    Here's what happened today. Tomorrow I'll probably kick myself very hard at what I've forgotten, or more likely I'll realise there's a lot of stuff that should be on my ipod but isn't.

    Beck - Mellow Gold
    The National - Alligator
    The Clash - London Calling
    The Doors - The Soft Parade
    Faust - Faust IV
    The Grateful Dead - American Beauty
    The Rapture - Echoes
    The National - Boxer
    Velvet Underground - White Light White Heat
    LCD Soundsystem - LCD Soundsystem (2 disc)
    The Kinks - ... are The Village Green Preservation Society
    Messiah J & The Expert - What's Confusing You?
    Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin III
    Vampire Weekend - Vampire Weekend
    Lou Reed - Transformer
    Television - Marquee Moon
    The Wedding Present - Sea Monsters (2 disc)
    David Bowie - Hunky Dory
    2Many DJs - As Heard On Radio Soulwax Pt. 2
    Talking Heads - Speaking in Tongues

    Trying to avoid cheating and including any "best of" albums and I'm assuming that includes live albums... but if it doesn't

    Stop Making Sense - Talking Heads
    Who's Last - The Who

    Couldn't possibly get it down to 20, but if I leave out live albums and compilations, and only allow one from any band, I can whittle the very best down to 30 :D


    All About Eve - All About Eve
    Biosphere - Microgravity
    Blue Aeroplanes - Stagger
    Bob Dylan - Blood on the Tracks
    Can - Tago Mago
    Dead Can Dance - Aion
    Gong - Camembert Electrique
    Pink Floyd - Meddle
    Doors - LA Woman
    Derek and the Dominoes - Layla and other Love Songs
    Fields of the Nephilim - The Nephilim
    Flaming Lips - Hit to Death in the Future Head
    Grant Lee Buffalo - Fuzzy
    The Stooges - Raw Power
    JJ Cale - Naturally
    Jane's Addiction - Ritual de lo Habitual
    Jesus and Mary Chain - Psychocandy
    Jimi Hendrix - Electric Ladyland
    John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers - A Hard Road
    Joy Division - Closer
    Kraftwerk - Autobahn
    Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin

    Spiritualized - Laser Guided Melodies
    Slint - Spiderland
    Smiths - Meat is Murder
    Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation
    Tool - Lateralus
    Velvet Underground - White Light White Heat


    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...

    Ah now-no need for sarcasm. Good albums are good albums-are you saying people should not pick out albums that are head and shoulders above the rest- because they are common choices?? They are common choices because they are superb albums. Sure,some albums never get a wide enough audience for their greatness to be acknowledged but I honestly doubt they would surpass any of the albums I picked! Perhaps they deserve a top 50 slot but not top 10.

    Check with most newspaper/music site music critics who are well versed (because of free samples and time), and I reckon they would mostly concur with my choices.Oh-its jagged little pill for Morrisette not bitter little pill. That doesnt mean I or anyone should mimic their choices. I own and value all my top ten.

    Some of the choices I have seen here make no musical/artistic sense. You do have rock snobs who will list little known albums just to display their "Knowledge" Good music should generally make it most listeners' attention -if you haven't heard of it and are generally interested in music ,then most times, in my view it cant be that good!
