Listening to them often enough is hard to do for time reasons, but there are well over 1,000 albums I consider very good.

I stand corrected.

I've never allowed my collection to grow that big. During the used CD store era (I think that's still a phenomenon), if I found I didn't like an album after several listens or long periods of dormancy, I would trade it or sell it back. I don't think it's possible to say you have 1000 albums in your collection, listen to, and like all of them. Maybe I'm wrong. 🤔 Of course, I know that's not what this thread said, it's just my personal policy. Anyway, including on my computer, I don't think I have more than 500-600 albums.

I'd like to make a list of 1000 albums, but in the end I'd just put up a bunch of albums I dislike for the sake of fillers.

ok, it looks like a few of you have tried this. after whittling out singles and double album double-representation and the like, i only have about 3,000 albums to rank. So i'm going year-by-year first, then i'll extend the decade lists, then the all-time list. i assume i'll become bored in tedium before finishing, but i begin determined nonetheless.

I'm sort of doing that but I don't have a written plan to do it 😲 I just take the new music from everywhere

My rank only 250 album up. The number will grow, when I come to make a list of decades (maybe next summer?) 350-360 listed on the disc. Why make a huge listing? Ok, here I talk with my colleagues ... 🙏 I call the tip of albums My favorite things250. 250 next, I call the disc gangs named Second Hand Albums. These are only in my mind the irregular list. Is not the favorite lists have a pyramid-shaped structure? So, in the same place is more of a disc. I could shed light on the lower ranks, from the same can be found in places such as Tupelo Honey, Eliminator, Brothers in Arms ... I also make lists of the movies, and I do not have them no longer set to the same lists. I have created the movies such as titles, a sister list, a list of alternative, parallel list, a list of undervalued ... Orson Welles' Citizen Kane (1941) simply does not fit the same category as Todd Haynes movie Poison (1990).

BTW, If you look at current ATP list you will see there:

1 Djokovic Novak (SRB)
2 Nadal Rafael (ESP)
3 Federer Roger (SUI)
.
.
.
1,087 Rac Christopher (USA)
1,088 Spong Xander (NED)
1,089 Huey Treat Conrad (PHI)

The lower three men are on the same points, and who cares? 🧱

I've started rating and ranking albums since I started really listening a lot to music, so all my albums are ranked from 1 to 1100. The first being Is This It? and the last La France des couleurs - Idir.
Actually I love ranking things 😎

I have 927 in my collection currently, and have heard more than what I own. But I agree with Hayden, I can't even rank the ones I know I love and have heard a million times. I could probably rate the 927, but would never be satisfied with my rankings because a objective look at music always conflicts with my subjective.

Screw objective and rank them subjectively.

But I have noticed that my opinions of an album, especially when compared to other great albums, sometimes changes. Hence never being satisfied. 🙁

I have just under 3,500 albums on my iTunes alone, with who knows how many more scattered on a couple of hard drives. I couldn't rank my top 100 albums, let alone 3,500. At the end of the day i don't really care about the rank, i'm just happy to have the collection i have and enjoy listening to whatever fits my mood at the time.

Have about 1400 with a rating on my list but haven't ranked them. Thanks to the new decade charts, I have split the list into decades and have rank orders for them but combining them all together for an overall chart would kill me (and possibly my marriage).

I wish I owned 1000+...

I have about 600. There's probably twice that amount that I'd buy, and another 1000 that I'm interested in. Sadly, I have a mortgage etc... to pay for. 😨

Give it time. I'll get there.
