Haha!

I was never clear whether he was asking for recs to buy or to listen to. I imagine he, like many of us, still has albums he really likes he hasn't bought yet, so he should probably pick up those before seeking purchase recs from a music forum -- especially with all the options to listen to albums before you buy these days.

my rating though... i gave it a 60. i rate on average much, much higher than most people here. a 60 isn't a great score for me. it probably means something like, "i'm disappointed mostly because i know you could've done better".

Not quite sure why you're reccing it.

i'd give this one a spin.

I am nearly in physical pain looking through the long list of great albums you've rated lower than this :lol:

meh. it gets more roast than it merits. i mean, it's not a great album, but it's not entirely unbearable. there were a couple songs on here that i thought were the sweetest piss ever when i was 13, so i got to give them some credit for that. they presented themselves as a rock band, but they were mostly a boys band writing pop music for the edgy kids. to be honest, i hadn't listened to this record in years and tried to listen through it after posting it here the other day, and i don't think i quite made it through a single track. i quite nearly made it through arms wide open and higher though.

my rating though... i gave it a 60. i rate on average much, much higher than most people here. a 60 isn't a great score for me. it probably means something like, "i'm disappointed mostly because i know you could've done better". i generally reserve sub-50s for musicians that really couldn't've done any better.

It looks like you're following the generally acknowledged charts of Greatest Albums. And they are. But one needs to follow their heart. Of those first 40 albums you listed, surely there must be some that appeal to you more than others. Maybe follow those artists out, and come to some kind of understanding. There is always time then, to delve onto other artists and genres. I can post here and say that IMO "Star Time" , James Brown is some of the greatest music ever put down, but it could leave you cold. I have always believed that discovering music is a journey.

Going from your chart I would suggest:

Songs In The Key Of Life by Stevie Wonder

it's long but it's worth it

Hunky Dory by David Bowie

Never Mind The Bollocks, Here's The Sex Pistols by Sex Pistols

classic punk album

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers

that's my rec's. happy listening mate

I recommend the first two opinions Big Star and Black Sabbath, but there is a lot work to do when you want to hear so much music 😁

Yeah, so I had a sconce at your overall chart also and have pulled out a few albums you may enjoy, I see also you're a fan of the Rolling Stone 500 Albums chart also which isn't a bad starting point, I perused it quite a bit when I was still a tyke, so it might be no harm in just picking albums you haven't heard off that, just whatever catches your attention and in time you'll find more and more stuff you like and what areas you tend to gravitate towards more in terms of your tastes (be it genres, labels, etc.), there's plenty of wonderful folks on this site who'll send you on the right track. Anywho, I digress, try out these if you'd like:

Veedon Fleece by Van Morrison
Based on your inclusion of Astral Weeks in your top 20 you may get something from this, as much as I love Astral Weeks, this just beats it out everytime and I've a hunch I'm not the only one round these parts that feels that way.

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan by Bob Dylan
Obligatory rec of my (current) favourite Dylan album (Nashville Skyline has clambered into a close second though as the girlfriends father gave me a copy and I've been spinning it a lot more ever since).

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye
With What's Going On being in your top 10 you should no doubt get something from this (or also Here My Dear).

I reckon these are some decent jumping off points (along with Jimmy's Big Star rec which I heartily second). Happy listening!

Being serious for a minute - I don’t think you’d go far wrong sinking your teeth into Big Star’s discography. Relatively concise, would fit in nicely to what your Overall chart features, and above all some well-crafted power pop that should hopefully resonate:

#1 Record by Big Star

Radio City by Big Star

3rd by Big Star

I don't know what you've heard already. You seem to like the Rolling Stone top 500 list. You could listen to the next albums on there you haven't heard yet and work your way up. Of you could do the same thing with the Overall Chart here, as a start.
