Cracking list Pighead. Must be at least an 8.

Yeah, yeah yeah. It's a safe list but fcuk you to all the haters out there. Nothing wrong with staying safe kids. It's the risk takers that end up dead in a pool of their own self indulgent snobby vomit when they're 27 years of age.

If safe means staying on this wonderful planet for nigh on 80 years then you can call Pighead safe until the cows come home.:cool:

You know it won't be justin that f*ucks you on this one right?

I'll throw mine into the mix at some stage over the weekend. Also what's your scoring scheme or does the almightly Kold brain just 'know' the score on looking at the lists?

I can't say, lest it be abused and people start doctoring their lists in order to score well.

Mr Moon · 15-01-2010 6:21pm

I know I'm not going to score well, but these are MY favourite albums! They've all caught my imagination with me in some way or another growing up. So there's not going to be any off the wall artists that nobody's heard of!

In no particular order...(I had a couple of best of's but got rid of them)

1 The Beatles - Magical Mystery Tour
2 The Doors - The Doors
3 Guns n Roses - Appetite For Destruction
4 Jamiroquai - Return Of The Space Cowboy
5 Jeff Buckley - Grace
6 Kings of Leon - Aha Shake Heartbreak
7 Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin I
8 Nirvana - Nevermind
9 Oasis - Definitely Maybe
10 The Pixies - Doolittle
11 The Prodigy - Music For The Gilted Generation
12 The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses
13 Vampire Weekend - Vampire Weekend
14 Fight Like Apes - And The Mystery Of The Golden Medallion
15 Sigur Ros - Takk...
16 The Beta Band - The Three EP's
17 DJ Danger Mouse - The Grey Album
18 Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago
19 John Butler Trio - Grand National
20 The Arcade Fire - Funeral

Do your worst!!

Kold · 15-01-2010 6:26pm

A solid 4, Mr Moon. Decidedly entry-level but there are a couple of acceptables on that list that shows that you are not completely devoid of potential.

4? Screw you!!!

What let me down, and how does your scoring system work?

It was difficult to pick only 20, if you said top 40 albums I'd have probably got a 6 or 7

abouttobebanned · 15-01-2010 6:31pm

1. Ennio Morricone - Once Upon A Time in America OST
2. Bob Dylan - Desire
3. Manic Street Preachers - Everything Must Go
4. Neil Diamond - The Jazz Singer (yes.)
5. Ennio Morricone - The Mission OST
6. Blur - Parklife
7. Born to run - Bruce Springstein
8. The Wall - Pink Flloyd
9. Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells II
10. Endtroducing - DJ Shadow
11. Songs in the key of life - Stevie Wonder
12. Guns n Roses - Use your illusion 1&2
13. Sigor Ros - takk

That'll do. I don't expect to score too highly, and I don't expect to care.

ntlbell · 15-01-2010 6:34pm

10. Endtroducing - DJ Shadow

Should get you a bonus point imho

If I hadn't have met you I'd call you the most frustrated music snob of all time.
I'll post mine when I'm sober.
Will I get a guaranteed 3 points if I mention a Radiohead, Aphex & Mogwai album?

I've also given this thread 5 stars. Classic.

Oh there are far worse

And it depends on which albums and how much post-Politics Coldplay you put down. :pac:

I'll take tied second place, nothing wrong with a honourable defeat!

Tallaght Saint · 15-01-2010 10:06pm

This is bull****. You're basing your "scores" on whatever type of music you like. You gave a guy 1.8 just because he listed all metal. Nobody has the right to judge another person's musical taste.

Get a grip.
