Individual best of albums lists 2 by 2 : pop elton & Henry

Here are 2 more lists (Contrary to what I said I didn' t wait a week to post this because else it would take more than 9 months to post everything)

They were the opposite in the factor 2 axis (according to Henrik, a "modern/classic" line.
Could you tell us a little more Henrik about your criteria ?

No need to explain who's the "classic" and who's the "modern"

Re: Individual best of albums lists 2 by 2 : pop elton & Henry

Thats such a wonderful contrast between the two lists.
Great idea about posting the lists Noah's Ark style Nicolas.

I agree!

Seeing Like a Prayer pop up unexpectedly in Henry's list made me smile very much, as did Homogenic making the top 10 in pop elton's!

Re: Individual best of albums lists 2 by 2 : pop elton & Henry

Pop elton has one of the best lists out of anyone; full of albums I need to listen to like Five Leaves Left, Homogenic, and The Earth is Not a Cold Dead Place.

But Isn't Anything over Loveless?

Thanks Jackson! I think also it's one of the best lists out of anyone. I liked your list as well.

I put Isn't Anything over Loveless mainly because I heard it first. I found Isn't Anything about ten years ago at the same time with some other dream noise bands like Cocteau Twins. Time between first hearing Isn't Anything and Loveless is just year or something like that but Loveless didn't bring new worlds to my life (and I'm talking about music) like Isn't Anything did. I understand why Loveless is more acclaimed (and nowadays I listen to it more often) but I still think I A has also better songs (Lose My Breath, No More Sorry, Soft as Snow (But Warm Inside) etc.

I've always been a big Björk fan. In 1993 (i was 11) I listened bands like Metallica, Guns n' Roses and Aerosmith but Human Behaviour by Björk was the most interesting video I saw on MTV that year. Björk was very odd (and cute) and something new and it was very nice to see that MTV showed music like that at prime time. Seeing new Björk video was always a little happening (and still is).
Homogenic is my favourite of her albums (last time we have album poll it was my #11 if I remember correctly).
I can't wait to hear new Moomins song The Comet Song (and see the new Moomins movie).

Re: Individual best of albums lists 2 by 2 : pop elton & Henry

No surprise that I put together the classic list. My formative listening years were from 1967 to 1985. I am sure that I was drifting into more conventional and mainstream artists in the mid-80's.

It would be interesting to understand how my selections compared to the second oldest person who submitted a top album list.

I greatly appreciate the wide variety of artists and songs that the rest of the AM forum participants recommend, and hope to expand my listening horizons as time and interest permit.
