Your 5 favorite albums

But y'know, carry on turning ILM into Q Magazine by all means.

― pen pineapple apple pen (Turrican)

Are you reading the same thread as everybody else? Are you seeing endless lists of Nevermind, The Stone Roses, OK Computer, The Joshua Tree and Definitely Maybe? That's really not what is happening here.

Kitchen Person: Yes, I am reading the same thread as everyone else.

Tim F still butthurt that I loathe The 1975, clearly.

I Like It When You Sleep... is probably in my top 5 albums of more than 5 words in the title tbf

a walk across the rooftops
vrioon
colossal youth
sleep no more
tusk

Some more:
Lambchop - Is a Woman
Boards of Canada - In a Beautiful Place out in the Country
Swell - 41
My Bloody Valentine - Loveless
Wipers - Youth of America

can't help but resent the notion that my list has been listed a zillion times already, considering I deliberately picked five that are hardly discussed here if at all, and further picked five that flappy might like, I guess this is part of the social aspect everyone is on about

I have no idea how to search the rym top 5000(!) albums but I might be surprised to see some of the stuff on this thread, and certainly most of my five beyond Breakfast in America

socialism!

nah having fake alex in nyc around is always a handy way of defining one's aesthetic borders aka "negative partisanship"

Tim, please go outside and get some sunshine, you have absolutely no excuse.

aren't you burned out of listening to music or something?

Nevermind
The Stone Roses
OK Computer
The Joshua Tree
Definitely Maybe

brimstead: I'm no longer listening to and/or consuming music at the same rate that I once was. I've listened to a fraction of the music that I normally would have done this past week. I'm enjoying it more, too.

duncan browne's s/t is only #7,370

rym forum not _quite_ as useless as it would appear to be- linking to threads as well as to lists on release pages helps, even though most of the threads in question are old and locked, and i'm enjoying the upstart attempt to do a classical listening club- but there are a lot of woodpeckers and kids who really like doing drugs.

Nevermind
The Stone Roses
OK Computer
The Joshua Tree
Definitely Maybe

― Οὖτις

My plan worked. Every good album ever made has now been accounted for. We did it kids!

Lock the thread.

Wait, what? Do I have an unconvincing doppleganger or something?

Alex, according to young Timothy here, I'm apparently "ripping off" your posting style. What he doesn't understand is that I don't actually know much about your history here, aside from that you love The Stranglers, which is always an opinion worthy of the highest respect.

"nah having fake alex in nyc around is always a handy way of defining one's aesthetic borders aka "negative partisanship"

we need a highbrow zing thread...

Turrican, I like you man but youre being ridiculous and drawing arguements out of thin air. Im sure Tim F is not in the slightest bit bothered about yr opinion of The 1975.

Ok my last top 5

A Tribe Called Quest - Midnight Marauders
The Fall - This nations saving grace
AR Kane - 69
Mercury Rev - Boces
Love - Forever Changes

Im going to bed and i will give big youth - screaming target a listen

Sorry Brad, i didnt like that Debarge album much

Time Will Reveal is a perfect song tho

quite something how shook turrican is re: other people wanting to play high fidelity just for a moment

fwiw i see this thread as having a significantly different function to a rym user list or some spotify recommending bot. i'm not interested in their favourite records. but i'm definitely interested in the favourite records of particular ILM posters, some of whom i've been reading/following for a number of years!

u monster

jk that record especially has a v narrow appeal potentially, i just think every song on it is perfectly crafted post-disco r&b. funk, inelastic drums, gentle, airy ballads. it has everything

Swell - 41

Love this album so much!!

can't do this it changes before i get to the end of the list.
let me see how it falls now, though:
minutemen - my first bells (that's a cheat, no? whatever)
zappa - jazz from hell
luke vibert - yoseph
thomas köner - kaamos
mark fell - systems blah blah knot
now these are redundant, i need to choose others

herbie hancock - sound system
bogshed - step on it
cecil taylor - winged serpent (sliding quadrants)
powerdresser -promoting interaction communication & exercise
anthony braxton / roscoe mitchell - duets
again, the brain sludge has already re-fermented but i shan't test your patience any longer today

I did like the opening track on that Debarge album but then it was like 3 ballads in a row after that

the ballads are key to Debarge. they are easier to appreciate if you already adore Smokey Robinson and Thom Bell though.

the other five from me

Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band
Associates - Sulk
The Who - The Who Sell Out
The Stairsteps - 2nd Resurrection
Bijelo Dugme

Another five from me

Wrens - Meadowlands
DJ Quik - Quik is the Name
Elvis Costello - Imperial Bedroom
Mekons - Fear & Whiskey
Prince - Sign O The Times

Bad Brains - ROIR cassette
Stiff Little Fingers - Go For It
The Who - Sell Out
Nikki Sudden - The Bible Belt
The Suburbs - In Combo

the suburbs :D

does my heart good to see that

I came really close to picking The Suburbs' Credit in Heaven. Played that record to death in 1981, and hundreds of times in the years since.
