10.23.13 | Bump.
Not the most important issue in the world, but I do love discussing a good old albums list. |
Emyay
10.23.13 | damn |
PunchforPunch
10.23.13 | controversial indeed |
lyzakthellama
10.23.13 | seems like a shitty list |

thumbcrusher
10.23.13 | was this a vote by readers or just the magazine's own list? |
SeaAnemone
10.23.13 | wait - indie, classic rock, AND rap?! damn they must really know their stuff |
AliW1993
10.23.13 | No metal though (well, very little anyway).
It was their own list. The Libertines would have been higher otherwise. |
SeaAnemone
10.23.13 | no I was being sarcastic about how generic and limited this is |
TheNexus100
10.23.13 | AHAHAHAHA KANYE |
AliW1993
10.23.13 | Yeah, I got that. To be fair, it's probably more varied than most would expect. Very britpop flavoured
in places though, shock shorror. |
porch
10.23.13 | every nme list i've seen is crammed with milquetoast uk-centric indie
let me guess, oasis and stone roses are in the top 10 |
AliW1993
10.23.13 | Of course! |

SeaAnemone
10.23.13 | aren't these magazines dying? like in all seriousness why don't they switch shit up whatsoever? |
StrangerofSorts
10.23.13 | Not too fussed about #1 to be honest - at least there's an argument for it.
More than can be said for most of the others though. Were there any unknown-ish albums near the top? |
InfamousGrouse
10.23.13 | i purchased nme once, noticed they gave aoty in 2010 to these new puritans and never bought it again |
AliW1993
10.23.13 | Not even remotely. The only unpredictability is through recent records (Funeral, Let England Shake, MBDTF, Back to Black, Sound of Silver) being placed so highly. |
InfamousGrouse
10.23.13 | if let england shake is 15 stories from the city must surely be top 5 |
AliW1993
10.23.13 | #134. |

10.23.13 | My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is a greatest bullshit
|
Thor
10.23.13 | I really don't want to meet the people involved in the making of this list. |
Thor
10.23.13 | I mean they put Wu-Tang's The W over Stankonia what do you expect from these dipshits |
skeames1214
10.23.13 | the fuck are the strokes doing in the top 100, let alone the top 5? I like em, but by their very nature they can't be considered very meaningful to music history.
|
Emyay
10.23.13 | yeah agreed |
owen
10.23.13 | nme is the worst of all music sites though
They rated Converge's All We Love We Leave Behind a 6 because "they traded their chaotic song structure for stadium rock" |
Crawl
10.23.13 | MBDTF > Dark side of the moon. Enjoy killing me |

NordicMindset
10.23.13 | DOSTM 131 and Strokes that high? typical nme for me |
SeaAnemone
10.23.13 | yea list is totally made by hipsters Friday13th lol you really pegged em |
evilford
10.23.13 | dark side that low is a fucking joke. kanye west over darkside.
there is no hope for humanity. |
LeVermInc
10.23.13 | 2-4 and 6 are really solid efforts, but their positions on that NME ranking are too damn high. Besides the dark side of the moon in that position is a joke. Anyways, I never took NME seriously |

10.23.13 | Honestly, who gives a fuck ? |

10.23.13 | kanye > floyd
oho that's rich |
skeames1214
10.23.13 | anyone have a link to the full list? How long is it before an AnCo record is on there, is all I really care about. |
Pheromone
10.23.13 | Just to clarify, did Deja Entendu make it in the top 100? |
porch
10.23.13 | lol |
MosesMalone
10.23.13 | But WHERES THE METAL |
LeVermInc
10.23.13 | There are just parts ( 500-401 ) and more. Anways seeing vampire weekend above mellon collie and master of puppets gave me an aneurysm |
SeaAnemone
10.23.13 | "Just to clarify did Dej Entendu...?"
can you imagine if they didn't??? in a generic magazine that heavily favors classic rock / generic indie music / a few cliche 'modern' picks??? |
skeames1214
10.23.13 | I am kinda glad they seem to have a lot of new shit towards the top. This faux-reverence for 40 year old music needs to stop. New shit is betta, for the most part. There are more avenues for interesting bands to find a large audience. |
skeames1214
10.23.13 | Now if only the knew what new shit is good shit, we'd be in business. |
Pheromone
10.23.13 | SeaAnemone it isn't cool to hate good albums because they're popular, silly. |

