The greatest album is.....................................................

Mr. Socko

I seem to notice several magazines and newspapers doing their best of polls(they are such bullsh!t). I want to know what everyone thinks is the best album of the last 2000 years?

TwoShedsJackson

'Nothing's Shocking' - Janes Addiction.

Slosh

GNR - Appetite for Destruction

Although nearly there are Queen - Queen2, and Marilyn Manson - Mechanical Animals and Aerosmith - Rocks.

whitetrash

mellow gold - beck
or
mellon collie and the infinite sadness - smashing pumpkins

WhiteWashMan

the bible....audio cassette version

no seriously......either lights camera reolution by suicidal tendencies, master of puppets by metallica or meddle by pink floyd

2040

Ill Communication - Beastie Boys

Chim Chim

There is only one answer,

NEVERMIND-Nirvana.

has to be Car Boot Soul from Nightmares on wax. They rock live. Oh ya the soundtrack to platoon is always a good one to have playing in the background while getting a few frags.

Rebirth of Cool 5 was a good abblum as well.

KaYoS

Speaking of Microdisney and things Irish, how about 'A Fierce Pancake' by Stump? Though the 'Quark Out' EP was a wee bit better...

Hecate

Moby - Play

most definatly a contender

Kali

cept Meddle.
Dark Side of The Moon is the best album of all time with The Wall closely following.

harVee

hey hectate,
how can you add an album that has been out only a few weeks to the greatest ever list ?

that said, it is quite good and i am off to tower records to buy it in about 10 minutes...

There are several albams I would consider classic,

Nirvana - NeverMind
Pink Foyld - The Wall
Jeff Wayne - War of the Worlds
Queen - Greatest Hits 1/2/3
Chemical Brothers - surrender
REM - Automatic for the people
REM - Out of time
Blur - 13
Metallica - black(Metallica)

Led Zep 3
Irish tour (Rory Gallagher)
Any Undertones album
Meddle/Atom Heart Mother (Pink Floyd)
Beach Samba (Astrud Gilberto)
3 Feet High And Rising (De La Soul)
Press The Eject And Give Me The Tape (Bauhaus)

Anythng by Stump or Half Man Half Biscuit

iggy pop - lust for life
the smiths - the queen is dead
r.e.m. - lifes rich pageant

van morrison - astral weeks (yeah i know this is a real q magazine favourite, but just listen to it)
nirvana - nevermind
tindersticks - second album
the pixies - doolittle
nick drake - every album he ever recorded (5 i think)

theres probably a lot more but am not going to go into my room to look.

if i had to pick one album form this year it would be...

harVee

just thinkin'
there aren't many irish albums here
so...
any album with luke kelly singing "raglan road"

TwoShedsJackson

I have yet to understand what part of 'the best album of the last 2000 years' people dont understand.

THE best means one album, one. List one album. Thats one album, which you beleive to be the best of the last 2000 years. We dont want the whole fu<king list.

btw, The Beatles were fu<king $hite.

harVee

yeah but it's soooooooo hard to decide...

Kali

oooh can i be lame and list out all my albums so that maybe someone will congragulate me on my great taste?
no i dont think i will.
haha

Chim Chim

Why are people writing down lists when Mr. Socko wrote best ALBUM!!!!

The answer to his question is NEVERMIND by Nirvana. There are no other contenders.

harVee

FFS, it's only a dumb poll. on a little bulliten board in a little insignifigent country.
nobody's gonna get hurt if someone can't decide whether they prefer Dark Side of The Moon to The Wall.
How many people have heard even the tiniest fraction of the number of albums that have been released in the last year not to mind the last 2000 (well one hundred really). so to say with authority that

The answer to his question is NEVERMIND by Nirvana. There are no other contenders.

is really a bit of a stab in the dark isn't it.
just relax and write down an album.
or two.

harVey

_CreeD_

Kali, I feel so ashamed.
I will of course commit myself to death by egg-whisk. . . .


Methinks the message is clear, there is no best album. Just be glad there were so many good ones.

Gyck

Kali

and so many bad ones.
which i will also proceed to list out
hehe

MAXpayne

Paradise Lost - Draconian Times
Dimmu Borgir - Enthrone Darkness Triumphant

(fierce smug arn't ye max )

Pencapchew

Nevermind-Nirvana.

TG.>*

Shinji

Metallica - Black

Including "The Best Of..." albums is probably cheating, but U2's best of the 80's album is up there...

Nevermind is good, but not THAT good.
