I'm pretty sure a thread like this wasn't made (used the search tool, yay for me!) so if there is, be gentle with me :P
So yeah, what the title says? I'm interested how different and how similar we are with our taste in music. So here we go!
You Forgot It In People
The Arcade Fire - Funeral
Bright Eyes - I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning
The Decemberists - Picaresque
Iron & Wine - Our Endless Numbered Days

The Postal Service - Give Up
The Shins - Chutes Too Narrow
Stars - Set Yourself On Fire[/list:u]
-
There was a thread of top twenty albums, or maybe twenty five, a little while ago. Try searching for that.
-
Points for effort, though. That thread was a few months ago now so it will have sunk into the depths of the forum, plus it's hard to use the search function unless you know precisely what you're looking for and what to type in to the relevant fields.

Voila.
-
Still probably a decent enough margin of time to resurrect it with a fresh thread, I would think.
-
Sounds reasonable.
-
it always boggles my mind when people list their "favorite albums of ALL TIME" and they are all from within the past two or three years.

that's just off the top of my head. I'm sure if I had to come up with a definitive list of like 10, I'd have a few that aren't even on there, but I am just momentarily forgetting.

So? I'm constantly getting into albums that came out years ago, and I'm just now hearing.
Tell me some bands you like now, and I'll tell you something old you should look into. Old music is not inherently better, BUT if somehting is still remembered and praised over 10 years after it came out, then that is a pretty strong indicator of quality. Yeah, I really dig the new Sleater-Kinney album, but I have no idea if ti will be in regular rotation in my listening habits 2 years from now.
-

So many Pitchfork 8+ albums from the last 3 years. Why am I really not surprised?
-
Because you're psychic?
-
Apart from hearing about how much pitchfork sucks at reviewing, I haven't seen, read, heard, or been around any pitchfork...except real pitchforks, which I use for pitching.
-
:Of The Wand And The Moon: - EmptinessEmptinessEmptiness
oh I have actually heard his Lucifer record, though I didn't like it(somewhat boring), I think what Kim Larsen is doing is quite commendable and he must be the only notable neofolk(or whatever it's called) artist we have in Denmark..
-
I normally hyphenate (Neo-Folk) but yahr. OTWATM are probably actually my favourite neo-folk band, and certainly the best in Denmark, unless you extended your definition of neo-folk to cover Wuthering Heights.
So many Pitchfork 8+ albums from the last 3 years. Why am I really not surprised?
Does the fact that Pitchfork wouldn't touch a single album in my list with a barge-pole mean I win the interweb? I think it does personally. I'm going to have a party to celebrate. I have Vodka and cookies!

-
Captain Beefheart And His Magic Band - TROUT MASK REPLICA
That album is fucking ACE.
-
Captain Beefheart And His Magic Band - TROUT MASK REPLICA
That album is fucking ACE.
I loved it from the first listen. I don't even think it's that "difficult" at all, it's just really cool. Brilliantly-written lyrics, fantastically unpredictable musicianship, and with a sense of humour I very much dig.
-
And you have Einstürzende Neubauten...I think I'm gonna cry tears of joy :)
-
Does the fact that Pitchfork wouldn't touch a single album in my list with a barge-pole mean I win the interweb?
Yes.
-
Awesome.
-
Tom Waits - Blue Valentines/Bone Machine
Tom Waits being a badass is the only thing that my father and I have agreed on since I was 15 years old.
I'm also pleasantly suprised to hear people list Elliot Smith and Einsturzende Neubauten
-

