Post your favourite 50 albums of all time and rank them in order of preference
If I can do it you can.
Making this list (and especially trying to rank it in order) was fucking difficult. I have also surprised myself when forcing myself to decide whether I like one album more than another with what the result was. How the fuck was I supposed to decide whether I liked 'Geogaddi' more than 'Pink Moon' for example...?
Anyway this is the list for whatever it's worth:
1. Pulp - His n Hers
2. Godspeed you black emperor! - f#a#oo
3. Belle & Sebastian - If you're feeling sinister
4. Radiohead - OK Computer
5. Arcade Fire - Funeral
6. David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust
7. Low - Secret Name
8. Neutral Milk Hotel - In the aeroplane over the sea
9. The Fiery Furnaces - Blueberry Boat
10. Pavement - Brighten the Corners
11. Aphex Twin - Richard D James Album
12. Echo & the Bunnymen - Ocean Rain
13. Bright Eyes - Lifted
14. Joanna Newsom - Ys
15. Longpigs - The Sun is Often Out
16. My Bloody Valentine - Loveless
17. Talking Heads - Remain in light
18. The Velvet Underground - The Velvet Underground & Nico
19. Bonnie "Prince" Billy - I see a darkness
20. Blur - Blur
21. Stephen Malkmus - Stephen Malkmus
22. Slint - Spiderland

From this I have learned that my favourite album of all time is the first album I ever bought on cd. Could've saved myself a lot of trouble there.
