There are more good albums in the world than just 100. :-)

Anyway, I miss Rick Wakeman on "The Yes Album". But it is a good album regardless.

Crime Of the Century is an interesting choice. There are definitely classic melodies on that though it's not an album (or a band) I care for much anymore.

I'm curious about your love for A Trick Of the Tail. I bought a copy, not realizing it was post-Gabriel, and never listen to it since the first time I played it. What do you see as its strengths.

"Close To The Edge" is the Yes album most often featured in "best of all time" lists.

As for post-Gabriel Genesis, most Genesis fans will agree that the first two post-Gabriel albums are just as strong as their Gabriel-output. It wasn't until Hackett left and Phil Collins started contributing more to the songwriting that they changed their style in a more pop oriented direction.

it occurs to me that my "second 100"--the stuff I love but left off--would probably be really interesting to compile

it also occurs to me that life's too short. but I do want to formally apologize to Talk Talk, Super Furry Animals, Cee-Lo, and Cannibal Ox for leaving them off, and to the Boo Radleys for only including one album, and to Martin Carr for not putting on any Brave Captain, etc. etc. etc. ho hum

Dolly Mixture should be higher dude! and as for the other one...

Very nice. :-)

I love hearing that, the Boo Radleys would actually make three albums in my top 100 but I'm insane, major respect for your choice being C'mon Kids, yes that is one of them. bravecaptain would not make my list, looking forward to hearing Martin's (bravecaptain) brand new album for 2006. Also loved that last poster including Moose on his list, such an underrated band, but would have a different album on my list but love that album as well.

I made a top 100 about three years ago but is so outdated that I can no way cut and paste that same list. I'm just about ready to finalize my 2005 list so I'm not about to go there.

List of Tokenist Music (Mostly From The 1970s) for White Middle-Aged American Males

ok, because it's in The Rules, no compilations, no live albums, no archival releases, no 7" or 12" singles, no EPs, no classical, all of which restrictions serve to make this list significantly more tokenist (eliminating, for instance, some of the best work of Patrick Cowley and Arthur Russell, Slayer's "Haunting the Chapel", the best '50s rock, almost all chart pop, all music ever from before the 1950s). Further rules: One album per named artist, no insulting the reader by naming Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and the Beatles (if you're a middle-aged white American male and haven't heard their catalog you're not the target audience of this list), and NO RECORDS BY THE FUCKING FALL.

I sort-of thought about doing this a while ago, but ended up with a long list of albums I could not be bothered if I ever heard them again.

Funny, that.

i'd be willing to never hear any particular album or song or piece of music again, because music is experiential for me. but i don't let go of my experiences, and i try to honor my influences. derbe respect, alder.
