DiS's Favourite Albums
Same rules as the film one. Plus:
Nominating more than 10 albums because you *simply couldn't* trim it down so-here-is-a-bunch-more-at-the-end-LOVE-ME? That's a paddlin'
Mentioning this on the music board that results in any of those music board-only hobgoblins trekking over here to lie about some Zappa album being their favourite? That's a paddlin'
Nominating Paddling Out? Oh, you better believe that's a paddlin'

Lester Bangs would love your list
You're really going to do this?
God bless you.
I should probably make this clear that
I will not under any circumstances be totalling up this thread. It must be the Olympic fever but I just really really wanted to fire the starting gun.
The end of this post is the last time I'll have anything to do with this thread.
Farewell & godspeed
There goes a good man people.
A shining example for the work shy.
Name your first born after him, and next time you're atop a mountain shout his name to the heavens.
We raise a toast to you Lucien you lazy, lazy shit.

Looking forward to seeing how this goes
Bit needy.
Dear fucking god
Are there any rules on compilations, live albums, etc?
If there are then I want to know them.
I think I'd have to say The Best of The Beatles
Who knows?
Whoever is going to do the spreadsheet can take the steering wheel from now on
Well until I know the answer
I don't know if I can put Aerosmith's classic live album A Little South of Sanity in, so can someone show some initiative please?
not even worth voting
with the exception of Ys nowt i like would have a chance of getting in there. MAYBE the gap by joan of arc but i doubt it
thinly veiled
you would have heard of it post

Bloodsport Soundtrack
people like us can't make serious threads i'm afraid.
good luck with this, but we all know where its going to go.

Fuck it, I'll grab the proverbial bull by its proverbial horns and do the spreadsheet for this
Rules as above, with live albums allowed, but no compilations (unless it contains NO previously released material). No EPs or anything, and don't be a dick about this.
List them in order, 1-10, and points will be awarded as 10 for your number 1, down to 1 for number 10.
Voting closes at noon GMT on Monday, 6th August.

teacher teacher
it's ok I'll take over the lesson, you go sit down.
Pathetic.
Bloodsport Sountrack
Your rules mean there can be no inclusion of Abba Gold,
and no best album list without Abba Gold is worthy of my time.
Ok
1. Mamma Mia soundtrack
2. Hairspray soundtrack
3. Drive soundtrack
4. The muppet soundtrack
That all
no Alan Lomax Field Recordings?
Who is he when he's at home?
Alan Lomax
same as when he's in a field, recording.
the guy that Moby made an album of TV commercials sampling his field recordings
the field recordings were like a library of folk music from around the world. He is particularly known for having collected a lot of black blues singers at a time when very few of them made it to vinyl at all
The prison songs album is particularly worth checking out.
chaingang blues etc. PROPER EMOTIONS.
I think this might be to hard.
Yeah, I regretted taking this on pretty much instantly.
There's no shame in cowardly quitting this thread without seeing it through

4/10 of those are nothing like bed wetter classics ...
Also, more likely to piss yourself after 15 stellars and a lubed-up midnight wank to Don't Look Back in Anger than you are listening to those.

