The official SY Gossip Ten Greatest Albums of All-Time - Page 2

demonrail666 · 08.01.2008, 05:15 PM

The danger is that we just get a load of albums with one vote, which would just mean nothing. i will say that so far the top five atleast is fairly representative of the general taste of members here. Some of you may not like it but it certainly reflects what I think is the taste of a majority of posters here. I think you need to be realistic when posting your top five, but aslo honest. There's no point in choosing stuff you think is gonna figure highly if you don't think it ought to, then it really will be a waste of time. But like i say, the way it's looking so far is surprisingly coherent.

BUT WE NEED MORE LISTS.

Right.

There's no point in being too obscure... because even when not being obscure that leaves hundreds of albums that are still great. If something's really honestly without a shadow of a doubt your favorite album and it's pretty obscure then I'd say to list it, but I tried to look at as, "Okay, I like GASTR DEL SOL's 'upgrade and afterlife' better than Spiderland -- but Spiderland was probably a 'greater' album."

So, yea.

pm Demonrail666 Your Top 5

Pookie · 08.01.2008, 05:26 PM

I've done mine. For the record, I've left out my actual favourite album of all time because there is nil chance of anybody else voting for it. So it's four white rock bands and a token jazz artist from me.

atsonicpark · 08.01.2008, 05:26 PM

what's your favorite album of all time?

demonrail666 · 08.01.2008, 05:27 PM

out of interest Pookie, include your fave of all time. I'm gonna do an 'honourary mention' list after posting the top ten.

HECKLER SPRAY · 08.01.2008, 05:29 PM

Done !

atsonicpark · 08.01.2008, 05:30 PM

oh, hey, my favorite of all time is john fahey - god, time, and casualty then

if you're doing honorary mentions

Pookie · 08.01.2008, 05:31 PM

My favourite of all time:

And I should have put the Slits in

.

SuperCreep · 08.01.2008, 05:36 PM

Hrm. Five?

Let me see if I can throw something together real quick. I'll probably be pissed at my 2-5 choices later, but my #1 is very secure.

SuperCreep · 08.01.2008, 05:44 PM

Fin. :7)

You might have been surprised. I know one poster so far who included it on their list.

Totally seconded...

StevOK · 08.01.2008, 06:47 PM

My favorite album is the first one in my sig, but I didn't put it in my top five.

demonrail666 · 08.01.2008, 07:07 PM

I don't see any reason why the results have to wait as late as next Friday. I'll see how many responses I get over the weekend and maybe post them up on Tuesday or something. Then I'm going to the union for a pay rise. This is far harder work than I envisaged!

Anyway, KEEP PM-ING ME THOSE TOP FIVES, (unless you want 'It's a Shame About Ray' sneaking in via the back door!)

Pookie · 08.01.2008, 07:09 PM

You should have asked people to pay in order to contribute.
