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.

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
15. (NE) Fleetwood Mac - Rumors
16. (NE) The Magic Numbers - The Magic Numbers
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]
3. Van Morrison - [I]Astral Weeks[/I]
4. The Beatles - [I]Revolver[/I]
5. Godspeed You! Black Emporer - [I]Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven[/I]
6. Icarus Line - [I]Penance Soiree[/I]
7. Jeff Buckley - [I]Live at Sin-e[/I]
8. Jon Spencer Blues Explosion - [I]Orange[/I]
9. The Roots - [I]Phrenology[/I]
10. Television - [I]Marquee Moon[/I]

1. Rise Against - Revolutions Per Minute
2. Opeth - Still Life
3. Protest The Hero - Kezia
4. Agalloch - The Mantle
5. A Wilhelm Scream - Ruiner
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.

necro - brutality part one
red hot chili peppers - all
