EWB's Favorite Albums of All-Time VOTING THREAD

[fr34k]

EDIT: Everyone is now allowed to vote for their Top 20 Albums! WOOOOOOO!

In another desperate attempt to get some activity in the music forum going, I thought it would be fun to find out what EWB's favorite album of all time is. If you want to vote, please pick your Top 10 albums of all time and stick to this voting format:

1. "Album Name" - Artist

2. "Album Name" - Artist

3. "Album Name" - Artist

4. "Album Name" - Artist

5. "Album Name" - Artist

6. "Album Name" - Artist

7. "Album Name" - Artist

8. "Album Name" - Artist

9. "Album Name" - Artist

10."Album Name" - Artist

It makes it easier for me, because there are obviously some bands that took their names from an album and vice versa.

For counting up the votes, first place receives 10 points, second place 9 and so on. I'm only going to count the votes after voting is closed, so feel free to edit your list as many times as you wish.

Also, please keep the bitching about other people's list to a minimum. The place for this will be the final list.

I'm also going to ask a selected few of you to write a few words about albums of the Top 10/ Top 5 (depending on activity) that you voted for.

That's about it, vote away!

1. "The Downward Spiral" - Nine Inch Nails

2. "Raw Power" - The Stooges

3. "In Utero" - Nirvana

4. "Young, Loud and Snotty" - Dead Boys

5. "By The Way" - Red Hot Chili Peppers

6. "Origin of Symmetry" - Muse

7. "(GI)" - The Germs

8. "In The Aeroplane Over The Sea" - Neutral Milk Hotel

9. "Neon Golden" - The Notwist

10."Amethyst Rock Star" - Saul Williams

11. "Blauer Samt" - Torch

12. "Keine Macht für Niemand" - Ton Steine Scherben

13. "OK Computer" - Radiohead

[GoGo Yubari]

I'm down with this. Good one, fr34k. I've sort of been considering running a Desert Island Draft (pretty much just a draft for albums) but this will do nicely.

1. Abbey Road by The Beatles

2. Kind of Blue by Miles Davis

3. The Velvet Underground & Nico by The Velvet Underground

4. Demon Days by Gorillaz

5. Weezer (The Blue Album) by Weezer

6. Skylarking by XTC

[SRN]

Great idea, fr34kster, really wanting to see some more activity around here and thus I am contribootin'; probably with albums only I'll vote for.

1. "Infinity" - Devin Townsend

2. "Elvenefris" - Lykathea Aflame

3. "Field Recordings from the Edge of Hell" - Dirty Knobs

4. "Kvelertak" - Kvelertak

14. "Sabotage" - Black Sabbath

15. "So" - Peter Gabriel

16. "Mirrored" - Battles

18. "Mr. Bungle" - Mr. Bungle

19. "Bringing It All Back Home" - Bob Dylan

20. "Planisphaerium" - Wormed

Alright, extended the list with some glaring omissions and switched some stuff around; still no idea if I am finally done with it. Honorable mentions goes to "Wish You Were Here" by Pink Floyd, "Obscura" by Gorguts, "Time Out" by The Dave Brubeck Quartet, "Eater Of Birds" by Cobalt, "Symbolic" by Death, "Seven Churches" by Possession, "What Burns Never Returns" by Don Caballero and Rage Against The Machine's self-titled debut. Oh, and also "The Mechanical Hand" by HORSE the band and "Ten" by Pearl Jam.

[YI]

1. "Absolution" by Muse

2. "Suburban Teenage Wasteland Blues" by Strung Out

3. "Our Darkest Days" by Ignite

4. "Transatlanticism" by Death Cab For Cutie

5. "Up The Bracket" by The Libertines

6. "Something To Write Home About" by The Get Up Kids

7. "Mute Print" by A Wilhelm Scream

8. "Frengers" by Mew

9. "Sleeping With Ghosts" by Placebo

10. "Travelling Without Moving" by Jamiroquai

I'm definitely going to be missing something, it's just narrowing it down to 10 is ridiculously difficult.

Honourable mentions to all 4 of the Weakerthans albums, which may be edited in if anyone else votes for one.

I was actually going to start up the "100 favourite bands" list for the year around mid-July, but might leave it a little bit so things don't get listed to death.
