Ok, just trying to get a feel for everyone's musical alignments besides The Features..... As I am new here I suppose... I suppose I'll post mine to get things started .....

(in no particular order)

1. Joy Division "closer"
2. Richard Buckner "since"
3. Wheat "hope and adams"
4. Radiohead "ok computer"
5. Belle and Sebastian "the boy with the arab strap"
6. Uncle Tupelo "still feel gone"
7. The Replacements "tim"
9. Dinosaur Jr "you're living all over me"
10. My Bloody Valentine "loveless"
11. Neil Young "zuma"
12. Pavement "slanted and enchanted"
13. Sebadoh "III"
14. Sigur Ros "aegetis bryjun"
15. Ride "nowhere"

The only thing that I can really state is that "(What's the Story) Morning Glory?" by Oasis is my favorite album of all time. Other than that I like a lot of the usual stuff...nothing shocking and nothing daring.

"Pinkerton" by Weezer
"Blue Album" by Weezer
"Midnite Vultures" by Beck (yes, the one that everyone considers a joke)
"The Dandy Warhols Come Down" by the Dandy Warhols
"Veni Vidi Vicious" by the Hives
"The Globe Sessions" by Sheryl Crow
"The Stuff That Dreams Were Made Of" by the Starlight Mints
"Definitely Maybe" by Oasis
"Standing on the Shoulder of Giants" by Oasis
"World of Noise" by Everclear
"Feeling Strangely Fine" by Semisonic
"The Harsh Light Of Day" by Fastball

Yes I can get flamed pretty hard for those last three, but darnit if they were not some very very important and great albums that got me through 1998-2000. I don't listen to them much anymore, but I still consider them great.

The Beatles the Beatles
Breakfast With Girls Self
The Great Escape Blur
Summer Teeth Wilco
Parklife Blur
Peasants, Pigs, & Astronauts Kula Shaker
Automatic for the People R.E.M.
Check Your Head the Beastie Boys
Zooropa U2
OK Computer Radiohead
Abbey Road the Beatles
Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness the Smashing Pumpkins
Pet Sounds the Beach Boys
Arthur the Kinks
Blur Blur

1. "the velvet underground and nico" by the velvet underground
2. "vilage green preservation society" by the kinks
3. "the white album' by the beatles
4. "unknown pleasures" by joy division
5. "marquee moon" by television
6. "and then nothing turned itself inside out" by yo la tengo
7. "country life" by roxy music
8. "station to station" by david bowie
9. "nuggets II" box set by various artists
10. "the clash" by the clash
11. "nuggets I" box set by various artists
12. "all mod cons" by the jam
13. "the who sell out" by the who
14. "wowee zowee" by pavement
15. "trout mask replica" by captain beefheart

these are all subject to change at any moment.......

Hmm...it's always hard for me to differentiate my top albums of all time from those that I currently love. But, if I'm true to my history, they'd probably be:

The Apples in Stereo- Tone Soul Evolution
The Beach Boys- Pet Sounds
The Beastie Boys- Paul's Boutique
The Beatles- Abbey Road
The Beatles- Rubber Soul
Beck- Mutations
Ben Folds Five- s/t
John Coltrane- A Love Supreme
Jimi Hendrix- Axis: Bold as Love
Led Zeppelin- Houses of the Holy
Pink Floyd- Wish You Were Here
The Pixies- Doolittle
Sleater-Kinney- Dig Me Out
Elliott Smith- XO
U2- Joshua Tree

15 albums is kind of alot.. it's hard to look at one list and take it all in, but it does allow you to put in everything.

(in no order)

They Might Be Giants - Flood
The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds
The Beatles - Abbey Road
Clem Snide - The Ghost of Fashion
Weezer - Pinkerton
Nirvana - In Utero
The Beach Boys - Love You
Mineral - End Serenading
Ben Folds Five's 1st album
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Blood Sugar Sex Magic
Radiohead - OK Computer
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
The Simpsons - Songs in the Key of Springfield
Bob Dylan - Bringing it all Back Home
Miles Davis - Live at the Fillmore East

This is in a very rough particular order...

