There shoulda been a singles list too, dammit!

― Mr. Snrub, Wednesday, 23 June 2004 08:57 (twenty-two years ago)

Dark Side at #70!?!?!?? Ziggy Stardust #81!?!?!? Don't they like rock and roll????

― Mr. Snrub, Wednesday, 23 June 2004 09:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I am still predicting: Television - Marquee Moon - as their Number 1

― DJ Martian (djmartian), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 09:08 (twenty-two years ago)

it is quite telling about 2004, rather than the 70s, electro/krautrock more represented then it might have been a few years ago, though that might just be Dominiques doing, cluster et al.

i like these lists, i think they are interesting to compare, from year to year, because they tell us about that year. a top 100 of the 70s in 1989, 1996, 2000, how they differ

― charltonlido (gareth), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 09:15 (twenty-two years ago)

I predict RAMONES will be their numero uno.

― Mr. Snrub, Wednesday, 23 June 2004 09:22 (twenty-two years ago)

I predict Wham will not make it into the top 100.

― scottontharox (scottkundla), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 09:24 (twenty-two years ago)

Lists that deal with specific decades are much more interesting than one's that attempt to define the 'greatest ever'.

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 09:25 (twenty-two years ago)

I predict 27 Fela Kuti albums in the top 100

― artdamages (artdamages), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 09:26 (twenty-two years ago)

and every Bowie album that fits the criteria will be on there \\

― artdamages (artdamages), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 09:27 (twenty-two years ago)

i think the #1 album will be Pet Sounds

― artdamages (artdamages), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 09:36 (twenty-two years ago)

I predict that I don't have a fucking clue who Fela Kuti is.

― Mr. Snrub, Wednesday, 23 June 2004 09:39 (twenty-two years ago)

hes from Africa dude.

― artdamages (artdamages), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 09:41 (twenty-two years ago)

Okay, any guesses on what Miles Davis album will be the token jazz LP in the top 50? On the Corner? Jack Johnson? Do you think there'll be any more jazz besides Miles and Herbie?

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 09:46 (twenty-two years ago)

i always enjoy the sex pistols vs the clash in these lists. glad to see the Devo album getting in though.

― mark e (mark e), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 09:49 (twenty-two years ago)

yes the clash and sex pistols are best enjoyed in lists

― artdamages (artdamages), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 09:51 (twenty-two years ago)

no dub albums yet. thinking about it i've never seen any dub stuff on pitchfork - have i missed it, or is dub a blindness in proportion to their ..um.. insight on other musics?

― artdamages (artdamages), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 09:56 (twenty-two years ago)

i think they are an indie site, though, i wouldnt expect that much dub. i wouldnt expect any argentinian music either, althuogh i suspect that will provoke less unrest. i think its ok for them to be tokenistic about other styles, i dont think its necessarily their remit to be broad, or to cover certain styles

― charltonlido (gareth), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 10:00 (twenty-two years ago)

well i obviously missed the dub stuff. i'll expect "king tubby meets rockers uptown" at no. 49.

i think they are an indie site, though, i wouldnt expect that much dub

why not? indie hipsters usually like dub. as much as they like giorgio moroder, fela kuti etc.

― dave amos, Wednesday, 23 June 2004 10:06 (twenty-two years ago)

no one's having a go at them for being tokenistic either. i'm not bothered one way or the other. was just vaguely and non-snobbishly interested in whether dub is going out of fashion with the 'other music' shoppers.

― dave amos, Wednesday, 23 June 2004 10:09 (twenty-two years ago)

(of which i would undoubtedly be one if i lived in new york.)

― dave amos, Wednesday, 23 June 2004 10:11 (twenty-two years ago)

good to see 'rock bottom' make the list. i guess they went back on their (now removed) 4/10 rating

― Michael Dubsky, Wednesday, 23 June 2004 10:19 (twenty-two years ago)

i would assume dub is not at a high point for that audience right now. we are in a cold/teutonic/prog/electro/kraut rather than rootsy cycle at the moment, though possibly towards the tail end of that,

― charltonlido (gareth), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 10:37 (twenty-two years ago)

ah so that's the way the wind's blowing.

― dave amos, Wednesday, 23 June 2004 11:19 (twenty-two years ago)

i think so, but i read somewhere, recently, questioning talk about whether folk is the new electroclash, in which case, all switches places when i ring the bell

― charltonlido (gareth), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 11:21 (twenty-two years ago)

should I start listening to dub now or be like, way double ahead of the curve and continue listening to my cold/teutonic/prog/electro/kraut records?

