The VerbWhores' 1000 favourite albums

Started by The Plaque Goblin, February 06, 2004, 03:34:58 AM

The Plaque Goblin

This is a continuation of the list began on the old board in January...

THE RULES:
* Give reasonable effort to check for duplicates before adding an album.

All you need to do to check the existing list is download the regularly updated text file and then use the Find feature in the Edit menu:
http://week.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/VWTop1000Albums.txt

* A poster gives up to a maximum of 3 album suggestions per post; additional picks per post are ignored.
* A poster has to wait for 2 other posters to make valid album suggestions to the list before they can reply again with another of their own picks.
* Please try to vote for an artist only once.

* The form of an album suggestion is : COUNTDOWN. ARTIST - ALBUM (YEAR)
* You can check details here: http://www.allmusic.com/

* Please note, this isn't a countdown with the best album at number one. The final list will probably get alphabetised.

* 'Double' albums are valid. But one half of a double-album is not; it's all or nothing.
* Individual 'twinned' albums are valid e.g. "Guns 'N' Roses - Use Your Illusion II".
* EPs are debatable; posters may argue for their inclusion/exclusion on a case-by-case basis.

* 'Best of', 'Greatest hits' and 'Various artists' compilation albums are invalid.
* Radio session and live albums are invalid.
* The only compilations allowed are of studio recorded B-sides and rarities.

* Obvious joke entries e.g. "Osmonds - Osmond Family Christmas Album" are thread-wasters and are considered invalid.

You can see no. 1000-652 here:

Ah yes. Sorry, I forgot about that rule. Still, at least it'll stop Phill Jupitus coming on here and selecting 'The Best of The Clash' as his favourite ever album, like he does in the Radio Times.

Dr David V

My first contribution (hope they're not taken):

Air - 10,000 Mhz Legend

I'm beginning to think that this was a mistake.

imitationleather

Ah, you'll feel great when it's all done though.

This is the list thread to end all list threads!

weekender

I'm assuming that the starter of this thread is the same person that started the thread on the old forum.

Even if that assumption is invalid, I like the point of view that the thread starter sorts out the rules for the subsequent posts, and ultimately makes the decisions therein.

I can just take what they say and bung it into a .txt file then.

The Plaque Goblin

Erm, well, I've been speaking with garfield. If that's what you mean.

OK, in light of the new rules.:

585. The Beta Band - The Three E.P.'s (1998)

584. Clinic - Clinic (1999)

583. Make-Up - I Want Some (1999)

"Twenty-three songs total from all their split singles and 7"s previously released on vinyl."

The Culture Bunker

This is back, is it? Goody...

582. The Beat - I Just Can't Stop It!(1980)
581. Durutti Column - The Return Of... (1979)
580. Elvis Costello & The Attractions - Blood and Chocolate (1986)

579. Ima Robot - Ima Robot (2003)
578. Cocteau Twins - Heaven Or Las Vegas (1990)

Hoo-rah, my go again.

577. M - New York London Paris Munich (1979)
576. Mike & Rich - Expert Knob Twiddlers (1996)
575. The Postal Service - Give Up (2003)

Gamma Ray

I browsed the list and unless my eyes are deceiving me again, I didn't see any of these ...

574. Kyuss - Blues For The Red Sun (1992)

573. Queens Of The Stone Age - Queens Of The Stone Age (1998)

572. A Tribe Called Quest - Midnight Marauders  (1993)
