I'm having trouble finding any links to Moss Icon and Pete Seeger.

Let's say we're making an actual list and chuck the question mark from the title.

I'd just go with a link to Moss Icon's wiki, I checked my usual review sites and couldn't find anything.

/removes question mark and on that note.

In reference to Crowes post, I think you're right on certain points but way off on others. The typical list of the Smiths, Radiohead, Zeppelin, Beatles etc would be pointless because you can find tons of lists like that floating around on the internet. Theirs also a bunch of genres/albums that were groundbreaking but get no attention, and other albums that weren't really groundbreaking but still amazing albums that did alot for their own genres. It would be a pretty lame list if was your typical bands and albums you see everywhere and it would also be pretty lame if it was a bunch of just favorite albums like you said, dude ranch or whatever.


Also can we maybe have a few arguements on albums, ones that get turned down or posted? I mean some guy without saying, others deserve a shot but most people wouldn't give them one. The Libertines for instance.

I also just had a fantastic idea, once the list is pretty much in agreement, we could upload all the albums, essentially making this thread the greatest thread ever!! Is there any file sending service that holds the files forever? That would neat.

it's a classic, so shut up. If this was a list of great albums that I liked a lot, I wouldn't of picked Lateralus. But it's not.

I just mean that all the times Ive picked it up in the store its had at least one article in it about either the Beatles, the Sex Pistols, the Rolling Stones or Bob Dylan.

Theres seems to be a lack of new music mentioned in it apart from the odd article. The last time I looked at it there was something about the Arcade Fire but that was like one article out of twenty or something.

My honest opinion of music journalism is that its just a slave to advertising dollars anyway and isnt worth reading. Theres a fairly famous example of an intensely negative review of a Hootie & the Blowfish album getting a writer fired from Rolling Stone magazine. The writer was Jim Derogatis and in the review he described the bands lyrics as "the trite clichés of hack songwriters who just wanna get laid." Rolling Stone ran a more positive review written by Jann Wenner and when asked to explain a spokesman for Rolling Stone said that even though Wenner was not a Hootie & the Blowfish fan he was "a fan of bands that sell eight and a half million copies."

I basically rest my case. Music magazines are bent and can't judge music based on its merits because if they did theyd lose tons of advertising revuenue every year.

Cat Power - Moon Pix (1998, Matador)
The first Cat Power record I ever heard. Quiet, intensely emotional music by my all time favourite songwriter.

Public Enemy - It Takes A Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back (1987, Def Jam)
A must hear just for The Bomb Squad's dense, noisy production style.

Sorry, compilation albums don't count. And are you sure Apocalypse 91 is PE's most relevant album? Do others agree with the rest of his/her choices?

Urban Hat€monger ?

I'd go for Fear Of A Black Planet or Nation Of Millions myself.

I'd also go for Fear Of Music over Remain In Light and the Velvet Underground and Nico is a sh*t album , that German whore ruins that album.