what twat moved this to the music board
I didn't, but far more people will see it here because of the sidebar --->
i don't care about the sidebar
move it back
BRING ON THE HOBGOBLINS!
Not in order apart from the one at the top.
Husker Du - Zen Arcade
Rush - Moving Pictures
AC/DC - Highway to Hell
Yo La Tengo - I can hear the heart beating as one
Dismemberment Plan - Emergency and I
American Music Club - Engine
My Bloody Valentine - Isn't Anything
Dinosaur Jr - You're Living All Over Me
Codeine - Frigid Stars
Red House Painters - s/t
Got as far as American Football on my mp3 player when checking and then got bored.
I really, REALLY like that album though.
Not sure to what extent this is my favourites versus tactically what I'd vaguely want DiS to 'represent'
1. Weezer - Pinkerton
2. Deftones - White Pony
3. The National - Boxer
4. M83 - Saturdays=Youth
5. dEUS - The Ideal Crash
6. Bjork - Vespertine
7. At the Drive-in - Relationship of Command
8. Elliott Smith - Figure 8
9. Interpol - Turn On The Bright Lights
10. Bright Eyes - Lifted...
needs more Burial, Daft Punk, Justice, Luke Abbott, Aphex, Wild Beasts, Bloc Party, etc...and kinda avoided albums pre-DiS (2000), and think maybe there should be a whole other thread for pre-2000 but only because I'm anal. Anyone remember the top 66 of the first six years of DiS list that we did? http://drownedinsound.com/in_depth/1254995-dis-is-6--our-66-the-top-six
pre-DiS list would probably be something like...
1. Fleetwood Mac - Rumours
2. Carole King - Tapestry
3. Kate Bush - Hounds of Love
4. Bjork - Debut
5. Prince - The Hits
6. David Bowie - Low
7. Brian Eno - Music for Airports
8. Sonic Youth - Dirty
9. Pixies - Doolittle
10. PJ Harvey - To Bring You My Love
and Nine Inch Nails - The Fragile, and so many others. I dig music...
Spare me the waffle, what's the top 10?
It's a simple concept.
^this is why it shouldn't have been moved to the music board
just pick 10 albums ffs
the first ten is the ten
the second ten is what it would be if it wasn't on this website...
:P
Clearly there should be more whole numbers between 1 and 10.
1. My Bloody Valentine – Loveless
2. Swirlies – They Spent Their Wild Youthful Days in the Glittering World of the Salons
3. Smashing Pumpkins – Siamese Dream
4. Seefeel - Quique
5. Tim Hecker - Harmony In Ultraviolet
6. Broadcast – Ha Ha Sound
7. New Kingdom – Paradise Don’t Come Cheap
8. The National – Alligator
9. Nine Inch Nails – The Downward Spiral
10. Twilight Sad – Fourteen Autumns & Fifteen Winters
Massive respect for the New Kingdom shout
Cheers! - it's the only hip-hop I really feel compelled to listen to now
I guess because of the guitars. But they had everything, the image (hair/skate dude stuff), the creativity, the conscience, the tunes and the guitars. They were awesome. I miss them more than MBV to be honest. They had so much scope to develop their sound further :(
I got really excited when I saw a song on the Asher Roth album featured them
before realising it was a different New Kingdom. Meaning they really have been forgotten if someone else is using the name!
1. Beck - Sea Change
2. Idlewild - 100 Broken Windows
3. Tindersticks - 1st album
4. Mansun - Six
5. Sparklehorse - Vivadixiesubmarinetransmissionplot
6. Grandaddy - Sophtware Slump
7. Ulrich Schnauss - Far Away Trains Passing By
8. The National - High Violet
9. Low - Things We Lost In The Fire
10. Portishead - Portishead
honorable near misses to Joy Zipper - American Whip, REM - Up, Whipping Boy - Heartworm, Eels - Electro Shock Blues, Boo Radleys - C'mon Kids, Josh Rouse - Subtitlo and OK computer. If Kid A didn't contain 'Optimistic' it'd probably be my number one, but it does so it isn't.
ffs
ahem...
yes?
well i believe i put 10 in numbers
... and the bunch at the bottom is really doing you harm, right? But thank you for delineateing the boundaries of my freedom. Now excuse me, while I think of something more important, like itching my scrotum
See, his basic civil rights attaining to freedom have been violated
I hope you're all happy. Shameful.
someone help me oppress this guy ^
Don't worry
I'm giving his album choices minus points. I'm also planning on delineating the boundaries of his freedom once I know what that means.
oh and if the guy that had made the 'rules' had bothered to use actual proper English
I might have understood what the hell he was on about.
"That's a paddlin'" - who on earth would actually choose to write in the style that a Limp Bizkit wannabe would speak in?
:D
Lucien fail english ? That's unpossible !
Lucien's English is perfectly cromulent
you don't own me
cunt
Uh oh!
my list will contain at least one Zappa album and I'm going to do honorable mentions
Yep.
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Lift Your Skinny Fists
Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie & The Infinite Sadness
Bright Eyes - Digital Ash in a Digital Urn
Weezer - Weezer (Blue)
Radiohead - OK Computer
Deftones - White Pony
Daft Punk - Alive 2007
Hope of the States - The Lost Riots
LCD Soundsystem - Sound of Silver
Aereogramme - A Story in White

Can we?
CAN WE NOTINATE ANY 10 ALBUMS
I need closure on this question before I post. TREAT ME LIKE A MORON AND SPOON FEED ME THE FACTS.
An answer would be spiffing
Is this a piss take?
Nominate your top 10 albums, no compilations.

I'm on it.

Now this has moved to the music board
There hasn't been that much out-obscuring each other. If the usernames were all taken away, I wouldn't be able to tell a "hobgoblin" post from another.
The "honourable mentions" stuff though...Stop that.
There wasn't a single aspect of this thread that was meant to be serious.
You're exaggerating
A lot of people who were looking at this thread just to be a bit of fun have posted semi-serious top tens nonetheless
You're either pulling the most deadpan comedy moment ever here
or you need to check behind you because clearly there's a lot of stuff lying against the wall that went over your head.
It wouldn't be the first time
Still, you're being a bit "shush, the adults are talking now" about this
Lies
This was supposed to be the direct equivalent of NoahVale's highly successful film one - I just wasn't the man to see it through. So like an origami boat I placed it on the water and let it sail away to bring joy to others.
meths was right - people like us can't make threads like this
no Stones?

