I assume Kold himself should be able to provide us with the definitive list then? The perfect 10.0?
Well, come on then...
By the way, I see your "Body Riddle" and raise you "Dig Me" (King Crimson)
It's 26 years old.

I don't think there's a single album there from the last 15 years, but maybe that's how long it takes for an album to become great
There have been some very good recent albums from the likes of Sigur Ros, Fleet Foxes etc but nothing that makes my list. Maybe next time...

I posted up my current list on the thread asking for it. I like King Crimson a lot. Body Riddle is a savage album, I suggest giving it a look. Totem's Flare would also be one of my albums of last year.Waitaminnit...

This is me doing people a service remember?
Ho ho! - impeccable taste, clever and vaguely aloof.
Are you sure you aren't actually David Bowie?
Sorry, maybe I'm blind but where was your list again do you mind me asking?
Have to say this thread is ingenious. Irritating, entertaining, educational and intriguiging in equal measure.0 -

Josh Ritter - The Animal Years (Why are you making me choose albums?
LOve all his music)
Frank Turner - The First Three Years (Technically cheating because it's a compilation album, but has so much great music.
Rory Gallagher - Photofinish
Neil Young - After The Gold Rush
Jimmy Eat World - Bleed American
Dr. Dre - The Chronic
Stephen Lynch - The Craig Machine
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
Bright Eyes - Digital Ash in a Digital Urn (Love all the albums TBH)
Elliott Smith - Either/Or (Couldn't actually decide, love all his albums so threw this down.)
The Postal Service - Give up
Nas - Illmatic
James Taylor - James Taylor
The Libertines - The Libertines
Mic Christopher - Skylarkin'
The Who - Tommy
The Beatles - The White Album
Mick Flannery - White Lies
Lou Reed - Perfect Night Live in London (Compilation album, but still an album)
SOAD - Toxicity.
It's a hard choice choosing albums TBH! And even I am not sure how accurate this is, I had to give it some variety like. But these are 20 of my favourite albums, maybe not my top 20 favourite. And they are in no particular order. Rate me! 0 -

well i meant it's just all quite well-known and for the most part quite revered - with the exception of kino, who are a soviet band, but one of their songs was on the GTAIV sound track for chrissakes. boris aren't exactly underground in terms of the internet pop culture. i was calling the list boring, not the records 0
