    To be honest, and this will come off as weird and probably offensive, but if I'm talking to someone in the real world about music and they express a dislike or even apathy for/towards the Beatles, I absolutely just discard their opinion on all music. I can't take them seriously at all. It's like an immediate deal-breaker. My eyes just glaze over. Probably something I should work on...

    Yes, yes, yes, yes
    I do this too
    It's like a switch in my and i don't control it. It just means 'yeah, you can really say want you want about any band i like cos you just lost any musicial respect i had for you'. You don't need to work on it, we're the lucky ones!

    :D
    ...Interesting Simpsons comparision too

    Hi Kold

    Great thread. This is my first post on boards.ie as when I randomly surfed to this thread I felt motivated enough to reply.

    Of course everyone has their own taste but I do believe that there is a measurable element to quality so it is possible to identify bands and musicians that will definitely stand the test of time. However you would have to exclude bands/musicians from the last 5 years as it is too early to tell until a few years have elapsed.

    Another way of looking at this is to look at the various artists who have been the best of certain genres or eras. So you could identify a few who possibly should be on most lists if people were actually listening to albums from all decades (starting with perhaps the 1960s as a cut-off point)

    So a list like this should have to include people such as:

    Elvis
    Beatles/Rolling Stones
    John Coltrane/Miles Davis
    James Brown
    Marvin Gaye/Aretha Franklin/Al Green
    Neil Young
    Bob Marley
    David Bowie
    Nirvana
    Clash/Joy Division
    etc

    Naming the best albums of some of these artists can be tricky as even artists as great as the Beatles & Elvis made patchy albums simply because they made so many and didn't really consider these as an art form. So a Greatest Hits might be the best purchase for some of these - why not!

    Along with these well-known artists are the less well-known ones who have made some stand out albums but didn't define an era or style so to speak:

    There are all sorts in this area such as:

    Nina Simone
    Sigur Ros
    Cocteau Twins
    Jeff Buckley
    Leonard Cohen
    Tom Waits
    Radiohead

    etc. etc.

    As this is an Irish-based forum one thing that always disappoints me is the lack of appreciation of the one figure in Irish rock music that stands head and shoulders above everyone else in terms of serious meaningful music and that is Van Morrison. Now I like Rory and Thin Lizzy etc (but only a tiny amount of U2) as much as the next man in terms of a kind of entree music course but Van with his output is very much more of a main course and he is seen by many worldwide as one of the greatest artists in world music (but not by many in this country for some reason). A prophet in his own country I suppose. I know he has made a few very average albums but some of the good ones he has put out are mind blowing. And the few people who did list him here tend to mention either Moondance and Astral Weeks - both good albums but in my opinion "Veedon Fleece" is his magnus opus. There is an other-worldy quality to that album that after 2-3 listenings can reach parts that other albums never reach. I would recommend this album to anyone who likes depth of emotion/meaning in their music but you do have to listen to it a few times to "get it".

    Anyway best of enjoyment to everybody with their lists which should be informative for all...

Also other artists (elbow, bonnie prince billie, and more) who I may listen to more by disography or individual tracks are not mentioned because i've never really connected with a particular album as a whole

    1. DJ Shadow-Entroducing
    2. Thin Lizzy-Live & Dangerous
    3. Florence & the Machine-Lungs
    4. OST to Assassination of Jesse James...
    5. Faithless-Reverence

    15. Oceans 11 (original album with Frank Sinatra/Dean Martin et al)
    16. Smashing Pumpkins-Melon Collie and...
    17. The Clash-Clash on Broadway (but if that's condsidered cheating, then their live album "From Here To Eternity")
    18. u.n.k.l.e.-Never Never Land
    19. Eddie Vedder-Into The Wild
    20. The Streets-Original Pirate Material

    and that's my lot...!

    My list is severely biased to current listening trends and albums that were significant in my musical journey (all of radiohead, oasis, linkin park, bill withers, eagles, beatles, slint, eits etc.) that i don't listen to much anymore aren't included. Also other artists (elbow, bonnie prince billie, and more) who I may listen to more by disography or individual tracks are not mentioned because i've never really connected with a particular album as a whole

    woe is me a month later and no rating. :(
