Looks like flattery will get you somewhere, Tilly.

Of course it's slang I don't understand, yet again I'm reminded of Australian I am.

Fixed for you. 😜 That Atlas album rules!!!

edit: I like Loaded (of course), but their first three albums (and even VU for that matter) tower over it. Still Loaded is a GREAT rock n'roll album. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE seeing Painful #1! You're a bad man, Komo!

The remaining space would've been taken up by something like Locust Abortion Technician, Surfer Rosa, or The Greatest Gift.

Nice! My initial chart wouldn't be too far from this. Except I'd probably pick Fun House, Bleach & Velvet Underground's self-titled or the Nico one.

I still listen to X and Butthole Surfers frequently; I still consider all these albums to be great; none of these albums are in or will ever be in my top 100 again though

oh it must be a thing where you can only see your own. but yeah heads up there's a dropdown menu above where the albums get listed that you can see this stuff for your own charts.

here's my list and what happened in parenthesis

1) Fenn O'Berg - Return Of Fenn O'Berg (unchanged)
2) Animal Collective - Here Comes The Indian (swapped for Sung Tongs now and it's lower)
3) Can - Tago Mago (this slipped a little)
4) Wobbly - Wild Why (this slipped a little)
5) Max Tundra - Some Best Friend You Turned Out To Be (this tumbled down to 30, still a fantastic album tho)
6) Boredoms - Super æ (this jumped up a little)
7) Terry Riley - A Rainbow In Curved Air (swapped for Persian Surgery Dervishes and it tumbled to 19)
😎 Charles Mingus - Black Saint And The Sinner Lady (swapped for Let My Children Hear Music and it's lower)
9) AFX - Hangable Auto Bulb (swapped for Syro once that came out and it's higher)
10) Boards of Canada - Music Has The Right To Children (this has fallen to 25, amazing album tho)
11) Bird Show - Lightning Ghost (swapped for Ben Vida - Slipping Control once that came out, it's a bit lower)
12) Fennesz - Endless Summer (this dropped a lil bit)
13) Radiohead - Kid A (I'm far away from the person who loved this album so much and it's fallen out of my top 100 entirely but it's still a great album)
14) Keith Fullerton Whitman - Occlusions (swapped with Hrvatski - Oiseaux 96-98 and went higher)

Weird, I was just looking at my first 100-album chart earlier today. My top 10 is more or less unchanged (the top four are still in my top 5), but after that my first chart was pretty heavy on 5 or 6 different artists and is much more diverse now. Some highlights I remember:

- Stone Roses was my #8 overall and isn't on my chart anymore
- Mellon Collie was at #10 and probably won't be on my chart at next update
- There was no hip hop and very little that couldn't be described as rock
- There are a few albums (mostly from Foo Fighters, Pink Floyd, and RHCP) that I don't even have in my collection anymore and haven't heard in years

Overall the differences aren't that odd considering I hadn't heard a lot of my favorite albums 4 years ago. It's weird seeing some of my current favorites sneak in at the end though, like Bee Thousand which has risen from the 90s into my top 20.

That probably isn't the right order...I remember Neutral Milk Hotel being in there to somewhere.

So I went from Punk/Metal with some minor exceptions to Indie Pop and now a bit of everything....but I do love Folk and Shoegaze
