Greatest Albums

[abdoujaparov]

I didn't say it to piss you off or otherwise. Just felt like expressing how I hate it when people express an opinion, then put 'fact' after it

it reminds me of when kids used to write John loves Mary... TRUE!

oh, it must be then.......

Chameleons - script of the Bridge..There are bands I like better but as an album every track start to finsh perfect. In the same vien The Smiths - The Smiths.

- Not Fact!

[abdoujaparov]

..... ok....

I should chill.....?

it was a slightly flippant comment, mainly about the 'fact!' bit

[salvador wali]

Youth of today- musical youth, sublime album. Title track :

[king of carott flowers]

perhaps we ought both to remember that slight flippancy doesnt translate well on a forum

Jeeez, perhaps we ought to remember this is a discussion on greatest albums. ( Add pointless smiley face in attempt to disguise the smugness)....aghhhhhhhhh

[zero000]

Trying my best not to mention albums already brought up

Muse - Absolution/Origins of Symmetry

Beck - Sea Change

Nine Inch Nails - The Fragile

Manic Street Preachers - The Holy Bible (Listen to this even if you hate design for life etc...)

Primal Scream - XTRMNTR

[grumpyhack]

Just to chuck in a couple that haven't been mentioned so far:

Curved Air's Air Conditioning - the magnificent voice of Sonjia Kristina and superb violin froim Darryl Way. Also one of the first picture discs on vinyl.

and Da Capo by Love

[Gnomicide]

Looking back at the original post, the OP was looking for some credible albums so that rules out loads of my favourites so I'll go for this masterpiece...

Jane's Addiction - Nothing's Shocking.

It took a bit of arguing with myself but I finally settled on that one over Ritual De Lo Habitual. Having said that, I'm off to put on Three Days - 10:49 of bliss.

[Staggers]

Doves - Lost Souls

Leftfield - Leftism

Bjork - Homogenic

Solar Fields - Earthshine

Neutral Milk Hotel - In an aeroplane over the sea

Primal Scream - Screamadelica

Radiohead - Kid A

OTT - Skylon

Asian Dub Foundation - Community Music

Pixies - Doolittle

Those would be 10 albums I would never want to be without

[davefrompompey]

Whoever said Bring It On by Gomez is a good shout.

I'm surprised not to see anyone mention Elliott Smith here - most people seem to think XO is his best, but I'd go for Either/Or I think.

[The Nal]

Neil you were talking about John Martyn earlier in the thread. Pretty cool unheard live track here.

[tjamest]

At work at the moment, but will definitely give it a listen this evening as its right in the middle of his Bless the Weather, Solid Air, Inside Out period when he really embraced the Echoplex like no one else before or since.

[The Nal]

Still haven't indulged really. Know nothing about him. Himself and Nine Inch Nails are very much on my immediate to-do list.

[eFestivals]

thanks Nal - tho for anyone familiar with Solid Air, it's a track they already pretty much know.

You really should give JM a listen. Forget about NIN.

[eFestivals]

Ah ok cool. Just saw "previously unheard". Always grabs my attention.

i'd guess it is 'previously unheard', but as the text on that page says it's a song that ended up on Solid Air in a changed form - so if you like, it's a demo version of a song that's on Solid Air.

It was worth the listen anyway, so thanks.

Ive plenty of time for both!

maybe, but only one is worth your time.

Some obvious ones no-one's mentioned - Ziggy Stardust (though Station To Station is probably my favourite Bowie, and lesser known), Remain In Light by Talking Heads, Closer by Joy Division and Idiot by Iggy Pop. Agaetis Byrjun by Sigur Ros, Odelay by Beck, Bon Iver, Amnesiac by Radiohead and College Dropout by Kanye are worth shouts for some of my favourites of all time. The list changes every day though so I couldn't possibly give you a top 10 I'm happy with
