Top 25 Favorite Albums of All Time

[epilogue]

I'm just joshing ya, friend.

Oh, I don't know, lazily throwing up a list of your however-many-favourite-albums-go-fuck-yourself kind of defeats the purpose of the thread. What makes a list like this interesting isn't simply the choices, but the decision making process to pare it down to 25. It forces you to exercise some judgement.

I'm on your team here, friend. Just trying to keep things from getting too heated/serious/dog-piley

You're right.

FUCK THAT GUY!

PHAT POST 25 OR GTFO

I posted the list when I was stoned. I couldn't count to 25.

Don't take it so hard, friend. I left off Neutral Milk Hotel and WILDFLOWERS. And then I went on and on about Wildflowers being underrated.

Bruce & E Street and Jimi Hendrix Experience probably ahead of them for me. Maybe even Metallica as well. But I see what you are saying. It's a tough list to make.

Again I am sad I left off Beck's Sea Change.

You can always amend your list. I don't think anyone's expecting you to have it finalized and laminated or anything. Well, maybe vermin is. I don't know.

Do these need to be ranked in order?

Do these need to be ranked in order?

I don't think so?

No way I could do that. Maybe the top 5-10? But that is about it.

Pearl Jam - vitalogy, no code
Rolling Stones - sticky fingers, exile on main st
Nirvana - nevermind, in utero
Beastie boys - Pauls boutique, check your head
Nas - illmatic
Dr dre - the chronic
Guns n roses - appetite for destruction
Metallica - ride the lightning
Rancid - and out come the wolves

The french CBC radio made a weeklong 25 years throwback (to 1989) and talked about this album today - it reminded me how good that album was. Totally ageless.
