Thanks Pablo.  It just had to be done, Stardust and Space Revolver are so good.  Your list is pretty good too by the way.
 
Going For The One just has to be right near the top.  I love that album, it's still a heavenly experience for me and I have to rate Awaken as possibly the ultimate prog track.

Oh yeah, this again. I missed it the last time so now I'll better get down to it...


edit: Aaargh, I didn't remember how difficult it was trying to make the songs list a couple of months back Confused I've got 13 brilliant albums fighting for a place in the top 10, how can I make them all fit? After much thinking back and forth I managed to drop three already. And this is only the beginning, about 150 to go...

I'm considering writing a list, but I don't think I will this year. I haven't listened to enough good albums yet, and I don't really have many albums I'd call "favorites".
 
Maybe next year. Wink

I'm sure you can think of at least 50 greats. And the list can always use more input without question. Do your best!

I'm better than dirt. Well, most kinds of dirt, not that fancy store-bought dirt... I can't compete with that stuff.

Here are 50 of my favourite albums. The list will probably be entirely different next time (but for a few). However, I slightly alter the rules for myself: Only one album per artist. Actually I think this should be a general rule for this poll to avoid fanboyism (or fangirlism). I will also restrict myself to studio albums (else my list would probably consist of live albums only lol). Ok, here goes:

1) Peter Hammill - The Fall of the House of Usher (1999 version)
2) Mother Gong - Fairy Tales
3) Nik Turner - Xitintoday (the 1978 version, not the reworked one)
4) Van der Graaf Generator - Pawn Hearts
5) Gong - You
6) Amon Düül 2 - Tanz der Lemminge
7) Can - Tago Mago
8) Edgar Froese - Epsilon in Malaysian Pale
9) Hawkwind - Warrior at the Edge of Time
10) Robert Calvert - Captain Lockheed and the Starfighters
11) Robert Wyatt - Ruth is Stranger than Richard
12) Embryo - Rocksession
13) Guru Guru - Känguru
14) Brainticket - Cottonwoodhill
15) High Tide - Sea Shanties
16) Steve Hillage - Green
17) Ash Ra Tempel - Join Inn
18) Brand X - Unorthodox Behaviour
19) Magma - Mekanik Destruktiw Kommandöh
20) Clearlight - Clearlight Symphony
21) King Crimson - Lizard
22) Cosmic Jokers - Galactic Supermarket
23) Dzyan - Electric Silence
24) Nektar - Recycled
25) Frumpy - All Will be Changed
26) Here and Now - Give and Take
27) Space Explosion - Same
28) The Red Masque - Victoria and the Haruspex
29) Tangerine Dream - Rubycon
30) Klaus Schulze - Mirage
31) Gentle Giant - Octopus
32) Yes - Relayer
33) Genesis - The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway
34) Matching Mole - Little Red Record
35) Soft Machine - Three
36) Between - And the Waters Opened
37) Captain Beyond - Same
38) Hoelderlin - Clowns and Clouds
39) Frank Zappa - Hot Rats
40) The Residents - Eskimo
41) Henry Cow - Legend
42) Art Bears - Hopes and Fears
43) Robert Fripp - Exposure
44) Offering - A Fiièh
45) Achim Reichel - Die grüne Reise
46) Ozric Tentacles - Jurassic Shift
47) Daevid Allen - N'Existe Pas *
48) Annexus Quam - Oamose
49) Kraan - Andy Nogger
50) Greenslade - Bedside Manners Are Extra

*I just noticed that the Daevid Allen discography is VERY incomplete. I will do something about that, but I am not sure I can get the cover pics of all his albums.

There are a lot of artists missing, but I want to restrict myself to fifty nominations. Also, as mentioned before, only one album per artist, and no live albums.
You will notice there is not much new stuff in the list, and that's because I don't think there is much good new stuff. Some of the old heroes still make great albums, but they are mostly represented with older stuff in my list, though I might have picked some newer albums. But the interesting new stuff I listen to mostly does hardly fit into the archives (like the French trio Hadouk, for example).
I am pretty sure I forgot a lot of my favourite artists (Jean already nudged my ribs about that, but she will have her chance in a moment).

190    Fleet Foxes    Fleet Foxes    n/a    n/a

Very interesting list Clap Masses of albums that either are on my list or I was considering them or have been listening to recently. Especially nice to see some brand new releases like Portishead and Fleet Foxes, they're both on my shopping list waiting for the next visit to the beloved Keltainen Jäänsärkijä. I wasn't aware that we were allowed to put EP releases on the list as well, I might have added a couple by NOFX, Circusfolk and Alice in Chains.

It's more of a subjective list. The order is based on the impact an album has made in my life, and not how I think it has made an impact on soceity or in the world of music.

Thanks! It's a very special album for me, even though I realize it's not perfect. But like I said, I based the list on the impact of the albums in my life. I wonder what happened to the back-up band that played in that album, I never heard from them again...

Edited my list on page 2 by adding two new albums (in bold) and adding a comparison to last years list. Its amazing what doubling my CD collection has done to it!

Glad to see someone else with Surfing with the Alien. Perhaps the best guitar album of all time.
You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.
