EPs count. Studio albums count. Live albums count.

Compilations do not. Sorry.

Rocktopus, please list all the classical works seperately. Otherwise I'll have one person say one album that includes Shostakovich's 4th but is a different album than what you said, and likely neither will make the list. Thanks.

And, moreitsythanyou, if you like The Fire Theft, and early Sunny Day you'll more than likely enjoy the last two SDRE albums. They are basically a combination of the two sounds. The Fire Theft almost continues the evolution of the band.

I took your advice and picked up How It Feels to be Something On today. I'll tell you my thoughts when I listen to it.

I don't mind, but these are all actual album/CD releases. Where do I draw the line for classical work?

Don't list versions, just works:

e.g.

Dmitri Shostakovich - 4th Symphony

and seperately:

Dmitri Shostakovich - 1st Symphony


That way, if someone likes the 4th symphony but has a different release than you do, it still counts towards the same entry. This is simply to eliminate confusion over different recordings of the same pieces of music.

Bah, maybe I do mind a little. Its the double CD containing all Bartok's string quartets I love, not just one quartet. Same thing with the Bach LP, and the Fred Van Hove, Wolfgang Daune split-album.

You can do it that way if you want but only if you want to guarantee it won't make the list.  I simply don't have the time to worry about different versions/recordings/compilations of classical works.  Sorry.

I understand. Its not so much of a problem, really. None of them will make the list anyway.

I'll split the Schubert/Schoenberg and Shostakovich 14 & 15 because it makes sense. But there's plenty of complete Bartok SQ releases (so that would be the natural way of owning/listening/relate to it for most), as they all fit within a doublealbum.

Didn't notice that last bit. Now I gotta make space for Kate Bush, Vangelis, David Bowie, Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin...

And Miles will soon be added here in Jazzfusion. Does he get the not-really-prog freepass like John Zorn? He is not really prog either.
