I concider him the father of noise music and the first in the famous Japanoise scene. Really, anyone in to noise music should check Merzbow.
 
I was also going to mention that he seemed to have a huge discography, more than a 100 probably, but thanks for giving me a more accurate number.
 
I think I should check out some of his work. Though I doubt any of it would be as good as Metal Machine Music.

It may or may not have been the point, I was saying something different.
 
I think he specifically meant Japanese noise music, but anyway, I think the father of noise had become before even Faust.

That's what I was suspecting. Steve Reich could qualify for it.

And you, you have got to check out Faust's debut - a must for every noise music listener. No, they are not Japanese, but German.

I have only 5 of the OP's albums on cd, and a couple of more on vinyl that I haven't listened to in 20+ years, since I no longer have a turntable...

I think Rebirth (1973) and Increase (1977)  are my favorites. Operation (1971) would probably be next.
Yeah, Rebirth and Increase are my favorites, too. With Operation probably next. I especially love the fact that on Increase, they wrote a song as a tribute to the late Helmut Koellen of Triumvirat called "We All Thought We Knew You". It is really a moving song.

There's a good purpose doing this, it would give me a better overview of all the music I like.

Everything has to be evaluated and compared, the physical cd's, the mp3 albums, the albums on spotify and stuff I have heard on internet radio.

The sort of thing you have to consider is if an album that has 10 great songs is better than an album with 5 weak songs plus 5 fantastic songs. And it's also hard to sort out the best from so many music styles. But I'd like to do this..sometime!

Yes, exactly. It's actually been a bit of a pleasant, if at other times (i.e., mostly) an overwhelming experience.

I'm sure we'd all agree with the OP that the staunchly reactionary lists of top 100 albums of all time trotted out dutifully by the music press are extremely tiresome BUT, playing them at their own game smacks of rising to the stale bait innit?

I am pretty pleased that this thread has morphed into a noise appreciation thread. Big smile
I have five Merzbow albums and I find most everything on them vastly more interesting than Metal Machine Music (although I love that album as well.)
