EWB's Top 30 Album of All-Time: The List

[fr34k]

It's finally here!

Thirty-four beloved and not-so beloved members on EWB decided a couple of weeks ago to share their top 10 20 albums with everyone. Today, one lovely bastard (hint: me) counted all the votes and is going to present EWB's favorite 30 albums to all of you.

Why 30 you ask? Wait and see, maybe you'll understand why!

People voted for 425 individual records, although some of them should have probably never been made.

Without further ado, here is the list.

OH WAIT!

These five records came close to the Top 30:

Place 35: Dead Boys - Young, Loud And Snotty

(35 points, 2 votes)

Place 35: Miles Davis - Kind of Blue

(35 points, 2 votes)

Place 35: Nirvana - MTV Unplugged in New York

(35 points, 2 votes, one 1st Place)

Place 35: Misfits - Static Age

(35 points, 2 votes, one 1st Place)

Place 31: Frank Turner - Love, Ire & Song

(37 points, 3 votes)

.

And of course the album that unfortunately missed the Top 30: The album that actually made the Top 30

Place 30: Green Day - American Idiot

(38 points, 2 votes, one 1st place)

Next Up: The list improves, one of my top two albums, a guy with an awesome voice and something our Indie lovers might enjoy. Stay tuned!

Yeah, Green Day isn't on the list! Sad to see Miles Davis got left out, though.

[Redefine Sick]

I'm happy knowing atleast two of my albums got on the list.

[GoGo Yubari]

Kind of Blue should have been on there but Miles Davis never gets love on these things. EDUCATE YOURSELVES, EWB

[VerbalPuke]

The Dead Boys just missed it? Ah fuck.

I know it was fr34k and I that voted them. I just listened to Young, Loud, and Snotty recently it was as good as ever, it will always be one of my favorite albums.

Oh, and the album scores points for having the typical "We're a punk band in front of a brick wall/in an alley (double points for both in this case)" album cover.

The Misfits were robbed. Robbed I say. I just noticed they're on the "Barely Missed It" List.

Atleast I know Thriller will be up here.

The album is awesome and it's a shame no one else voted for it. But then again, there are people voting for American Idiot and Paramore records, so I shouldn't expect too much.

Also, I can't sleep, so you can expect the next five in a few minutes!

Place 29: Pulp - Different Class

(39 points, 3 votes)

Place 29: The Stooges - Raw Power

(39 points, 2 votes, one 1st place)

Place 29: Tom Waits - Rain Dogs

(39 points, 2 votes, one 1st place)

Place 29: Weezer - Weezer (The Blue Album)

(39 points, 4 votes)

Next up: a record our Indie lovers will enjoy (this time it's actually in the next update

), something SRN was pretty sure would be #1 or #2 and an album by a band that barely missed the top 30 with something else!

[GoGo Yubari]

Blue Album rules. My favorite album of the '90s.

[fr34k]

It is indeed great.

[Matt]

American Idiot got more votes than Unplugged in New York... you guys fucking suck.

[Hickey]

Nirvana is ridiculously overrated.

[SRN]

Nirvana is ridiculously overrated.

This. So much this.

[New Damage]

I sense another "trophies vs. achievements" discussion coming along except about Nirvana and their overrated-ness.

[Redefine Sick]

Nirvana is ridiculously overrated.

This. So much this.

A thousand times this.

[db07]

Nirvana is ridiculously overrated.

This. So much this.

A thousand times this.

+1

[fr34k]

Stop the Nirvana bashing . Let's keep this moving, shall we?

Side Note: I will soon PM a select few of you with an album name (don't worry, it's one you voted for) and will ask you to write a short paragraph or two why you voted for the album etc. I also want you to name three key-tracks from the record, which people should listen to if they want to get a glimpse of the album.

Place 25: Foo Fighters - The Colour and the Shape

(40 points, 3 votes)

Place 25: Neutral Milk Hotel - In The Aeroplane Over The Sea

(40 points, 4 votes)

Place 25: Wu-Tang Clan - Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

(40 points, 5 votes, one 1st place)

Place 22: Green Day - Dookie

(42 points, 4 votes)

Place 22: Red Hot Chili Peppers - By The Way

(42 points, 4 votes)

Next: This must be one of the coolest record names ever, a guy who has his own show, and maybe something featuring demons, souls or whatever.

[fr34k]

Foo Fighters are not good, they should have just released a record with all their okay songs and be done with it .

The less said about Green Day the better, although Dookie isn't their worst effort.

Quick question: Am I going too fast with the list or is the speed okay?

[GoGo Yubari]

That section started out great and ended frustrating.

[fr34k]

I am sad to announce that Open Office fucked me over and that American Idiot actually is in place 30 and I have to adjust the numbers accordingly. Sorry about that .
