The N&G Top 500 Albums of All Time!!!

Not really feeling like doing write ups today but here’s 25-21. The only thing I’ll say is that I really struggled with where to place Stankonia because I didn’t want recency bias with the VMP pressing to affect its position, I probably erred on the side of caution and ranked it lower than where it would have typically gone. Also, these stupid Spotify vote stickers are really messing with my vibe.

Since we appear to be doing this slow reveal! Here's my #46-50. Semi NSFW?
46. Beastie Boys - Hello Nasty
47. Gorillaz - Gorillaz
48. Blonde Redhead - Misery is a butterfly
49. Broadcast - Work and Non Work
50. The Avalanches - Since I left you

Some notes on these (not going into depth will all these but these are fantastic albums)-
-Still need to pickup Hello Nasty on vinyl. It looks in great condition but believe me the CD is well worn by now.
-Obviously my top 50 is ever changing but I feel like Gorillaz should be higher on the list now. It is actually my favorite Dan The Automator produced album (even above Deltron 3030 / Dr Octagon) and my favorite Gorillaz album (yes above Demon Days & Plastic Beach) in general. Not to spoil what's probably not in my list and I love those albums.
-Broadcast's Work and Non Work is technically a compilation of their early EPs (yes i included compilations)

We only have 4 overlaps, though Iron Maiden and Father John Misty just missed the cut (ILYH is currently sitting at #52 on my Top 100 list). I’m sure @Joe Mac can relate!

Happy to see OTC, reminds me I should revisit that album.
