. There are some things about Accelerate that really bug me, namely how it sounds. But it was a pleasant surprise, for sure. Reveal as #2? Interesting. I need to listen to the newer stuff, like after New Adventures and before Acclerate.

Really?

I agree. ...Is A Real Boy is just about the most genius pop/punk type album I've ever heard. And Defense of the Genre was a complete mess. I've never been let down more by an album.

[Kid B]

you seriously just put radiohead and interpol before U2?
What? It is entirely subjective, and there are much more mediocre bands than Radiohead and Interpol on that list that are higher than U2.

I deleted that post because of how asinine it was.

Wow that was tough. It's hard to rate albums from different genres together. I missed ministry and rammstein albums that probably deserved a place, and i missed u2 and the cure albums that deserved a place.

I never understood the love for Explosions in the Sky. I've listened to the "Earth is a Cold..." and that Hand song which gets extreme amounts of love on here and it was just boring...

Neither have I. All my friends love them, but I just can't get into them. I can listen to a few songs, but not a full album.
The only Post-Rock that I can consistently listen to is Russian Circles. I love them.

Haha, it's always been my fucking random album that i think is grossly underrated.

[IcedOpethBlind]