― artdamages (artdamages), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 11:22 (twenty-two years ago)

its a personal choice. you should do what is right for you, what you think best. either way, i'm sure it will all work out fine

― charltonlido (gareth), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 11:22 (twenty-two years ago)

it's a difficult one to be honest. for me it's whether to go for the argentinian tango angle now or later: to be precisely on the vanguard or, disastrously, a little too soon, causing the delicate renaissance to collapse before it flowers fully. this is why we study things like the pitchfork top twenty jostling frat records of the 1940s.

― dave amos, Wednesday, 23 June 2004 11:29 (twenty-two years ago)

so Wilco then?

― artdamages (artdamages), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 11:30 (twenty-two years ago)

i am, however, simultaneously faux-outraged, and sneeringly vindicated that pitchfork hasn't seen fit to include any tango records in their top 100. I mean, hello, Anibal Troilo Pichuco ?

― dave amos, Wednesday, 23 June 2004 11:38 (twenty-two years ago)

As soon as I scrolled far enough down to see Before and After Science at #100, I knew I was going to have problems with how "safe" this list is. Looking at the rest, I find I was absolutely right.

― Johnny Fever (johnny fever), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 11:48 (twenty-two years ago)

already i can see they put way too many multiple album artists on this

― Shake Your Halo Down! (ex machina), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 11:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, that's what my thinking was.

"If B&AS is already on there at #100, that means Eno's got to appear three or four other times."

― Johnny Fever (johnny fever), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 11:58 (twenty-two years ago)

Throbbing Gristle tokenism.

"154 is on there, Pink Flag is going to be in the top 20...."

Two Iggy albums already.

Only one Jazz album I think in the top 50.

I'll kill them if Joy Division gets put in the top 20. They were a singles band.

― Shake Your Halo Down! (ex machina), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 12:09 (twenty-two years ago)

but eno should appear three or four times! from #100 up till #61 only once btw.

bowie on the other hand has already appeared three times. without any album from the berlin trilogy! low is the only bowie i'd ever need in my life!

iggy (with or without stooges) as well has had already 3 entries.

― alex in mainhattan (alex63), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 12:12 (twenty-two years ago)

Take every album released by anyone in the entire decade, cut the list down to 100 choices, and you'd still include Eno three or four times?

I'd put Another Green World somewhere in the 50's or 40's and be done with him...not that I don't like that first wave of his solo work, but goddamn, there's only 100 slots to fill.

― Johnny Fever (johnny fever), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 12:17 (twenty-two years ago)

there definitely will be some more neil young albums (2 by now), led zeppelin albums (2 as well) and roxy music (1). probably also another king crimson (2) and another pink floyd (2). no dylan yet!

concerning eno i'd put before and after science, another green world and music for films. three totally different albums.

― alex in mainhattan (alex63), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 12:21 (twenty-two years ago)

Guys, this is a POLL, not a list. So OF COURSE there's gonna be tons of popular stuff.

― Mr. Snrub, Wednesday, 23 June 2004 12:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, I don't mean to pick on Eno. I know those records are all very different, and I was only using him as a reference because his is the first record you see on the list.

As far as Dylan goes, Blood on the Tracks will show up somewhere in Friday's installment, with Desire possibly showing up tomorrow (although, I wouldn't include it at all). The '70s weren't good to Dylan and Dylan wasn't good to the '70s (BotT excepted).

x-post

― Johnny Fever (johnny fever), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 12:34 (twenty-two years ago)

Guys, this is a POLL, not a list. So OF COURSE there's gonna be tons of popular stuff.

I know, I know. I sort of wish it was a list, though, or more specifically, the top 10s of every one of the contributing writers. That would make much more interesting reading.

― Johnny Fever (johnny fever), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 12:37 (twenty-two years ago)

I sort of wish it was a list, though, or more specifically, the top 10s of every one of the contributing writers. That would make much more interesting reading.

Yeah, but only if they included all the nice little paragraph reviews that go along with each album.

― Mr. Snrub, Wednesday, 23 June 2004 12:39 (twenty-two years ago)

It's fine that they want to do a piece of this scope about great albums of the seventies, but the numbering of this list is totally flippant and psuedo-authoritative.

― Tim Ellison, Wednesday, 23 June 2004 12:43 (twenty-two years ago)

The fact that this is actually a poll also means that the #1 album isn't necessarly their favorite, it's just the one that showed up the most.

― Mr. Snrub, Wednesday, 23 June 2004 12:44 (twenty-two years ago)

re: dub, heart of the congos will definitely be there.

theyre running a little low on soul so far, though im sure parliament/funkadelic and stevie wonder and "off the wall" and possibly prince - s/t will show up tomorrow or friday...

