Just send me a list 1-50 any way and you will be good. No need to list the points, ill get that all tallied up.I just want to make sure of this before I do my list. The list we are giving @Woob_woob will be just, copy pasted or is it on something fancy like excel? Because I don't have a computer so that last one may be tough lol.... Oh, also, should I add the points next to the album/position or that will be tallied later?
I'm going to start soon on this, expect a few oddballs from me and some Japanese albums too. I'm limiting myself to 2 albums per artist, so to have variety and not be a top 15 where almost half is radiohead or Cafe Tacvba
The N&G Top 500 Albums of All Time!!!

I know what number 2 and 5 is. But not number 9... number 9, number 9, number 9...
Actually I do think I know what number 9 is too

My list is shaping up to be a pretty healthy mix of older and newer stuff, which I'm happy with. I only started really seriously listening to music about a decade or so ago, so I've been listening to albums that came out in 2010 for just as long as I've been listening to albums that came out in 1970. My #1 is from 2012, and I'd bet an obscene amount of money that it won't be in anyone else's top 10 (it's not exactly a super obscure album, but it wasn't very well-received by many outside of the band's fanbase)
Actually, writing this comment got me curious, so here's the decade breakdown of my (VERY TENATIVE) list:
60s: 2
70s: 15
80s: 2
90s: 6
00s: 13
10s: 12
So, literally half 20th century and half 21st century lol. God damn the 70s were stackeddd

Sadly I don'thaha that one goes over my head
.
It’s more describing the artist who wasn’t constrained by such trivial things as genre and famously reinvented a new persona every few years. I suppose I could have used pop/glam/rock/ambient but I thought this was more fun.

Bowie definitely came to mind but I hadn't heard him referred to as that before haha thanks!
I'm trying this out. It's so hard. I downloaded my Discogs collection / wantlist - got rid of the dupes but that might be a mistaken approach. How do you get >1K into 50? At first I was going 1 by 1 but now I'm just chopping down albums I love like a madman.
I'm running into some issues where I'm thinking this album was so important to me during a period of my life so it belongs in the list. But i'm fighting with my current self in that these other albums are so much better to me now. I've been slowly chipping away the last few days but i'm down to about 200.

I understand that @Corycm has Tabakin as entries 1-10. I'm not sure that's legal.
You mean most people don’t have a running list of their favorite albums on their phone?

I've decided I'm weird! Its come to light that I dont really have favorites anymore. Just albums that I listen to and those I don't. Compiling a list sounded like a good idea until I tried it. I will submit a 50 list I think but ranking it is futile.
I probably will in a few days lol

Wooh Dang is in my top 50. It's so, so beautiful. Never would have known about it if not for VMP.

How many of your top 50 albums do you have on vinyl?
With how my list is looking right now, I'm at 46/50 - one has never had an official release, one goes for stupid high prices on Discogs (Cheapest one available is $250 right now), and two I just somehow haven't gotten around to getting yet.

I don’t want to, but I am going to limit my list to only a single Album by an artist. There were way too many albums that fell off the list when 3-4 Beatles, stones, Bowie albums start grabbing real estate. I still have albums that I am hung up on not making the 50. This is painful

I have a shortlist in my head of albums I know are going on the list no matter what, but sometime soon I'm planning on manually going through my entire record collection and cataloging as I go albums that are in contention for the list... I imagine that will likely get me to 50 pretty fast but at the same time I'm sure there are albums I love that either are not on vinyl, are too rare on vinyl, or that I just have neglected to get yet... that's where it will get tricky and I will really need to try to be thorough in covering my bases, because I don't want to accidentally leave an album off just because I forgot about it because I don't own it physically. As for only including one album per artist on my list... yeah there's just no way that's going to be feasible for me
I also wrestle with what I should and shouldn't include... on one level, it feels strange to include an album that's only a year or two old on my ALL-TIME list, but I also want to try to be honest and go with the albums that have made a personal impact on me. I think I'll just have to accept that my list will skew more recent just because I'm one of the babies of the forum, get over it, and just go full speed ahead no fucks given. This should be interesting either way
