So apparently Bjork is the opposite artist in appeal to Green Day. Her albums dominate the non-Green Day list but are totally out of the top 150 in the Green Day list.

It looks like support for Thriller is a huge breakpoint so I'd be interested in seeing the lists for those who did and didn't vote for Thriller.

I wish Sgt. Pepper's had been the album to take a surprising drop instead of Blonde on Blonde and Exile on Main Street...I think the Beatles are in for redemption after Arcade Fire beat all of their albums last time around.

Jackson

Beatles albums from 1965-1969 in the top 30: 5 Any album made from 1990-2017 in the top 30: 6 I wonder if/when newer music will begin to have more proportional placement on the top of the list. In particular I find the 1990s placing only two albums in the top 30 to be way too low given all of the gr...

Jackson

Dummy at number 31 is an awesome placement. I had forgotten that one hadn't dropped yet.

Jackson

Really thought Love - Forever Changes would be in the top 15. Must be all the youngins' Well, it's a great album with a great sound and excellent songs, but IMO I don't think it's an all time top 15 album (79 for me). And I'm not a youngin' :D It's a little overestimated by critics and hipsters jus...

Of course, no discussion about the worst songs of all time is complete without bringing up "Friday" by ten Rebecca Black. Friday is so bad that it's almost cheating to bring it up in these discussions. It's like The Room of music. It's so bad you're just amazed at its badness. Friday is h...

There will be nine albums in the top 50 that were in the #55-75 range in 2014: Songs in the Key of Life (#55) Wish You Were Here (#59) Hunky Dory (#60) Low (#61) Bridge Over Troubled Water (#63) Odessey & Oracle (#68) My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (#69) In Rainbows (#73) Grace (#75) In the ...

I guess Dylan taking a hit is a bigger surprise but I thought Loveless was a lock for top 20, based on RYM and another forum I used to vote on. It's funny, I thought the same thing the first album poll after I joined the forum. I think it's a combination of (1) the album doesn't have a lot of huge ...

Jackson

I love or at least appreciate most of the albums at this point, but Morning Glory and Ten stick out to me as albums that belong at least 100 places back. Nice placement for Loveless (I remembered it being lower last time, but maybe I'm thinking about the 2012 poll), and fun seeing Bob back to back. ...

Jackson

Glad to see Dear Science tearing up the albums poll so far but surprised to see only one vote for (in my opinion) the album's masterpiece, DLZ. It's always been a curiosity to me why this song didn't get more critical acclaim -- maybe it's the dull title?

Jackson

Wow, the top three rap albums in the poll will be from the 2010s!

Jackson

That last five was a strong group. Awesome placement for In the Aeroplane Over the Sea. I had expected a higher finish from the individual lists, but not as high as 75. Btw, I should be on the biggest fans list.

Jackson

Nice jumps for A Tribe Called Quest, Wu-Tang, and Nas. I did not expect that but just shows how many different constituencies are voting in this poll. I also like the drop for Murmur, I've never understood what makes that such a hugely regarded album. Interesting the In the Court of the Crimson King...

Jackson

Well, firstly "London Calling" isn't a punk album (although I admit it is usually categorised as such). Just to add fuel to the fire. I voted for The Clash, The Sex Pistols, Buzzcocks, The Gang of Four, Wire, Stiff Little Fingers, and The Jam (again not really Punk). But only one genuine ...

Jackson

The terrible performance of punk in this poll continues with the Ramones falling 30 spots (and I'm surprised again to see myself as the biggest fan--none of the 70 voters had this in their top 25?). Back to back Flaming Lips is fun, but I'm really surprised to see The Soft Bulletin out of the top 100.

Jackson

Happy to see there's still some classic rock masterpieces in a forum that has always been a bit indie-oriented. (Cosmo's Factory, Nebraska, Talking Book). Those albums lost some ground compared to 2014, but maybe it"s because the voters are younger (and that there are albums from the last 3 ye...

why do males prefer albums by males and/or females prefer albums by females? Good question. I'm not necessarily sure this is true. I said this recently on another thread, but if a list is well-rounded in terms of genres, it will naturally skew male. If you're voting for a lot of rap, electronic, ja...

