100 Best Albums of All Time

21 Comments

1. I didn’t know you had this!! A Top 100 albums. I really like at least half of it a lot. I’m real surprised at some of it, like Yes at number one. I’m surprised that you like Yes that much. And it’s so cool that you have Court and Spark so high. I have it high too, but not that high. I’ve got Summer Lawns even higher. You need to move Tapestry up though. I don’t see much Led Zeppelin or David Bowie though. lol

   • I only made it a few weeks ago and haven’t really finished formatting it.

     It’s limited to one album per artist, and Led Zeppelin and Bowie are both in there.

     • Oh, yeah. Well, then get it up to 200 so you could put more than one per. Lol

       • That sounds like a lot of work…

         • You know a whole fuck-ton of albums, so it should be easy for you.

2. You only got three albums in common with my top 100. But seven artists in common though.

   • What are the three albums? I haven’t updated this for a while – need to slip a few things in.

     • I was wrong about how many albums in common, it’s four not three. Houses of the Holy, Court and Spark, Station to station and Tapestry. And I was way off about the artists in common also. It’s not 7 but more like 14. Those four right there plus Husker Du, Pink Floyd, Stevie Wonder, Beatles, Rolling Stones, Steely Dan, Moody Blues, Credence and Fleetwood Mac. I think Joy division too if you had that.

     • You can see for yourself if that’s correct.

       • There are a few things on yours that might sneak onto mine eventually, since I only include things I’ve reviewed already. Endtroducing is a good record that I’m nowhere near getting to.

         • I didn’t know that you only put things that you reviewed already.
           Yeah Endtroducing is great. Too bad he never followed it up with anything as good. Although eventually I started to like the album after that. It was really different though because it had hardly any Hip Hop type music like Endtroducing. It was closer to the kinds of dance music that was coming out at the time, and more Rock-ish instead of Hip Hop. Kind of along the lines of something like Fatboy Slim. But I kind of like it now though. I have no idea what he sounds like nowadays.

3. Why did it send my reply back to me as Anonymous?? Did I sign myself out of wordpress by accident or something? I wonder why it did that.

   • I’ve been fiddling with it as other users reported having problems commenting. Maybe I need to fiddle again?

     • I think I know what I did. Ya know that little thing where it says “you are commenting as..”. and you’re supposed to fill in your email address? Well, I think it wasn’t filled in because I was using a new phone so it wasn’t automatically there. Normally it’s just always filled in already. I guess we’ll see what happens now.

       • I changed the setting that required an email address as a couple of people had problems with it. Your avatar came through OK but you’re still ‘Someone’.

         • It still says I’m “Someone”? Well, that’s great, because I always wanted to grow up to be someone. LMAO!!!!!.

         • Funny!

4. Great Stuff to sum up your tastes, even if limited to one album per artist.

   A suggestion: have you tought about doing your Favourite Album per Year? Since the early 60s. The results are often quite interesting!

   • I do have plans to do a top ten for every year. but so far I’ve only done the most recent years.

5. Many records I like but the Beatles are second to none in my book ; “the white album” my favorite

   • They did have one album pretty high on the list, and I would have included Sgt Peppers on the list too, if I wasn’t limiting it to one album per artist.
