The Albums Thread Pt. 2

[Crow]

ORIGINAL POST:

i've been meaning to make this thread for a while, so here goes!

i love albums as a whole rather than just single songs. they represent the artist in this particular time in this particular place.

but anyway, here's my current top 5 albums in a list that's ever-changing!

5)- Sublime - "Sublime"
4)- Sonic Youth - "Daydream Nation"
3)- Tool - "AEnima"
2)- The Beatles - "Revolver"
1)- Nuetral Milk Hotel - "Aeroplane over the sea"

i'd love to know of everyone else's choices as well. maybe we can construct out own top 10 albums of all time list after that.

Pt. 1 here: http://www.pakgamers.com/forums/f19/albums-thread-your-personal-top-27488/

The last thread was ages ago, and I was only just getting into music, which sounds weird because how do you get into music, etc, idk. I couldn't have bumped it because it's closed. Anyway, post your top 5 picks! Or top 10 picks. Or any number of picks, I don't mind. Just to get the discussion going.

1. Broken Social Scene - You Forgot It in People

2. The Microphones - The Glow Pt. 2

3. The Smiths - The Queen is Dead

4. Neutral Milk Hotel - In The Aeroplane Over the Sea

LOL how the eff do you tag!?!?

Crow, that's you, right Arsal?

Man, so friggin' glad you discovered The Smiths! My new favorite. The lyrics, the music. Cemetery Gates is about the most perfect example of power pop ever. Also, just saw Dummy; you've done me proud! Also, recently fell madly in love with the last half of OK Computer. Lucky; what a track!

Anyway, man, this list brought back memories. And yeah, my list of favorite albums has changed a bit in the past, I don't know, 2-3 years since I posted that.

But first, Benighted? You can't choose both of GNR's YUIs; it's either 1 or 2. I've always loved 2 way better than one.

Anyway, and this list is certain to change because it's 3:12am right now and I got a lot of work in the morning, but here's my current list:

5)- Husker Du - New Day Rising
4)- Queens Of The Stone Age - Rated R
3)- Joni Mitchell - Court And Spark
2)- Tool - AEnima
1)- NMH - Aeroplane Over The Sea

See, these albums have mostly always been in my car ever since I heard them for the first time, which goes back to like '99 for Husker Du and Tool.

I propose we extend the list to 10 and forget the honorable mentions.

6)- Fugazi - Repeater + 3 Songs
7)- Slint - Spiderland
8)- Buena Vista Social Club (does this qualify?)
9)- Cibo Matto - Viva! La Woman
10)-The Allman Brothers Band - At Filmore East

Man, I'm surely making the list again! There's just so much good music I heard recently. Some of it I'm not putting in the top 5/10 yet as I've just discovered it. Stuff like:

Pavement; the most underrated band of the 90's

Boris; exactly the kind of heavy, downtuned, drone/blues/metal/rock guitar playing I always thought I'd do

The Smiths; I've got the 2 disc best of, love every song on it, but haven't heard the albums so can't really add it to the list

The list goes on!

But...

I like 2 better than 1 as well, but 1 has Double Talkin' Jive, Coma and November Rain.

Oh and Boris! \m/
