Dr. C (Dr. C), Tuesday, 12 October 2004 15:47 (twenty-one years ago)

No way, neither "Jake's Progress" by Jake Thackray or "God Bless Tiny Tim" or on that list

Dada, Tuesday, 12 October 2004 15:51 (twenty-one years ago)

No way, neither "Jake's Progress" by Jake Thackray or "God Bless Tiny Tim" are on that list

Dada, Tuesday, 12 October 2004 15:51 (twenty-one years ago)

I think I would disagree with seventeen of those.

Jamie Fake (the pirate king), Tuesday, 12 October 2004 15:52 (twenty-one years ago)

you certainly enjoyed the 80's Dr C.

jed_ (jed), Tuesday, 12 October 2004 15:53 (twenty-one years ago)

Hear that, last 20 years? YOU SUCK

alfalfa romeo (natepatrin), Tuesday, 12 October 2004 15:57 (twenty-one years ago)

(That goes double for you 1950-1967)

alfalfa romeo (natepatrin), Tuesday, 12 October 2004 15:58 (twenty-one years ago)

scott 4 is very good. i will admit that.

peter smith (plsmith), Tuesday, 12 October 2004 16:02 (twenty-one years ago)

Scott 3 is better - hold on, we've had this discussion before

Derridadaismus (Dada), Tuesday, 12 October 2004 16:03 (twenty-one years ago)

if number thirteen is the one album worth of good songs from sandinista... it's still pushing it....
OTOH, you might be right about psychedelic shack....

m0stly clean (m0stly clean), Tuesday, 12 October 2004 16:10 (twenty-one years ago)

always enjoy your writing, Dr. C (and hearing from someone of roughly same vintage). thanks for livening up the day!

Paul (scifisoul), Tuesday, 12 October 2004 16:24 (twenty-one years ago)

i don't own any of those. in fact, i think i've only ever heard anything from 7 of them.

m. (mitchlnw), Tuesday, 12 October 2004 16:26 (twenty-one years ago)

Is "ESP" on that Buzzcocks album?

sundar subramanian (sundar), Tuesday, 12 October 2004 16:28 (twenty-one years ago)

i only have one of these records

weasel diesel (K1l14n), Tuesday, 12 October 2004 16:32 (twenty-one years ago)

Closer? That's the one I have. I used to have Movement but I sold it.

sundar subramanian (sundar), Tuesday, 12 October 2004 16:33 (twenty-one years ago)

I have 16.

Dumping shampoo onto my eyeballs beats #10.

Andy K (Andy K), Tuesday, 12 October 2004 16:36 (twenty-one years ago)

(that one is joy division) i have a new order best of too, but no "movement"...if i were to like any of these other albums, i'd say the most likely are new order and abc. several of these bands i have never heard of.

weasel diesel (K1l14n), Tuesday, 12 October 2004 16:45 (twenty-one years ago)

My ten:

1. Denzil Forrest: Red Tooth Sound

ryano, Tuesday, 12 October 2004 16:49 (twenty-one years ago)

Dr.C's list is very Dr.C :-), but good choices nonethless.

-- Jeff W (cworrel...), December 10th, 2001.

*Dr.C's list is very Dr.C :-)*
What's 'very Dr. C' then, Jeff? ;)

-- Dr. C (Daveatcrossdee...), December 11th, 2001.

'Very Dr.C' = Factory + glam + Madonna + 1978 + classic soul + Trojan + Kinks/Small Faces + 23 Skidoo! ;-)

-- Jeff W (cworrel...), December 11th, 2001.

P.S. - I must agree with Andy K. The Decca stuff I can take, but the Immediate era... ugh.

Jeff W (zebedee), Tuesday, 12 October 2004 16:52 (twenty-one years ago)

I have 8 of these, none of which I would include on a "The greatest 17 albums ever made" list. Seven of the others I've heard, and wouldn't include on the list. The other two, I guess, I can't offer any opinion on.

peepee (peepee), Tuesday, 12 October 2004 16:55 (twenty-one years ago)

Dr C & C Music Factory

Freelance Hiveminder (blueski), Tuesday, 12 October 2004 16:58 (twenty-one years ago)

I can never "get" the "Movement" = best New Order album arguments.

MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Tuesday, 12 October 2004 17:00 (twenty-one years ago)

I can tolerate them better than the "Movement = best Joy Division album" arguments.

sundar subramanian (sundar), Tuesday, 12 October 2004 17:08 (twenty-one years ago)

**must agree with Andy K. The Decca stuff I can take, but the Immediate era... ugh.**

Holy shit! The first Immediate album is fantastic! Oh well maybe a Decca v Immediate taking sides is on the cards.

