Top 50 Greatest Music Albums
by baileyhawks1523

also wanted to say that these picks are 70% great 80's and 90's indie n' roll bands. Fugazi, Dinosaur Jr., Husker Du, Galaxie 500, etc.

Recommendation(s):
Bugskull - Phantasies and Senseitions
Unwound - New Plastic Ideas
Fetchin Bones - Cabin Flounder
Feedtime - s / t

only one artist similar - built to spill. I will add the pixies eventually to my list and Husker Du along with Minutemen.

Kudos for making the chart of the day! Doolittle and Zen Arcade are fantastic albums, and I love seeing Manic Street Preachers at #3 on your list, as they're a band I'm wanting to listen to more. Very solid choices--I'm looking forward to seeing you expand this!

Very good chart and I'm also a big fan of the indie music of the late eighties and early nineties; I'd say further explore the albums of the artists you all already have in your list like Husker Du (and have a look at Sugar and solo Bob Mould as well), Dinosaur Jr (and I really recommand to look at Sebadoh too), Sonic Youth, Pavement, REM, Wedding Present, Therapy?, Talking Heads, siouxie and the Banshees and the great bands of the 60s and 70s: Beatles, Doors, Pink Floyds and many many others

Very good and diverse chart in terms of the number of artists you've mentioned. I'd imagine at your age if I'd done a similar chart it would have been monopolized by a few artists. Don't fret about getting into diff genres of music as you have decades up your sleeve. Check my top 100 for any ideas.

You are very right about Silverfuck..one of my favorites by them..probably would rank it as my 4th favorite of all time

You definitely have some good albums in there and you are off to a great start for your age. I remember my first time ranking albums, most if not all of my top ones were progressive rock. Eventually you go down different tangents of music, be it jazz, blues, punk, electronic etc etc. You'll find in time that these albums that you once held so dearly don't stand up quite as well to the new streams of music you've opened your mind to, and they will begin to dwindle down until you're left with only the true stars from the bunch.

Anyways what I'm trying to get at is to remain open-minded to other genres and don't lose interest having travelled only a few short paths. I'm looking forward to seeing the expansion to 100 and hope it includes other facets of music.

4/10 - mediocre
(not an insult, just my honest viewpoint)

Really nice, man! Very balanced, but it has to many albums from the same countrys. You could check some good musics from another places as well, check new albums like 10's.

Fantastic chart for your age. Massive credits.

You have a great taste of music!! Awesome chart
