this is so hard

― Bee OK, Thursday, 5 September 2013 01:41 (eleven years ago)

so it's 31 albums that made the cut and all of them are classic.

― Bee OK, Thursday, 5 September 2013 04:06 (eleven years ago)

ILM has impressive taste.

― Bee OK, Thursday, 5 September 2013 04:06 (eleven years ago)

i realize this isn't really ilm's fault, considering the original source lists, but this is depressing to me. 31 albums, six of them with a black frontman, one of them with a female at centerstage. women don't even get to be bridesmaids here!

THAT'S HOW WE LIKE IT

― iMacaroon dragoons (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 5 September 2013 07:52 (eleven years ago)

was there a winners poll?

― The Reverend, Thursday, 5 September 2013 08:08 (eleven years ago)

the odd one, i think

― iMacaroon dragoons (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 5 September 2013 08:10 (eleven years ago)

My top five would probably be

1. Curtis
2. Songs In The Key of Life
3. Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo!
4. Marquee Moon
5. Here Come the Warm Jets

Plenty of others up there too but these five would definitely make my top 100 albums of all time list.

― Kitchen Person, Thursday, 5 September 2013 08:48 (eleven years ago)

was there a winners poll?

coming next, first the runner ups.

― Bee OK, Thursday, 5 September 2013 15:27 (eleven years ago)

Why can't we just say they're all good and leave it at that?

"would definitely make my top 100 albums of all time list": Off the Wall, Some Girls, The Modern Dance, Never Mind the Bollocks, Station to Station, There's a Riot Goin' On

however, more often than not, the number one spot on that list would belong to Every Picture Tells a Story

― g simmel, Friday, 6 September 2013 09:14 (eleven years ago)

Bowie. Station To Station is a desert island disc.

― EZ Snappin, Friday, 6 September 2013 13:40 (eleven years ago)

well for me this is between Unknown Pleasures, Parallel Lines, Aja, Songs in the Key of Life, Blood on the Tracks, The Dark Side of the Moon and The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars.

― Bee OK, Saturday, 7 September 2013 03:02 (eleven years ago)

have to narrow it down to either Blondie or Steely Dan.

― Bee OK, Saturday, 7 September 2013 03:03 (eleven years ago)

Don't. Don't narrow it down. That's only one record. You need more than one. It won't be fun, trust me.

― glumdalclitch, Saturday, 7 September 2013 06:33 (eleven years ago)

Only thing that made sense to me was picking the one I've listened to most, which was Led Zepplin.

― (what was the purpose of that stupid costume) (DJP), Saturday, 7 September 2013 07:29 (eleven years ago)

Devo vs Cale vs Can.

Can win.

― emil.y, Saturday, 7 September 2013 07:39 (eleven years ago)

Stopped reading after London Calling

― kornrulez6969, Saturday, 7 September 2013 13:48 (eleven years ago)

can't believe it but voting for Parallel Lines. one of my all time favorites.

― Bee OK, Sunday, 8 September 2013 00:37 (eleven years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

― System, Monday, 9 September 2013 00:01 (eleven years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

― System, Tuesday, 10 September 2013 00:01 (eleven years ago)

i knew this thread would be lost as soon as fact checking cuz made his comment. still 50 votes but surprised that i was the only vote for Blondie.
