Your own ultimate list of albums...only ten!

[Count Machuki]

Yes I myself am about to start the Zambian leg of my African trip and I hope to find some tribes there who haven’t even heard of an ‘electric guitar’ and instead make music from seeds and fruit - how exciting that would be!

You know, you might try this one group----

HEY, wait a minute!

That'll be the BCB cup circa 2021

I've just turned 30 so I wouldn't know a later perspective, but given that Unknown Pleasures is my only survivor from my teenage favourites (the Kraftwerk and Aphex were close but just a little bit later maybe) it does suggest some kind of re-assessment through the years. I think I've got everything out of rock music that I ever will, though.

What other "rock" artists did you explore? I can't help but wonder since you say that all that has stuck with you is the first Joy Division. Not meant as an insult, I sincerely can't fathom this.

It's not the only one that stuck with me. Just the only that was in my top ten list on this thread. When I said 'survivor', I was referring just to that.

I had a Beatles obsession to rival anyone's at 14/15. I then discovered a bit of punk and 80s/90s alt/indie. I got quite heavily into electronic a bit later.

It's still hard to imagine that you aren't still finding things to get out of rock music, but I understand what you're saying now!

Now I'm 33 and listen to nothing but Whitesnake and Uriah Heep.

Good lad.

Yes, good lad

Jethro Tull and Gong when you are 43

The first 4 are the first ones I owned and played a lot, circa 1968-70 [as a 10-12 year old]

Jimi I got into becuz of my bestie's older brother

Badfinger was a favourite in '72, and ever since

Moved to Detroit in 1973 - discovered Bowie and Roxy; got heavily into them and LZ.

Came to Iggy later

Those "Ten Albums That Defined My Life".

Is that how we’re defining “Ultimate”? Some of you have chosen some personal and idiosyncratic favourites; others a list that traces your historical development as a music enthusiast; others offer a top 10 of choices that could be objectively argued as some of the greatest and most significant in the canon.

The latter better fits the actual definition of “ultimate” but is arguably the least interesting approach. Probably overthinking it but my choices for each would differ hugely.

think there is a change of definition,
since I started the thread (and I dont mind that)
probably caused by the trend over at FB regarding 10 album and so on....