Just a bit of fun, this list. Just a bit of fun. I'll probably disagree with most of 'em myself tomorrow. I'm kicking myself for missing out Neu 75 as it is.

Sundar - ESP is on Love Bites.

Dr. C (Dr. C), Tuesday, 12 October 2004 18:09 (twenty-one years ago)

Anyone who doesn't like Immediate-era Small Faces has no soul.

I have 10 of the good Dr.'s, and none of them would make my top 17 except possibly the Zombies.

Roy Williams Highlight (diamond), Tuesday, 12 October 2004 18:26 (twenty-one years ago)

Forget that list. here is the real deal:

01. Milton Nascimento - Minas
02. John Coltrane - Sun Ship
03. Beach Boys - Smiley Smile
04. PJ Harvey - Rid of Me
05. Kinks - Something Else
06. The Cure - Faith
07. Black Uhuru - Guess who's comming for dinner
08. Pixies - Tromp le monde
09. Paul & Linda - Ram
10. Stone Roses
11. Legião Urbana - V
12. Bee Gees - Saturday Night Fever
13. Beck - One Foot in Grave
14. The Strokes - Is this it?
15. The doors - Strange Days
16. Frank Zappa - Absolutely Free
17. Beat Happening - Dreamy


Elvis is Dead, Tuesday, 12 October 2004 21:35 (twenty-one years ago)

I like Elvis's list much, much better. And I especially like his #1.

Roy Williams Highlight (diamond), Tuesday, 12 October 2004 21:44 (twenty-one years ago)

OK, here's mine. The initial list isn't all that bad, I have or have owned 10 of them.

1. Zebedy Colt--I'll Sing for You (gay male porn star makes album of standards in 1970)
2. Miracles--City of Angels
3. Diana Dors--Swinging Dors
4. Antonio Carlos Jobim--Stone Flower
5. Kinks--Something Else
6. Everly Bros.--Two Yanks in England
7. Willie Colon/Ruben Blades--Siembra (of course)
8. James Brown--James Brown and His Famous Flames Tour the USA
9. Lee Dorsey--The New Lee Dorsey
10. Beach Boys--Wild Honey
11. Mer-Da--Long Burn the Fire
12. Autechre--Chiastic Slide
13. O'Jays--Back Stabbers
14. Jimi Hendrix--Rainbow Bridge
15. Solomon Burke--King Solomon
16. Peter Scherer--Very Neon Pet
17. Gilberto Gil--Realce

Of course, the list will be completely different tomorrow, but these seem pretty good to me right now.

eddie hurt (ddduncan), Tuesday, 12 October 2004 22:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Or, something along the lines of, "17 great albums that you may check out once you have checked out The Beatles" :-)

Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Tuesday, 12 October 2004 22:25 (twenty-one years ago)

Ha - I only have two of Dr C's (The Kick Inside and Closer. I've never actually listened to Closer)

Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 12 October 2004 22:29 (twenty-one years ago)

I plan to one day. I'm saving it up for the right moment.

Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 12 October 2004 22:29 (twenty-one years ago)

If you really want my honest opinion as to the greatest albums/my favorites, I couldn't help but include some obvious ones:

1. Jimi Hendrix - Axis Bold as Love
2. Ellington/Mingus/Roach - Money Jungle
3. Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin III
4. Gang of Four - Entertainment
5. Fugazi - Red Medicine
6. Isotope 217 - Utonian Automatic
7. John Coltrane - Coltrane's Sound
8. Herbie Hancock - Emperyan Isles
9. Bill Evans - Sunday at the Village Vanguard
11. Thelonious Monk - Thelonious in Action
12. Curtis Mayfield - Superfly
13. DJ Shadow - Endtroducing
14. Fela Kuti - Open and Close
15. Joni Mitchell - Blue
16. Sam Prekop - s/t
17. Smog - Red Apple Falls

That's off the top of my head, so I'd probably make some revisions.

Hurting (Hurting), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 00:41 (twenty-one years ago)

Why 17?

lemin (lemin), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 00:45 (twenty-one years ago)

Why not?

Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 06:22 (twenty-one years ago)

It's his idea of music heaven.

Heaven 17, you see.

Marcello Carlin, Wednesday, 13 October 2004 08:19 (twenty-one years ago)

No Secondhand Daylight Doc?

Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 08:28 (twenty-one years ago)

If Laura had done a top 17 at least half of Dr C's choices would also have been on her list, give or take a Durutti Column, Fad Gadget or Wild Swans.

Marcello Carlin, Wednesday, 13 October 2004 08:31 (twenty-one years ago)

I've tried and I've tried but I just can't do this.

I start off OK with Trout Mask Replica at no. 1; then I just start accumulating more and more and more albums that I just can't chose between which all tie for number two.

Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 08:32 (twenty-one years ago)

Well that was yesterday's list. If I did it today I'd probably include Durutti Column - Without Mercy, Sly&Family Stone - Stand, DJ Shadow - Entroducing, Human League - Travelogue, Secondhand Daylight...

Dr. C (Dr. C), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 10:17 (twenty-one years ago)

Limiting myself to 17 different acts, my list is as follows:

1. Selling England By The Pound – Genesis (1973)
2. Skylarking – XTC (1986)
3. Construction Time Again – Depeche Mode (1983)
4. Pet Sounds – Beach Boys (1966)

7. High Land Hard Rain – Aztec Camera (1983)
8. OK Computer – Radiohead (1997)
9. Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Heart’s Club Band – The Beatles (1967)
10. No Sleep Til Famous – Merrymakers (1995)

15. A Night At The Opera – Queen (1975)
16. Radiator – Super Furry Animals (1997)

Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 10:23 (twenty-one years ago)

"Well that was yesterday's list. If I did it today I'd probably include...."

I can relate to that.

If you kept on compiling lists of your top 17 albums every day from now on until there was no possibility of any album appearing on such a list that hadn't already appeared on one, how many different albums would have been nominated in total do you think?

How many (if any) albums would appear on every single list that you'd produced and what are they?

For the purposes of this exercise you may assume that you don't hear any album that would qualify for inclusion in such a list between now and the completion of this exercise.

Please show all your workings.

Do not write on more than one side of your computer screen.

Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 11:48 (twenty-one years ago)

From Geir's list I have Skylarking (v.overrated), Pet Sounds (v.good), The Zombies (utter genius), Radiohead (dull), Sgt.Pepper (by a million miles their worst album), Close To The Edge (fantastic!) and The Original Soundtrack (either great or tedious, depending on day of the week).

Dr. C (Dr. C), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 11:50 (twenty-one years ago)

The Beatles worst album is called "The Beatles" and was released about a year later. The only Beatles album that doesn't even reach my Top 10 albums of that year.

Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 12:18 (twenty-one years ago)

Blasfemy!

Yay for A Secret Wish!

Intriguing K.Bush choice, I must say.

OleM (OleM), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 15:10 (twenty-one years ago)

Well, everything she did was grebt, but I kind of prefer piano-Kate to fairlight-Kate. I know most people would go for The Dreaming or Hounds.

sometimes i like to pretend i am very small and warm (ex machina), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 15:24 (twenty-one years ago)

what, no one else knows about Zebedy Colt? His version of "Lush Life" kills Johnny Hartman's...

here's my list of 17 albums I consider, really, to be the "best" or at least the ones I return to over and over.

1. Byrds--Notorious Byrd Brothers
2. Moby Grape--Moby Grape
3. Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band--Lick My Decals Off, Baby
4. Big Star--Third
5. James Brown--Sex Machine
6. Jon Hassell/Brian Eno--Fourth World Possible Musics Vol. 1
7. Sly and the Family Stone--There's a Riot Goin' On
8. Love--Da Capo
9. Beach Boys--Love You
10. Funkadelic--One Nation Under a Groove
11. Marshall Crenshaw--Field Day
12. Miles Davis--A Tribute to Jack Johnson
13. Thelonious Monk--Brilliant Corners
14. Pavement--Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain
15. Chic--Real People
16. Antonio Carlos Jobim and Elis Regina--Elis & Tom
17. Prince--Dirty Mind

All classics, all records I can hear any time, any place. Actually, Geir, I've been listening to the Beatles' "Hard Day's Night" a lot lately, that's a good one, as is "For Sale." They'd be in my top 50, as would "Radio City," "Trout Mask Replica," "Loaded," Howard Tate's Verve sides, Gilberto Gil's "Gilberto Gil" and "Realce," Sly's "Fresh," the collection of the Parliaments' Revilot sides, "Odessey and Oracle" and Chilton's "Like Flies on Sherbert."