-
20 in no order with no forthought so they may not actually represent my top 20 anyways...:
Fishbone - Chim Chim's Badass Revenge
I'm glad to see Fishbone on aanyone's list, but that's is hands down, their worst album.
-
I love chim chim's badass revenge!
Fuck you!
Face!
Ok, fine, "If You Give a Monkey A Brain, He'll Swear he's the Center of the Universe" is better. But still, fuck you man.
*EDIT* Btw, I did say no forethought, so yeah.
-
The only problem with these lists is that it's just a bunch of name-dropping. I think it'd be much better to pick two or three of your favorite albums, and then explain why. But for now I'll just list a few.
Radiohead - Kid A, Ok Computer, Hail to the Thief
Sufjan Stevens - Illinois, Seven Swans, Greetings from Michigan, A Sun Came
Bloc Party - Silent Alarm
Andrew Bird - The Mysterious Production of Eggs
Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works
Brian Eno - Ambient One: Music for Airports
Brian Eno - Ambient Two: The Plateaux of Mirror
Brian Eno - Ambient Four: On Land
Pedro the Lion - Control
Pedro the Lion - Winners Never Quit
Elliott Smith - XO
Elliott Smith - Figure 8
Elliott Smith - From a Basement on the Hill
(pretty much anything Elliott Smith has written)
As for the whole Pitchfork thing, I stopped reading Pitchfork after reading their reviews of Pedro the Lion, and in the Bloc Party - Silent Alarm review, they flat out said something along the lines of "Well it doesn't actually matter what the music sounds like..," at which point I found them a little too ridiculous. They also tend to be blatantly wrong about Hip Hop and electronic music. I now only read them for their news and tour dates.

Bob Marley - Legend

Desert Sessions 1+2
Sleep - Dopesmoker (give these guys credit. It's only one song but still an hour long. It's the holy grail of stoner rock, or would be if Kyuss didn't exist)
Even with the rampant artist repeats, I feel like I cheated the hell out of Kyuss, QOTSA, Mark Lanegan, and Masters of Reality (their live albums are superb). Mark Lanegan has FIVE albums I didn't even list, and every one is amazing. I should also devote more listening time to PJ Harvey, so that I can rave about her other albums.

Khar, if you can't stand the way pitchfork snubs metal most of the time and then fellates alterna metal acts like mastadon, you should check out dusted. They're an online indie rag that actually gives a nod to real metal on occasion.

Really in no specific order
Bruce Springsteen-Nebraska
Bruce Springsteen- Greetings from asbury park
Bruce Springsteen- Live 1975-1985
Bruce Springsteen- Born to run
The Mountain Goats-all hail west texas!
Against Me!- as the eternal cowboy
Jay-z- Reasonable Doubt
Atmosphere- Lucy ford ep's
Greenday- warning
Bright Eyes- i'm wide awake,its morning
The Ataris- End is forever. (used to be my favorite album...but after the horrendusness of so long,astoria it fell.hard.but i hear their new album is supposed to a huuuuuge step in a different direction)
Glassjaw- Worship and tribute
bad astronaut-acrophobe
Glassjaw- everything you ever wanted to know about silence
30footFALL- acme 143
30footFALL- ever revolving,never evolving
-
Against Me!'s As the Eternal Cowboy will probably be a classic when I've listened to it long enough. It's really good.
I think I'm Wide Awake It's Morning is the least of Bright Eye's albums. Lifted has got to be his best, in my opinion.
-
Yeah, I really like lifted aswell. But I love it when people strip down to more straight forward acoustic stuff. Thats also why "Nebraska" is my favorite Springsteen album.
Aloooot of people didnt like the eternal cowboy when it came out, but I loved it as soon as I heard the first song. Against me is probably the best live band i've ever seen, its like 120 pounds of energy in a 30 pound bag. Cant wait to see them come through here in november.
-
I heard some Against Me! and thought it was kind of boring, and then I saw them open (I think it was) for the Blood Brothers, and man, they have so much fucking energy live. I want a live album of theirs so bad. I want to see them the next time they are in my area.
-
yeah, I saw their headlinging tour a couple months ago. It was the most energy i've ever witnessed. It was like a musical soul clensing thing. they made me forget about EVERYTHING for two hours.
They're goin on tour this novemeber, you should check and see if they're comin through your town yo.
-
I live in So Cal, so I'm pretty sure they will or at least within driving distance. B-)
One of the few benefits of being surrounded by a million bazillion people.

Lucky. Houston gets jiped quite often for shows. Alot of people go to Austin or dallas, but just figure Houston doesnt care about them.
I had to drive to dallas to see springsteen last year, but thats the only time i'll probably ever drive to another city to see a artist. YOu live in california, so you probably know how it is. Because when i talk to people up north they dont see a problem driving to a diff state to see someone, they dont realize how big texas is hah.

