Every so often I run into one of those "100 greatest albums of all time" lists and become very angry and yell at the computer screen about how Radiohead can possibly be ranked higher than King Crimson. So in that same spirit, I decided to make my own top 100 list, and I invite you all to do the same. I have avoided compilations (which unfortunately weeds out a lot of great blues and early rock and roll artists) as well as classical and jazz, keeping this a primarily rock based list. Before you lambaste me too viciously, please note that the list contains only albums I own and have thus had a chance to fully absorb and appreciate. Hence, no Beatles or Rolling Stones since I only own compilations of them. (Also, partially in backlash against Rolling Stone Magazine for included an absurd four Beatles albums in its own top ten list.) Here we go: 1. Jethro Tull A Passion Play 2. King Crimson In The Court of the Crimson King
3. Rush Hemispheres
4. Brian Eno Before and After Science

Yeah, I would say no bootlegs, and I frown on live albums in general since most of them are basically greatest hits collections from the stage.

I actually made one of these recently. The rule then, however, was only one album allowed per artist. So this won't be totally accurate (or totally up to date), but it should be pretty close to the truth. Top 100 in Alphabetical order:

I would have a pretty hard time making the list with one album per artist. I would have to include modern composers and jazz artists I think to pull it off.

I didn't omit jazz (and classical either, if you count The Ascension by Glenn Branca as a classical album) and included very few compilations.
1. Highway 61 Revisited - Bob Dylan
2. Doc at the Radar Station - Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band
3. Kick Out the Jams - MC5
4. Trout Mask Replica - Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band
5. White Light/White Heat - The Velvet Underground
6. Faust - Faust
7. The Parable of Arable Land - The Red Crayola
8. Twin Infinitives - Royal Trux
9. The Velvet Underground and Nico - The Velvet Underground
10. Zen Arcade - Hόsker Dό
11. Surfer Rosa - Pixies
12. The Piper at the Gates of Dawn - Pink Floyd
13. Metal Machine Music - Lou Reed
14. In a Silent Way - Miles Davis
15. The Beatles (The White Album) - The Beatles
16. Nuggets: Original Artyfacts from the First Psychedelic Era, 1965-1968 - Various Artists
17. Bitches Brew - Miles Davis
18. Half Gentlemen/Not Beasts - Half Japanese
19. Out to Lunch - Eric Dolphy
20. Blonde on Blonde - Bob Dylan
Actually, I think I'd better post a list of 200 great albums listed in alphabetical order. I never can decide on an order, and which albums I have to include in the top 100. 200 will be easier.
Ahh, whatever, will post the whole list later.

I'm too lazy to make a list. I'd hacve to go through a hole sh*t load of albums, type them all down, and then go through the stressful task of desciding which I like more.

 This album is regarded as a classic. Take it or leave it.
I actually find it quite relaxing. It's not like if you don't accomplish this take in three minutes, your whole family will turn against you.
They did. HolyMoly just ran out of "goodies" he heard in the past (I presume), so it made its way into top 100. My list is almost done, and it's time for me to sort things out.

I love the lyrics and the vocals very much, and the music isn't bad
The Ascension would be, I think, in the 40s. By the way, do you like John Coltrane's Ascension? I like it much better than A Love Supreme which is his most popular album.
Another TMR fan! YAY!
  Woah, you like MMM too? The one Beatles album that has survived all my changes in taste (I used to be a big Beatles fan in the beginning when I got into music. Alas, no more.) |

It's not really a nostalgia thing either, since Hard Day's Night wasn't one of the albums I grew up with at a young age, though I was familiar with a few of the songs. It's really the later stuff (Sgt Pepper and after) that I was familiar with at a very young age. ------------- My other avatar is a Porsche It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased. -Kehlog Albran |

I agree with you, it was certainly an improvement on their first two albums in terms of quality. The opening of A Hard Day's Night tells everything, the music is filled with a kind of energy that hadn't been there before (contrary to popular opinion, I think Please Please Me is not energetic or fun, not enough to be much good at least, except for Twist and Shout, and even there it's mostly the vocals that are brilliant, and about the only enjoyable song on With The Beatles is It Won't Be Long). ------------- My smile is stuck, I cannot go back to your Frownland. |

Yes I noticed quite a few on your list among my favourites. I know far too much 'new wave' in my list I will get barred at this rate.

Haven't heard any Coultrane, but I've heard a ton of great things about him, so I'll check him out. And, yeah, love MMM, one of the best noise albums ever. If you haven't already, check out Merzbow, his best album, IMO, is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BI-9B-1exjo" rel="nofollow - Merzbuddha , although, you may want to start out with http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=merzbeat&oq=merzbeat&gs_l=youtube-reduced.3..35i39j0i5i10.16652.17004.0.17390.3.3.0.0.0.0.68.195.3.3.0...0.0.Uf_xm1UxwRU" rel="nofollow - Merzbeat. ------------- http://bit.ly/1kqTR8y" rel="nofollow"> The greatest record label of all time! |

I was thinking a useful top 100 for the truly ambitious should be a listing of lesser known and/or obscure prog albums.

I am also a Birth Control fan and have several of their LPs.
When I started collecting imports Hoodoo Man was the first German album I bought. The song Gamma Ray is going through my head as I type.
I think Rebirth (1973) and Increase (1977) are my favorites. Operation (1971) would probably be next.

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! |

I am pretty pleased that this thread has morphed into a noise appreciation thread. 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.) -------------

Impossible to rank in ordre - took 2 hours to make a top 20, still not sure it was right.
Here is my list of 100 albums, weight put on not taking every album from one artist otherwise it would be a list of everything Crimson/Fripp/Zepplin/Peter Gabriel.

I don't know if llama will be cool with that. If that was allowed for, I would be quick to stick in Chopin's "Revolutionary" Etude and the "Posthumous" Nocturne in C#m, as well as the Prelude in Em (op. 24, no. 8). |

Perhaps I should do another list because mine contains classical, jazz, folk, country and pop as well as rock. It is my top 100. Perhaps it is against the spirit of this thread but I find it difficult to stick to genre boundaries. It's up to llama: if he wants, I will delete my list and post a top 100 rock albums instead. ------------- Haiku Writing a poem With seventeen syllables Is very diffic.... |

Took me a few hours to work it out, definitely not final & tried to limit myself from picking too many from my favorite bands (Univers Zero, King Crimson, Pink Floyd). I included some Live albums if they seemed very good or unique examples of a band. Im reasonably happy with the list.

I think I'll do this. I made a top 150 list in 2009 that I might post as well just for comparison... It'll be interesting to see how it changes. It's going to be a lot harder now, I don't think I'm quite as set in my opinions anymore. The top 5 or something might still stay the same. Or not. Some of the "all time favourite albums" that I set in stone in past years don't talk to me the same way anymore now that my life is so different. ------------- http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=42652" rel="nofollow - It's on PA!