― peter smith (plsmith), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 12:45 (twenty-two years ago)

i mean, the list is only pseudo-authoritative if you want it to be; its not MY top 100 of the 70's, but i think its nice to see the rankings of this interesting if flawed website...

― peter smith (plsmith), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 12:47 (twenty-two years ago)

i would be fucking shocked if the prince s/t showed up.

― vahid (vahid), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 12:47 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah - i mean, i guess it wouldve been today...

― peter smith (plsmith), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 12:49 (twenty-two years ago)

The numbering was only determined by polling stats? I didn't see that stated on there.

― Tim Ellison, Wednesday, 23 June 2004 12:49 (twenty-two years ago)

Anyway, my point is that doing a piece on great albums of the seventies is fine, but the numbering makes tons of jugements--this is better than this, not as good as this--that aren't backed up IN ANY WAY.

― Tim Ellison, Wednesday, 23 June 2004 12:52 (twenty-two years ago)

the amount of bowie so far on the list indicates it's worthlessness.

NO EINSTIEIN ON THE BEACH

dude, that song is from the 90s.

― peter smith (plsmith), Friday, 25 June 2004 18:33 (twenty-one years ago)

Tim Buckley certainly wasn't heard by being unavailable on CD

Um, "...certainly wasn't hurt..." was what I meant to type.

Is there a link for the individual lists? I didn't see them when I looked this morning.

― peter smith (plsmith), Friday, 25 June 2004 18:38 (twenty-one years ago)

i am very surprised that NoNY and blank generation didnt make it.

NoNY, now there's an album I can't fucking STAND. Crazy unlistenable noisy tosh with no melodies at all.

― Mr. Snrub, Friday, 25 June 2004 18:38 (twenty-one years ago)

hey - when i click between the PFM page and this one, the browser heading changes sooo little.

sloooooow day.

"I don't any Can albums, and I feel pretty good about that."

It's like boasting about how you like sitting around in your own excrement.

― Blightersrock (Da ve Segal), Friday, 25 June 2004 18:58 (twenty-one years ago)

The world is seriously messed up when 15 people pick 100 albums each and none of those 1500 is called "Bat Out of Hell".
I'm not even saying that it deserved to be in the top 100 ... but ZERO votes? Whoa.

― Barry Bruner (Barry Bruner), Friday, 25 June 2004 19:07 (twenty-one years ago)

Like a bat outta hell, that album will be turned off if I am in the room.

― Chris Ott (Chris Ott), Friday, 25 June 2004 19:11 (twenty-one years ago)

hey scott pl, what is the exact procedure for the list? is it 100 points for a #1 vote, 99 points for a #2 vote,...,1 point for a #100 vote? and then just take the sum of each album?

if not, it might be interesting to see how that tally stacks up.

― peter smith (plsmith), Friday, 25 June 2004 19:14 (twenty-one years ago)

There's no Chrome you buncha queer boobies!

― NickB (NickB), Friday, 25 June 2004 19:15 (twenty-one years ago)

Peter, that's what I assumed it was (although of course I have no idea). Under that system, album #99 (After the Gold Rush) beats out #100 (Before and After Science) 227 points to 220 points.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 25 June 2004 19:18 (twenty-one years ago)

(And Low beats London Calling 985 points to 903 points.)

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 25 June 2004 19:20 (twenty-one years ago)

that seems about right, then.

― peter smith (plsmith), Friday, 25 June 2004 19:21 (twenty-one years ago)

Let It Be's presence on this list pretty much invalidates the entire enterprise.

― Blightersrock (Da ve Segal), Friday, 25 June 2004 19:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Chris, despite mixing up Tonights the Night with the Wall, you're list is really quite good. Better than the final, I'd say. Toys in the Attic is important to have on there.

― danh (danh), Friday, 25 June 2004 19:24 (twenty-one years ago)

It's like boasting about how you like sitting around in your own excrement.

Has the average age of ILM posters dropped to down to 12 recently?

― Rockist Scientist (rockistscientist), Friday, 25 June 2004 19:25 (twenty-one years ago)

And come to think about it, that's about the age I was most excited about Krautrock.

Did I overlook Tusk, Sticky Fingers (or Some Girls, even)???

If not, then you've gotta be fucking kidding me.

― T-roy, Friday, 25 June 2004 19:41 (twenty-one years ago)

Did I overlook Tusk, Sticky Fingers (or Some Girls, even)???

Didn't Tusk come out in 1980 or so?

― Salmon Pink (Salmon Pink), Friday, 25 June 2004 19:47 (twenty-one years ago)

i am glad neither london calling nor marquee moon made #1. because they are so fucking tedious. low is all right. another consensus choice but a good one. my #1 would have been keith jarrett's sapporo concert, am i the only person on ilm to care about keith?

