The Movie Forums Top 130 Albums Countdown

[Miss Vicky]

Queen is yet another classic artist whose hits I enjoy, but I've never bothered to listen to an actual album. At some point I probably ought to remedy that.

[Chypmunk]

Much prefer early Queen, have never even listened to that one.
Well done Ms. M though.

[Camo]

Queen is yet another classic artist whose hits I enjoy, but I've never bothered to listen to an actual album. At some point I probably ought to remedy that.

Like i said, same i haven't listened to a studio album of theirs. I don't even know what one is most often called their best. They feel like the best example of a Greatest Hits Band to me.

[cricket]

Love the some clean, ate some queen, didn't vote for any of their albums.

[Ms. M]

Thanks Camo:)
My list: Queen - Made in heaven

:D

[cricket]

Well that voice text sure went crap.

[Chypmunk]

Love the some clean, ate some queen, didn't vote for any of their albums.
Quoted for posterity :D

When you get to reveal your complete list please, please, please, please do so via voice text - could be some loverly weird and wonderful albums on it ;)

[Sedai]

Love the some clean, ate some queen, didn't vote for any of their albums.

Last time I listen to some guy in a banana hammock!

[pahaK]

Like many others I like individual Queen songs but every time I try to listen an album I get bored. They're just so uneven.

[cat_sidhe]

Queen is yet another classic artist whose hits I enjoy, but I've never bothered to listen to an actual album. At some point I probably ought to remedy that.

Not a fan of Queen. I do like th eodd song or two, though, and recognise the talent involved. Just not really my thing....

[cat_sidhe]

Well that voice text sure went crap.

Dear cricket:

Please in future only ever communicate with me using voice text.

Kthxbai.

[Miss Vicky]

Not a fan of Queen. I do like th eodd song or two, though, and recognise the talent involved. Just not really my thing....

Well their Greatest Hits has become a staple of any road trip I take with my best friend. Bohemian Rhapsody, complete with Wayne's World style sing-along, is an absolute requirement.

[Ms. M]

I had known Queen hits,but it was the first whole album of them I listened and it's the only one full album of Queen I like:)

[Ms. M]

Gb, now it's the time for something from your list:up:

[Camo]

Gb, now it's the time for something from your list:up:

Think it's only gbg and Minio waiting on an Album. Minio has one soon, no comment on gbg for now.

So keep my finger crossed for their both noms:)

[resopamenic]

Delve into their discography is an absurd because so many forgettable stuff.

Queen II is nice tho'

[resopamenic]

Minio's breakthrough?
Dont tell me it was that album o.O

[Chypmunk]

Oh I do like to be beside the seaside....

[Sedai]

Queen's A Night at the Opera is a fantastic album. Definitely my favorite of theirs. I would recommend giving that one a spin to anyone looking to give one of their albums a try...

[Camo]

Minio's breakthrough?
Dont tell me it was that album o.O

Nah mate, none of his has shown yet. One is coming up somewhere in the next few sets though.

[gbgoodies]

Congrats Ms.M, you made it! Sorry gbg :( Don't worry, like i said everyone that voted got at least one on the list.

Gb, now it's the time for something from your list:up:

I'm not surprised that nothing from my list has shown up yet. At least I'm starting to recognize some of the artists. :lol:


Think it's only gbg and Minio waiting on an Album. Minio has one soon, no comment on gbg for now.

It sounds like either something on my list somehow made it high on the countdown, (not likely), or the only album from my list to make the countdown is Jive Bunny and the Mastermixers, (my 1-pointer).

[Iroquois]

I like Queen well enough, but haven't heard Made in Heaven. Definitely one of the more surprising entries so far.

[Chypmunk]

Faildictions time:

75. Genesis - Selling England By The Pound
74. Eminem - The Marshall Mathers LP
73. Prince - Dirty Mind
72. Johnny Cash - At Folsom Prison
71. Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath

[Thursday Next]

Suede and Different Class were both on my list. I was a huge fan of Suede back in the day and still like them a lot now, they had an album out a couple of years ago that was really good. Their self-titled debut wasn't the only one on my list but probably the only one that will show up on the countdown. I wasn't as big a Pulp fan but they were still pretty big on the Britpop horizon and Different Class is an album with a definite identity and a string of good songs. I think I had two versions of the single Something Changed on cassette.