You heard GYBE's "Lift Yr. Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven!" album? If you did is F#A#oo still better?
In my opinion yes, much. F#A#oo has better soundbytes like the preacher and the apocalypse of dead flag blues and the singing in the middle of Providence. East Hastings, from 6:00 to 12:00 is the most incredible six minutes of music I feel GY!BE ever produced - overall, there was something that felt too uniform and too repetitive about Skinny Fists which F#A#oo could not be accused of. I may be biased because East Hastings was the first GY!BE I ever heard and I still don't think any of the rest has topped it (and I've heard everything but a little of Yanqui XUO).

Cool, I like what I hear. I'm going to check this album out!

I heard some Against Me! and thought it was kind of boring, and then I saw them open (I think it was) for the Blood Brothers, and man, they have so much fucking energy live. I want a live album of theirs so bad. I want to see them the next time they are in my area.
name dropping time... I saw Against Me!'s first two shows they ever played in Gainesville. I don't think I've ever heard it mentioned anywhere, but they actually started in Naples, FL. It was in early 2000, and they were only two people, and all acoustic. I thought they were really interesting, but not really very good. I wanted to hear them recorded, but I didn't buy a demo tape because I never listened to cassettes. DURRRR- I could probably get $100 on eBay for that thing now.
Anyway, I didn't hear anything about them at all for two years, then "Axl Rose" and suddenly they were popular and amazing.

