What's the greatest album ever? Radiohead 'ok comouter' is up there but there is so many :D

Re: Greatest Album?

'OK Computer' is definitely high up on the list, but a few come to mind that I would place in front of it. First off, I think 'The Bends' is equally as good as 'OK Computer'. And you can't leave out:

Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon <-- My personal favorite Pink Floyd - The Wall Led Zeppelin - IV Cream - Wheels of Fire De La Soul - 3 Feet High and Rising The Beatles - (Any number of albums) Tool - Undertow Nine Inch Nails - Pretty Hate Machine

The list is endless.

Re: Greatest Album?

1. Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
2. Pink Floyd - Animals
3. Radiohead - The Bends
4. Radiohead - Ok Computer
5. Radiohead - Kid A
6. Massive Attack - Mezzanine
7. Doves - Some Cities (new album, get it, it's amazing and might just rise on my list :))
8. Pink Floyd - The Wall
9. Dj Shadow - Endtroducing
10. Four Tet - Pause

lol, as you can see, i'm a huge floyd and radiohead fan and i don't think thats ever going to change.

Re: Greatest Album?

[quote]De La Soul - 3 Feet High and Rising [/quote]

One of my favs too.

Public Enemy - It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back

Pearl Jam - Ten

Jill Scott - Who Is Jill Scott

Now who's gonna be the first twat to put Northern Exposure/Airdrwandagger up?

Re: Greatest Album?

How come the Stone Roses are not on any list as yet :evil:

Air - Moon Safari Rage Against the Machine - Rage Against the Machine Doors - LA Women

Just a few to start with.

Bends, and Ok top records as well.
I hope no one even thinks of putting Oasis on any list.

Re: Greatest Album?

Only two albums really come to mind:-

Pink Floyd - Dark side of the moon

David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars :twisted:

Re: Greatest Album?

Air- Virgin Suicides OST and Radiohead - OK C are top notch

Re: Greatest Album?

pINK fLOYD - dark side of the moon...

and if it counts

Sasha and Digweed - northern exposure 1

Re: Greatest Album?

[quote=Nick Sneddon]Now who's gonna be the first twat to put Northern Exposure/Airdrwandagger up?[/quote]

Why would anyone be a twat for choosing any of those? Are they too obvious for a self important egotist such as yourself Sneddon? :roll: bullshit imo

anyway, for me the greatest album ever is Seven Ways by PvD, no explaination, just a fucking great album

Re: Greatest Album?

[quote=chemicalbeavis]Seven Ways by PvD[/quote]

Re: Greatest Album?

[quote=Nick Sneddon] Now who's gonna be the first twat to put Northern Exposure/Airdrwandagger up?[/quote]

Just cause you don't appreciate it, don't knock others for doing it.

Plus some part of history becomes fact.

Fact: Nothern Exposure 1 is the shit, so stfu!

:Asshole:

Re: Greatest Album?

Guys, guys - fair enough point taken. If someone truly, TRULY thought that ADD was they're favourite album then fine but I would seriously, SERIOUSLY tell them to get out more and listen to other things apart from electronica. And I was referring to Northern Exposure as a compilation. No one can deny its greatness but its not an album in the true sense of the word.......

Re: Greatest Album?

In no particular order:

Boards Of Canada - Music Has The Right To Children DJ Shadow - Endtroducing Chicane - Far From The Maddening Crowds Daft Punk - Discovery Michael Jackson - Thriller John Digweed - Bedrock Toad The Wet Sprocket - Dulcinea U2 - Achtung Baby Ashley Casselle - Deviations Stone Temple Pilots - Purple and many more...

Re: Greatest Album?

Stone Roses - Stone Roses is the winner for me 8)

Re: Greatest Album?

tribe called quest - midnight marauders sigur ros - ?g?tis byrjun

recent: Pole Folder - Zero gold! in 2004: Sasha - Involver in my whole life: ....hm, diff. question --> maybe Faithless - Reverence

Re: Greatest Album?

And the winner was "OK Computer" - and I simply can't argue with that.

Can't believe that Metallica's Black album didn't make it somewhere in the top 100. Very little electronic music (although I'm pleased that Coltrane's Love Supreme got in there),

Re: Greatest Album?

it was one of the poll shows that i actually enjoyed watching.

yes great choice for number 1. OK Computer is still magical.

Re: Greatest Album?

pink floyd - dark side of the moon

      all these years after it was first released, it still sounds fresh.  a timeless classic i never get tired of listening too.  can't think of any other album in it's class.   :Respect:

Re: Greatest Album?

headhunters - headhunters

i may not agree with myself in 3 minutes so i'll just go ahead and.....

Re: Greatest Album?

Personally I thought Ok Computer was pants - and I am willing to give most music a chance,just thought this was crap.

My favourite ever - U2-Achtung baby - the classic break up album for me.

Re: Greatest Album?

MC Hammer: Please Hammer Don't Hurt 'Em MC Hammer: Too Legit To Quit MC Hammer: Greatest Hits NKOTB: Hangin' Tough vanilla Ice: Cool as Ice Simon and Garfunkel: Sounds of Silence Bananarama: Please Yourself The Bangels: Greatest Hits East 17: Up All Night Will Smith: Big Willie Style Ja Rule: Pain is Love

Re: Greatest Album?

does anyone have an actual listing of what were the top 10 albums?

Re: Greatest Album?

Tool - Aenima Deftones - White Pony Faith No More - Angel Dust Massive Attack - Mezzanine Depeche Mode - Violator U2 - The Unforgettable Fire New Order - Power, Corruption & Lies Dave Clarke - Archive One Underworld - DubNoBassWithMyHeadMan Hardfloor - Respect

Re: Greatest Album?

I'll probably get shit for this, but it seems to me in the EDM community that most people have a very recent knowledge/preference when it comes to albums, films and literature.

Mabe it has something to do with age, although it doesn't seem likely.

Whenever a "Top Albums of all time" or "Top films of all time" or "Top books of all time" thread emerges, not only here, but in any EDM forums or conversations, people usually pick stuff that's been released within the last 10 years aproximately.

I will not get into a taste debate. If people find Leftfield or Bjork or Underworld as consequential as Debussy, The Beatles or Serge Gainsbourg or Bowie or Nick Drake, it is their preference and it is absolutely undisputable. Same thing with "Matrix", "Requiem for a Dream" or "Coneheads" over "Citizen Kane", "Rashomon" or "Barry Lyndon"; or "American Psycho", "Generation X" or "The Da Vinci Code" over "Anna Karenina", "As I Lay Dying" or "King Lear".

I just wonder if the majority of people who quote their preferences, mainly contemporary (as in 80s, 90s, 2k) have been exposed to the earlier stuff. This is born purely out of curiosity, and is not meant to critize anyone's taste.

Re: Greatest Album?

Guns n Roses "Appetite for Destruction" takes some beating. I disagree with Radiohead being number 1.

That?s a good point, but I think people tend to vote for this on a purely subjective basis, of which a big part is the influence or importance of certains albums in their lives. Personally, that?s why I chose those albums.

But I mean...Pink Floyd, Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, John Coltrane, The Clash, Bob Marley, The Beatles, The Stones, Hendrix, Zeppelin, Kraftwerk, Marvin Gaye...even classical stuff like Wagner...Their influence in every kind of music out there today is so strong, that ? feel it?s almost mandatory to somehow get to know them and get exposed, if you truly have a passion for music. Thankfully my father has always had impeccable taste in music...
