absolutely...that album so so good...every song is solid

Ok. So as creator of this thread, blah, blah, etc., I propose those interested start listing our "Top 10 Favorite Rap and Hip Hop Albums of All Time", in order and with no honorable mentions. I will provide mine once I\'ve had a chance to reflect. Aight.

I was cleaning out my music collection and found 2 items that would have been in my top ten ten years ago.
ec8r - Give me nyquil all night long
atari teenage riot - delete yourself.
I will gladly give them away as they are hard to find to anyone who wants them.
never heard of either of these, what style(s)?

some from some different genres:
dookie-green day
doggystyle-snoop

science-incubus
rage against the machine (self titled)
catch a fire-bob marley
all eyes on me-tupac
no doy-moe
sailing the seas of cheese-primus
day in the strife-some amazing artist whos name escapes me
-
I thought I had posted here a while ago, but i guess not so here goes.
1.) Blows Against the Empire - Jefferson Starship
Excellent choice. Blows is still one hell of an album, and not nearly as well known as it should be. Personally, every time I go outside on a really crisp, clear night, I always hear that piano and then the line, "Have you seen the stars tonite?" (usually cos I just sing it!). The whole album is brilliant, especially the suite. I count myself extremely lucky to have seen PK and Co perform some fantastic versions of that and was there in London when they performed the album in its entirity for the first time in 2006.
(Drop me a pm if you want a SBD recording of that London show - there will also be a video when I get round to editing it)

Dave-- have you belted out "blaaaaack beauty" at the 5:05 mark of Mojo Pin yet?
It feels good.

I bought a copy of II a few years ago and was delightfully surprised at my ability to hit every single note on the album still. Well, I\'d sharpen or flatten at least a few, but I knew exactly where every run was going. I can even recite the French woman\'s intro before "All Around The World".
Jezzebel = HUGE sleeper still waiting to be discovered.
Lexington-- with II and Hebron Gate on your list, we\'d get along alright.
-
I just bought Boyz II Men- II a couple of days ago, along with Salt N Peppa- Very Necessary. Awesomeness.

:lol:
I\'m a bit nervous now. Hype grows. Expectations are high. I feel the light of interrogation shed upon me.
-
Nice bump of a key thread Pitchie. Can\'t report any changes for myself. Of course there are 25 albums that aren\'t in there that might have been had I written the list 10 minutes earlier or ten minutes later than I did. But I\'m happy with my selections.
Keep posting people! I\'ve decided that I\'m going to buy 10 albums from this thread. Just gonna scan through the thread again and see what sounds interesting. Thanks everyone.
-

Great news dave!
Grace has without a doubt stood the test of time for me.. It is a phenomenal soundtrack to a vicious winter like this one. It gets better and better the first 20 times you listen to it. The title track alone is worth the buy, but then you get 9 other great tracks of extremely eclectic material that hits EVERY mood.
Todd-- the Legacy Edition has a solid short documentary on the making of the album. You\'ll enjoy it. There are some really cool bonus tracks on Disc 2 too.
It\'s exciting to get that first spin out of this album, then so depressing when realizing what else probably would have happened had he not died so young. Rock and roll.....
wow, I REALLY want to hear this now! Never heard of it, can\'t wait to grab it!
-
I find this hard to do i have a lot of music that i like but here is what i came up with.
1. Mtv Unplugged - Alice in Chains
2. The Central Park Concert - Dave Matthews Band
3. Mourning View - Incubus
4. Killidelphia - Lamb Of God
5. Physical Graffiti - Led Zeppelin
6. Black Album - Metallica
7. Cowboys From Hell - Pantera
8. Blood Sugar Sex Magik - Red Hot Chili Peppers
9. Lateralus - Tool
10. 2112 - Rush

i had to scan back through to see if anyone had
Jeff Buckley - Grace
on their list, and it seems ill be the first to make mention. im sure most everyone has heard this album which makes me :hscratch: at first i felt foolish for letting this cd somehow slip by me all these years, but now im just excited that i have something this **** good be this new to me at 23 years old. i cant get enough of this album right now, wowzas. anyone?
nick - just wanted to say that thanks to pitchie\'s recent bump of this thread, my review of your above post, and *another* friend recommending i listen to Grace this week, that i\'ve decided to give it a first listen tonight. i am typing this as Dream Brother closes out the album, but i can tell you with certainty that i\'ve absolutely liked what i\'ve heard so far, and i look forward to giving the album another listen when i will be able to pay more attention to it.
so... thank you.

5. Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream
Awesome choice!
As creator of this thread, I am glad to see it back in action, although I\'d probably change a handful of my original picks from August.
I looked back at mine...and i feel that way too. I honestly have a Top 20...and they rotate around if I am in certain phase of life.

Don\'t get me wrong, I mean his voice has the same effect on me as TY\'s voice. Both guys have written some good songs, I just don\'t like the voices.
And I love the bit about "not nearly as suicidal".
This what I love about this place - (mostly) mature discussion and respect for everyone\'s taste - well, usually! ;)
-
Sorry, but I don\'t rate it that highly. Competent, yes, but there is something about his voice - bores me in the same way as Radiohead grate on my ears. I have always failed to see why Jeff Buckley is accorded such status, especially when he is compared with singer-songwriting genii like Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell etc - IMHO, he just doesn\'t make the cut. Now his father, on the other hand, really does deserve all the plaudits he\'s received - the first four albums, in particular trully do deserve the epithet, \'classic\'.
I totally understand because it is all opinion here. so at the same time i completely disagree with you. to me his voice is FAR from boring (if anything at times it\'s over the top and can be too much) and so much different than thom yorke\'s voice, not to mention the music isnt nearly as suicidal. i find Grace to be absolutely superb, the more i listen the more i think so. the songs are beautiful and have more emotion than almost any collection on an album ive ever heard. even his two covers are A-material.. its hard to find a man, not to mention an alternative rocker, from any generation than can make a song Nina Simone made famous sound so pure and natural and make it all his own. upsetting he died so young, huge things couldve happened.
-
I think your the first one to mention a tool album so far.
I like tool, awesome rhythms n stuff.
I\'d also have to agree with Rush - 2112 being on a top 10.
-

I had forgotten this thread and still not contributed my Top Ten, which are sure to be pretty left-field for this board.
Some of these choices might change on a different day. All I did was write down the first ten albums or so that came into my head which I would listen to at any time. Yes, lots of others that might have made it and looking at it now, I can\'t believe I missed them off, but in the spirit of \'no honourable mentions\', here goes:
1. Rick Wakeman - Journey To The Centre Of The Earth (Greatest keyboard player of all time (sorry, Jordan) delivers a magnum opus live - my favourite album now for about 25 years!!)
2. Surrealistic Pillow - Jefferson Airplane (\'Somebody To Love\', \'White Rabbit\', \'Plastic Fantastic Lover\' and my favourite song of all time, \'Comin\' Back To Me\' - what more can I say?)
3. Da Capo - Love (Most perfect Side 1 of an album ever - \'Orange Skies\', \'7 & 7 Is\', \'Stephanie Knows Who\' etc, and even the Side 2 \'Revelation\' jam still gets me lost in the music after 20-odd years)
4. SF Sorrow - The Pretty Things (Rock\'s first true concept album - \'SF Sorrow Is Born\' and the riff that Townsend nicked for \'Pinball Wizard\'!)
5. The Doors - The Doors (well, dah...)
6. Crown Of Creation - Jefferson Airplane (Couldn\'t keep this album out of the list, though I tried hard to keep it to one album from every band - Jorma\'s songs and guitarwork really make it special.)
7. The Twelve Dreams Of Dr. Sardonicus - Spirit (Randy California may have started as Hendrix\'s second guitarist, but he had a style all of his own and \'Nature\'s Way\' is also one of the first and best environmentally aware songs.)
8. The Life and Times of Country Joe & The Fish - Country Joe & The Fish (Only compilation on the list, just so I could get \'Janis\' AND \'Grace\' on one album - oh yes, and there\'s THAT song from Woodstock!!)
9. American Beauty - The Grateful Dead (The album that raised the bar. \'Box Of Rain\' remains my all-time fave GD song.)
10. Fairfield Parlour - From Home To Home (Probably the most obscure on my list. FP previously recorded as Kaleidoscope - top notch British psychedelic folk.)
-
Sorry, I just found this thread. Here goes, in no particular order.

