Swad Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 Since we've got a pretty eclectic group here, I'm curious to see what ya'll think... What are the top 5 greatest music albums of all time? (And by greatest, I mean most influential, most musically creative, etc. All of those are a factor) My list: 1. "Revolver" - The Beatles 2. "Pet Sounds" - The Beach Boys (1 and 2 are pretty close, and they both had a lot of influence on each other. 1966-67 was modern music's most creative period, in my opinion!) 3. "Dark Side of the Moon" - Pink Floyd 4. "Kind of Blue" - Miles Davis 5. "The Joshua Tree" - U2 What say you?

Metrogirl Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Any of the Beatles must rate as the top albums of all time. I have them all... Also have lots of Floyd, U2 and a bunch of weird stuff you'd probably hate... Joni Mitchell is there, Norah Jones, Bonnie Rait, Pentangle, Steeleye Span, James Taylor. I have or know something by most of the bands quoted so far in this thread. Mash- I'd vote for any of your choice, love them all. For me the only album I would choose over all others is Faure's Requiem (David Wilcox version) but that's clearly not going to be either 'greatest of all time' or many others' taste. Interesting that there is some congruity here ... are OSx86 people like-minded?

Swad Posted January 27, 2006 Author Share Posted January 27, 2006 Those are some good albums Utopian - good call on Velvet Underground and Iron & Wine. Not sure if those go down as the greatest albums of all time, but they are good! VU has also become more influential as time goes on.

DrJägermeister Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Yeah, Velvet Underground was great Junkie Music. Heroin is one of the greatest song from them.

Mr. Bond Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Hmm...this is going to be tough. Suprised it hasn't turned into a flame-fest! Both favourites, and great... 1. Pink Floyd - Dark Side of The Moon 2. A Farewell to Kings - Rush 3. Led Zeppelin II - Led Zeppelin 4. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - The Beatles 5. Definetely Maybe - Oasis Other than that...really anything Rush/Zeppelin/Floyd...If I could go longer I would've had to throw some more Beatles, U2, The Who...a bit of Radiohead....

Urbz Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Not to sound rude or start any sort of debate, but why is modern music never considered to be of any value? I don't find it fair. So many songs of today are creative and flat out cool. Why are yesterday's songs the only ones to be critically acclaimed?

Mr. Bond Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Not to sound rude or start any sort of debate,but why is modern music never considered to be of any value? I don't find it fair. So many songs of today are creative and flat out cool. Why are yesterday's songs the only ones to be critically acclaimed? I was waiting for someone to mention that! And it's true...most people consider older albums to be more critically aclaimed and influential then newer stuff. In my opinon, older albums are given time to grow, and influenced alot of today's great artists. In that way, we see them as great I gues, because they helped form the sounds of today... That's why it makes me laugh when people like the NME go and rate the Arctic Monkey's debut album as one of the top 5 greatest albums of all time... I have no clue If what I just said made any remote sense... Psssh, so some of you have a few good points, but you've all missed the true greatest album of all time: The Clash - London Calling So true sHARD....good call.
