I will stan all day long for the Beatles from Rubber Soul through the white album, and even the early pop, but, except for the three big hits, I don't get what people see in Abbey Road tbch.

This is pretty much where I am. I even prefer Let It Be to Abbey Road

I like the end of abbey road, golden slumbers and carry that weight. other than that, it's mostly toss bar come together, here comes the song, and something

I still think Abbey Road a solid 8/10, just the weakest Beatles album other than maybe Beatles For Sale. Revolver or White should have been the RS top-10 pick imo

J. Sam, Tuesday, 22 September 2020 20:01 (three years ago) link

as a true rockist i know that rubber soul is the best

I'm happier seeing Abbey Road at 5 than Sgt Peppers at 1 but I voted for The White Album, so there's that

should have gone with the beatles' red and blue albums, or maybe #1s, if we're including stuff like legend and the immaculate collection

we're part of the problem, lists are like internet traffic flypaper and we're just proving to the venture capitalists who structure every waking moment of our lives that we want more

i mean god bless merle haggard but putting his four-disc box set here is absurd

At least it's not Zaireeka.

The day one of these listmakers has the courage to include One Kiss Can Lead to Another is the day they finally have my undivided attention.

(I mean, I guess best ofs and box sets are okay but a multi-artist compilation that actually is one of the best 'albums' ever is crossing a line, I geddit, I geddit)

I'd be happy to talk about Xenakis but he didn't make the list.

Xenakis is fine and all, but where are the tunes?

why did we need 8 different polls to discuss the same topic tho

would rather a hundred vanity “my favorite albums” polls

Try Pithoprakta.

there's not an obvious Kind of Blue/Legend/Indestructible Beat* type token pick for Brazil

i think there is and it's Os Mutantes' self titled

billstevejim, Tuesday, 22 September 2020 20:40 (three years ago) link

or Africa Brasil. But every list *should* have Africa Brasil in it

Oor Neechy, Tuesday, 22 September 2020 20:41 (three years ago) link

I got to Pithoprakta first. There are definitely some banging sounds, thread has delivered

rob, Tuesday, 22 September 2020 20:42 (three years ago) link

I'm all for focusing on Brazil but it's hardly the only country with a rich musical tradition that got the short end of the stick here.

'californication' was, in 2003, merely the 401st best album ever recorded; now it's 286th

mookieproof, Tuesday, 22 September 2020 20:43 (three years ago) link

Agreed! I got sick of scrolling but Japan was certainly underrepresented. Lots of Europe too

Quite true. Am I having a heart attack though?

No Pink Floyd in the top 50 is just criminal imo.

A harry styles album from last year two spots above “here my dear” is one of those moments where I’m like ... hmm poptimism did go too far after all

ILX’s bad boy (D-40), Tuesday, 22 September 2020 21:27 (three years ago) link

Even putting aside the list I felt so cheated by that Harry Styles album. People were hyping it up like “he’s put a modern spin on glam and Fleetwood Mac and hall and oates” and it sounded like maroon 5 https://t.co/jtgntcruLF
