A welcome to newcomers game

I have another idea for a little game that shouldn't interfere too much with all other games. When someone new posts in this forum we could ask if he/she could come up with a list of favorite albums of all time without presenting the top 10. Then we would try to guess the top 10. The one with most correct guesses wins the game but the real winner is the newcomer who will probably get several very good album suggestions matching his own taste that he hasn't heard yet. Also, I think this could be a good way to welcome new people to the forum.

It really doesn't have to be newcomers to the forum though. Anyone who hasn't participated in our all-time album polls are welcome to present their all-time lists (from place 11 to whatever feels suitable).

Re: A welcome to newcomers game

I'll start.

11. The Shins - Wincing the Night Away.
12. Girl Talk - All Day
13. Milkman - Algorithms
14. The Beatles - Revolver
15. The Tallest Man on Earth - The Wild Hunt
16. Kanye West - The College Dropout
17. The Who - Tommy
18. Bob Dylan - Blood on the Tracks
19. Super Mash Bros. - Fuck Bitches. Get Euros.
20. Spoon - Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga
21. Radiohead - The Bends
22. LCD Soundsystem - This Is Happening
23. The Strokes - Is This It
24. Bob Dylan - The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan
25. Bat for Lashes - Two Suns
26. Luna - Penthouse
27. The Beatles - The Beatles
28. Arcade Fire - Neon Bible
29. Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin
30. Julian Casablancas - Phrazes for the Young
31. David Bowie - Hunky Dory
32. Broken Bells - Broken Bells
33. Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds - Live at Radio City
34. Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes
35. Kanye West - My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
36. The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
37. Bob Dylan - Bringing It All Back Home
38. The Morning Benders - Big Echo
39. Belle & Sebastian - The Life Pursuit
40. Fang Island - Fang Island
41. The xx - xx
42. Jet - Shine On
43. Super Mash Bros. - All About the Scrillions
44. Radiohead - In Rainbows
45. Belle & Sebastian - If You're Feeling Sinister
46. Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti
47. J. Cole - The Warm Up
48. The Beatles - Abbey Road
49. The Smiths - Strangeways, Here We Come
50. Coldplay - Viva la Vida

I'll make a deal to listen to every suggested album I've never checked out.

Re: A welcome to newcomers game

My guess for drewcannon3:

David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust
Arcade Fire - Funeral
Arcade Fire - The Suburbs
The Smiths - The Queen Is Dead
Radiohead - OK Computer
Radiohead - Kid A
LCD Soundsystem - Sound of Silver
Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited
The Cure - Disintegration

Re: A welcome to newcomers game

drewcannon3, this is where the "search" button on this forum comes in handy as you have already posted your top 10 in another thread. Could it be:

1. The Suburbs
2. Funeral
3. VU and Nico
4. Free Energy - Stuck on Nothing
5. Zeppelin IV
6. Highway 61
7. Marquee Moon
8. Born to Run
9. OK Computer
10. Belle & Sebastian Write About Love

If this list is still up to date and Arcade Fire holds your top 2 slots, then I can only recommend albums by other artists who remind me of them. Maybe I'm alone here, but Bruce Springsteen and Echo & the Bunnymen are the first artists that spring to mind when I listen to Arcade Fire. So I'd recommend Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen, and Ocean Rain by Echo & the Bunnymen.

Re: A welcome to newcomers game

Radiohead - OK Computer
LCD Soundsystem - Sound Of Silver
The Arcade Fire - Funeral
Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited
- Blonde On Blonde
Girl Talk - Feed The Animals
Animal Collective - Sung Tongs
Led Zeppelin - IV
Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago
The Avalanches - Since I Left You

Edit: Oops. If Dan M's list is correct looks like I got 4.

Re: A welcome to newcomers game

I've been on the forum for a little over a year, so I've probably mentioned my favorites in one shape or form. But, I've never done the alubms poll.
11. Highway 61 Revisited, Bob Dylan
12. Revolver, Beatles
13. Appetite For Destruction, Guns N' Roses
14. Toys in the Attic, Aerosmith
15. The Doors, The Doors
16. In Utero, Nirvana
17. Grace, Jeff Buckley
18. Bringing It All Back Home, Bob Dylan
19. Rubber Soul, The Beatles
20. The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars, David Bowie
21. Rumours, Fleetwood Mac
22. Doolittle, Pixies
23. Sgt. Pepper's Lonley Hearts Club Band, The Beatles
24. Sticky Fingers, Rolling Stones
25. The Beatles (The White Album), The Beatles
26. Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Elton John
27. Thriller. Michael Jackson
28. Led Zeppelin II, Led Zeppelin
29. Sheer Heart Attack, Queen
30. Let it Bleed, The Rolling Stones

I've been fidgiting with the top 30 for about a month, refusing to expand the list until this part is perfect. I'm not there yet, but it's pretty close to the final result.