wait — are people taking this seriously now?
Were people not taking this seriously?
I feel ashamed of myself...
Submissions appear to run the gamut
from earnestly sincere to bizarro wackdom.
Er, I don't quite understand this term 'social'
Is this is where you talk to 'people' instead of tap keys?
Looks serious to me. I'm never sure what the balance of 'serious/taking the piss' posts is on these sorts of threads. You always get at least a proportion of people who reckon Radiohead are the be all and end all.
Well, us social boarders are quite a lot cooler than you used-sock-sniffing,
social inepts over on Music.
Part of being a 'cool dude' is that you don't ever take stuff 100% seriously, and instead are all like: 'whatever Trevor'.
I'd read your reply but I'm too busy buffing my stylus.
why not?
it'll be a really funny top 10
Some people have done it album title - band name
some people have done it band name - album title.

The Spectre. Amazing. couldn't even order a top 10 Royal Trux properly let alone a top 10 favs ever.
no cows?
You bastard!
hey it says Melvins & Cows & Karp
I'm lumping them in! Which is pretty bad but...
tough call, not including anything from the last 3-4 years as it would be a very different list
1 to 10.
thee more shallows - more deep cuts
son lux - at war with walls and mazes
notwist - neon golden
plus / minus - lets build a fire
bonnie prince billy - i see a darkness
clor - clor
tarwater - dwellers on the threshold
wedding present - seamonsters
pedro the lion - control
modest mouse - it's a long drive home...
Seamonsters very nearly made my list
GOOD CALL
yeah great album
biggest album of my youth when i was (just a boy, probably dressed in corduroy).
Seamonsters is fucking great
I've had that record twice in my life, and both times it's been stolen from me. I really should buy it again and would, if I weren't so broke right now. Still have the singles from this era on vinyl at home, so maybe I'll dust them off today. Some sweet b-sides on these: Crawl, the cover of She's My Best Friend, Dan Dare, Fleshworld... They were arguably at the top of their game around this time, and it's criminal that this record doesn't get included in more of these kinds of lists. And no, I'm not David Gedge.
you know
they are touring it in full later this year, right?
jimitheexploder asked me to pass his list on
1. Skoolife - The Thang Part III [Hyperstar]
2. Max - Maxin' [Finnish Records]
3. MC Sutin - Wat [Strung Out]
4. DJ Kang - KRXJK [Made Up Records]
5. Klass - Wibble? [Lush]
6. DJ K - K [K Records]
7. Dad - Beat This Off [BRBK]
8. Twin Apples - Suchet [oMEGA]
9. Pudding Beggars - XQs Me [Mimsy]
10. The Life of Mince Today - Alien Noize [Hyperdub]
:D
I think that Klass by Wibble? was just a 12 inch single (promo only)
....so is illegible.
Get him to check.
Er, it's clearly Wibble? by Klass
Not sure what you're talking about pal
Yeah yeah. Same thing.
:')
Thanx I was busy yesterday so nice one for passing it on.
its a tough call tho
that top ten or this are pretty interchangable
Burial - Untrue
Dizzee Rascal - Boy In Da Corner
Jimi Hendrix - Are You Experienced
Flying Lotus - Los Angeles
Deerhunter - Cryptograms
Kuedo - Severant
Queens of the Stoneage - Rated R
Iggy & The Stooges - Raw Power
Richard Skelton - Landings
Radiohead - Kid A
:D
you can't just make up a bunch of records, jimi
Kuedo isn't even a word.
I apologise
Why is this boy doing this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9KNCOBMbOg
I was torn between Richard Skelton and The Books - Lost & Safe and Kid A and SAW or even Villalobos - Alcachofa maybe even Raw Power and Relationship of Command but made up some shit instead I'm affraid, sorry about that.
raw power
iggy mix or other?
so much love for los angeles. think it may have been you that recommended it back in the day
I dunno what mix I have really
maybe its Iggy's remaster not sure I've heard both I just love the riffs. LA is so good, can't wait for his new one this year. Cosmogramma was good n'all but not even close to LA for me I just connected to that one right away and haven't shaken it since. Its kinda like why I can't see why anyone would choose Songs for the Deaf over Rated R, I just can't see why anyone would choose Cosmo over LA.

