Which album? Iām assuming Rumours. LolI was expecting 30 prince, 15 Bowie and 5 growling ones
BTW we only have one album in common in our top 50s! CRWX diversity!
The N&G Top 500 Albums of All Time!!!
- Thread starter Woob_woob
- Start date
This just speaks to the overall diversity of all of us on the board as music lovers and fans! I love that.
Iāll guess the Wu!
Iām curious to see your list, BearFriend. Especially if some of mine almost made yours as well.

TL;DR: Iām in.
Stumbled on this thread looking for the N&G reactions to the passing of Eddie Van Halen.
I guess Iām not surprised by the lack of discourse on the subject in the threads (meanwhile I expect the servers to melt the unfortunate day that Mr. T Yorke passes).
Anyway, Iāll go back and read the previous 32 pages to make sure my contribution is properly considered and in the right format.

Having read the past 32 pages...
Iām going to start from memory. No looking at my collection, Spotify or any lists. The majority of the list should be the albums that come to mind first. Then Iāll consider the more weighty issues bandied about in the previous pages, with the goal to be...
This is definitely going to take a little time.

I have 3 albums in common with you: Funkadelic, Wu-Tang, and Fleetwood Mac. Great list!As stated on page 14 (and numerous other pages) the Law of @Englishbob is in effect for me. So hereās my list!
Yes, yes...I dmād Woob too. Leave me alone, Mom! Get out of my room when Iām listening to my music.....GODS!
My list is made up of my absolute favorite enjoyable albums of all time. To be considered the album had to be a record I could sit down and listen to in its entirety, at any given time, and be completely satisfied with how I spent my time. I fully expect to get thrashed for my āimpeccableā taste.

would've maaaaaaaybe snuck in a top 100 with zero artist repeats...and feel lesser now for having just discovered this meme
Not a chance, that album is impenetrable for me.
On a different note, I learned a few things over the past few days:
- Thank Your Lucky Stars is my favorite Beach House album
- PJ Harveyās Let England Shake is a timeless masterpiece and is absolutely making my list
- Garbageās Version 2.0 will never stop slapping
Iāve made some progress but my list is not ready yet. Over the last couple of days Iāve been working on (I thought) slots 46-50, but a few albums that were previously outside the top 50 have leapfrogged some of my locks.
Right now, itās looking like I will have 4-5 artists with multiples. Interestingly (to me, at least) a few of those I would NOT consider to be among my favorite artists ever; they just happen to have a couple of albums that I love.
After years making lists with a ā1-per-artistā limit, this feels oddly liberating. One of my favorite bands will end up taking at least 3, probably 4 slots.
In case anyone likes lists as much as me and also is deeply interested in my musical tastes, here's some more info on my top 100 without revealing the actual albums.
