Post your favourite 50 albums of all time and rank them in order of preference

restlessboy [Edit] [Delete] 00:58, 12 November '06

If I can do it you can.

Making this list (and especially trying to rank it in order) was fucking difficult. I have also surprised myself when forcing myself to decide whether I like one album more than another with what the result was. How the fuck was I supposed to decide whether I liked 'Geogaddi' more than 'Pink Moon' for example...?

Anyway this is the list for whatever it's worth:

1. Pulp - His n Hers
2. Godspeed you black emperor! - f#a#oo
3. Belle & Sebastian - If you're feeling sinister
4. Radiohead - OK Computer
5. Arcade Fire - Funeral
6. David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust
7. Low - Secret Name
8. Neutral Milk Hotel - In the aeroplane over the sea
9. The Fiery Furnaces - Blueberry Boat
10. Pavement - Brighten the Corners
11. Aphex Twin - Richard D James Album
12. Echo & the Bunnymen - Ocean Rain
13. Bright Eyes - Lifted
14. Joanna Newsom - Ys
15. Longpigs - The Sun is Often Out
16. My Bloody Valentine - Loveless
17. Talking Heads - Remain in light
18. The Velvet Underground - The Velvet Underground & Nico
19. Bonnie "Prince" Billy - I see a darkness
20. Blur - Blur
21. Stephen Malkmus - Stephen Malkmus
22. Slint - Spiderland
23. The Magnetic Fields - 69 Love Songs
24. Gorky's Zygotic Mynci - How I Long To Feel That Summer In My Heart
25. Boards of Canada - Geogaddi
26. Nick Drake - Pink Moon
27. Cocteau Twins - Treasure
28. The Strokes - Is this it
29. Mansun - Attack of the Grey Lantern
30. Elastica - Elastica
31. Bjork - Homogenic
32. Weezer - Weezer (blue)
33. Sufjan Stevens - Illinois
34. Mercury Rev - Deserter's Songs
35. Scott Walker - Scott 4
36. Germlin - Youth Pixxel
37. The White Stripes - White Blood Cells
38. Four Tet - Rounds
39. The Decemberists - Picaresque
40. The Delgados - The Great Eastern
41. Autechre - LP5
42. Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures
43. Idlewild - 100 Broken Windows
44. Massive Attack - Mezzanine
45. Clinic - Internal Wrangler
46. Woodbine - Woodbine
47. Fridge - Happiness
48. At the Drive-In - Relationship of Command
49. The Flaming Lips - Clouds Taste Metallic
50. Spiritualized - Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space

From this I have learned that my favourite album of all time is the first album I ever bought on cd. Could've saved myself a lot of trouble there.