Re: A welcome to newcomers game

I'm not a newcomer but I haven't participated in an all-time albums poll yet, simply because I haven't heard enough pre-80s albums to feel comfortable participating in such a poll. But I've recently decided to change that and started by listening to albums from the 50s (the excellent 50s poll that Honorio ran on this forum helped a great deal, and I can't reiterate enough what an enriching experience it was to discover all those gems from the 50s).

So, although I can't post an all-time list just yet, I can safely post a list of my favourite albums from the 50s. Below are my numbers 11-20. For those who participated in the 50s poll or kept an eye on it, I have 4 albums in common with the poll's top 5, although not necessarily in the same order.

11 Elvis Presley - Elvis Presley
12 Duke Ellington - Ellington at Newport
13 Ella Fitzgerald - Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Cole Porter Song Book
14 John Coltrane - Blue Train
15 Charlie Parker & Dizzy Gillespie - Bird & Diz
16 The Crickets - The "Chirping" Crickets
17 Chet Baker - Chet Baker Sings
18 Ornette Coleman - The Shape of Jazz to Come
19 João Gilberto - Chega De Saudade
20 Frank Sinatra - In the Wee Small Hours

1. Led Zeppelin - IV
2. Queen - A Night at the Opera

Damn. This feels unfair.

I've never listened to Ocean Rain, and I'll retry Disintegration and Sung Tongs - it's been awhile for those two.

Re: A welcome to newcomers game

I've been snooping around for quite a long time, so you might well know some of the top picks...

BTW this list is very old and very inaccurate. To take just one example Lou Reed's Berlin would definitely be on this list (possibly even top 10) but I hadn't heard the album when I made the list.

Re: A welcome to newcomers game

drewcannon3

Damn. This feels unfair.


Yeah, sorry about that. It was a bit silly of me to reveal your top 10 - it defeats the purpose of this game (but I didn't think about that at the time). Hope you'll enjoy listening to people's recommendations though.

My guesses for Nick's top 10:
1. The Beatles - Revolver
2. Radiohead - OK Computer
3. David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust
4. The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds
5. Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited
6. Marvin Gaye - What's Going On?
7. The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
8. Prince - Purple Rain
9. The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Are You Experienced?
10. Public Enemy - It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back

For Zorg:
1. Wilco - Summer Teeth
2. Pixies - Doolittle
3. The Zombies - Odessey & Oracle
4. The Beatles - The White Album
5. Radiohead - OK Computer
6. David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust
7. Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited
8. Bruce Springsteen - Born to Run
9. The Beatles - Revolver
10. The Jesus & Mary Chain - Psychocandy

Re: A welcome to newcomers game

Henrik got 5 right, Toni got 7 right, and Dan M got 6 right.

Here's my top ten albums.

1. Revolver- The Beatles
2. OK Computer- Radiohead
2. London Calling- The Clash
4. Pet Sounds- The Beach Boys
5. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band- The Beatles
6. The Beatles ("The White Album")- The Beatles
7. Sound of Silver- LCD Soundsystem
8. Is This It- The Strokes
9. The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars- David Bowie
10. Highway 61 Revisited- Bob Dylan

Re: A welcome to newcomers game

Dan M got 4 right...and interestingly got none of my top 3.

Re: A welcome to newcomers game

I'll give a shot for Listyguy top 10

Jimi Hendrix - Are You Experienced?
Boston - Boston
Led Zeppelin - IV
Sly and the Family Stone - Stand
Van Halen - Van Halen
Queen - A Night at the Opera
Jimi Hendrix - Axis : Bold as Love
Bon Jovi - Slippery When Wet
Nirvana - Nevermind
The Beatles - Abbey Road

I doubt Abbey Road is right but I did not have any other idea, Exile on Main Street did not feel right either... Electric Ladyland maybe, but it was not in his 60s top 10.

Much harder for Zorg, his tastes are much broader.

Re: A welcome to newcomers game

Nassim

Much harder for Zorg, his tastes are much broader.


