Top 50 Albums

[Baz]

If you go to http://top50.topsters.net/ you can make a fancy list of your top 50 albums ever.

I made this one:

No doubt there are some glaring omissions but I can't think of any at the moment.

Let's critique and compare.

Hot Rats is a top album. Ummm....dunno otherwise. I love my Jazz nowadays though

Hot Rats is a top album.

When a film gets made about my life, Peaches en Regalia will be in the opening sequence.

[Spoonsky]

This is a neat website, but how do you get the list on the right?

Classical music is underrepresented as I don't really listen to albums of that.

[igor_balis]

Elliott Smith Illmatic

Change Captions from Disabled to On The Right.

EDIT: urgh, Beirut.

I always imagine it to be fucking awesome menu music to a GTA game set in the period.

[Dan]

Transplants

What an odd variety of music you listen to, Mike - Transplants, Natasha Beddingfield, Neil Diamond & Bomfunk MCs, to name but a few that surprised me. Outstanding work.

I'll try to come up with a list of my own but I can't even think of five albums at the minute, so I'm bound to miss loads.

[Giggles]

Good looking website but 20 would be plenty.

I felt I missed 30-40 classics at least. Needed 100 really.

I meant it in a good way!

If I can think of fifty albums I'm sure my list will be similarly diverse.

EDIT: Got most of the way through then accidentally refreshed the page & lost it all

Cheers.

Probably forgotten a few.

[Shindig]

Acrobatic Tenement? Really? As much as I like them, not a chance that'd make mine.

[-james-]

Relationship of Command is such a great album. Should probably be on mine.

[Giggles]

Can you rearrange them? I got halfway through the yellow and had forgot one that I wanted earlier.

[Dan]

There we go. I'm awful at ranking stuff since I my favourites change all the time & my memory is shit, but it's a reasonably accurate list.

Do you have to have an account to do the captions? Can't see the option.

EDIT: Nevermind, I'm a fuckwit. Updated the image.

[Alex Ferguson]

Mine is in stark contrast to everyone's list.

Midnight Marauders.

[Serj]

Picking out the "classics" is hard. Also, I realized there's hardly any new stuff on here compared to if I'd done the list two years ago. I need new music.

[Multi]

I'm taking this to the hiphop thread as to not annoy you guys with our lists of 50 albums you never heard of, but here's my list as I made it anyways.

[Alex Ferguson]

Midnight Marauders.

My all-time favourite hip hop album. I wouldn't be a producer if it wasn't for that.

Some great selections on there, I must say.

[wullie]

[Giggles]

Superunknown

Forgot that one.

[Alex Ferguson]

Ah, Wullie! Long time no see. Nice to see some more diverse lists.

[-james-]

I dunno man, I think this is a pretty diverse thread. Don't think there are any two posters with more than three or so albums in common.

[Baz]

Would be good if there was a similarity comparison thing like on Last.FM. I think my most similar so far is Wullie, in that he has quite a lot of hiphop amongst other stuff, albeit not necessarily matching records.

[Tubes]

First post on the new forum. I could have easily done 100.

[Giggles]

I think Tubes is the closest to mine with three. Reminds me I bloody forgot Bright Eyes too. I'm Wide Awake It's Morning should have been in my second section, was only listening to it the other day. Digital Ash in a Digital Urn would have made it in there too.

[Spammer]

Mine doesn't have the names of the albums which is a bit annoying.

Yep.

Mars Volta, @Tubes

[Tubes]

Not high enough but there wasn't much room and I like a lot of music!

[Giggles]

Hammers top 3

[The Merse]

Acrobatic Tenement? Really? As much as I like them, not a chance that'd make mine.

It's a big drinking n dancing album for me and a couple of mates.

[The Merse]

All you hipsters.

Los Campesinos! and Chvrhces

You've also reminded me that Sound of Silver really should have been in mine somewhere.

Can't believe I missed Radiohead too.

[leedsrevolution]

Probably forgotten a few.

Yuck

[Alex]

Yuck

I'll second the Yuck love. I played the shit out of that record. Although that second album, after the main guy left, was really bad.

I'm going to try and make one of these. I'm usually too indecisive to put things like this together though.

I forgot about LCD Soundsystem. This is why I needed 100 albums.

[leedsrevolution]

[Spoonsky]

The one album almost everyone has got is Nas - Illmatic.

Found it hard to leave a few albums out, but I could be there for ages.