Using my own fiction against me is a devious move, Steve. I like it.
Paul, we both know that Sleep Dirt is a great album, although a bit frightening at times. Many Zappa fans have probably overlooked it simply because it doesn\'t have songs about yellow snow and dental floss. Big mistake. Listen to it and then after you\'re done scratching your head, listen to it again.
-
Leith - best reason you could have given! That\'s what 2112, led zep 1, 2, floyds the wall and all the worlds a stage were for me to name a few. Completely worn out tapes many times over. If you don\'t have it and like alot of croud singalong on your live albums, I can\'t say enough about rush in rio.
Pitch - sleep dirt is a quality album, I\'m suprise you kow it as it is REALLY obscure as far as zappa discs go. I love the bass solo and acoustic guitar riff in "the ocean is the ultimate solution". That\'s a really, really good disc that no one knows. :thumbsup:

Quit your whining and go spank it in a Clucky\'s bathroom ;)

I\'d just like to say as creator of this thread that I\'m very happy to see it having so much activity with many of .info\'s veterans now contributing (but not quite all of them yet). It\'s very interesting to read the lists and just about everyone\'s has one or two albums that were either on mine or just missed.

Leith, I gotta get an explanation from you. Rush has so many great albums but exit..stage left is probably the worst. The song selection is great, but it is so over produced it hurts to listen to. There is almost no audience or banter audible at all unless you crank it and some of lexerts\' "live" solos were overdubbed in the studio. Live albums should not be polished and should not be a collection of songs from separate nights, they should be raw and ugly facts about what happened that night along the line of moe\'s "warts and all" series. My rush live albums in kick-ass order would be:
1. All the worlds a stage
2. Different stages disc3 (Hammerstien london 1978)
3. Rush in Rio
4. A show of hands
5. Rush replay (bonus Grace under pressure tour cd)
6. Different stages
7. R30
8. Exit... stage left
Rush in Rio was painful to put above a show of hands, but a show of hands has allot of over production as well, and the audience is just so damn good with Rush in Rio. Different stages can be broken up imo because it contains two different shows. R30 ranks so low because I have not fully absorbed it yet and it was so close to rush in rio which again had a MUCH better audience.
< /rant >
On a side, I\'ve decided I NEED to get some wilco. Everyone I know seems to like them and I\'m still yet to get any of their music.
Well Exit...is the album that turned me onto Rush. I wore the hell out of that cassette 10 times over growing up. Yeah there are totally BETTER Rush albums but none hit me w/ the memories of Exit...

Live albums should not be polished and should not be a collection of songs from separate nights, they should be raw and ugly facts about what happened that night along the line of moe\'s "warts and all" series. My rush live albums in kick-ass order would be:
1. All the worlds a stage
2. Different stages disc3 (Hammerstien london 1978)
3. Rush in Rio
4. A show of hands
5. Rush replay (bonus Grace under pressure tour cd)
6. Different stages
7. R30
8. Exit... stage left
Rush in Rio was painful to put above a show of hands, but a show of hands has allot of over production as well, and the audience is just so damn good with Rush in Rio. Different stages can be broken up imo because it contains two different shows. R30 ranks so low because I have not fully absorbed it yet and it was so close to rush in rio which again had a MUCH better audience.

Oh, and just to be official, Breakfast albums are absolutely in play. So...
I missed this too, ah well the Breakfast suck anyway.......
-
Yeah, but you still did. And that\'s the point. It\'s SUPPOSED to be a challenge. Anyone can just list 50 of their favorite albums in no order. This thread was designed to make people THINK about what are their absolute favorite TEN albums, in order, INCLUDING live albums. Although to be fair, I did not originally clarify the whole studio/live thing in my original post so I understand any confusion in that regard. And also, to be fair, I probably would have included a live album in my top 10 had I pondered that before posting. But I\'m not gonna change it now. I\'ll probably update my list in a year or so.
Thanks to everyone who\'s chipped in so far. Let\'s keep it going while please following the rules.
-

That\'s right. Seeing as how this is a forum about music, it makes sense to have a thread where we list our favorite albums, and if we wish, discuss why.
A few rules: they must be listed in order and with no honorable mentions. Those are the parameters of this thread. Yes, it\'s hard to cram 10 albums out of hundreds into a definitive list, but for me, that was part of the fun of this challenge and a testament to the strength of each album. Of course, there\'s the contrary approach of just loving music and not needing to rank your favorite bands amongst each other. That\'s more than fair. Feel free to discuss that approach in another thread.
As far as the criteria with which we judge the albums themselves, well, that\'s clearly up to us individually. Personally, I took into account every aspect I could think of. At some point in my life, each of these albums was listened to constantly for a variety of reasons. Therefore, it is my honor to list my top 10 favorite albums of all time, which may very well be a different a year from now.
I really hope that EVERYONE who reads this thread will post their list. And if anyone knows about a similar thread that was started a while back and needs to be merged, please point it out. I looked and couldn\'t find one. Oh, and just to be official, Breakfast albums are absolutely in play. So...
