How many of these 'influential' albums do you own?

http://www.influentialalbums.com/

Wtf says clap your hands say yeah is influential? wtf is the rap/funk/jazz/techno etc? (my score may have been higher then)

but now that's out the way

oh and there was no sabbath on it which was really wtf

I did that, but it got stuck processing my results graphic. I had 90/100.

Not on facebook I won't.

Post a list?

you are under the influence

johnny fever wins

45/100.

some of the selections made me chuckle.

and yes, the clap your hands .. was a little 'huh !?', and i love that album.

then again, maybe it was down the whole word of mouth of a "self released album that broke through post p-fork love" thing that they meant by influential ..

johnny fever wins

Nah, I'm just a hoarder.

Just imagine ILM trying to agree on 100 influential albums mind you

oh totally.
i'd score 7 ..

yeah I don't do FB either but hey if somebody wants to post a list I will try it.

not sure there's a way to post the list but you could console yourself with this other one

24/100. totally absurd cross section of albums befitting someone who throws around the word "influential" loosely to mean "i like this."

yeah i wish there had been a version with a really good list

ehhh. you could do this with any boring magazine "100 greatest albums" list i guess. it's not like anyone's "score" means anything.

lol delgados?

true. but it would be nice if it could be done with an actual good list rather than as you say a boring magazines list

my score only reflects the £3 offers on @ fopp.

43/100.

Pleased to see The Chameleons and The Go-Betweens in there... my favourite Go-Betweens album, too!

49/100.

RIP Brubeck and all, but ffs, when Brubeck is on a list and Miles isn't, fuck said list.

16

lol

I can't get the page to load properly for some reason. Is there a further URL to get to the list or something? Not sure what's going on there, tried refreshing several times too, only seeing maybe 7lps with no ability to scroll either sideways or up and down. Is that my computer?

i dont share shit on facebook so fuck this

I uninstalled the app straight after I did it, and unchecked the sharing box. I only share shit with my toilet.

tmi

61/100 and it crashed my browser twice.

thats flash for you

i could not get it to work in chrome, had to fall back on ie ...
maybe thats the root cause for peoples problems ?

Embarrassed that some of them were albums I bought on recommendation then regretted, like Smashing Pumpkins and Big Star

big n rich arent on there

right, wondered if it was the browser, but haven't checked another yet. i'm on Chrome too.

61%, finally managed to get it to work in Firefox which I hadn't used in ages.

69. With is always the best score out of 100. No Kate Bush, PJ Harvey, Sly Stone, Funkadelic, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, etc etc etc. but CLAP YOUR HANDS SAY YEAH, wtf?!

& rarest lps were Bert jansch s/t, Slint Spiderland and Pretty Things, S.F.Sorrow

out of mine anyway, sorry should have edited that with the other post.

69 !
bravo sick ..
no congos. no specials. etc.
its a list to make ilm regulars choke on their cornflakes ..
but so what .. tis lightweight fb bollox ..

no foetus ;)

I love how at the end it asked me if I want to buy the Donovan, Gerry Rafferty and I Am Kloot, lol.

I'd imagine an ILM version would have to be 1,000 deep to please everyone!

nothing could please ilmers

honestly the arguments would be worse than this!

No Anal Corpse Riot, no credibility.

would sufjan make it?

I hope not.

a thing where i look at a list of 100 arbitrarily chosen albums and then click boxes i cannot click fast enough want to click boxes

boxess

I think I've heard 15 of these? Lol at Time Out being the only jazz album, among other things.

Got 55 based on what I have had in the past, have sold at least 40 of them.

Was it my imagination, or was there no Who on there?

No lots of things

Anyone done this yet that got a score of 0?

I got like 30%. However I grew deeply suspicious of the list when I got to Gerry Rafferty's City to City

I meant to delete the Fall album...The Fall are obviously very influential, but wouldn't they be better represented by something earlier?

yeah, i think that hex enduction hour would be the better Fall representative.

37 for me. I like that they included Stormcock, though they probably shouldn't have.

24 plus another 4 or 5 I used to own.

What a weird-ass list. Hit 89, but some of this stuff ... why are they here? The Cream record? That one Joni Mitchell or Tim Buckley disc? A couple of other totally random choices, like the first Elliott Smith record? Just weird.

