Surely on the forum electronic music has good publicity and a whole lot of users who listen to electronic music on a regular basis. <br /> <br /> Now, the problem may be that this records you speak of are much more recent than say, The Beatles or Led Zeppelin or Pink Floyd, who have have 45-35 years to infuse everybody's minds - and more chance to get into top 100 lists. And if you look at other, more recent acts (say, Radiohead, Björk,...) who seem to vulgarize other people's researches (Lali Puna, Matmos et al) it seems to me at least partly accountable for that they should be more popular than more obscure electronic acts - inasmuchas they render "acceptable", "nice", "cool" etc. what could be taken for something maybe somewhat arid to some.<br /> <br /> The other problem I have is with your picks - but that's probably a matter of taste. <span style="font-style: italic">Drukqs</span> is not Aphex's best, <span style="font-style: italic">Psyence Fiction </span>has aged some, Fatboy's is little more than a collection of singles (enjoyable for sure). I don't know Deadmau5 and The Glitch Mob. Disclosure is pretty recent. I thoroughly dislike Justice and The Prodigy - but that's me. Out of your picks, only <span style="font-style: italic">Dig Your Own Hole</span> strikes me as being very good, and I don't think it's particularly disregarded.<br /> <br /> Now, that doesn't mean you're entirely wrong - if we take the general charts rather than the forum into account, that is.

But I think there is some truly good stuff that doesnt get much praise in this site. Other than Daft Punk, few or none bands are considered. <br /> <br /> So the purpose of this thread is to list your favorite albums of the genre and to discuss why do you think they might be left behind, by either you or the site in general.<br /> <br /> My personal favorites<br /> <br /> Justice - Cross (657 in the Overall Chart)<br /> UNKLE - Psyence Fiction (2581- Overall Chart)<br /> Aphex Twin - Drukqs (2234)<br /> Disclosure - Settle (4840)<br /> The Prodigy - The Fat of The Land (334)<br /> Daft Punk - Homework (553)<br /> Deadmau5 - For Lack of a Better Name (4780)<br /> The Chemical Brothers - Dig Your Own Hole (883)<br /> Fatboy Slim - You've Come A Long Way, Baby (1343)<br /> The Glitch Mob - Drink The Sea (33050)<br /> m83 - Hurry Up, We're Dreaming (654)<br /> <br /> I consider all those in that list, brilliant albums from start to finish, and the highest entry in the overall rank is 334. I´m not saying they deserve a higher entry, Im just suggesting a general underappreciation of the genre. https://www.besteveralbums.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=255308#255308 meruizh Fri, 1 Nov 2013 14:11:48 GMT https://www.besteveralbums.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=255308#255308