Jackson

Can you post a recap of 1000-201 before moving on to the top 200? Loving the pace of the rollout. On the placements side, I loved the 240-300 section, which had a ton of interesting albums and personal favorites (Spiritualized, King Crimson, Madvillaon, D'Angelo, TV on the Radio, Steve Reich, etc.)....

Jackson

That was a great section, but it also means my favorites took an absolute beating, likely in favor of a bunch of stuff I didn't vote for. Disappointing showing for Spiderland, Untrue (which I should have been on the top voter list for), Here Come the Warm Jets, and Rock Bottom, though there were a l...

Jackson

Just wait until you see how badly Untrue, one of the greatest and most famous electronic albums this century, does in the all time and 2007 polls...I'm hoping that's not the case, but it's never done well in forum polls before. You mean like how it finished all the way down at #217 on the 2014 poll...

Jackson

First album to reach 20 votes is... Return to Cookie Mountain! I'm saddened by it's steep drop from the last poll. Over the years it's grown in my estimation, but it seems like it's slipping in these polls (and possibly even on critics' lists). Yes it seems to fall on critics lists too. Not as stee...

Jackson

A lot of my favorites are dropping now. A couple of thoughts... 1. People often talk about how electronic and rap are underrated on the forum; I'd like to submit punk as another underrated genre. I was very surprised to see myself as the biggest fan for both Zen Arcade and Double Nickels on the Dime...

Jackson

I hate to be this guy, but...I voted for Double Nickels on the Dime at #60 but I don't see myself on top fans.

Listen to it...will have you hooked from the first track!

Jackson

Last few sections were awesome...nice placements for Pharoah Sanders, the Milennium, Ennio Morricone, John Cale, and Yes. I wish One Beat had been higher.

Jackson

I voted for In a Silent Way but if the poll was held today I would've placed it much higher. Beautiful music, like nothing else.

I'll make predictions from my own list. These are the albums that will have missed the top 1000 entirely: The Knife - Shaking the Habitual John Zorn - Naked City Underworld - Dubnobasswithmyheadman Boredoms - Vision Creation Newsun Devo - Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo! James Blake - James Blake...

Two Weeknd albums out of nowhere, lol. I like the guy's music and Selena Gomez apparently thinks he's a good guy, so fine with me! Also, been getting into Sabbath recently, haven't gotten to this album yet but Vol.4 is extraordinary. I've got a lot of Sabbath - all the Ozzie years (including the no...

Now Pastel Blues is an album that I would've expected to place a lot higher. It seems like Nina Simone is frequently discussed and heralded as an underrated artist around here and generally performs well in our tournament style games. What gives? (For the record, I placed the album around 150 on my ...

I'm most curious where The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady and A Love Supreme placed. As usual, they received several very high votes each but were left off the ballot of most voters. Always hard to know where albums like that wind up. I'm also hoping Loveless and In the Aeroplane Over the Sea make ...

Nice debut! I agree, I got a bit emotional for a brief second. Proud of them! Good taste! Tribe deserve all the praise they get, and I'm glad the last album received so much of it.

10. Studio - Yearbook 1 I think you mean 'West Coast', 'Yearbook 1' was 2007. 'West Coast' is another album that I hope everyone considers. I thought one was an expanded version of the other. Guess I'm used to thinking of them interchangeably. West Coast is a great recommendation, will definitely f...

Not new albums of course, but Brian Eno's first four solo records have been remastered at Abbey Road studios and released on double 45 discs.

Whatever, it's already cool that such a list exists in the first place. Yes and no. It's true that women are still ignored too much on many lists (although their albums are getting more acclaim nowadays; part of the problem was that they didn't get much attention during the so-called golden days of...

Overall interesting list that leans mainstream at times but also surprisingly finds room for Alice Coltrane, Nico, the Raincoats, and Laurie Anderson (the inclusion of these artists makes me surprised/disappointed Julia Holter didn't make it). 79 | Portishead | Dummy | 1994 I wonder how this one end...

This album has steadily risen in my rankings over the years and I now have it at 26 all-time. Hard to rank what at times can be an album that's many versions of the same great song, but "Judy is a Punk" is my favorite on the album (and by the Ramones). Something genius about the "oh I...

The 2000s decade starts to decline a little this year to my ears; I'd probably take any year from 2000-2004 to any year from 2005-2009.
