OK, seeing as how we all have amazing taste compared to everyone else, here's how it can work.
1. PM me your top five 'greatest' albums, in order. 2. I'll give them points accordingly: 8 points for no.1; 6 for no.2; 3 for no.3; 2 for no.4; and 1 for number 5. 3. I'll add them all up and then post the final top ten here, say next friday. I'm off work right now so it's no big deal for me to do this, and it could be interesting. The only rule is that it has to be albums (no singles). Oh, and no resubmitting or amending. Once it's in, it's in. |

Oh I didn't put Kid A in mine. I was just guessing the overall top 5. But then I realized this is going to be a top 10 overall. So nevermind what I said.

As I mentioned in my PM, I went for records that are in my all-time list, but also records that other people may vote for. I'm not going to try and influence anyone, but if Herrs Neurotic and Park don't vote for ATR, I will slash the arteries in their thighs.

In all seriousness, we're not gonna get too far with this if people pick ultra obscure records (which thankfully most of you haven't).
Keep 'em coming ladies and gents. |

Right, I purposefully left out some of my obscure favorites. Also, as I was telling demonrail, I picked Trout Mask, even though it's by far not my favorite Beefheart... but it is probably the greatest. I tried to look at this as slightly different than my "personal top 5" and more as a "what is the BEST top 5".. if that makes sense. Oh, it doesn't? Okay.

I'm struggling with this. Top five artists would be easier for me.
Maybe I'll pick my top five artists and then pick my favourite album of their's. Thanks for listening. |

Well, it's all looking very interesting at the moment and so far looks like a fairly credible list.
Keep them coming in though. |

Well, on one hand, not choosing things because they're too obscure might defeat the point of this list. On the other hand, this isn't really us saying "these are 10 greatest albums of all time" (despite what the title of the thread says), this is us saying "These are 10 albums almost all of us can all agree are great".. so that's how I tried to look at it.
