I missed the point completely with Exile on Main Street.
Yeah, Danny. I was just being sarcastic
COBL (Danny, right?), just finish your list right now, dude!

I have a U2 album in my #1 overall spot.
oh, Pop has been my #1 for over a decade. that ain't changin'. Just listened to it. It's still just as awesome.

Hell yes. I've said it before, but I can't think of a better 4-album streak not by Pink Floyd or The Beatles.

Personally, I like the Sgt. Peppers->Magical Mystery Tour->White Album->Abbey Road much more.

It's difficult to underestimate the awesomeness of VU's Velvet Underground & Nico--->White Light/White Heat--->Velvet Underground (1969)--->Loaded quadrilogy.

The Velvet Underground's first two albums didn't even come close to my top 100 let alone top 50

A great stretch as well, although it's difficult with Magical Mystery Tour, as it is more of a compilation of singles released during that time, with some new songs. It's not really an album in the purest sense of the word.
But yeah, still a great stretch.

. I haven't heard them myself, but if either of them is better than their third album, I don't know how it's possible not to like them

One might also add the woefully under-appreciated Goat's Head Soup to that list - 68-73 was one hell of a run for the Stones.

VU&N sounds like dog shit and will make my list because I don't own enough other albums to kick it out
That said though. I do still like the record.

I like the record too but it seriously is not one of my favourites. Who cares if it's influential? It doesn't make it any better to listen to. My top 50 list is a list of albums I love listening to the most, and not of albums that are "important" but insanely overrated.

VU&N is overrated because of shit like "Run, Run, Run" and "European Son". However, "Heroin", "Sunday Morning", "I'm Waiting For The Man", and "There She Goes Again" are unbelievably good. The rest are all pretty decent as well. Very good record overall.

There aren't many albums on which I can discern quality of production, for example, people rag on AB's poor production. I can't hear it. I also could not hear the difference bewteen the JT original and the remaster. But with VU&N... well. Give it a listen. You'll understand. Only Sunday Morning sounds good production-wise. Although didn't they record it all mostly over a few hours for a couple of grand?

An album of two bad tracks and half of it being decent does not deserve to come anywhere near being in the top fifty. The only amazing track on the album is Heroin, the rest are great at best and most aren't even that.

Ever heard of "production", Zoots?
Ahh ok sorry.. carry on!
I've heard VU&N years back... borrowed a roommate's copy. Didn't make too much of an impression on me. Certainly not as good as the 3rd album had on me!

Hell yes.
White Light's making my Top 20, that's for sure... cuz that's what Sistah Ray said!
I think the adoration over VU and Nico has as much to do with the cultural significance along with the actual music, which is an idea I subscribe to as well. I totally understand why people don't feel the same way, but in the end, I feel it's their loss.

So far, 10 lists have been sent in. At this point, Abbey Road is the clear #1, with five mentions...two of them at the very top. It's even beating out Achtung Baby.

Bah, 10 lists doesn't amount to much. I actually tried some tabulating, and there aren't enough repeat albums to really make any headway on it. Don't worry; U2 will be sitting comfortably at the top by the time everyone has their lists in, I'm convinced.

Zoots, you have any Snow albums in your Top 10?

My friends and I were joking about the song the other day and I thought of you... really didn't think you'd put it up that high. Awesome.

um I was kidding, dude! Did you honestly think I was gonna put fucking Snow in my Top 50 albums of all-time? I don't know whether to