I'll take that as a compliment!

It is.

Re: A welcome to newcomers game

Here's my top 10:
1. Led Zeppelin IV, Led Zeppelin
2. Boston, Boston
3. Are You Experienced?, Jimi Hendrix
4. Stand!, Sly & Family Stone
5. Abbey Road, The Beatles
6. The Stranger, Billy Joel
7. Exodus, Bob Marley
8. Born in the USA, Bruce Springsteen
9. A Night at the Opera, Queen
10. Axis: Bold As Love, Jimi Hendrix
Nassim got 7. I noticed a few thought "Exile" was in my top 10, probably because they saw two others Stones albums lurking. I also noticed a few thought Bon Jovi was in the top 10. (Yeah...no. Maybe top 50)
Nevermind was also a popular guess, because of "In Utero", presumably. Stragely enough, there is no Van Halen album in my top 30.

Re: A welcome to newcomers game

1 Radiohead- OK Computer
2 Pavement- Slanted and Enchanted

Re: A welcome to newcomers game

For Gillingham:
1. The Beatles - The White Album
2. The Beatles - Please Please Me

Re: A welcome to newcomers game

Zorg

1 Radiohead- OK Computer
2 Pavement- Slanted and Enchanted
3 Beatles- Revolver
4 Beatles- The White Album
5 Television- Marquee Moon
6 The National- Boxer
7 Rolling Stones- Sticky Fingers
8 David Bowie- Low
9 Neutral Milk Hotel- In the Aeroplane Over The Sea
10 Bob Dylan- Highway 61 RV


only 3...

To give some clues, it's a mixture of classics and more "left field" stuff.

6 of the top 10 you can find in AMs top 100.
The lowest ranked album is within the top 1000.

And all of the top 3 were released in the 70s.
And final clue, OK COMPUTER IS NOT IN IT!

Re: A welcome to newcomers game

Zorg:
The Bealtes - Revolver (I remember you said this once)
David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust
Pixies - Doolittle
The Stones - Stickyy Fingers
The Stones - Exile on Main Street
The Clash - London Calling
Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited
Bruce Springsteen - Born to Run
Talking Heads - Remain in Light
Beatles - White Album
Wan't gonna get the "left field" stuff, so I pretty much took a stab in the dark, using the 70's top albums for guidance. For some reason OK Computer was in your top 10.

Re: A welcome to newcomers game

Listyguy got 5 right. One more and I'll reveal what my top 10 is.

Re: A welcome to newcomers game

I think I recall you being a fan of The Wrens, so I'll go with:

1. H61R
2. Meadowlands
3. Marquee Moon
4. London Calling
5. Doolittle
5. Remain in Light
6. Exile on Main St.
7. Revolver (I'll go by Listy's memory)
8. Transformer
9. Born To Run
10. Spiderland

Edit: it has to be wrong, since you said only 6 are in the top 100 and that's 8 right there, so I guess Exile and Born aren't in your top 10.. but I have no idea what is.

Wow great guess. Neither Born to Run nor Exile are as you guessed in my top 10, though another Bruce album is. Great guesses on Spiderland and The Meadowlands.

Drum roll for the anti-climax...

01 The Clash London Calling
02 Television Marquee Moon
03 Bruce Springsteen Darkness On The Edge Of Town
04 Pixies Doolittle
05 David Bowie The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders From Mars
06 Bob Dylan Highway 61 Revisited
07 Slint Spiderland
08 The Beatles Revolver
09 The Wrens The Meadowlands
10 The United States Of America The United States Of America

Re: A welcome to newcomers game

Heh, I seriously never would've guessed The United States of America. Spiderland I also recalled you suggesting to someone as "amazing" or something similar and since I had no clue what else to pick I went with it. If only my memory served me this well in more useful ventures.

Edit: And I completely missed that comment on the top 3 being '70s, that makes my top 2 look a little silly.

Edit #2: What about Transformer? Close to the top 50?

Re: A welcome to newcomers game

Yeah, the USA album is probably the hardest to guess. Indeed it's probably not in my top 10 anymore. And I don't know about Transformer, I've listened to it lots of times, hoping that one day I would just "get" it, but that day hasn't come. In my opinion, Berlin is far far far superior. So i haven't actually got it ranked yet, because I feel I haven't completely heard it yet.

Need to remake my list, things like Remain In Light should definitely be in the top 50, just don't know how to start...
