Your Favourite Albums of All Time
This nifty website lets you select your top albums by way of tier, which is nice because top tens are a bit passé, don't you think? You can then download your album collage as a .png. Nice.
+10 indie points for every album you had to load into the database yourself.

Jay-Z
Oooh, lunchtime fun!
Maybe later
I can see myself doing this when I'm riding a hangover.
On it like a carbonit.
Tip: Go for the top 100 option. Had to leave out so much amazing stuff :(

The second album in your top 4...
Which one is that again? It's driving me mad.
it's vespertine innit?
Vespertine
Of course!
Great album; listened to it loads of times. But for some reason I just couldn't place the cover.
my favourite album of all time is tomorrow we will run faster by sweep the leg johnny
done
not done

well that is my favourite so i don't want to put anything next to it
put sto cazzo! on the second tier along with little lights by spy vs spy, zuma by neil young and the great escape by blur. that should do it
c_r i can't help but feel like you're really half-arsing this
i don't really like lists.
the question should be 'what's your favourite album?' and then you answer. my answer is tomorrow we will run faster by sweep the leg johnny.
It's not really a list though is it
It's more groupings than anything
I envy you
:')
DONE
http://imgur.com/GRHc5IF
I'VE BEEN SHOUTED AT FOR THAT
FFS
you and c_r OUT. GET OUTTA HERE!
see
i said OUT
why don't you go and listen to the album i've chosen eh?
I will
If you do this properly
Doesn't seem to want to work for me.
Anyone else having trouble with it?
I had trouble at first
you need to select the square you want the album to fill first
Yeah did the first 10 boxes, saved it and it all vanished
Probably forgot all my favourites anyhow
Ah. I see.
I'm not actually getting any boxes. Looks like there's errors on the page. Probably something to do with the way IE is configured by my employers.
This is my one, it's kind of a mix of childhood and now

How funny
I've included The Moon & Antarctica, OK Computer, and Give Up in mine, too! They're in my top four with Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain.
:)
Nice, I look forward to seeing the full list :)
i can see myself spending ages on this
fuck
you have all the time in the world
no lush
It won't let me upload album covers annoyingly...
I press the Upload button, but nothing happens. Which means I may well have to omit The Early Years self-titled, which I really don't want to do.
Okay no worries, figured it out...

They even had all the obscure Japanese shit in their database, barring one album. Not bad.
Asobi Seksu!
Citrus is a beautiful album, listened to 'Strings' religiously for a while, so so good
Pretty much the best song on there.
You go for the Thursday, but you stay for the Strings.
Great choice.
Stunning album.
Did you know Zeroset (Dave Malkinson and Roger) have a couple of gigs in London over the nextt month or so.?
Done - seriously
http://i.imgur.com/8MMKybZ.jpg
hmm
add the Blue Album and The Mollusk you idiot.
oh shit, i
'd forgotten about Brian Eno and Slint
nice list, few albums there I need to revisit.
shame you cant save it to the site rather than doing it from scratch (?)
ahh you can
my German is how you say, "inelegant"?

Rate Your Music is another good website for doing this.
Mine is a la here:
http://rateyourmusic.com/list/blairosh/my_100_greatest_albums_of_all_time
(still a work in progress)
Went for the 100 album option because 50 is just not enough!
http://i.imgur.com/bLaMN5w.jpg
I have a feeling this could become a weekly commitment now to make sure this stays up to date!
I wonder how much they connect to actual listens
http://imgur.com/62GJDqZ
Very much a work in progress, top 4 are solid though...

Nice enough idea, but
the output looks terrible. I mean, fair enough if you have to have the "top 4", "other favourites" etc headings in the input screen so you don't discriminate against idiots, but having them in the final thing? And then, having different sizes for different tiers, but making no effort to make them line up? They're SQUARES ffs, it's not exactly the Alhambra.
THIS is basically how it needs to look: http://oi48.tinypic.com/15x4dna.jpg (yeah yeah, needs tidying up a bit).
I can't imagine it would even be that hard to make it customisable how many were in each tier.
And in the meantime, my last.fm automatically does my top 39 anyway

My effort, and I stand by my first and second tiers

I liked how Illinois was also Illinoise, just to satisfy DiS.
Too much work for only 500 points
not in any order, just roughly lumped together

one way to spend a Friday evening
I'm always doing that
http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2556eds&s=6
BOOM - top 100
so far...

Cool site
In no order http://instagr.am/p/Vhxpy8Jv6Z/
well usually i'd jump at the chance at this kind of thing
but I dunno, I make lists in the summer. During the winter I hibernate with about three bands and don't care for much else (Unwound mostly)
so here's one I (sort of) made earlier:
http://heff88.tumblr.com/post/42709010782/these-are-my-50-favourite-records-apparently
I can't be arsed doing anything, but I really like Wild Love by Smog
Nice idea. Saved me a good 20 minutes of emails I should be answering.
