Urban's greated album of all time.........ever!

[Dubversion]

Are you being sarky? I thought you hated my taste in music?

I don't hate your taste in music - i respect anyone who has a passion for it. I hate the music, though

 

[colacubes]

Off the top of my head and in no particular order:

Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds - The Boatmans Call
PJ Harvey - To Bring You My Love
Orbital - In Sides
Sugar - Copper Blue
Folk Implosion - The New Folk Implosion
Paul Oakenfold - Tranceport
Grant Lee Buffalo - Fuzzy
The The - Dusk
Belly - King
Pulp - This is Hardcore

I need more choices

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

All have played a big part in my life though various periods, some I am more fond of now but I couldn’t hope to put them in any actual order. I am also pretty sure I have missed some out.

1 Let's Play Domination - World Domination Enterprises
2 Psycho candy - Jesus and Mary Chain
3 endless discipline - sexton Ming and his diamond gussets
4 soul mining - the the
5 infected - the the
6 pussy galore - right now
7 blood guts and pussy - the dwarves
8 cold hands - boss hog
9 rock and roll etiquette - guitar wolf
10 isn’t anything - My Bloody Valentine

 

[Dubversion]

Ok..

right.. lots of caveats - there's no soul or reggae in this list, because these aren't primarily albums-based music. If I'd included compilations, it would have the Stax/Volt singles boxed set, perhaps Lee Perry's Arkology or any number of other great reggae collections. But I've tried to stick to 'proper' albums.

1 Sparklehorse Vivadixiesubmarinetransmissionplot
2 Van Morrison Astral Weeks
3 Neutral Milk Hotel In An Aeroplane Over The Sea
4 Leatherface Mush
5 Low Things We Lost In The Fire
6 Thin Lizzy Live & Dangerous
7 The Smiths The Queen Is Dead
8 The Flaming Lips Clouds Taste Metallic
9 Shellac 1000 Hurts
10 Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds Henry's Dream


These are all albums I've played constantly since I got them (in Van's case, for more than a quarter of a century ) and while other artists drift in and out - Joanna Newsom is a recent contender for Milk Eyed Mender, for example - they haven't quite taken up permanent residence yet.

picking a Nick Cave album was REALLY hard

 

[The Groke]

.

picking a Nick Cave album was REALLY hard

Jebus, and I forgot him altogether!




See, my brain isn't capable of resolving this thorny issue in a satisfactory fashion, so I am going to solve my dilemma by sulking and deleting my choices.

Not playing any more.

 

[Yetman]

2. Prefab Sprout - Steve McQueen
3. Smiths - Queen is dead
4. ZZ Top - Tejas
5. John Martyn - Bless the Weather (or solid air/one world...its a hard choice)

10. Specials - Specials

Folk Implosion - The New Folk Implosion

I like 'one part lullaby'...have to check out the new folk implosion one not heard it.

 

[The_Reverend_M]

Personally I was quite dissapointed by it compared to 'one part lullaby' - was suprised to see it someone's Top 10.

 

[skyscraper101]

Off the top of my head and in no particular order:
Sugar - Copper Blue
Belly - King

Also two of my favorites Nipsla

Right my list:

Goldie - Timeless
Underworld - Second Toughest In The Infants
Massive Atack - Blue Lines
Leftfield - Leftism
The Orb - The Orb's Adventures Beyond The Ultraworld
Guns N Roses - Appetite For Destruction
Prodigy - Music For The Jilted Generation
Lemonheads - Its A Shame About Ray
Radiohead - The Bends
Nirvana - Nevermind

There are SOOO many I had to ponder over putting in or not at the expense of another. like Jeff Buckley - Grace, Beth Orton - Trailer Park, Dark Side Of The Moon, The White Album - Beatles, The Black Album - Metallica, etc etc...instead I decided to go for my favorite albums released exclusively in my lifetime which AT THE TIME meant so much, and remain amoung my all time favorites - not least because I was there when they were released and felt the vibe of the time.

 

[Dubversion]

Lemonheads - Its A Shame About Ray

actually, that could have made mine..

 

[maya]

oh, the music you make...

Serge Gainsbourg- L'Histoire de Melody Nelson
Brian Eno- Before and After Science
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan- Night Song
Blade Runner O.S.T.
some british folk/psych stuff, insert token album
The KLF- Chill Out
Ennio Morricone- Once Upon A Time In The West
Kraftwerk- the earliest albums
A Guy Called Gerald- Black Secret Technology
and that italian electronic/avant-pop dude from the 70's... ( )

 

[Dubversion]

Brian Eno- Before and After Science

see, i nearly included .. Warm Jets or Tiger Mountain, but I've never warmed to that album..

 

[maya]

see, i nearly included .. Warm Jets or Tiger Mountain, but I've never warmed to that album..

actually i would've rated those two other albums higher, but BAAS imo is the only one of the trilogy that's actually got a coherent feeling all the way through- so it's the album as a whole, rather than the individual songs (TTMBS and HCTWJ have all got STUNNING songs, but some not-so-good-ones in between which drags it down on my internal "rating"-scale..)

(i.e.- you can put it on and crawl up in the favourite chair and fall asleep while enjoying the music wash over you, while with the other two albums i have to run back and forth and skip over the songs i don't like...grr)

 

[Sunspots]

see, i nearly included .. Warm Jets or Tiger Mountain, but I've never warmed to that album..

I almost included ...Warm Jets too.

Apart from Third Uncle, I really can't get on with Tiger Mountain.

I used to have Before And After Science, but can't remember what's on it. (King's Lead Hat?)

 

[maya]

I used to have Before And After Science, but can't remember what's on it. (King's Lead Hat?)

kind of skittering bass and that song with the Kurt Schwitters sample spouting nonsensical stuff (Merzbau?) all over the place...
the last part drifts off into ambient/synth-based mellow stuff (collaborations with Moebius and a similar guy IIRC)

 

[skyscraper101]

Right my list:

Goldie - Timeless
Underworld - Second Toughest In The Infants
Massive Atack - Blue Lines
Leftfield - Leftism
The Orb - The Orb's Adventures Beyond The Ultraworld
Guns N Roses - Appetite For Destruction
Prodigy - Music For The Jilted Generation
Lemonheads - Its A Shame About Ray
Radiohead - The Bends
Nirvana - Nevermind

Dammit...I so forgot to add Portishead - Dummy!!!!!! How could I forget one of my favorite albums ever.. But at the cost of who? Nirvana or Lemonheads? It's an impossible choice!!!!!

 

[Dubversion]

I used to have Before And After Science, but can't remember what's on it. (King's Lead Hat?)

But why's it called Kings Lead Hat? win a prize

D'you know what? As I typed it, I did wonder how long it'd be before somebody would ask the question...

I know, but I'll leave it for somebody else to answer...

 

[Dubversion]
