Interference's Top 100 Albums of All Time - Results Thread

[LMP]

That's only the third Bowie album. It's not that bad. Zep has had five placements, the Stones four.

R.E.M.'s had 2 or 3? Dylan's had about 3, Bruce has had 3, U2 has had too many so far... and Kate Bush still got 1, goddamn it.

I put Ziggy, Hunky Dory, and Low on mine, kind of the populist choices there, son.

To tell the truth, I like Station to Station less than The Mel, Pfan, and less than surprisingly, The 'Ver, but it's still awesome.

I put Space Oddity, Hunky Dory and Ziggy. I never liked Low. Station to Station would probably be #4 for me.

If you put a phonograph needle on Bill Brasky's nipple, this is what you get.

I'm 99% certain this is not a negative review.

 

[phillyfan26]

If I ever get a pet, I'm naming him either Herman, Fredo, Atticus, or Lando Calrissian. It's been settled.

Not bad, not bad. I was thinking Billy Dee Williams for my potential pet.

 

[onebloodonelife]

We haven't seen any Beatles yet, have we? Man, they are just all going to be clumped together near the top.

Magical Mystery Tour showed up earlier, but yeah, they're all going to be at the top.

 

[Anu]

So, this is like countdown style?

effing brilliant idea. keeps a thread more vital than it deserves! way to efffing go!!!

 

[bono_212]

Heroes
Low
Station to Station

for me

 

[Zoots]

Kate Bush still got 1, goddamn it.

Hey man! Hounds Of Love deserved it!

Actually I'm even more happy that Little Earthquakes made it!

Win. I may steal that.




ElMel - I jsut saw the IM I sent, sorry it was such a mess. I had meant for it to be a list, and looked that way when I pasted it. I just saw how the formatting got all fucked. My bad.

 

[LMP]

(Fuck the caps lock rule.)

THAT'S NOT THE WAY HE WANTED IT!

HE'S SMAHT AND HE WANTS RESPECT!

With some Radiohead sprinkled in there for good measure.

God, that's going to be boring.

 

[Irishteen]

Ziggy was the only Bowie album that made my list

 

[bono_212]

God, that's going to be boring.

Radiohead hasn't shown up either.

I'm so fucking excited.

 

[joyfulgirl]

I feel the same way about all the Bowie on this list as I do about all the Zepp.

I like Bowie, but jeez. Jeez, I say!

Seriously. I guess I'm old. I grew up on classic rock and it's great and all but...do you guys actually sit around listening to Led Zeppelin? I have most of their records. They're great. But I haven't listened to them in like 15 years. Same with Bowie.

 

[corianderstem]

Magical Mystery Tour showed up earlier, but yeah, they're all going to be at the top.

oh, that's right. I was very surprised to see Magical Mystery Tour on the list. It doesn't feel like much of an album to me - more like a bunch of singles slapped together with some filler.

Penny Lane and Strawberry Fields Forever were both singles, right? Or one single? and just later popped on the album?

 

[phillyfan26]

I think my list had Station to Station, Ziggy Stardust, and Space Oddity.

 

[LMP]

I put Space Oddity, Hunky Dory and Ziggy. I never liked Low. Station to Station would probably be #4 for me.

Space Oddity's solid and I like it more and more upon each listen.

Not bad, not bad. I was thinking Billy Dee Williams for my potential pet.

There's also Lovefunk Jones to consider.

Hey man! Hounds Of Love deserved it!

Actually I'm even more happy that Little Earthquakes made it!

If Hounds of Love was an actual hound, I wish it was shot... Old Yeller-style.

 

[Screwtape2]

Ziggy was the only Bowie album that made my list

Ziggy made my list too but Outside was the top Bowie album on my list. So underrated.

#26 The Doors - The Doors

The only good album The Doors ever made. w00t!

If Jim Morrison had been replaced by a singer/song writer with vocal chops and a sound mind this would be a ten star album.But little Jimmy is the lead singer-He stinks. A dull monotone singer who is proof a dull mind can't be expanded taking mind expanding drugs. The worst of the worst is "The End!" It is such drivel! They should put the lyrics and poetry of little Jimmy on toilet paper! The back up band is top notch! They should have had a better boss. Check out their spot on "Light My Fire".

The Doors are hands down the most overrated group in the history of rock.

Jim Morrison was a poet, just like Vanilla Ice.

No one over the age of 16 has any right to enjoy or even tolerate anything on this album. Possibly the most negatively influential group ever, although my rating is not based on that so much as on the fact that it sucks.

Let put things straight, I hate the Doors. I was offered this album years ago, never listened to it, because I knew perfectly what was on it. About everybody around me just loved the Doors, not me, sorry. Though it's true that lyrics are brilliant (that's why I just gave a 1), but if we're talking about Rock'n'Roll and not poetry, then I dislike all the rest. Their music, to me, is like bad and sad circus music, very boring (just listen the one and only bassline Manzarek can do with his keyboard all along this LP). These guys showed the way to ugly prog-rock, thank god the Stooges destroyed all this for a while.

 

[Axver]

No Bowie albums made my list. He failed the death growl criteria.

I can't wait to see who the closet Tori fans are.

Magical Mystery Tour was just an EP in the UK with "I Am the Walrus," "Fool on the Hill," and some other tracks, then for the US release, it was a full album with "Strawberry Fields..." and "Penny Lane" (which were only singles in the UK) included.

 

[phillyfan26]

The Doors? That surprises me, anyway.

#26 The Doors - The Doors

Ew. And ew.

 

[phillyfan26]

Well, I have 30 of the first 75 posted, and 17 made my list.

 

[LMP]

Ziggy made my list too but Outside was the top Bowie album on my list. So underrated.

Underrated or not very good?

They were released as a double-A side single, then were put on the album later.

I'm going to out myself now on this one, since I can't remember if Little Earthquakes was on my list or not, but it's the ONLY album of hers I like.

#26 The Doors - The Doors

The only good album The Doors ever made. w00t!

Be kind, now - "Strange Days" and "Waiting for the Sun" are excellent as well.

As for Bowie, why no appreciation for "Aladdin Sane"?

 

[Zoots]

I can't wait to see who the closet Tori fans are.

I know, right?


The Doors self titled = excellent choice!
