The Movie Forums Top 130 Albums Countdown

Morrison Hotel has appeared, you had that.

I like Radiohead too, glad to see at least one of their albums on the list (if not more later).

101. Mezzanine

No way would Amnesiac be the highest Radiohead Album

Haven't heard Mezzanine. That's it for today, great stuff guys From tomorrow it will be 5 a day, hopefully the thread will stay active with that kind of drop off. Won't be able to post any until at least 4.30, not a problem considering i have to post significantly less.

23. Massive Attack - Mezzanine

Might have even placed it a bit low...

My list:
1. Joy Division - Closer (#126; 52-pts; 2 lists)
14. Massive Attack - Mezzanine (#101; 65-pts; 2 lists)
50. Dream City Film Club - Stranger Blues (1-ptr)

The #100 is one of mine, great way to start tomorrow Also the last one (#96) i'll be posting tomorrow is the second to be in a release date decider, it lost.

I almost voted for Mezzanine, nice one.

It's beautiful but also dark. And warm.

Appetite for Destruction was my #1

08. Jeff Buckley - Grace (109)
39. Radiohead - Amnesiac (107)
46. GnR - Appetite for Destruction (104)
50. Funkadelic - Maggot Brain (1 pointer)

Yoopie, the first from my list

This time I also know No 104 (Appetite For Destruction), though I didn't vote for that. Not really a GnR fan.

Something about the albums revealed while I was sleeping. Most of them were by artists that I know of but have listened to very little so I'll just focus on the few exceptions.

Arcade Fire, Jeff Buckley, DJ Shadow and Grimes are totally unknown to me.

Back in high school one of my friends was a huge The Cure fan and I loaned couple of their albums. Didn't really get into them and haven't tried since. I suppose I should give them a second chance one day.

The Sisters of Mercy is a band I listen to occasionally. It's not too near to make my top list but it's pretty good in the right mood.

I know I've listened Hotel California multiple times but still can't remember any other songs than the title one from it (which is a great btw). Other than that I haven't given The Eagles much chances.

I voted for different Guns N' Roses myself. Appetite for Destruction isn't bad but I vastly prefer certain other albums by them.

Massive Attack is a band I'm planning to give a good try at some point. I've listened couple of albums before and there's been both good and bad there.

Jive Bunny and the Mastermixers - The Album is the only album from my list to show up on the countdown so far. (Hopefully it won't be the only one at the end of the countdown.)

I got this album as a gift from a friend in college. He knew that I love rabbits, and he saw this CD in a discount store, so he bought it for me as a joke. As it turned out, the joke was on him because I loved the album.

If you haven't heard it, give it a try:




If you like that track, here's a link to the whole album on YouTube:

Endtroducing was my #7. An ageless piece of musical experimentation that (along with J Dilla's Donuts, which I also voted for) showed how much art can be wrought from a method as easily-dismissed as sampling. It goes from contemplative and chilled to loud and bombastic to creepy and minimalist at the drop of multiple hats and yet it all flows together perfectly. Also gotta love how it samples both Twin Peaks and John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness.

Appetite for Destruction is...not very good. I still feel compelled to give it a listen every once in a long while, but it definitely feels like there are better places to get a fix of bone-headed hard rock (though there are also far worse, of course - I'll take this over just about anything by Motley Crüe).

Art Angels was my #35. It's an excellent piece of experimental dream pop that effortlessly bounces around between all sorts of vibes and moods (one example being the sequence of the upbeat melancholy of "California" to the urgent howl of "Scream" to the relentless catharsis of "Flesh Without Blood") and everything from Grimes' bizarre vocal range to the considerable variety of each individual track certainly make this a standout, especially considering how its generally pleasant and summery vibe contrasts quite heavily with most of the other albums on my list.

Wasting Light is one of the more surprising entries so far. While I was half-expecting the Foo Fighters to show up in some capacity, this wasn't the one I expected (though in retrospect it makes sense, I guess). I guess it's because most of their albums blur together for me (this one included) that I was surprised anyone felt strongly enough about it to get it on the list. I guess this means that we can probably expect The Colour and the Shape at some point.

Mezzanine is another all-around great album that I simply didn't vote for.
