Rather than do a poll on this, I'm setting this up similar to one that's on Amazon. The way it works is that you list what you feel are the 5 greatest CDs of all time with the #1 getting 5 points, #2 getting 4, etc. down to the #5 getting 1 point. I will keep an ongoing tally to see which ones are the highest-ranked- the ClutchFans Hall of Fame of Recordings, so to speak. So, to start, here's my top 5 (some of which I'm sure will be at the bottom soon enough): Bruce Springsteen- Born to Run- 5 Marvin Gaye- What's Going On- 4 Van Morrison- Astral Weeks- 3 U2- Achtung Baby- 2 REM- Murmur- 1 Oh, I'm not a big fan on rules for stuff like this, but try to keep it to studio recordings as opposed to greatest hits compilations.
Michael Jackson - Thriller - 5 Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band - The Beatles - 4 Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited - 3 Hotel California - The Eagles - 2 The White Album - The Beatles - 1
my bloody valentine - loveless - 5 the beatles - revolver - 4 the rolling stones - exile on main street - 3 the cure - disintegration - 2 pixies - doolittle - 1
5. Metallica- Death Magnetic 4. Metallica- Metallica 3. Metallica- Ride the Lightning 2. Metallica- Master of Puppets 1. Metallica- ...And Justice For All
Here are my 5 greatest albums of all-time, not necessarily my favorites, but the ones that I feel have transcended time: 1 - Pink Floyd with Dark Side of the Moon (5 points) 2 - Radiohead with OK Computer (4 points) 3 - The Beach Boys with Pet Sounds (3 points) 4 - The Beatles with Rubber Soul (2 points) 5 - Miles Davis with Kind of Blue (1 point) Just missing the top 5 is Bob Dylan with Blood on the Tracks.
Chris Thile - Not All Who Wander Are Lost Richard Thompson - Mirror Blue Shangri Las - Myrmidons of Melodrama Mahmoud Ahmed - Ere Mela Mela Black Eyes - Cough Got a feeling I'm the only constituent on these.
I like a lot of Thompson's guitar work when he collaborates with other groups and musicians. But not so much on his own.
