That's why I hate lists. I have sooo many more albums that I adore, you know? I LOVE Bob Marley. I could have easily put "Natty Dread" on there, or Marley Live. Easy add ons;

The Beatles/Revolver
Bobby Womack/Understanding
Stevie Wonder/Innervisions
Ohio Players/Fire
Marvin Gaye/What's Goin' On?
Marvin Gaye/I Want You
Miles Davis/Agartha

I mean, I can go on and on as far as crucial ass albums go.
Sly Stone/Fresh

I'm going to start crunching numbers on Friday, so submit/edit your list by then. It may take a while to finish.

Thanks to everyone who contributed, I think this will be the definitive list to end all lists!

Have fun with that.


Thank God it's you and not me that has to do it.

Wait, I thought you volunteered to do A thru M...

How are you going to assign numbers to the votes that say "in no particular order"?

NDRU said:

What? Wait, hang on a second....

sextonseven said:

I'm glad you mentioned that. There's a couple options:

1. They could still assign an order.

2. I could assume that since they listed one album first it's a subconscious #1.

3. I could choose to not use their lists

4. But I think the fairest way would be to give each album they listed an equal number of points--like the minimum 26 maybe. Assume it's a 25 way tie.

If it's not too late:

1 Donny Hathaway - Extensions of a Man

2 Marvin Gaye - What's Going On

3 Stevie Wonder - Talking Book

4 Miles Davis - Miles Ahead

5 Jimi Hendrix - Are You Experienced

6 The Beatles - Abbey Road

7 Sly and the Family Stone - Stand

8 Steely Dan - Aja

9 Weather Report - Heavy Weather

10 Led Zeppelin - Physical Grafitti

11 Stevie Wonder - Innervisions

12 Earth Wind and Fire - All N' All

13 Rotary Connection - Hey Love

14 Santana - Amigos

15 Parliament - Funkentelechy Vs The Placebo Syndrome

16 Pat Metheny - First Circle

17 XTC - Skylarking

18 Joni Mitchell - Hissing Of The Summer Lawns

19 Rufus with Chaka Khan - Ask Rufus

20 Tower Of Power - Back To Oakland

21 Three Dog Night - It Ain't Easy

22 Todd Rundgren - Something/Anything

23 Rickie Lee Jones - Pirates

24 Prince - Sign O' The Times

25 Brenda Russell - Brenda Russell



...

Nope, I've been waiting for you to validate this whole thing!

You might get off easier by just counting the number of times an album is picked in general.

Just a thought for easy-cipherin'.

Anyone else wants to add a list I'll still put it in though. Prince needs more votes!

NDRU said:

I blame Gangsta. He only voted for Prince once even though he admittedly likes more Prince albums than just Lovesexy.

sextonseven said:

I Bificus could use a bit more support, too.

NDRU said:

I'm the only person outside Canada that likes that album.

sextonseven said:

What kind of music is it? It's curious to see things among people's favorites that I've never heard of. You explained that it's not that you think it's "greater than Sgt Pepper," but you obviously like it a lot, and I have no clue about it.

NDRU said:

Bif Naked does, or used to do anyway, radio friendly punk-pop/new wave. Not unlike No Doubt I guess. Her lyrics aren't very deep which seems to be the main criticism, but there are so many hooks on that 'I Bificus' record that I couldn't stop listening to it when I got it a few years ago. Her latest album leans more towards metal which I don't like as much: http://www.myspace.com/bifnaked

Off the top of my head, and without my CDs in front of me (and ignoring comps), here is the best I could do.


1 Donna Summer "Once Upon A Time"
2 Prince "Sign O The Times"
3 David Bowie "Heathen"
4 Madonna "Erotica"
5 Pixies "Dolittle"
6 Prince "Purple Rain"
7 Madonna "Bedtime Stories"
8 Janet "Control"
9 Breeders "Last Splash"
10 Nirvana "Nevermind"
11 Prince "Controversy"
12 Pet Shop Boys "Binlingual"
13 Jay-Z "The Blueprint"
14 Donna Summer "Bad Girls"
15 David Bowie "Scary Monsters"
16 Stevie Nicks "Wild Heart"
17 Aerosmith "Pump"
18 Elvis Costello "This Year's Model"
19 Donna Summer "Four Seasons Of Love"
20 Led Zeppelin "Houses Of the Holy"
21 Ozzy Osbourne "Down To Earth"
22 Janet "Velvet Rope"
23 Madonna "Madona"
24 Cathy Dennis "Move To This"
25 Stone Temple Piolits (The Purple Album)