You're doing it all wrong!
You do the nominating first, just 10 unranked albums you feel should be included in the master list, and that's it. If someone else has already nominated your favorite album (or 7, or 10 or FIFTY!) in the tread, then you get to nom your next 10 favorite albums. So the list is nothing but nominations, done in public, you see.
That list would then be compiled and dispersed to all those who nominated.
THEN, from that list of nominated albums everyone fills out a ballot of their (ranked) top XXXX (I suggest 20-25) albums, and that list is sent privately to the poll creator to compile (each rank is assigned a numerical value).
Then a new thread is started for the rundown, top 50-100 depending on participation.
If you would rather see it done this way then I would be willing to do it. I have an excel spreadsheet I used for the Kanye poll:
http://drownedinsound.com/community/boards/music/4334223
http://drownedinsound.com/community/boards/music/4339845
But hey, if you like how it is then w/e.
err wut?
just ignore it I guess
haha i never realised there was this schism between the music and social board for how things like this are done
Personally I'm a very much 'do what I'm asked' man when it comes to these things. I'm sure if we did it another way I'd come out with very different answers.
We haven't done many of these countdowns really,
but this way I've proposed is super easy and fun.
Tell me more about this social board you speak of.
that's smart
i was thinking this way of doing it is silly. I don't like Lambent Material 1/10th as much as And the glass-handed kites. But whatever.
I sort of feel like i've got totally lucien'd by even posting in this thread.
its not a joke
stop trying to cover your ass
yeah, that's what I was going to do
Saints be praised!!
It's your job now, God speed man. I'm never coming back to this thread.
Oh, and by the way everyone
I got the first 44 people's votes counted, at which stage 318 separate albums had been nominated. Most of them looked fucking dreadful and I will never attempt to listen to them.
No Prince album had been nominated, and 3 (THREE) albums by The National were nominated. I'm not kidding on when I say that you lot are a despicable group of people.
At that stage, OK Computer was winning
so, you know, well done Q Magazine readers.
(I lied when I said I wouldn't be back in this thread).
Off the top of my head. (scratches head)

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck
I read a couple posts after this and realised I'd forgotten Donuts, Microcastle & Ride the Skies. Obviously want everyone to know I love those albums and deserve your respect.
I would respect you if you had but Microcastle in your top 10.

Luckily there are only 10 albums in the world which I enjoy
Otherwise, like you, I wouldn't have been able to contain my sheer love of music within the clearly delineated limit of ten records.
boy howdy am I glad you got on your high-horse about this of all things
p.s. my 10 is as clearly delineated as yours, there was no rule against an additional 'highly commended' list
after all, this thread is a nice way to get a handle on each other's tastes, and more albums = a bigger handle. wish everyone gave their next 10 tbh
Quite clearly the first rule in the OP. Better get ready for that paddlin'.
Probably should have included a safety wink...
Wantonly missed from my bubbling under list:
Soft Machine - Third (which wasn't far off my all-time #10 slot tbh) and SFA - Rings Around The World
*hopes this is serious*

Interesting fact. None of my 'album of the year' from the past 15 years are in my top 10 albums.
limiting this to 10 albums is a really bad idea
because the top 10 of most countdowns of this variety are pretty predictable. you should make it a minimum of a 100 (seriously) and then run down the top 1000 albums. also encourage people to write a little blurb about each album (or as many as they want to write about) then when you post the results you can include the quotes from forum members along with stats about how many people voted for it and how many total points it received.
i realise that's about 400x more work but it's what makes this actually interesting. DiS really hasn't fully adapted to the art of list making, and i dunno why considering the number of weak lemon drink consumers we have here.
I think it's really cute how people are still replying seriously

That's mainly just goign on the albums that have racked up the most plays from me, and the albums I can always go back to and will probably never get sick of. If you asked me to make another list in a couple of months time, chances are something would be different. But meh, that's a petty definitive personal list at least.
Oh and just for the sake of the thread...
My undisputed favurite album of all time is Two Dancers. I haven't put the others in any kind of order really, but that's definitely number one.
I'd forgotten about this
Is anyone actually counting them up or are people just screaming into a cave at this point?
If nothing else it got a mysterious ^this from the ghost of bamos so was totally worth it
I'm putting all the answers into a spreadsheet and then Meths will
be crunching those numbers. I'll give you a shout when it's ready to unveil.
someone escort this gentleman out of here
People were finally starting to take this seriously - we don't need this kind of sideshow. Not when the eyes of DiS are on us wondering if we can host a thread of such complexity
I started a spreadsheet
but took the parachute offered by theShipment further up the thread. So far the high point of the thread has been you getting called a "Limp Bizkit wannabe".
There was no parachute
Continue the spreadsheet
No chance.
I stopped after 44 votes, will happily send it on to anyone who wants to continue.
ok....
Neutral Milk Hotel - ITAOTS.
Dead Kennedys - Plastic Surgery Disasters.
Civil Civic - Rules.
Cypress Hill - Black Sunday.
Beastie Boys - Ill Communication.
Swervedriver - Raise.
John Cale - Paris 1919
The Sundays - Reading, Writing and Arithmetic.
The Blue Nile - A Walk Across the Rooftops.
U2 - Unforgettable Fire.
This is clearly the most refined and tasteful list.
Cheers.