And no, "The Beatles" aka "The White Album" is one of their better works. And yes, I do like Jellyfish--"Spilt Milk" is a good one but hardly something I'd put near the top. I'm also partial to Nick Lowe's "Pure Pop for Now People"/"Jesus of Cool" and "Labour of Lust," two records I return to frequently. "Nervous on the Road" by Brinsley is another one I like a lot. Then of course there are albums by the Fall, the Buzzcocks, Liliput, various comps of early blues, etc., like Joe Bussard's "Down in the Basement" which are essential; great "minor" Stax albums like Johnnie Taylor's "Who's Making Love" and Booker T.'s "Melting Pot," Burke's "King Solomon," Nilsson, "Gilded Palace of Sin" and Parson's "Grievous Angel," and many, many more...I mean what the "canon" is I dunno and don't much care.

And the Diana Dors record I mentioned earlier, "Swinging Dors," is actually very good in the Sinatra/Peggy Lee vein...and mighty hard to find too...

eddie hurt (ddduncan), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 16:12 (twenty-one years ago)

as great as Neu '75 is, and this is from someone who's been secretly thrilled by the relatively recent critical exhaltation of that album (Cope, Reynolds, Dr. C, etc), how can any Neu album be better than the first one, punk rock n glacial ambience or no?

Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 21:54 (twenty-one years ago)

Very cool list, Tuomas. The Pole, Hancock, and Miles are all essential.

Right now I'm saying

Led Zeppelin IV
Jimi Hendrix - Electric Ladyland
Sonny Sharrock - Ask the Ages
Keith Rowe - A Dimension of Perfectly Ordinary Reality
Dave Douglas - Freak In
Philip Glass - Einstein On the Beach
L Subramaniam - En Concert

Diamanda Galas - Schrei X
Aphex Twin - Drukqs or The Richard D James Album

But my list changes every time.

I kinda wanna put Amon Duul II and New Order on there.

sometimes i like to pretend i am very small and warm (ex machina), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 22:18 (twenty-one years ago)

I was going to include Yes but they just missed the list. I was torn between The Yes Album, Close to the Edge, and Relayer.

sundar subramanian (sundar), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 22:39 (twenty-one years ago)

Close To The Edge, dudes! And RELAYER over FRAGILE is sheer mentalism.

I don't have the energy to make a list, but it would contain the beatles & black sabbath & the dead c.

Helios Creed (orion), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 22:41 (twenty-one years ago)

1. Penthouse and Pavement
2. Music for Listening To
3. The Luxury Gap
4. Music of Quality and Distinction

just kidding, sorta, I'm too frazzled to come up with a list. Dave, just got the Propaganda CD finally, with the included DVD of 3 videos! I also ordered the Act 3cd set, the Thomas Leer and Robert Rental CD(I have the LP) and Leer's Scale of Ten on CD.

Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 22:49 (twenty-one years ago)

Shit, the Shankar I wanted is Three Ragas. More on Yes later.

sundar subramanian (sundar), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 22:56 (twenty-one years ago)

(I know that sounds dumb. I do listen to them both a lot. The names are so nondescript that I mix them up sometimes.)

sundar subramanian (sundar), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 22:59 (twenty-one years ago)

(And, yes, I have other RS albums. Those are the only 2 on my hard drive.)

sundar subramanian (sundar), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 23:07 (twenty-one years ago)

I'd say the only Heaven 17 album that really worked was "Penthouse And Pavement". "The Luxury Gap" had its moments, particularly the wonderful "Let Me Go" and "Come Live With Me", but it was way too patchy. Plus "Tempation" is their most overrated moment.

Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Thursday, 14 October 2004 01:23 (twenty-one years ago)

okay, because now i'm high i can write a serious list. in no order:

van morrison - astral weeks
united states of america - s/t
black sabbath - vol. 4
teh beatles - white album
teh dead c - whitehouse
pearls before swine - balaklava
rolling stones - sticky fingers
can - future days
miles davis - on the corner
godz - II
palace bros. - there is no one what will take care of you
ramones - s/t
husker du - new day rising
minutemen - double nickels on the dime
stevie wonder - innervisions
les rallizes denudes - live 77
lee perry & the upsetters - double seven

Helios Creed (orion), Thursday, 14 October 2004 01:43 (twenty-one years ago)

replace the ramones with codeine - frigid stars

Helios Creed (orion), Thursday, 14 October 2004 01:47 (twenty-one years ago)

I forgot David Hykes & the Harmonic Choir - Hearing Solar Winds! I'd typed it originally but must have accidentally deleted it when I was making my final revisions;)