1. Feels - Animal Collective
2. Perfect From Now On - Built to Spill
3. Pet Sounds - Beach Boys
4. The Lemon of Pink - The Books
5. The Lonesome Crowded West - Modest Mouse
I put little to no thought into this but there's five that should be in the top twenty at least |

Animal Collective ~ Feels best album of all time. Can't. Stop. Laughing. |
skeames1214
10.23.13 | I defy you to tell me why that album is any worse than your favorite. |
RadicalEd
10.23.13 | I defy you to tell me why that album is worth anything more than a 3-3.5 |
LeVermInc
10.23.13 | Skeames is a disrespectful bitch and I'm the one who smack bitches up, nothing against new music but without the classics most of the new groups will be nonexistent or their music maybe would have been different and crappier |
skeames1214
10.23.13 | Because it successfully explores a wide range of feelings and experiences, capturing the essence of what it is to be human.
but hey you've got verm on your side you must be feeling pretty good about that.
|
RadicalEd
10.23.13 | I'm feeling very good about saying Feels is a 3. |
skeames1214
10.23.13 | you're hurting my feels |
RadicalEd
10.23.13 | that joke was a 3.5 |
skeames1214
10.23.13 | I'll take it. :-] |
NastyCrab
10.23.13 | At least 10-15 of the albums in the 500-401 section are albums that people will completely forget about in less than a decade or made no real contribution to music whatsoever.
Can't find the rest of the list on their site. |
zakalwe
10.23.13 | Words cannot describe how much of a wank rag the NME was and obviously still is for trite "controversy" The thing was all bluster and self importance in the Britpop years deriding the likes of Morrissey without having a clue what influenced the current plethora of shite the magazine hyped as the next big thing. What's number 1? Oh The Smiths. Funny that!

"#500 Stankonia
#497 Random Access Memories"
lmao |
skeames1214
10.23.13 | jesus, everyone is on me about feels. I'll change it to Spirit They're Gone, Spirit They've Vanished if that suits ya. |
Emyay
10.23.13 | you'll change your favorite album of all time to suit a few folks you don't know? nice |
skeames1214
10.23.13 | I mean they're pretty interchangeable in my book. I actually like spirit better, but in the 'spirit' of creating a more definitive list I picked what most people consider their best album. |

10.24.13 | They're great albums but geezus... Dark side of the Moon only 131, ...Twisted Fancy so far ahead at 21... The Smiths at 1 is an ok choice I guess. But it's not even their best record |
LittleStranger
10.24.13 | The Strokes at 4 just fucking lol |
skeames1214
10.24.13 | comprehensive lists like this are just weird to me because music is such a broad medium that when you're ranking albums across genres you're really making value statements about what types of music are the best, which is just not a productive thing to do imo |
skeames1214
10.24.13 | for me the strokes could make a 'perfect' album that completely actualizes their potential and no way in hell would it make my top twenty, because I just don't have a particular connection to what they're going for. The perfect song about bad decisions in a city is just not going resonate with me on any level. So saying 'yeah, we compiled the best 500 albums ever' is just a stupid self-serving exercise. |

Kings of Leon twice on the top 500 list?
Joshua Tree below To Rye Aye by Dexy Midnight Runner
Vespertine > Homogenic?
Strokes 4th best album of all time.

Soaringmuse
10.27.13 | Obviously Is This It should not be #4 and The Queen is Dead should not be #1. Gonna defend The Strokes a bit. What makes an album great? Is it based on how relatability, virtuosity or what?? You can't say they've contributed nothing to music just because they aren't going for a "new sound" or have oh so profound lyrics.
Einstein said it best, "The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources." Radiohead is fucking awesome. But do you think Yorke/Greenwood woke up one morning and pulled Kid A out of their ass? FROM FUCKING NOWHERE? Using an album's creativity as its sole selling point is just as obtuse as praising an album for its relatability. |
