Jimi Hendrix Experience - Are You Experienced?
Jesus And The Mary Chain - Psychocandy
Weezer - Pinkerton
Pixies - Doolittle

Gomez - Liquid Skin/The Shins - Chutes Too Narrow

sure thats missing something but I think I'd be pefectly happy if those were the only albums I could listen to for the next couple of years.[/QUOTE]
Looking back over that, I'd probably sub Mellon Collie for Hunky Dory, not much else would change drastically.

[QUOTE=Macbeth]if i put shuffle on "beatles for sale", i'll be happy with whatever comes on. i don't feel this way with any other of their albums. also, i'm compairing it to their early stuff. i feel like after revolver it was a whole different ballgame.[/QUOTE]

I've always found something strangely appealing about Beatles for Sale too. Very good mix of songs on it and probably their most downbeat (early) album. If it weren't for Mr. Moonlight it'd rate higher with me though.

The Dismemberment Plan - Emergency & I
Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works '85 - '92
Modest Mouse - The Moon & Antartica
Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
DJ Shadow - Endtroducing...
The Flaming Lips - The Soft Bulletin'
Pavement - Brighten the Corners [I can't pick Pavement albums]
Broken Social Scene - You Forgot It In People
12 Rods - Split Personalities
Slint - Spiderland

In no order except Emergency & I being #1.

The Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness
Nine Inch Nails - The Fragile
DJ Shadow - In Tune And On Time
Opeth - My Arms, Your Hearse
Alanis Morissette - Jagged Little Pill Acoustic
Tool - Lateralus
Primus - The Brown Album
The Mars Volta - De-loused In The Comatorium
Aphex Twin - ...I Care Because You Do
Mastodon - Leviathan

...for the moment.

I just looked at [url=http://www.musicianforums.com/forums/showpost.php?p=6859867&postcount=113]my list from earlier in this thread[/url] and thought it was wrong. I knew that would happen.

Mine was weird, too. I think I just picked whatever I happened to be listening to at the moment. Some of those albums I love, sure, but others I probably haven't listened to since.

Mine actually hasn't changed all that much.

In fact, let's compare how much I've changed in a year.

1. (-) Radiohead - OK Computer
2. (NE) Kraftwerk - The Man-Machine
3. (-) Manic Street Preachers - The Holy Bible
4. (-) Jeff Buckley - Live At Sin-E (Legacy Edition)
5. (up 1) The Afghan Whigs - Gentlemen
6. (up 7) The Beatles - Revolver
7. (down 5) X Japan - Art Of Life
8. (NE) The Zombies - Odessey & Oracle
9. (NE) Weezer - Pinkerton
10. (down 5) Love - Forever Changes
11. (up 4) Public Enemy - It Takes A Nation of Millions To Hold Us Back
12. (down 1) The Clash - London Calling
13. (down 5) The Afghan Whigs - Black Love
14. (up 2) The Smiths - The Queen Is Dead

17. (down 9) DJ Shadow - Endtroducing.....
18. (down 8) Public Enemy - Fear Of A Black Planet
19. (down 1) Bob Dylan - Blood On The Tracks
20. (down 10) Massive Attack - Mezzanine

Casualties - Opeth - Still Life, Kate Bush - Hounds Of Love, Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here, Stevie Wonder - Songs In The Key Of Life, Jeff Buckley - Grace. Yet all those would make a top 50 easily. The latter two make the top 25, in fact.

I overthink these lists.

This is really just going by the ones I listen to most often and aside from [I]Grace[/I] being my favourite, they're unordered.

1. Jeff Buckley - [I]Grace[/I]
2. Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - [I]The Boatman's Call[/I]

8. Jon Spencer Blues Explosion - [I]Orange[/I]
9. The Roots - [I]Phrenology[/I]

6. Against Me! - Searching For A former Clarity
7. Behemoth - Demigod
8. Johnny Cash - In Folsom Prison
9. God Forbid - IV-The Constitution Of Treason
10. Converge - Jane Doe

Thats this current day, anyways. I can never really decide whats above what, so I just chose it on how much I've listened to each of these albums this week.

Zmev - Are you ****ing serious? Arctic Monkeys on your all-time favorite albums list?

canvasOBSCURE - Nothing Ben Gibbard's ever done is worthy of a top spot on anyone's list. You're hurting my heart. I also disagree with your Microphones selection. It should be [i]The Glow, Pt. 2[/i].

Why am I critiquing people's lists? I need to stop being an asshole.

Now I know Zmev is kidding, unless NME hacked his account, but [I]opinions[/I].

Well don't they call you facist (which you managed to fu[size=2]ck up the spelling, you fu[/size]cking retard) for a reason.

[QUOTE]Now I know Zmev is kidding, unless NME hacked his account, but opinions.[/QUOTE]

In other news, Peter Dohetry did stuff this week. 10 page spread.

It's not the lo-fi recording that gets to me, it's the Ben Gibbard-ness of it all. Well, it's not as bad as DCFC, but that's certainly not reason enough to put it on a top list, unless it's the "Most Uninteresting Albums of All-Time" list.

No, that's how you spell "fascist."