[cricket]

I only know a handful of songs by The Cure but they seem like an awesome band, just like The Talking Heads are.

I haven't liked most of what I've heard from Oasis.

Not an Oasis fan at all.

[Miss Vicky]

I voted for none of these.

And I hate Oasis.

[Iroquois]

Faith is alright, though I don't feel strongly about it one way or another. It's certainly not my favourite Cure album (and I'm inclined to assume that Disintegration will be appearing sooner or later).

Remain in Light is my #1. So much of what I like about music in general can be found condensed into this album, plus Talking Heads are just my kind of band and their first four albums are one of the finest runs of music ever made (of which this album is clearly the peak).

I don't f*ck with Oasis so of course I don't f*ck with Definitely Maybe (and won't f*ck with Morning Glory when it shows up).

Even when I was actively interested in listening to Dylan, Blonde on Blonde always felt like a bit of a struggle to engage with. I may yet give it another chance now.

Back in Black...eh, I guess there are at least a couple of okay songs but it (and AC/DC in general) is just too bone-headed for me to ever sincerely like (which makes it of a piece with the likes of the Doors or GNR).

[pahaK]

Remain in Light is my #1. So much of what I like about music in general can be found condensed into this album, plus Talking Heads are just my kind of band and their first four albums are one of the finest runs of music ever made (of which this album is clearly the peak).

I suppose I'll give this album a try. I've definitely heard of Talking Heads and quite likely even heard some songs but I have absolutely no recollection at all what they sound like.

[mark f]

Ho hum. Two from the last five five were mine, but if I can't care, nobody else really would.

[Camo]

Should watch Stop Making Sense as well. Haven't done it myself yet but think i might in the next few days after this Countdown has reminded me. It's directed by Jonathan Demme: Philadelphia, Silence of the Lambs, Something Wild, etc.

[Chypmunk]

Ho hum. Two from the last five five were mine, but if I can't care, nobody else really would.
Talking Heads and Bob Dylan?

Hope you manage to escape your current funk, makes me sad to see you posting like this.

[Citizen Rules]

I like Oasis' music, I just don't like the screeching, can't sing vocals. That's pretty much true for any popular bands that I don't like...usually it's because I can't stand the vocals.

[Camo]

Oasis are very nostalgic for me except it's not in a good way, they're like a bad memory. Not sure what the negative connection there is but i don't like listening to them anymore as a result, especially Wonderwall which i never liked.

Actually I think I burnt out on it, long ago.

It's apparently the most streamed song made before 2000 on Spotify :eek:

Why else would you have a gold copy of Nevermind?

[Camo]

I never have a clue what you're talking about dd, that's why you're my favourite. Are those posts related to my negative connection with Oasis post?

[cricket]

I used to hate Wonderwall, then it was in a movie I loved, then suddenly I liked it. Like magic, but that's how music is with me; it enhances experiences.

[cat_sidhe]

Like magic, but that's how music is with me; it enhances experiences.

It does that for me, too. It also calms the beast, or excites it. :D

[cricket]

Like I love Appetite for Destruction but I don't think it's the greatest album. I was 16 when it came out, and the music is about the friends I had and the experiences we shared. I cried the last time I listened to it, and it's definitely not crying music.

I guess I'll never figure out how to internet, aw shucks.


It was my random connection to Oasis and the fabulous Blockbuster Music stores of my youth. The typical high school miscreant behavior. We would do this ... Pile in a car and drive in to town. Go to a store and do this ... Listen to whatever we had procured while trying not to get caught disgracing our family names.


Funny how things work out. I had two of the big case logic, 2 disc a page (I mean the 4 per page were obscene, who needs that much) cases. Freshman year of college, went for a ride, took my cds because we didn't have ipods and you just might need to listen to any single one of those discs, sat down to parlay with some people in front of the dorms, got up and left my cases on the bench, never to see them again. The universe just smooths things out like that.

[doubledenim]

Another good thing about digital music, people will never have to learn the only place for a cd is in a jewel case.

[cat_sidhe]

This is true. Tried flip files and hated that, so went back to jewel cases, only to forget about CDs altogether.

[doubledenim]

I was listening to possibly the greatest "pop" album, cuz I guess that's a thing... The concept of the hidden track is no longer a thing I suppose. I had forgotten how awesome those use to be. Especially if you waited out the 15 minutes or so :nope: before the secret sauce started pouring.