A recurring problem on that list--besides, you know, the list itself--is that later albums are picked for people who might reasonably be included on the basis of earlier albums. I could see a case for the first Cream album: invented the "supergroup" (I think), invented the "power trio" (I think), etc. I could certainly see a case for any Joni album up to and (especially) including Blue. But I can't see that these later albums--good, great, or otherwise--actually influence much.

loads

not the shit ones though

Oh this. Shit, I spent about 2 minutes on facebook doing this and ended up getting hacked off with it.

didn't you score 99?

i dunno, it didn't work on my iphone and i switched it off once i realised how cack the choices were.

I fee like this really shouldn't count unless you own it as a physical format, or paid for the download.

I only have about 38 of these, but I own all of them.

Of course it's highly skewed toward indie/collegiate taste (like much of ILX). No Sabbath, no credibility.

*feel

Currently gots 57 (have owned 65 but got rid of eight that I hate)

Thing I like most about that list: Absence of the word "most"

58 on CD + 15 on vinyl + 9 as mp3s (but used to own the CD) = 82

oh, you should post the 8 u h8 xp

Bloc Party - Silent Alarm

^ i had this for less than 24 hours and then it went straight back to the shop. it influenced me never to listen to bloc party again

xpost - they're all from the '90s or later! Actually, it's less that I HATED them, more just "I'm old & bored & too lazy to play these more than two or three times to see if they'll grow on me - too lazy, indeed, to do anything other than dismiss them and proclaim hatred." From memory: Jeff Buckley, Spiritualized, Primal Scream, Radiohead, Arcade Fire, Pumpkins and a couple more I forget.

I still got 52 off the list as CDs. There are about 6 more that I had at one point and the CD's dissapeared over the years. There are 3 others that I have on vinyl LP in boxes that haven't been opened in over a decade.

93/100 - 4 of the remaining i am familiar with, but have no interest -- 2 more i actually do have interest in, and 1 i've never heard of.

Why no Peter Green-era Fleetwood Mac? Seeing Oasis on any of these-type lists is always a disappointment. Cocteau Twins album choice should have been Victorialand.

Isn't this a more accurate list?

At least there's an attempt at an explanation.

Whole thing is a 'likejacking' scam I guess? Like, you fill this out and a few weeks later it's 'Jane Doe likes Union Carbide ; share, like, or comment'

Every single one of my friends who have done this on Facebook have Souvlaki listed as their most obscure album leading me to conclude that either it's not that obscure or that I hang out with a ton of corny indie fuxxors.

One i didn't have..

last one on the list that i actually listened to

(this morning in the bath)

75, but what a schmindie list. Embarrassingly obvious Token Black Music picks. Jimi, Stevie, Marvin, PE and that's it. Thanks for your contribution, black music! Wish we could have had more of you but we had to make room for The Wedding Present and I Am Kloot.

That's weird. I saw on facebook that my mum did this, and along with Revolver she had Souvlaki listed. There is not a fucking chance she has that record or has ever heard any similar music or even the word Slowdive in her life. I assumed she was trying to look cool.

Maybe she remembered you had it

Impossible.

Perhaps the whole thing is guerrilla marketing by Slowdive.

who were worse than Hitler iirc

must have missed his shoejackbootgaze period

I own exactly 2 of these, Time Out and What's Going On. (The former I love, but the latter isn't among my favourite soul albums, I probably wouldn't own it if a friend hadn't given it to me for free.) However, 95% of the stuff on the list is rock music, and I don't listen to rock, so this result is not surprising.

What is the most obscure album you had Tuomas?

My score was 80. Shame on me.

haha same as me

A paltry 65, but I do own them all physically. The Felt record and Script of the Bridge were my "rarities"...

Struggling to think of any publication, however white-guy-centric, that would omit Prince, Michael Jackson, Miles Davis, James Brown, Sly Stone and all reggae ever. It makes Uncut look like The Source.

My "rarities" were Peloton, Stormcock and Script Of The Bridge. All of which were bought from high street chainstores.

It's nicely coincidental, given Roy Harper is about to make a dramatic return to Then Play Long, but "rare"? Shurely not.

You would be good on Pointless.

If only I were a real Know-It-All like Alexander Armstrong or Philip Hensher, as opposed to Know-A-Lot-About-A-Bit.

So there's a newer more US-Centric version

95/100.

95/150, rather.

What was your rarest albums?

definitely, definitely not clicking on that again

Apparently there was a vote on twitter/fb to decide what albums got added this time.
So lots of people nominated Amy Winehouse,Michael Jackson, Grateful Dead, Police and The Kinks.
