I had to think about it a bit, since compliations/best of/soundtracks couldn't be used. That's why I have no Rolling Stones on my list. None of their individual albums do much for me, but I love Hot Rocks 1&2.

I want to be on the ship with Quick. #31 & 32 for me were Kind of Blue and Love Supreme - I just couldn't decide between the two and took Stevie Wonder instead.
And what's up with all the OK Computer? Don't get me wrong, I like the album, but everytime I listen to it I feel like putting a gun to my head - by far one of the most mood depressing albums I've ever heard.

I never find myself getting depressed by music. In fact, "depressing" music can often make me feel better. Maybe it's the whole misery loves company thing.

Indeed. I find "depressing" music (ie. music with lots of minor chords and downbeat lyrics) to be on the whole more interesting than regular major key stuff, for whatever reason. Even when I'm playing around on a guitar, I prefer to strum Em than E.

There's a few things on this list I'm not familiar with, but more so than anybody else's list, I could probably survive quite happily with these 30 discs.

My first guitar teacher told me that minor chords were the musical equivalent to a "cliffhanger" ending in a movie. I find the chord that gives me that feeling more than any other is B7.

I took a look at my ratings, and since it seemed boring to list the Top 30 in terms of average rating per album, I also made it so that I could only have one album from each artist, and one album per year.
Stan Getz and J.J. Johnson - At the Opera House Vince Guaraldi - The Latin Side of Vince Guaraldi Jethro Tull - Aqualung Brian Eno - Here Come the Warm Jets Blondie - Blondie Steely Dan - Aja Rupert Holmes - Adventure Genesis - Abacab Phil Collins - Hello, I Must Be Going! Police - Synchronicity Huey Lewis and the News - Sports Cocteau Twins - Victorialand Faith No More - Introduce Yourself New Order - Technique George Michael - Listen Without Prejudice REM - Out of Time Sundays - Blind Velocity Girl - Copacetic Portishead - Dummy Love Jones - Powerful Pain Relief Joe Jackson and Friends - Heaven & Hell Belle and Sebastian - The Boy with the Arab Strap Beth Orton - Central Reservation Saint Etienne - Sound of Water Shins - Oh, Inverted World! Apparat Organ Quartet - Apparat Organ Quartet Dido - Life For Rent Au Revoir Simone - Verses of Comfort, Assurance and Salvation Innocence Mission - We Walked in Song No Kids - Come into my House |

Also, my ratings are a work in progress, so songs get a chance to be rated higher the more often they come up in shuffle. I think I was late adding the Beatles to my ipod, so their albums are lagging behind everything else.Some places where I'd look at a year and think, "oh, I'd probably rather have some other album than what came up":
1981: October by U2 over Abacab 1982: The Dreaming by Kate Bush over Hello, I Must Be Going! 1984: The Smiths by The Smiths over Sports 1987: Happy Come Home by Victoria Williams over Introduce Yourself (but it would be a tough call) 1989: Pretty Hate Machine by Nine Inch Nails over Technique 1994: David Byrne by David Byrne over Dummy 1999: The Unauthorized Biography of Reinhold Messner by Ben Folds Five over Central Reservation 2000: The Noise Made By People by Broadcast over Sound of Water 2005: Cansei de Ser Sexy by CSS over Verses of Comfort, Assurance and Salvation 2007: Places Like This by Architecture in Helsinki over We Walked in Song Last edited by Passacaglia : 11-06-2008 at 04:53 PM. |

Re-thinking, after a bit of time has passed... still generally happy with this list, but: 1. Must find room for Talking Heads, Remain In Light. That's a top priority. Just a blunder last time on my part. 2. I think I could cut out the Cake. Love it, but maybe not quite here. 3. I'm listening to Abbey Road right now, and most times I do I kick myself for not raking this as my favorite Beatles. So, maybe it is? Okay, two Beatles, and Revolver only edging out Rubber Soul, I'd note. 4. I can drop out a deep-cut fave of mine, David & David, but it is really great and 100% worth streaming for free. 5. Have to leave the John Hammond album here, as it's my backdoor way to include Tom Waits and I like it even better than Raindogs. But the latter would be more of a crowd pleaser, and that's a worthy consideration. Kinda depends if anyone is in the car with me, got it? 6. Yes, I still think that's my favorite Black Keys album. They stay in. 6a. Beck, same. 7. I am oddly fine with two rap albums at the end, but am put off by four jazz albums at the beginning. I feel like I either should put in 12 jazz albums or none. I'll stick with 4, but it's an uneasy compromise to me. 8. Dusty Springfield just seems like she's in serious trouble on this liferaft. 9. I think I need to put Arcade Fire's The Suburbs here, too. Maybe I could push off a Peter Gabriel album. 20 years ago, no chance, but today, yeah, I reckon I could let PGIII go. Last edited by QuikSand : 01-08-2018 at 03:23 PM. |

Pretty happy with my list still. If I were to do the same thing again today probably 20 albums would change, but I'd still be happy with those 30 albums. A bit disappointing that there haven't been any albums released in the last 10 years that I'd add to my list. Never thought I'd become one of those guys that never listens to anything new!

Albums?
Conversation with a student the other day: i just got into the Beatles this weekend, I love them! Cool, what albums have heard? All of them. It probably took me years the buy, gather and hear all the Beatles. Today, instanly and free-ish. |

Yeah, Spotify (or streaming music in general) is a bit of a revelation. That said, having to order and wait a month for various obscure discs in my 20s gave me an appreciation (aka, made me give a lot of albums more of a chance than I would if I just searched on Spotify and hit play) for some stuff that I doubt I would have had otherwise.

While I have moved entirely to digital (although I still buy CDs when they are part of a special order/kickstarter-type of thing), I can't shake albums or purchasing music. I want to own it - it's almost part of an identity or something. And I am buying tons of more music now than I ever have.

Yeah, that's not an uncommon thing with us "pre-digital" folks. For a long time I would still download my own copies of everything digital I bought, and if it was from a walled garden streaming service that didn't allow that, I would download "illegal" copies, and store them on a drive on my PC that I would in all probability never look at again. I forced myself to stop doing it a few years ago, and never looked back... I even threw out a large % of my CD collection, which had all been ripped to mp3 a long time ago. I had a really large collection and it was strangely liberating just chucking them away.

Reason: Forgot something and also the no-compilations formatting isn't very forgiving for earlier artists like Hank Williams, Patsy Cline, or nearly any of the rocksteady acts from the '60s that I like... |

Totally agreed with the note above -- I love Johnny Cash and Hank Williams (and fairly little else from the "country" genre), but don't have any working knowledge of their albums, just compilations and live stuff. Live from San Quentin makes my list, but I'm leaving out a ton of stuff I really like from both of them by doing so.

Haha, just realized this thread was necromanced.
My list would have been almost all hip hop a decade ago.
