The Twenty Greatest Albums Ever According To Sonic Youth Gossip
 

OK fellow boardies, the votes have been counted, the chads have been scrutinized and Florida has declared itself Republican two hours before the polls have closed. That's right ... the twenty greatest albums ever in the history of ever can now be revealed...

Starting from 20 to 18:

At number 20: Slint's Spiderland


At number 19: Tom Waits' Rain Dogs


At number 18: Hawkwind's Space Ritual:

OK, so here's number's 17 to 15 ...

At number 17 it's Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon



At number 16 we have The Birthday Party's Junkyard



At number 15, it's Sonic Youth's A Thousand Leaves

Numbers 14 to 12:

At number 14 it's Radiohead's Kid A




At number 13 we have The Stooges' Funhouse




And at number 12 we have Television's Marquee Moon

The suspense is killing me!

I know seriously. This is great.

I was impatiently trying not to post anything in the midst, but secretly I wanted someone else to so I could.

11 to 9:

At number 11 it's Sonic Youth's Sister



At number 10 we have Dinoasur Jr's You're Living All Over Me:



At number 9, It's Sonic Youth's Sonic Nurse

Now, from 8 to 6:

At number 8, it's The Beatles' The Beatles (White Album)

And at number 7 it's Captain Beefheart's Trout Mask Replica


While at number 6 it's The Velvet Underground's White Light/White Heat

nice

Yay! Sister was my #2, and these top ones are starting to dip into my top 20.

DDN at number 1? Possibly.

The 60s have arrived in style.

Indeed. I'm glad there's at least one Beatles album in the top 20.

Now, from 5 to 3:

At number 5 it's Sonic Youth's Evol


While at number 4 it's Sonic Youth's Bad Moon Rising


And at number 3 it's The Velvet Underground and Nico

I called the top 3, sayin'

If I were to name my top 3 albums from the 60s it would actually be 8-6, in that order. Bizarre. WL/WH was my number 2.

The second greatest album ever in the history of the world, according to members of the Sonic Youth Gossip messageboard is ...











































My Bloody Valentine's Loveless

Oh, more appear to have arrived while I was typing. Well, assuming DDN is in the top 2, it's nice to see my top 2 Sonic Youth albums in the top 5 (DDN, Evol). Also while i do prefer WL/WH, Nico totally deserves to be there. I'm now fairly sure that 2 of my top five (Pink Moon and Kind Of Blue) won't be making an appearance though.

Which means that the greatest album ever ... officially ... according to the SY Gossip Site is, of course:

Sonic Youth's Daydream Nation

I really need to stop posting mid list and ending up behind the times. Shutting up now.

Not bad, not bad. For me the biggest surprise has to be no Pixie's, and the lack of Dylan is also a tad odd, but that still has to count as a top 20 that's more representative of my tastes than any I've seen voted on before.
