Indulge Me POLL: 1001 Albums Johnny Fever Thinks You Must Hear Before You Die (#'s 1-50)

If Maze gets 1 vote, it was mine. Runner up's would have been the Faces.

Debbie Harry, Koo Koo (1981)

ok, Debbie Harry + half of Chic + half of Devo + cover art by H R Giger = I need to hear this, don't I?

I think you could guess my answer.

I love Koo Koo so much! I've hung on to a promo light-up display through numerous moves since 1981. It has some really great parts, and it's never less than interesting. But I'd never try to convince anyone it's the best record on that list.

I think if I made a big album list it would end up looking a lot like this one - some pretty obscure stuff alongside pretty well-known stuff from a broad range of genres. But I don't know if we would overlap much on the specific choices. Most of the albums I'm familiar with here are things I at least like. Not sure if any really stand out for me. Some interesting things to check out though.

Faces, Ooh La La (1973)

Really? Over A Nod is as Good as a Wink or Long Player? I mean, I dig Ooh La La fine, but wouldn't peg it as superessential Faces.

Voted Pod. By far my favorite Pixies record.

I see where you're coming from, but many of these albums are totally sentimental picks (and a lot were the intros to the particular bands for me).

lol I see what you did there.

i assume these picks aren't all necessarily JF's favorite by the artist so much as something he liked and wanted to write about?

Ultimately torn between KLF and YMG.

this, but i voted for life without buildings.

dope list! you should just do some tiny little 1-2 sentence blurbs. or is that played out?

I may throw some blurbs at particular albums, but not all 1001 of them.

So far, they all actually are my favorites by the artist.

I know what you're saying, though: "Johnny Fever, how is Flesh + Blood your favorite Roxy Music album? That's insane." Yes, it's insane, but it's the case.

so when are you making a playlist/mixtape of your favorite cuts?

I'll probably do Spotify playlists 100 at a time (some of the stuff isn't on there, but a lot is).

this is a great list

voted rodney crowell cause i like voting for rodney crowell

Sort of torn between

Bobbi Humphrey, Blacks and Blues (1973)
Utah Saints, Utah Saints (1992)

I hope at least one person votes for Utah Saints. I already copped upthread to that being the only album on the list so far I would consider a questionable recommendation, but I love it so much I'm gonna recommend it anyway.

Between The Cure and Portishead. Going with The Cure.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Glad to be of service!

0040 - Utah Saints, Utah Saints (1992) 	0

;_;

i think my tastes are relatively close to j. fever's <3

these polls are ridiculous tho -- one out of 50 is madness

one out of 50 is madness

true, but since there will eventually be 1001, I'd be clogging up the board with polls of just 20 or so.

Man, I totally gave up on this in the 200s. I need to finish it up someday, WITH blurbs.
