Post your favourite 20 albums and I'll rate your musical taste out of 10

Kold · 15-01-2010 4:33pm #1

Being a musical snob isn't easy. Sometimes I wish I could put my impeccable taste to the back of my mind and just enjoy the bad music but alas that is not the case.

Music is subjective? To an extent. However, I spend all my time listening to music and now wish to give back to the community by letting you people know where you are in terms of taste. So don't be shy, list your favourite albums and I shall give you a rating. You're welcome.

Also, when listing your favourite albums, who actually wants to pare it down to 10!? Minus .3 from both your scores.

Spiritualized: Ladies and Gentlemen we Are Floating in Space.
Suede: Dog Man Star
Belly: Star
Cerys Matthews Never Said Goodbye

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:

lordgoat · 15-01-2010 5:55pm

What an amazing thread. Made me laugh out loud (or lol as internetters call it)

I really hope Karl posts his top 20. Pighead's would be fun too.

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?

Funkfield · 15-01-2010 5:55pm

1. Battles - "Mirrored"
2. Blind Melon - "Soup"
3. The Boredoms - "Super Roots Vol. 7"
4. Can - "Future Days"

7. Grapelli/Reinhardt - "Quintet du Hot Club De France"
8. Eric Dolphy - "Out to Lunch"
9. Faith No More - "Angeldust"
10. Genghis Tron - "Board Up The House"

17 Oysterhead - "The Grand Pecking Order"
18 Pantera - "Vulgar Display Of Power"
19 Pig Destroyer - "Phantom Limb"

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

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!!

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.

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:
