I really truly love a few Butthole Surfers albums namely Locust Abortion Technician and Hairway to Steven. I don't see why either of them shouldn't crack a top 50, I got LAB in mine. Definetely not for everybody, but that's why its my top 50, and not everybody's.

I agree.

I picked it up 3 weeks ago : entertaining album that found a way of reinventing good old rock n' roll.

I find myself always boing back and forth being the only one who has Sigue Sigue Sputnik. Maybe there's a reason to that...

But I know there's some band that shouldn't even be considered on BEA, but they are.

Bakesale was very good though and Harmacy had its moments. But you're right. Their fiercely democratic yet schizophrenic approach to the band sort of guaranteeed that they wouldn't be a best ever album type of band. Ever see them live? I saw them three times. Their performances could range from very good to HORRIBLE.

Rod's vocals appear on four albums on this sight. Two of those on are on my chart so somebody agrees with you

Thanks for pointing that out 8 track, The Rod Stewart Album, Gasoline Alley, Every Picture Tells a Story, Never a Dull Moment, Atlantic Crossing, A Night on the Town, and most of the Faces albums are all really strong, consistent, and still sound great today. There should be no shame in liking great music, even if the artist is now a sad shell of what they once were....

I think I understand this, these bands have made great music that I enjoy, but haven't made one truly amazing album:

Beat Happening

Billy Bragg- Back to Basics is my favorite, think it's compilation of some kind though, not sure

Deerhoof

Townes Van Zandt

Elliot Smith- Sorry to the big fans, he made some great music, but not one defining album

XTC- Hurts to say that cause I love Skylarking and Drums and Wires so much

Rod Stewart- I'm sure I'll get shit for this but he made some incredibly good albums from 69' to the mid 70's

Nick Cave- It's kind of the burden of consistently making really strong albums, it's hard to point to just one and say it's far superior to the others.

Venetian Snares, Squarepusher

Randy Newman

I think it's ridiculous to say Sinatra never made a classic, perfect album, shit he made more than one: In The Wee Small Hours, (Sings For) Only The Lonely, Songs For Swingin' Lovers. He's kind of the originator of the Nick Cave syndrome, too much of a good thing.

I've been listening to the two Franz Ferdinand albums I have pretty heavily since seeing them in Montreal a week ago. I hadn't paid much attention to them before, but I admit now I really like them. But there's zero chance of them making my top 50 list - maybe a top 100 list at this point, but not top 50. It's fun music, not great music. Still, very percussion-driven band, and I was extremely impressed to see the 4-man drum solo on one drum set.