I have a few of those. Listened to one earlier. Some Canadian pop chick nobody cared about except me and a couple other people. Pretty long silence between the (awesome) last track and hidden track.

[cat_sidhe]

Not that they featured in this countdown...just saying regarding the hidden track awesomeness that was a thing a while back.

It's a pain in iPod shuffle though.

[doubledenim]

I think one of the Tool albums had one, except they just filled it up with a bunch of short blank tracks, until you got to # whatever, Maynard still got his back turned to you.

[cat_sidhe]

Hey. Seems like a good place to actually play her. That last track, that was ...worth the set up. Pretty.

She didn't make my list. But I like hearing her every now and then...

To elaborate on this GIF:

Definitely Maybe is my #45. First of all - what's up with all the indifference towards Oasis? Maybe it's karma for mocking Bob Dylan. :p

Well, I kinda understand why. Oasis is a very derivative band, and lo-fi too. Liam, by definition, is a bad singer (an awesome vocalist though) and his technique is just about the worst. Noel - every riff he plays is an extremely loud version of a Beatles riff. The other band members are fine, but there's nothing special about them. The production...

But the reason I like Oasis so much though is that the negative aspects I mentioned are actually positives for me. Here are 5 lads who started from working-classs Manchester, and played the brightest, simplest, and catchiest music and as a way to represent their hopes for a better future. This lyric, from their song 'Whatever', pretty much sums it up:

"I'm free to be whatever I, whatever I choose and I'll sing the blues if I want..."

[cat_sidhe]

I'm an Oasis hater. But I don't mind Liam Gallagher's solo stuff so far. It's just Oasis's whine isn't my kind of whine when I'm into whine.

[Gatsby]

I do long division to Math Rock. The term 'Math Rock' is such an easy way to turn off potential listeners.

I really liked 'Wall of Glass' from Liam's album - he's easily beating his brother. who's album sounds like psychedelic farts. Sorry Noel. :D

Wait, am I a prison?

Yes, your name is beautiful prison in inmate tongue.

I like some of Cash's hits but only ever listened to his Unchained album (for which Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers were his backing band and Lindsey Buckingham made an appearance) so he didn't get any votes from me.

I don't think I've heard the others and doubt I would like them.

Kero Kero Bonito has to be listened as a whole album. Somehow listened this way it's better than any song separately. Still, it's not good music and Swan overrates the hel out of it!!!

Henry Rollins character on Sons of Anarchy is nuts. He's a rapist nazi and still the show tries to make you sympathise with him during his death scene. The dude who got him to do the rape is probably the most i've hated a character on a tv show.

Nah, you've got something on the actual Countdown i wouldn't cruelly count your one pointer in what i've been saying haha.


I know that my taste in music is different than most people here, so it wouldn't have surprised me, (or upset me), if nothing on my list made the countdown, but it's nice to know that something from my list will eventually show up. :)

[Iroquois]

Haven't heard Bonito Generation or Reckless

At Folsom Prison is good, but I didn't vote for it.

Moving Pictures surprises me not because it showed up but because I didn't actually vote for it this time around - it was top 25 for me the last time but apparently it didn't crack my top 50 at all this time around. That's what I get for thinking I was too cool to vote for it and instead picking a bunch of obscure stuff that I'm willing to bet won't make the final list. In any case, Moving Pictures is a 5/5 for me anyway and I definitely regret not voting for it now.

[gbgoodies]

I still don't have any albums from my list on the countdown, but at least I'm getting closer. Two albums that I like made the countdown. :)


68. At Folsom PrisonJohnny Cash

I think we can all agree that the original Star Wars soundtrack is fantastic. :up:

[Chypmunk]

No soundtracks on my ballot, nothing against them I just don't tend to listen to them in isolation.

Same actually, with the exception of the Phantom Thread one which i've listened to a bunch this year and Goodfellas in the past but that's more like a Greatest Hits Album haha.

I listened to Madonna's whole Discography one weekend last year, was actually talking to SC through some of it which is fitting. I like some songs and see the appeal but it isn't really my thing. One place off chyp :laugh:

Damn, soooo close lol. Certainly the closest I've ever come to nailing Madonna :D

Don't mind some of her stuff but don't really see the huge appeal and didnae vote for anything by her.

[cricket]

I also voted for a soundtrack, but not that one.

