MB Staple Albums Part Deux
 

An idea put forth by Spark10somenumbers6 of creating a required listening list of sorts for newcomers to music banter, by nominatng albums that are well, staples of the musicbanter community. Each user who participates will list ten albums numbered from 1 to 10 each album will then earn points based on placement.

Example

1.A
2.B
3.C

Album A recieves 10 points Album B recieves 9 and so on.
The albums that recieve the most points after 10 or so days will be compiled into one list.
anyone up for this?

now that I think it over, this is too similar to the 10 most important albums for you threat

Not really, your personal 10 could be albums that are unique to you, this list is more for catergorizing albums majoritys like.

well, yeah, we should make clear that we want the albums which the user thinks are the best, not which are important...for example don't nominate "Space Jam OST", cause it was the first album your grandma bought you as a present...

1. King Crimson - In The Court of The Crimson King (1969)
2. Napalm Death - Scum (1987)
3. Opeth - My Arms, Your Hearse (1998)
4. Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream (1993)
5. Alan Parsons Project - I, Robot (1977)
6. Rush - Caress of Steel (1975)
7. Led Zeppelin - II (1969)
8. Zao - When Blood & Fire Bring Rest (1998)
9. Screaming Trees - Even if and Especially When (1987)
10. R.E.M. - Reckoning (1984)


This is an of the top of my head type of list. I swear it changes every week or so. This is also taking into account MB most popular (somewhat).

oh yes, please include release date.

Date? or will year do? this could take some further research...

Year is fine. I was just informing other participants to do as you did.

1.Hunky Dory-David Bowie-1971
2.Demon Days-Gorillaz-2005
3.The Smiths-The Queen Is Dead-1986
4.Primal Scream-Screamadelica-1991
5.GZA-Liquid Swords-1995
6.King Crimson-In The Court of Crimson King-1969
7.VU & Nico-1967
8.Pink Floyd-Wish You Were Here-1975
9.The Mars Volta-De-Loused in the Comatorium-2003
10.My Bloody Valentine-Loveless-1991

Mine was pretty much just gauged by importance, with a little favoratism in there.

well here are mine:

1. Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs by Derek and the Dominos (1970)
2. Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd (1975)
3. The Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd (1973)
4. Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen (1975)
5. The untitled fourth album by Led Zeppelin (1971)
6. Grace by Jeff Buckley (1994)
7. Takk... by Sigur Rós (2005)
8. The Bends by Radiohead (1995)
9. The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths (1986)
10. Deadwing by Porcupine Tree (2005)

Good choices. Deadwing was my #11

1. In the Court of the Crimson King - King Crimson (1969)
2. Grace - Jeff Buckley (1994)
3. Tago Mago - Can (1971)
4. Songs for the Deaf - Queens of the Stone Age (2002)
5. Unknown Pleasures - Joy Division (1979)
6. Kid A - Radiohead (2000)
7. Bitches Brew - Miles Davis (1970)
8. The Velvet Underground & Nico - TVU (1967)
9. Animals - Pink Floyd (1977)
10. De-Loused in the Comatorium - The Mars Volta (2003)

Dude just busted out with some Can. Nice touch.

just a question if anw knows the answer...is the album by The Velvet Underground & Nico or simply the album is called "The Velvet Underground & Nico" and is by The Velvet Underground? officially I mean...

The album is titled 'The Velvet Underground & Nico' by The Velvet Underground.

i can't for the life of me figure out why so many people like this record. don't get me wrong, i'm a Scream fan, but to me XTRMNTR was a much denser collage of their overall sound. the pronounced dub influence on Screamadelica seems to fight with Gillespie's songwriting style.

Let's get some more people posting lists...

I would, but I'd give away the rest of my album list.

Shouldn't stop anyone else from having a go at this though.
