  • Post subject: 100 Influential Albums
  • Reply with quote
Found this weird site through facebook. How many of these 100 influential albums do you own?




(The list is VERY debatable...LOTS of things not there, some very questionable entries. Not even sure where it came from!)

But, for fun...how do you score? And what do you think of the list? What would you change?

I took this yesterday after finding it through Magenta. Before my digital collection went into limbo, I owned 76 of these. Last night I found this gem from the list:

I plan on using the rest of that list as a kind of rec guide. I also think I posted the only positive comment on there too, with a few albums I would have liked to have seen. People don't realize that you'll never please all tastes with just 100 albums.

It's sure not going to please everyone, but it is a very interesting list. And yeah...with just 100, there are thousands that get left off.

The The is great! Mind Bomb is one of my favorites.

51%,have heard another 12 or 13 that I don't own.Gonna check out all I haven't heard.

I think it's a cool list.If it was a chart on here,it would be right up there with the best.

Influence is probably the hardest thing to measure in respect to music and I don't think lists like this are worth a thing to be honest,other than obviously introducing people to great albums.

Well. I did it based on how many albums I've listened too Mr. Green

Haven't heard:
Elliott Smith - Roman Candle
Donovan - A Gift From A Flower To A Garden
The Go-Betweens - Before Hollywood
Gerry Rafferty - City To City
Roy Harper - Stormcock
Felt - The Strange Idols Pattern And Other Short Stories
The Delgados - Peloton
Super Furry Animals - Radiator
I Am Kloot - Gods And Monsters
Joni Mitchell - Hejira


Some of the inclusions confuse me though Think Clap Your Hands Say Yeah? Really?

Do it whatever way you want I guess, people seem to either be marking the albums they have listened to or the albums they actually own.
