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 ..

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

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

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.
― Josh in Chicago, Sunday, 27 January 2013 14:20 (twelve years ago)
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.

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.

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.
― Sir Lord Baltimora (Myonga Vön Bontee), Monday, 28 January 2013 22:41 (twelve years ago)
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.
― earlnash, Monday, 28 January 2013 23:53 (twelve years ago)
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.

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.
― Deafening silence (DL), Tuesday, 29 January 2013 10:52 (twelve years ago)
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.

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.
