Appreciate the effort...thanks for sharing. The work by Kamasi is next up for my eval.

 

[vaibhavp]

looks like i have a lot of listening to do.

 

[Raketen]

What there was a new Coil album?

 
I'm kinda scared to listen.

 

[jmills8]

You heard all thses 50 albums? Best 50 out of 200 lps?

 

[crashtest33]

Listening I can do. It's the finding, buying and downloading that's the labourious bit!
Great effort on this list!

Helps me understand the appeal of ITunes.... but... I .... just... .can't....
 
Sometimes I miss going to the record store, especially when it's almost less of a pain to get a disc and rip it myself

Im hooked on Love's Secret Domain's - The Snow, so advanced of its time

 

[Vanquished]

Wow, the only name I know from this chart is Bjork...Tnx for sharing.

Lol! I thought the same thing and I thought I was really into music! Milo & Bjork.

I've spent the past three years listening to every album on 'Rolling Stone's Top 500 albums of all time'. A great achievement but can't stop there. This list has shown me how much more I need to get involved!
Always exciting though, especially through a top end headphone rig.

ok your top 50 out of that 500?

 

[crashtest33]

Might take some time to compile that list! Honestly, there were only 70 odd that I'd listen to again.
Aside from all the classics that I grew up listening to thanks to Mum&Dad, Rumours, etc.
Stand out albums that I hadn't heard before were;

The Smiths - The Queen is Dead.
Aretha Franklin - Lady Soul.
The Pogues - Rum, Sodomy & the Lash.
The Velvet Underground - & Nico
The Grateful Dead - Live/Dead.
Robert Johnson - The Complete Recordings.
Love - Forever Changes.
Santana - Santana
The Police - Syncronicity

Tbh, the list is very flawed in that it's just a list of seminal albums released during the life of the editors who wrote it but I felt it was a worthwhile challenge. My Mum's a musician and teacher who grew up in the 60's & 70's so I had a good grounding to start with.
Sooooooooo much not on the list and sooooo much that could be taken off even for the person who wrote it. But then it becomes a purely subjective.

Excellent list MuppetFace, I've heard about a quarter of the list. Didn't know about the new Coil and Carter Tutti, checking those out later in the week.
I have to say the Beach House, Julia Holter, Majical Cloudz, Low and Bjork would be in my best of the year list as well, and that Viet Cong album is a killer.
 
james444, I like your list as well. Haven't heard most of the jazz on the list, will have to hunt some of those down. Nice to see Jesus and Mary Chain on a current list. I don't feel so old to be enjoying the current New Order and PIL albums that came out this year. I also like the Father John Misty, Courtney Barnett, and the Destroyer ablum off of your list.
Kamasi Washington, on both lists, has been on rotation on my AK120II since the beginning of the year, excellent album as well.
 
Cheers
