Re: Your Top 25 Favourite Albums

I think my list would be changed up a bit since the poll a while back - Marquee Moon probably top 5,also probably Forever Changes and Loveless would be in the top 25 also...

Re: Your Top 25 Favourite Albums

Great List!

I have almost ever album on it. Just now starting to get into animal collective. Panda Bear had a great album this year, on of my top 10 of the year. Im definately gunna check out splint- spiderland

Re: Your Top 25 Favourite Albums

Thanks! Yeah, Spiderland is really worth getting very quickly. And Animal Collective is hands down my favorite band of the century.

I haven't tried anything by Tom Waits yet, but I guess I'd better because based on some of the better music websites I visit (including this one), you'd think it was a top 5 album of all time just as you have it.

Oh, and very interesting to see that you have In Rainbows that high, especially above Kid A. Four Radiohead albums in your top 25...hmmm...if I were to have any band have 4 in my top 25 it'd be The Cure. I could easily make an argument to include both Seventeen Seconds and Bloodflowers in there.

Anyway, cool stuff there.

Re: Your Top 25 Favourite Albums

lol...One minute Kid A is my #1. then I'll ignore it for a month and it works it's way down the list. Im very indecisive about my top 100. It changes all the time.

Surprised my RADIOHEADS 4 mentions...lol...Could be 6 just as easy. Hail to the thief always seems to be just outside my top 25, but amnesiac sometimes makes an appearance
