Sorry, what's the point of the thread?

To determine the canonical albums and figure out why they suck and who among us has the fewest of them?

it was probably a lot more spontaneous than that but you might be close to the truth. i just liked ced and the baron getting upset about it, like i was raping their mothers or something.


Well! Perhaps it's worth a read after all.

I have them all with the exception of Grace, Talking Book, Born to Run, It Takes a Million and Sgt. Pepper.

And yes, I have Thriller.

It's revisionism gone mad, I tell you. Those are (mostly) great albums. We shouldn't like them because... what? Too many other people do?

We should like most of them, just not The Doors.

Griff, did you just give Pink Moon a 0 out of 5 rating?

I'd like to add that even though I have most of the albums mentioned, I seldom listen to them anymore.

Thank you.

Carry on.

where did this thriller hatred come from, actually dont answer, i can just picture where it comes from. A lot of people who identified with the lyrics to 'How Soon is now' too much

It's a decent pop album, so a lot of people bought it?, well maybe they have better taste than people here give them credit for.

yeah i can go along with all of those to be honest

and then i remember school discos and think who gives a fuck


unlike "off the wall", say, it is completely unloveable.

I wouldn't pay attention here, everyone. He clearly doesn't know what he's talking about.

All the ones with asterisks, are albums I have paid good money for (I don’t think copies should count.). Of the ones without asterisks, well it gals me that I don’t own them and probably will one day before I’m dead! Nice thread, most amusing. If I could, in this list, I would swap Are You Experienced? for Electric Ladyland.

Hey what's going on here? Did I miss a meeting or something? Do we hate these albums now? Or are we saying they're all classics?
Or are we suggesting that people say that they were influenced by this stuff when in fact they were not? But the influences influence the influences...

Let's start a new list:
1. Hamlet
2. Ulysses
3. War & Peace
4...
