Thanks Very Happy

May be hard to imagine some of the following selections now but if we went back in time and I did a Best of the Year for, say, 2001, it wouldve looked something like:

1) Astral Weeks - Van Morrison (1968)
2) Forever Changes - Love (1967)
3) Pet Sounds - The Beach Boys (1966)
4) Revolver - The Beatles (1966)
5) Highway 61 Revisited - Bob Dylan (1965)
6) Exile On Main Street - The Rolling Stones (1972)
7) Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - The Beatles (1967)
8 ) Abbey Road - The Beatles (1969)
9) What's Going On - Marvin Gaye (1971)
10) Blonde On Blonde - Bob Dylan (1966)
11) Let It Bleed - The Rolling Stones (1969)
12) Are You Experienced? - Jimi Hendrix (1967)
13) The Beatles - The Beatles (1968)
14) Rubber Soul - The Beatles (1965)
15) Beggar's Banquet - The Rolling Stones (1968)
16) A Hard Days Night - The Beatles (1964)

....and so on...


Yeah - I remembered again your throwing copper thing you mentioned and the such. An interesting journey/cool you have something that kind of goes back to the 90s and documented (I think I saw 1998?)

Anyway, it's comforting to know that even after 20 years of being deliberate with this effort to assess/find "truth" really, it still is a truly difficult thing to "finalize".

Speaking of which - I was a bit shocked to see Rock Bottom hit the top/overcome the Sistine Chapel, unless I misunderstood. But then I thought of my own reassessment of things and that happens with all of us. It's very difficult atop the house of cards to really see the difference between such high rated items.


Yes - quite a journey it is and always will be!

If we went back to 1991 it would probably be Paula Abdul's album Spellbound topping the year!! Laughing

Thank god Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden and the Seattle scene (then yes, Live's Throwing Copper for 1995) started me on a different road, before Classical (1996) and films (like C Kane, Kubrick's 2001) really unlocked all doors, set the foundation so to speak...

Rock Bottom topping Sistine Chapel is just for this year, just like the weekly "Top 10+" lists are just for that week (or series of weeks in some cases).

Sistine Chapel remains at the very top overall as a 10/10 and probably the only full 10/10 that exists in all of Art by my estimation. Rock Bottom is a 9.5 but for all Art still sits just below Tristan & Isolde, Mahler's 9th, Beethoven's 9th and Sistine Chapel. Recently it did finally surpass Trout Mask Replica as top Rock album for the first time since, I think, 2006/2007ish. For Jazz, both Black Saint and the Sinner Lady and A Love Supreme had surpassed TMR at various times before but each was temporary - ALS I think a couple times for months (maybe a year or 2 collectively) and Black Saint held out on top for maybe 5 years? Only time will tell if Rock Bottom remains #1? No matter what its a close call that Id been going back and forth on for the last 2 years at least before finally going through with the change.
