Surprised no one's said Loveless yet.

Rob Instigator 07.27.2010 10:29 AM

Loveless sometimes creeps into my top 10.

I just had to pick the albums I played the most

Been listening to it for years now, so it's definitely a personal favourite.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

chicka 07.27.2010 10:36 AM

X - Live at the Whiskey A Go-Go
Rage Against the Machine - self titled
Santana - Milagro
Allman Brothers - Live at the Fillmore
Jimi Hendrix - Electric Ladyland
Doors - self titled
Sonic Youth - NYC Ghosts and Flowers
The Original Woodstock Album
Pink Floyd - Welcome to the Machine
Bob Marley - Babylon by Bus

I have no clue on order. It'd be a lot easier if we went by decades. When I think of all the great musicians I've left off. No Stones No Motown No Neil (other than Woodstock) Dylan No real punk No disco no..........

Newfoundland 07.27.2010 10:45 AM

The order is not so important, but these were the ones I could come up with on the top of my head (but theres probably 10 more I like equally as much):

1. Sonic Youth - Washing Machine
2. Amm - Newfoundland
3. Albert Ayler - In Greenwich Village
4. Brian Eno - Before And After Science.
5. John Coltrane - Meditations
6. Fairport Convention - Unhalfbricking
7. Roy Harper - Stormcock
8. Kevin Drumm - Sheer Hellish Miasma
9. Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Weld
10. Anthology of American Folk Music

atsonicpark 07.27.2010 10:47 AM

Haha. Fun review FoxBen. Glad that album means so much to you man. I think it'd be an alright maxi single.

As I said the other day, I think Loveless kinda gets more and more irrelevant every year.

Frigid Stars is my favorite sad album

The Earl Of Slander 07.27.2010 11:05 AM

1. Velvet Underground - White Light/White Heat
2. Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation
3. Bob Dylan - Blonde On Blonde
4. Nick Drake - Pink Moon
5. MF Doom - Operation Doomsday
6. Boredoms - Super Ae
7. Miles Davis - Kind Of Blue
8. Keiji Haino - Affection
9. Radiohead - Kid A
10. Nas - Illmatic

Not sure on the order, and there a few albums that good just as easily have taken up the last few spots (Pixies, Coltrane, Beatles, Beefheart), but that'll do I guess. I find it easier to do a list of favourite artists than I do albums.

Oh, and, if I could, I'd rep both Supercreep and Atsonicpark for their lists especially. Badassery all round there.

atsonicpark 07.27.2010 11:05 AM

I repped you instead :)
