Support NeoGAF

[silver.tongue]

They only have one album that deserves to be in there though. Hot Fuss = incredible, everything after = meh.

Nope.

Hot Fuzz is also too low on the list.

 

[deli2000]

"What?! Album X isn't on here? Is this list a fucking joke?"

"What the hell is Album Y doing on a greatest albums list? What a piece of shit."

 

[Majmun]

129. Beyoncé, B’Day (Columbia, 2006)

38. Beyoncé, Beyoncé (Columbia, 2013)

 

[Vyrance]

List automatically wins me over by having 36 Chambers at #2

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

No self titled Rage album

aint that some bullshit

It really is some serious bullshit.

No Tool either is some massive bullshit.

 

[equippedwithtowel]

This is a really great list of records. Like pretty much everyone I would change the order, remove some, and add some. But the list is solid.



Both Kaputt and Boxer are on there.

That's what I get for browsing on mobile. In any event I would put them in the top 100 at least.

 

[teruterubozu]

Not a bad round up as these usual line ups go.

Glad The Queen is Dead got #5. Oasis' Whats The Story and Kate Bushs' Hounds of Love are too low IMO but that's list warz for you.

I'm surprised Kate Bush made the list but Peter Gabriel did not.
No Seal is another oddity. Dude had one of the biggest albums ever in the 90s.

 

[CoolOff]

More shocking however is the lack of Destroyer's Kaputt

List is invalidated.

Also, fuck MBDTF.

Edit: Oh, Kaputt is on there? Well, it should've been higher.

 

[Ninhead]

Where the fuck is "The Fragile"?

 

[Paskil]

Arcade Fire at #85. Nah
Nine Inch Nails only listed twice with the first album being #48. Nah

Where the fuck is "The Fragile"?

My man.

 

[Floridian]

Discovery @ #4. Amazing work Daft Punk.

MBDTF's ranking is also nice.

 

[Manmademan]

"What?! Album X isn't on here? Is this list a fucking joke?"

"What the hell is Album Y doing on a greatest albums list? What a piece of shit."

yeah yeah, I get what you're going for. But having Rage's debut album as well as literally everything from Tool completely absent in a "best of" list this big is bizarre, really.

It's like making a "best of the 80s" list and leaving out Thriller completely.

 

[Mangoverboard]

Strokes should have been higher

 

[Outdoor Miner]

This list is pretty crap, but eh most are.

The Avalanches are criminally low, same with The Microphones.

More shocking however is the lack of Destroyer's Kaputt and The National's Alligator or Boxer.

Boxer is in there at 142.

 

[Jezbollah]

Kind of hard to take that list completely serious without Pearl Jam's Ten or Vs being in there.

 

[teruterubozu]

"What?! Album X isn't on here? Is this list a fucking joke?"

"What the hell is Album Y doing on a greatest albums list? What a piece of shit."

At least the editors admit it's a "I like thing" list.

 

[Übermatik]

Cmd + F Aphex Twin... good, though SAWII over 85-92...!? Anyway,

Cmd + F The Knife... good! Nice surprise.

Cmd + F Blur... No Think Tank!? But 13... weird, love them both...

Cmd + F Boards... okay, cool!

All in all, not bad.

 

[deli2000]

Where is the hell is Mumford and Sons on this goddamn list? Spin call themselves a music publication, but fail to put the indie rock masterpiece that is Sigh No More at number fucking one on this list? Give me a break.

 

[JawesomeJaw]

I feel properly represented.

 

[JLG-]

Loveless at #14. nice.

but.. where is Slowdive - Souvlaki?!

 

[Manmademan]

Kind of hard to take that list completely serious without Pearl Jam's Ten or Vs being in there.

ouch. I didn't even notice, but that's indefensible, especially with Nevermind floating up there at #1.

 

[TheExhaustedWalrus]

I'm mostly ok with this list, I've seen worse.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

No Pearl Jam's Ten is a HUGE omission as well. Goddamn this list...

 

[equippedwithtowel]

My biggest gripe over an inclusion is probsbly Parquet Courts at 299. Not only is Sunbathing Animal not not their best album, it's not even their best album of 2014.