1. The Beatles/"The White Album" : The Beatles
2. Revolver : The Beatles
3. Abbey Road : The Beatles
4. Rubber Soul : The Beatles
5. Sgt. Pepper's... : The Beatles
6. For Sale : The Beatles
7. Help! : The Beatles
8. Magical Mystery Tour: The Beatles
9. Let It Be: The Beatles
10. McCartney: Paul McCartney
11. Is This It : The Strokes
12. Ok Computer : Radiohead
13. London Calling: The Clash
14. When the Pawn : Fiona Apple tied with Pinkerton : Weezer
15. The Velvet Underground and Nico tied with Loaded: Velvet Underground

The Beatles conquer my list, of course. It was painful for me to leave out their other albums, but it had to be done. I am quite the weirdo.

The Beatles - Abbey Road
Beck - Midnite Vultures
Ben Folds Five - s/t
Bjork - Post
Built to Spill - Keep It Like A Secret
Coldplay - A Rush of Blood to the Head
Pavement - Crooked Rain Crooked Rain
Radiohead - OK Computer
Radiohead - Amnesiac
REM - New Adventures in Hi Fi
Sigur Ros - Aegetis Bryjun
Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream
They Might Be Giants - John Henry
Weezer - Pinkerton
Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

hmmm... well that's it right now. Same/similar bands, different albums perhaps in a week.

Oops, ack, I forgot GNR- Appetite for Destruction. I guess Sleater-Kinney gets the boot. I have trouble nominating anything I haven't been obsessed with for at least 2 years, but it seems others are comfortable with recent releases. Kind of interesting

I often have the same problem, but my exceptions, for the most part, reflect liking new material from a band I've long been obsessed with best. Example: I've been obsessed with Coldplay since before Parachutes had an American release, but I like Rush more than Parachutes, so that got my "coldplay vote." Same with Radiohead and Amnesiac (though I also had OK, and really could have put Kid A and the Bends up too).

Wilco I did actually only recently get into, but I dig them too much to leave them off. Easily a favorite that is here to stay.

I cannot hesitate to add that a Features full-length would be on my list in the blink of an eye.

Will

the greatest album ever....

oddessey & oracle-the zombies

the rest, in no order

dub housing-pere ubu
arthur-the kinks
summerteeth-wilco
it's a shame about ray-the lemonheads
in utero-nirvana
pet sounds (or friends)-beach boys
internal wrangler-clinic
ziggy stardust-david bowie
fun house-the stooges
either or-elliott smith
revlover-the beatles
aftermath-rolling stones
nevermind the bollocks-sex pistols
navy blues-sloan

this feels really hard to do. i'll do my best:

pixies- dolittle
sleater kinney - one beat
counting crows - august and everything after
tori amos - chiorgirl hotel/scarlet's walk
elvis costello - all this useless beauty
nirvana - nevermind
the beatles - abbey road
smashing pumpkins - siamese dream
led zepellin - IV/ II
blind melon - blind melon
pavement - wowee zowee
weezer - pinkerton
beth hart - screamin for my supper
red hot chili peppers - mother's milk
elliot smith- xo


this is off the top off my head, im sure im forgetting something painfully obvious...

That's the "painfully obvious" one that I forgot- it easily bumps Hendrix off of my list

i had a lemonheads fascination when i was in high school. it's by far their best album. my favorite song is "confetti."
my dad was in a band in the 60s with the brothers who produced that album (the robbs)...they also worked with stereolab and shonen knife.

as did i. and i was quite obsessive about it. in ninth grade, i scrawled "lemonheads" on the side of my green chucks (or chuck d's, as my black friends used to call them). ray owns me, but come on feel and hate your friends give me a a soft funny feeling. too bad evan dando is a moron and a drug addict.

more than any other group, the lemonheads have had the most impact on my musical tastes.

in no order

beatles - white album
silver jews - naural bridge
bob dylan - time out of mind
wilco - summerteeth
wilco - YHF
rolling stones - exile on main street
neutral milk hotel - airplane over the sea
tom waits - bone machine
beck - mutations
radiohead - kid a
bonnie 'prince' billy - i see a darkness
neil young - on the beach
velvet underground - velvet underground
clem snide - your favorite music

Elvis Costello- Blood and Chocolate
R.E.M.- Reckoning
R.E.M.- Life's Rich Pageant
R.E.M.- Green

The Smiths- The Queen is Dead
Jeff Buckley-Grace
Whiskeytown- Faithless Street
The Jayhawks- Sound of Lies
Wilco- Summerteeth
