Top 100 Greatest Music Albums
by Jaymantheman

Duke is your favorite Genesis album? Don't get me wrong, I love it, but it's definitely in my bottom 5. I think I remember hearing it was one of Tony Banks's favorite albums too. It just seems sort of half-baked and ambiguous in its overall sound and concept, like there's good stuff there, but something is kinda missing and I can't get into it all the way. "Duchess" is an amazing song, though. Overall, I feel like I enjoy most of the albums on this chart, but not many that I'm really really into, if you know what I mean. I sort of feel the same about Wilco. I like their music, but I feel like I can't quite immerse myself in it or "get it" completely. Perhaps that will change one day.

Nice one. Few classics on here I really should have listened to by now from the likes of NiN and Big Star.

Yeah Jaymantheman - been there and done that often enough - aaarrrgh

Thank you Peter. I have finally finished my year charts, and will be adding comments soon to my favs and current listening preferences....
Some days frustrating, as I write long comments for some albums, it ends up deleted as I press a wrong button and then I quit because i forgot what i had just written and do not want to spend the time re-writing and it possibly disappearing again.
Slowly I will improve on the comments...

Thanks for your comments on my chart - yeah I've heard Disintegration and it is a top album, but prefer Head On The Door. Hadn't noticed my lack of female artists - I like lots including Kate Bush, Portishead, Amy Winehouse. I've got a few on your albums and Artists and have over 20 of your chart on my wishlist - including PJ Harvey. Stuff I've only been hearing in the last few years for the first time is bumping my historical stuff out, so you're right there.
I like your chart here and I've added a few to my wishlist.
You should consider adding some comments to your choices - why you like, top tracks, think it helps when considering others choices and gives an insight into your choosing.

I admit, YHF is amazing and introduced me to the band, but Sky Blue Sky hit me like no other. I was approaching 40 years of age and the album just spoke to me. Reminded me of The Band, which my Dad listened to a lot while I was growing up....

Nice list with a lot of good Canadian music. Like the Amanda Palmer pick too!

Never really dove into Sky Blue Sky. Will check it out this week. I definitely love the guitar, and it's definitely Wilco's "classic rock" album. Just great hearing them rock out at times. and have fun. Plus I pick up a Television influence on the guitar player which is really cool.

Yes, I like AM, and I am seeing Box Full Of Letters in their playlists lately. Passenger Side is a great staple tune. I like the Uncle Tupelo albums. I bought the Loose Fur albums as well, I like the O'Rourke stuff with Glenn on drums. O'Rourke had a hand in YHF, I like his solo stuff as well.
What are your thoughts of Sky Blue Sky? Maybe try that on a long drive!!

Oh cool. Makes a lot of sense. What do u think of AM? I LOVE that album, but it's completely different from the rest of their discog. I was a HUGE Uncle Tupelo fan at the time so I bought it right when it came out & it became a staple in my car for years. Love all the early Wilco a lot.