I didn't mind a little Madonna back in the day, and that's all I have nice to say.

[mojofilter]

So far,10 albums in my TOP 50 have appeared...


127. Cat Stevens - Tea For The Tillerman
116. Green Day - Dookie
104. Guns N' Roses - Appetite For Destruction
102. Foo Fighters - Wasting Light
90. Nirvana - Unplugged in New York
87. The Doors - Strange Days
84. Green Day - American Idiot

73. Oasis - Definitely Maybe

67. Bryan Adams – Reckless

64. Madonna – True Blue

[Miss Vicky]

I grew up in a household where MTV was pretty much on 24/7 through much of my childhood (back when they actually played music videos) so I heard Madonna a lot and mostly enjoyed her music. For whatever reason though I never really explored it and only have like 3 or 4 songs of hers that I bought on iTunes.

[Camo]

63. Kick INXS

https://i.imgur.com/SrIcnR4.jpg

(88 Points, 2 Lists)

[Camo]

Not a major favourite but i do enjoy INXS.

[Chypmunk]

INXS are ok and Kick for me would be their best, don't listen to them much these days though and consequently didnae vote for them.

[Sedai]

Moving Pictures was my #2. Rush is probably my favorite band of all time, as my adoration for them started in the 70s, and hasn't really let up since. I have seen them many times live, including their final tour a couple of years ago. There are Rush records I like almost as much, such as Grace Under Pressure, Power Windows, and 2112, but I chose what I think is the quintessential Rush record in Moving Pictures. I was hoping for a Top 25 from this classic progressive rock album, but it fell way short of that, coming in at #66.

[Miss Vicky]

Kick was my #13. So many fantastic songs and Michael Hutchence had such a sexy voice (not bad on the eyes either :randy: ).

I almost never listen to albums anymore but many of the songs from Kick are in heavy rotation on my iPod.

[pahaK]

True Blue and Like a Prayer by Madonna are actually quite good albums. Even used to have the latter as a vinyl before I sold all my vinyls away. Didn't vote for either album, though (they're not that good in my opinion).

[Miss Vicky]

Also this might just be the best music video ever made:

[Camo]

Like i said earlier i struggled to get into Kendrick for a while, eventually did. I personally prefer both To Pimp A Butterfly and Damn to GKMC tho.

[Chypmunk]

Couldn't even say if I've listened to a single Kendrick Lamar choon (maybe in a song tourney?) let alone an album full. I'll probably give him a lil listen at some point though to see if I'm missing anything.

Anybody know if he's related to Jack and Vera from Corrie at all?? :goof:

[Iroquois]

Obviously can't speak ill of the Star Wars score in general, but I've never sat down and listened to it in album form so I imagine it plays a little differently that way.

I've heard True Blue as background noise and found it passable, will have to give it a proper listen some time.

Kick is pretty decent.

Good Kid is excellent - a little undecided as to whether or not to consider it better than Butterfly (the former is a lot less cohesive but makes up for it with some great individual tracks).

[Miss Vicky]

I don't think I've ever listened to anything from Kendrick Lamarr. Doubt I'd like it though.

Figures that Gatsby writes for Rolling Stone. Ranking Dave Grohl and Carey next to each makes sense. (https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/100-greatest-drummers-of-all-time-77933/dave-grohl-6-34847/)

I have time to try my hand at Faildictions. :D

[Sedai]

Neil, obviously, but Stewart Copeland is the greatest drummer of all-time.

I have trouble handing that accolade out. Both Peart and Copeland were very important to the evolution and growth of the approach to playing percussion, and they did it at a time where the average player was of a much lower skill level than today. Now, it seems like almost every metal show I attend has this monstrous, machine of a drummer that fires off insane fills and rudiments at ridiculous speeds. Some of them even play with nuance! ;)

I think it's easy to list of guys that changed the game or brought a new approach to drums than it is to isolate one person that was or is the absolute best player. Again, both Copeland Peart, and probably Carey all fit the bill in that regard. I don't see Carey being as influential though.

[Chypmunk]

Poor auld Ringo. Nobody loves Ringo.

Fair enough, but I regard Copeland highly because I actually don't like the type of drumming that's trending these days - 400 bpm blast beats, double bass-drum fills, gospel chops... the list goes on. It's all exhausting to me. I like Copeland because he's so amazingly creative with the relatively little equipment. Also, the reggae influence man! :D
