Terence Trent D'arby Remy Shand Alanis Morissette Madonna Bjork Janet Jackson Instead of labelling this stuff as garbage, wouldn't it just be more fair to say that you don't care for a lot R&B? I mean, judging from your list, I sense you're all about indie alt-rock stuff that I could care less about. I don't mean to argue with you, that's just how I see it. I love R&B, if its quality. Also, for the record, I only have one record on my top 10 that fits the indie alt-rock category. Tortoise. I wouldn't say Bowie,Nick Drake, or John Cale are indie alt-rock by any means All the gals say hoe if your man's giving up the gold. All the fellas say ruff if you're only giving up the bone. | |

You may be right, but I guess your top ten albums aren't exactly winning popularity contests or making a lot of money. Not that that's a good or bad thing, I've just seen this mentality with some folks that everything that gets airplay or makes money is complete garbage, whereas underappreciated stuff like Nick Drake (which is a very good choice, btw) is all that matters. | |

But wait, he did mention Disintergration by The Cure. I guess he gets cool points for that. I mean, that's one of the greatest records ever made. In fact he's not the only one here with that album on the list. NEW WAVE FOREVER: SLAVE TO THE WAVE FROM THE CRADLE TO THE GRAVE. | |

IN the end-all, I couldn't though...it probly would fall about 12th-14th on my list. | |

i bet you a pack of starburst that you've never even heard half the albums i have on my list.  Whatever Hand claps. Run DMC, Keith Sweat, Stevie Wonder, Cameo. All staples. If anyone has never heard these records, please leave now!! Now, now, garnis, as pleased as I am that you know where it's at with "Blowout Comb," no one likes a music snob. In any event, you asked for "favourites," not "bests." Or did you start this thread just to get a lot of responses and put people on blast because their tastes were somehow "inferior" to yours?

Let's see if I can decide:
(in random order) Sign O' The Times - Prince Mama's Gun - Erykah Badu Hunky Dory - David Bowie What's Goin On - Marvin Gaye Off the Wall - Michael Jackson Innervisions - Stevie Wonder ...only 6, but those will remain, I guess. The rest would change all the time. Some more Prince, Bowie, Stevie Wonder. | |