― alex in mainhattan (alex63), Friday, 25 June 2004 20:03 (twenty-one years ago)

No, Tusk is 1979.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 25 June 2004 20:11 (twenty-one years ago)

Tusk: 1 vote (46)
Sticky Fingers: 3 votes (46, 49, 62)
Some Girls: 2 votes (22, 85)

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 25 June 2004 20:14 (twenty-one years ago)

although, now that i have seen the full 100, i do creep into double figures in the number that i have, so perhaps i'm not so bad after all:)
-- charltonlido (charltonlid...), June 25th, 2004.

I own 14.

-- People love Gravity and Ebullition! (Jonathan(dot)Williams@Google's_Amazing_New_Free_Email_Service(dot)com), June 25th, 2004.

I just counted and I've got 44 of these...

― AaronHz (AaronHz), Friday, 25 June 2004 20:35 (twenty-one years ago)

Ihave17.

― Rockist Scientist (rockistscientist), Friday, 25 June 2004 20:38 (twenty-one years ago)

I have heard about 30 in their entirety (this doesn't count Led Zep and The Who and Pink Floyd and shit which I probably have heard accidently or piecemeal or something). There is a lot of stuff I plan on hearing in there, but the list didn't clue me into anything (yeah no one else either, i know). The individual lists, though, are pretty cool. esp. dlleone's.

― artdamages (artdamages), Friday, 25 June 2004 20:49 (twenty-one years ago)

but the list didn't clue me into anything (yeah no one else either, i know)

I guess the thing that some people want from these lists is like their first time reading the NWW list. Like "whoa, I've only heard of like 10 of these guys. Look at all this cool previously unknown shit for me to check out!" That never happens, and I don't see how it could with a list of this type, so I'm over it. Overall I think the list is pretty good for what it is. I feel the same way about PF in general.

― AaronHz (AaronHz), Friday, 25 June 2004 21:16 (twenty-one years ago)

Typically*, I only own 9 of these albums (Clash, Television, Gang of Four, Stooges, both Nick Drakes, Modern Lovers, Steve Reich, Joni Mitchell).

*in the sense that I'm always the music geek who owns the least amount of music

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 25 June 2004 21:27 (twenty-one years ago)

it would have happened to me 3 years ago w/this list. i am sure a lot of pfm's readers will discover cool stuff from it (as someone said way upthread). so for that its really great.

the nurse w/wound list hurts my head just reading it.

― artdamages (artdamages), Friday, 25 June 2004 21:29 (twenty-one years ago)

-- Rockist Scientist (heterophoni...), June 25th, 2004.

Sure you did. Then you embarked upon your Xenakis and Barry Truax phases.
Because any mature individual knows that krautrock is merely part of youth's folly.

― Dave Segal (Da ve Segal), Friday, 25 June 2004 23:08 (twenty-one years ago)

I've got 22 of them. But there are loads more than I'm very familiar with but have never gotten around to owning. You know, stuff that's always just *there* ... i.e. "The Wall", "Zeppelin III", "London Calling", "Saturday Night Fever", etc. I guess I'm just not a big 70's collector.

― Barry Bruner (Barry Bruner), Saturday, 26 June 2004 00:20 (twenty-one years ago)

i don't want 21 of them, i don't have 15 of the rest so that makes 64 i own.

like many have commented, pere ubu's 1st is a noteable miss.

others i would have included are:

fripp and eno - (no pussyfooting) or evening star
henry cow - unrest or legend
neu! - neu! 2 or 64
slapp happy - slappy happy or desperate straights
patti smith - horses (where the hell is this?)
art bears - hopes and fears
captain beefheart - any
faust - s/t
philip glass - music with changing parts (his best piece for sure)
lou reed - transformer or berlin
steely dan - any
this heat - s/t
bill withers (maybe)
stevie wonder - talking book (better than innervisions)

― phil turnbull (philT), Saturday, 26 June 2004 01:10 (twenty-one years ago)

― Michael Dubsky, Saturday, 26 June 2004 07:26 (twenty-one years ago)

I have 25, which is higher than I expected. I listen to at least 10 of those, I think.

Right, it should have been #92, Hendrix somehow made it in there instead

The severe lack of dub makes me further question the relevence of P-Fork.

And guys, c'mon, "Docteur Faust" above "Transformer"....?

Wow. That's great. Do you happen to have a list like this for their 80s or 90s list?

I mean....uh... fuck this.

No, I don't have that. Their 90's redux poll would be possible to do but it's much less interesting to me. And they never posted the indiv. writer's lists for the 80's poll, so that'd be impossible.
