Forum-wide Best Albums Ever poll 24 July 2010 14:13 (permalink)

Post your top 10 albums of all time below. 10 points will be awarded to number 1, 9 to number 2 etc. Then sometime when it appears to have died I will collate the results and we will see who actually made the best album ever.

There will be no limits on how many times a band can feature in your list.

Difficult to say. As a youngling my tastes veer towards newer music. Easiest to avoid objectivity altogether

1) Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea
2) The Wrens - The Meadowlands
3) Joanna Newsom - Ys
4) Radiohead - OK Computer
5) Radiohead - Hail to the Thief
6) Elliott Smith - XO
7) ***Elliott Smith - Either/Or
8) Badly Drawn Boy - Hour of Bewilderbeast
9) My Bloody Valentine - Loveless
10) Les Savy Fav Inches

***EDIT: Slippery slope, but I need to make one change. Okkervil River's The Stage Names to number 7. Les Savy Fav goes, hobviously

And grouchland, I prefer a points system that's proportionate... I wouldn't say my number 1 is 10 times better than the number ten. 20 down to 11 makes more sense.

Say 9 people put an album in the number 10 spot. By your system that makes an album placed at number 1 by one other person better rated.

Roger's alluded to it already, but Best of the Beatles will do while I think about how to come up with a list of 10.

1 Stone Roses - The Stone Roses
2 Nirvana - Nevermind
3 REM - Out of Time
4 Radiohead - The Bends
5 Oasis - Definitely Maybe
6 Massive Attack - Blue Lines
7 Portishead - Dummy
8 REM - Automatic for the People
9 Blur - Modern Life is Rubbish
10 U2 - The Joshua Tree

so tempted to go for High Violet at 10, but me just not love it long time enough yet.

I don't have the drugs to sort it out.