Really hope I didn't miss anything, especially after a list that big, but I'm sure there are some albums that I'll be thinking "How did I forget about THAT!?"
-
Alright, time to put my money where my mouth is.
These are albums I'd claim have had the most influence on me. They are not all particularly well-respected in the indie community, but really, fuck that. Influence is influence. Taste and influence are entirely seperate entities.
Nirvana - In Utero
Soundgarden - Superunknown
Dead Kennedys - Give Me Convenience or Give Me Death
The Who - Who's Next
Pink Floyd - Animals
Frontline Assembly - FLAvour of the Weak
At the Drive In - Relationship of Command
Les Savy Fav - The Cat and the Cobra
Jawbreaker - 24 Hour Revenge Therapy
Jimi Hendrix Experience - Are You Experienced?
Velvet Underground - Velvet Underground and Nico
The Mars Volta - Tremulant
The Beatles - Abbey Road
Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin
The Pixies - Surfer Rosa
Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral
Pink Floyd - Piper at the Gates of Dawn
Radiohead - OK Computer
Black Sabbath - Paranoid
Meat Puppets - Meat Puppets II
Monster Magnet - Dopes to Infinity
King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King
These are the albums that have really had an effect on my musical tastes and looking back, on the style my music has taken. Most of these I listened to religiously starting at least several years ago, and as long ago as 9 or 10 years ago (longer for Pink Floyd, Led Zepp, Beatles, and Nirvana). There are newer albums that I like more now, and older albums by older bands that I have come to appreciate in the last couple of years, but my favorite albums chance on really a weekly basis, so that's not really a reasonable standard. So, this stands as my list of albums. Whether or not they are the "seminal work" of a band isn't really relevant, as is whether or not they are indeed "great" albums. Some of them I haven't even listened to in ages (e.g. Nirvana, Meat Puppets...I don't think I've spun either of those CDs in over a year), but that also is irrelevant.
-
Well...if we're talking influential, let's go back a bit and trace the ol' musical roots:
Growing Up - 1975 - 1988
The Beatles, The Lovin' Spoonful, Led Zepplin, Emerson Lake and Palmer, Billy Idol, Bruce Springsteen - These were the things that were usually on in the background during my formative years.
U2 - October to Zooropa - The Joshua Tree was the first actual album I personally owned, although my mom had most of their earlier stuff on tape (CD players were still damn expensive back then). After Zooropa left a bad taste in my mouth (largely due to other events that were happening in my life at the time). I pretty much stopped listening.
The (Mostly) Metal Years - (1989-1992)
Metallica - Master of Puppets: I swear this must be the required fucking soundtrack for every comic book store in existence. I don't think I've ever walked into one that didn't have this album playing at some point. Anyways, I got hooked on it.
Anthrax - Persistence of Time: I almost burned a hole through this album I played it so many times. "Belly of the Beast" is still a kickass track.
The Cure - The Head In The Door, Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Disintegration: Really. Even when I was a big honkin' metalhead back in the late 80's/early 90's I was still unbelievably affected by the music of The Cure.
Slayer - Seasons in the Abyss: I actually never owned this album, although I did hear most of it, along with Reign In Blood performed live during the Clash of the Titans tour. They almost completely won me over.
Cannibal Corpse - Butchered at Birth: Terrible. I listened to this only because I knew it would annoy the hell out of my sister. It's like people listening to King Diamond. Does anyone really like him?
Soundgarden - Badmotorfinger: Late at night on MTV, long before they banned the video because they're MTV and for some reason the idea of a crucified Terminator was offensive to them, I saw this and went out the next day and bought the album. Instantly hooked.
1992-1993 - Transition
Alice In Chains - Dirt: I should really say Facelift here, since that's how I got introduced to the band, but frankly, Dirt is a much better album.
Faith No More - Angel Dust: Again, I should really say The Real Thing here but Angel Dust is a much better Album.
Nirvana - Bleach: I liked Nevermind. Everyone who was a teenager at all in the early nineties owned a copy of Nevermind. I owned a copy of Bleach. Go Figure. Their cover of Love Buzz is still tops.
Primus - Sailing the Seas of Cheese: Ah, the brilliant bass work of Les Claypool! The intrinsic drumming of Tim "Herb" Alexander! The, um...capable guitar playing of Larry LaLonde!"
1993-1995
Sonic Youth - Dirty: This wasn't even an album of theirs that I owned. I actually owned Goo and Daydream, but this sticks out in my head because this tour was the first time I saw them. It's also the first time I was introduced to -
The Boredoms - Pop Tatari: Every single one of my friends never understood why I liked this album. In a way, I feel sorry for them.
Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream: I owned Gish. I liked Gish. Musically this was light years beyond Gish. Mayonnaise. Need I say more?
Lush - Gala: They were one of the few bands I liked that I never had the chance to see live. My best friend and I were at Lollapalooza '92 and arrived just after their set. I believe this was the Spooky tour. The things we miss.
Digable Planets - Reachin': They redefined hip hop for me with this album. This album is, to me, the soundtrack of New York City in the mid-90's.
A Tribe Called Quest - Midnight Marauders: This really showcased the brilliance of Tribe, and gave us "Award Tour." Can't go wrong.
Orbital - Orbital I: Belfast is still one of the most beautiful songs ever produced period.
Moving Forward:
1993-1995 - Evolving
Bjork - Post: This album got me hooked, back when she was still fun and poppy and not eccentric and weird. This also ranks as one of my Top 5 concerts of all time. The only other group I've ever seen that matches her energy on stage from this era are The Go! Team.
Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works Vol. 2/The Ventolin Remixes: Both of these were instrumental (no pun intended) in developing my love for electronic music. Track 1 still calms me down, even though they used it in a Fruitopia commercial.
Bad Boy Bill - Bangin' The Box Vol. 1 - You know those albums you're embarrassed you used to own?
Simply Jeff - Live at Plastic - I must've ruined the magnetic strips on this tape.
Dieselboy - Witness The Strength - The first Drum & Bass mix I owned and the first DJ who got me to enjoy it.
Metalheadz presents - Platinum Breakz: There were just too damn many classic tracks on this compilation. Solid, but still not quite as good as:
LTJ Bukem Presents - Logical Progression: THis was pretty much it for me. In addition to having an early version of the Photek classic "Rings Around Saturn," it also included the excellent vocal mix of "The Western" and "Horizons." Although I think overall that Blame, Seba and DRS are better producers, DJ's and MCs respectively, This comp. really hooked me on the sound.
Photek - Modus Operandi: Rupert Parkes, when he wants to, makes the sickest beats in the unverse, hands down.
1995-2000 - Evolution II
Portishead - Dummy: Yeah. I don't think I even need to explain why this album is brilliant. If only they'd get their shit together and put out that third album they've been promising for the past three years.
Massive Attack - Protection: I'm infatuated with the sound of Tracy Thorn's voice.
Everything But The Girl: Walking Wounded: See above. Plus the Omni Trio remix is aces.
DJ Andy Smith - The Document: Anyone who can flawlessly mix Jeru The Damaja, Tom Jones, Grandmaster Flash, Barry White and Steve Winwood into one mix and make it sound good deserves your undying respect.
The Herbalizer - Very Mercenary: Blow Your Headphones got people's attention, but this album stepped up their game. "The Missing Suitcase," "Wall Crawling Giant Insect Breaks" and "Starlight are all favorites.
The Roots - Illadelph Halflife: Their best album. I don't know what they're doing lately but with the departure of a few key members I don't think that they can recapture the perfection that they acheived on this album.
Reprazent - New Forms: If only their first album wasn't so damn good, I don't think In The Mode would've been so disappointing. Even the solo work by the four individual members outshined the sequal to this album. Still, it stands the test of time.
DJ Krush & Toshinori Kondo - Ki-Oku: another brilliant combination. This album is, in my opinion, what Acid Jazz should always be.
Aril Brikha - Deeparture In Time: This album really got me into deeper techno. Most people will cite "Groove La Chord" as a favorite. For me it was always "Setting Sun."
Jesper Dahlback - Stockholm Mix Sessions 1: For deep house mixes (and deep house in general) you can't beat Svek.