Edit: Also missing a Deerhunter album unless my eteyes have failed me twice.

 

[Train of Midnight]

300- Green Day: American Idiot

Yeah I'll just stop reading right there.

 

[JadedWriter]

I am greatly disturbed by the lack of Cocteau Twins on there.

 

[lamaroo]

Funeral all the way down at 85?

 

[liquidtmd]

Edit: Also missing a Deerhunter album unless my eteyes have failed me twice.

207. Deerhunter, Halcyon Digest (4AD, 2010)

Time for the opticians

 

[Eidan]

I don't usually get into list whining...just tell me where In Rainbows is.

 

[AColdDay]

Fuck Kanye, but MBDTF is deservedly in the top 10.

Heck yeah!

 

[JaseMath]

Rjd2...Deadringer nowhere to be found.

 

[Dead]

Some decent stuff listed, then you get trash like Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj.

lol spin

 

[blackflag]

#20, #86, #151

By up there, I meant in the top 10.

 

[dr3upmushroom]

Wu-Tang is overated

Spoiler

subjective opinion

 

[Deleted member 47027]

Loveless at #14. nice.

but.. where is Slowdive - Souvlaki?!

I don't know! It's frustrating. That album is just...just...everything

 

[JinjoUnchained]

Enter the Wu Tang at #2 is an inspired choice.

 

[mattp]

paramore? lol

 

[thecouncil]

Vitalogy is the only Pearl Jam on the list and it's, like, their fifth best album, at least.

 

[Yellowtail]

Wu-Tang is overated

Spoiler

subjective opinion

Iron Flag is amazing.

That should be near the top instead of 8 Chambers.

paramore? lol

Album of the decade so far.

 

[thecouncil]

Counting Crows August and Everything After is also noticeably absent.

Good to see Fiona's When the Pawn... on there though.

 

[delta25]

How is Pearl Jam' Ten album not on that list...

 

[Manmademan]

No Pearl Jam's Ten is a HUGE omission as well. Goddamn this list...

The more I look at this list the more it's hard to justify everything after 2002 or so, with all the questionable omissions from the 80s and 90s that should be in there.

No Rage self titled
No Tool period
No Use your Illusion 1+2
Metallica's "Black Album" totally missing (?!)
Pearl Jam "ten" and "vs" absent

uh..these were MASSIVE albums and artists, what the hell.

 

[Servbot24]

That top 5 is absolutely embarrassing except for Prince.

Edit: Actually most of this list is awful. No wonder some people think music is getting worse if this is what they have access to.

 

[equippedwithtowel]

Time for the opticians

Today is just not my day apparently. On the other hand my opinon of Spin is slowly rising

 

[bigwinnerx]

Swap the Oasis albums. Then put DM 70 places higher. It's the hopeful response to Nevermind.

 

[HouseDragon]

These lists are always rage fuel, so I try not looking at them... But then I did. My mistake.

So:

• Nirvana at number 1 is awful, but somehow I expected it. Most overrated album. Couple that with having the only Soundgarden album on the list at 199 is just salt on the wound.
  
• I get that there can't be more than 3 albums per artist on the list, but not having "In Rainbows" in the top 300 is a crime. And in Radiohead's catalogue, it is its finest IMO (I would take "The Bends" off the list in exchange)
  
• "The Soft Bulletin" should be higher. Masterpiece.
  
• Good on having Bjork there with her two albums. Homogenic is pretty high, awesome.
  
• More Beck would've been good. "Sea Change", maybe.
  
• "Grace" from Jeff Buckley should be in top ten, at least. Probably the best debut album, from the one of the best singers to have ever lived.
  
• Not having The Mars Volta or Tool seals the deal and invalidates the list for me. Really?

So yeah, another rage fuel music ranking for me. YAY.

 

[mattp]

Album of the decade so far.

lol paramore

 

[Fallout-NL]

Vitalogy is the only Pearl Jam on the list and it's, like, their fifth best album, at least.

Yup, it's alright, but nowhere near as good as No Code, Yield or Ten.

 

[Eidan]

Oh. In Rainbows...didn't make the list. I see...I see.

 

[ChubbyHuggs]

Nirvana at #1...
