Re: AMF Top Albums of the 1980s
You guys are hilarious with your #149 vote for Learning to Crawl. Well, I've told myself that I wouldn't want to see an album guide or a forum that agreed on everything with me -- that it'd just be an episode out of the Twilight Zone -- so, you know, thanks along those lines...
Re: AMF Top Albums of the 1980s
I was not surprised to see such a low result for Learning to Crawl. My take is that LTC is far too conventional for most AM Forum fans.Live in Phoenix wrote: ↑Sun Sep 05, 2021 3:23 pm You guys are hilarious with your #149 vote for Learning to Crawl.

Re: AMF Top Albums of the 1980s
If I made my list today, LTC would certainly be in the Top 100 of mine, at least. At the time though I only had heard around 25, which is why you haven't seen me be the biggest fan of anything yet, despite many of my favorites passing by!Henry wrote: ↑Sun Sep 05, 2021 5:21 pmI was not surprised to see such a low result for Learning to Crawl.

Here are some albums that would have gotten a boost from me if my made my list today:
Violent Femmes
Parade
Swordfishtrombones (an abomination of a placement!)
Low-Life (was in my top 15 in last year's All Time Albums Poll)
Psychocandy (another abomination)
Skylarking
Dare! (a sad ranking but maybe not the most surprising, though this would've likely made my Top 10)