Immensely. Chris Barnes can go suck a chuff, however. CC are hugely boring. Six Feet Under more so.

I don't know if i really have a favorite.. i listen to music nearly all day, and thats alot of stuff i've heard one or two songs off an album, but havn't had the opertunity to purchase and listen to the whole album...

You prefer it to Clear Hearts Grey Flowers? I admit it's got charm (C-C-C-CALL ME A CUMDUMPSTER! C-C-C-CALL ME A CUNT!) but I've always considered CHGF to top it.
No faulting any of the others on a band by band basis. Fear Factory's always a hard one for me, choosing between Obsolete, Demanufacture and Concrete.
But, well, bring on the edgecrusher!

An addition to my list (on page 1 if you really want to read it)
How The West Was Won (disks 1-3) by Led Zeppelin
most of Nevermind by Nirvana

I didn't put the Skatallites becuase in all honesty, I've never really gotten around to listening to them. Though I did see them live with Bunny Wailer (last living Wailer) at last years reggae fest. Speakings of... THIS YEAR'S ONE IS ON SUNDAY AND I'M GOINGGGGGGG[/severe excitement]
No seriously though it's gonna kick ass!
http://www.hollywoodbowl.com/tix/performance_detail.cfm?id=2245&back=%2Ftix%2Fseries%5Fworld%2Ecfm%3B
Scroll down to Artists and prepare to be awesomed. Unfortunately, that Israel whatever band replaced Desmond Decker. Besides that sucking, I don't care because I get to see Hepcat AND Maxi Priest in one night. Ok, now that you know 3 of the 4 people playing, don't even bother clicking the link. The Israel whatever and other band don't even really matter. HEPCAT AND MAXI PRIEST! ORGASM!
-
genius/gza - liquid swords (yeah, i like this better than 36 chambers.)
evol intent - live at rotterdam nighttown (not really an album, but i listen to it all the time.)
1. The number of people who totally diss that album is incredible. I'm not sure I'd say it's better than 36 Chambers, but it's a close, close second. And yet most people I speak to think it's a mess. I guess I live with a bunch of philistines.
2. Any idea where I get a copy of that set?

It's Edge Crusher that pushed it for me on the Fear Factory front, that just kicks multiple ass! tho Demanufacture is a kick ass album too, and even Digimortal is good to listen to.
SD&S was the first JoJ album i heard, so maybe i'm biased, but i can hardly fault any JoJ song i've listened to, so CHGF could be on a par with it
-
I just think they put more variety into the song-writing on CHGF, cool touches like the intro to When I am Queen for instance. But yes, for what they are, JoJ are pretty much perfect. I certainly <3 them.
