Your Absolute Top Ten Albums


aener

Recommended Posts

Joint places are allowed, but a total of ten albums. No compilations or VA's.

I tried making this list out of interest to see what I'm in to at the minute, and it's really hard. So many albums to consider that didn't immediately jump to mind.

Take some time to consider. You'll probably end up re-discovering some very good music in the process. I did.

Mostly for a bit of fun, but might prove useful for people wanting to find new music. See someone post a band you like then try out some of the others in their list.

Here's mine, but it's subject to change. So many I want in there, but can only have ten:

Best last:

10th - Mogwai - Come On, Die Young

9th - Nebulo - Kolia

8th - Amon Tobin - The Foley Room

7th - Empusae - The Hatred of Trees

6th - Venetian Snares - Huge Chrome Cylinder Box Unfolding

5th - Autechre - Oversteps

4th - Massive Attack - Heligoland

3rd - Aphex Twin - Drukqs

2nd - 65 Days Of Static - The Fall of Math

1st - The Flashbulb - Kirlian Selections

I thought I was in to relatively underground music, but my favourite albums turn out to be mostly by pretty big names :giggle:

Oh well - I guess they're successful for a reason, right?

I'm at work at the moment so this may change, but for now

Radiohead- the bends

Dire straights- brothers in arms

Pink Floyd- dark side of the moon

Smashing Pumpkins- Mellon collie and the infinite sadness

Rem- automatic for the people

Oasis- what's the story

The verve- urban hymns

The Prodigy- music for the jilted generation

Aphex twin- Richard d James album

Foo fighters- the colour and the shape

Lots of obvious choices there, I'd probably change a few if I had my cd collection in front of me but most of those are the albums I was listening to when I was younger and having fun, so they stand out more than anything else I can remember.

Hard to say. Despite some albums having a selection of killer tracks it's hard to find one with all amazing tracks, but here's a poor attempt to find my top10.

Oh and OP, you're right, i re-discovered Rancid :D

The Adolescents- Self Titled

The Adolescents- OC Confidential

The Adolescents- Balboa FunZone (though Adolescents have changed members allot)

Sonic Mayhem- Quake 2

Slayer- Reign in Blood

The Fairlanes- Welcome to Nowhere

Frank Klepacki- Viratia

BSE- Driving Insane (i might as well say most stuff on the BSE label is sick)

Ed Rush & Optical- Wormhole

Ed Rush & Optical- Travel the Galaxy

That was easy. Shame i never listed any Blink or Offspring. Like i said loving Rancid at the moment too. My listing is highly contradictory, but whatever, i listen to various stuff.
