To be honest, I don't think I've ever even looked at the rankings before scanning it for the purpose of this thread.

My top five were OK Computer (tried...could not get through it), To Pimp a Butterfly, In Rainbows, Kid A and Kind of Blue.

Looks like compound words beginning with S aren't the only things you have in common.

But yeah, that's like, an important one guys. You should do that.

Haha.

I can't speak for the other two, but I've tried Bob Dylan. You noticed I didn't list Highway 61 Revisited which is ranked higher, because I have listened to that, plus a greatest hits collection and several random songs. Dylan has never gelled with me and that's why I haven't listened to much of him.

Who's Next (27)
The Stone Roses (29)
Exile on Main Street (30) - this one I've heard bits from, but not the whole thing.

My next highest is, I think, Animals.

There are higher ranked albums that I've only listened to once and have very little memory of, as well.

In The Aeroplane Over The Sea by Neutral Milk Hotel

I've never heard that Neutral Milk Hotel album (something about an aeroplane and the sea). Keep meaning to get a hold of it and see what all the fuss is about, but whenever I've got some spending money either something more enticing comes along or I just forget.

Thanks all for the comments and recommendations. Will definitely come back to some of the selections you have highlighted - at some point, esp. the Talk Talk.

I guess I went through a phase of listening to older stuff 5 or so years ago (hence the make-up of some of my charts), but it is just not a priority right now.

Since all of mine are so high on the charts, what are my top three oversights? I’ll listen to the most selected ones this week or next.

@Rhyner I’ve heard two of those. Mr. Tambourine Man is a great album that helped lay the groundwork for jangle pop over a decade later. Awaken, My Love has one transcendent track (Redbone) and everything else is good but fails to measure up.



Knowing how much you enjoy soul - honestly the albums with the most soul from this list are from Led Zeppelin and U2.

So, I created a playlist of top-ranking “never heard” albums, and included “heard but just don’t get” albums.

This morning I tried:

Arcade Fire “Funeral”
It must be the second or third time I’ve tried this. It still remains impenetrable to me. I get that it must be about grief. Perhaps the key to this one, is getting into it lyrically, but it’s musically and vocally so unremarkable to me that I can’t enter into the lyrics.

Neutral Milk Hotel “In The Aeroplane Over The Sea”
As the songs run together, I’m sure there must be a grand concept here, but I’m not sure what it is. I thought the guy’s voice from Arcade Fire was hard to tolerate, but it was pleasant in comparison to the incessant whine of this guy, as he goes on about “semen staining the mountain tops”.

There are albums that I can appreciate the merit in, but aren’t my cup of tea. Then, there are albums like these that are ranked so highly, that I’m left scratching my head, pondering how little I have in common with some other humans.
