[VOTE] The *REAL* greatest albums of all time!!1!lol1!UKSFrocks!1

[Robert Poleson]

Am I fairly sure I probably wasn't the only UKSFer to be highly
underwhelmed by Channel 4's Top 100 albums on Sunday night.

So, as music threads and voting seem to be the flavour of the
month I have decided to run an Exclusive UKSF Poll. This will be
open to regular posters and lurkers alike. All you have to do is
send me a list of your 10 favourite albums, in order of
preference if possible, and I will use my powers of correctness
to compile the ultimate greatest ever albums of all time list.

I know it wont be easy for many of you to narrow it down to just
10 but just try to think of ten records you simply could not
live without or even the first ten that pops into your head when
you try thinking about it.

I'll give you all a couple of weeks to get your entries to me at
poleson at gmail.com

How are you going to compile it Rob? I doubt you'll have a single album
mentioned twice. It may be difficult to do a count up. Or are you just
going to chuck the whole lot together and call it the 'UKSF 200' or
something?

DWTWP, Os. I will be surprised not to see several of the same albums in
fuckers Top 10s. My Numero Uno pick is bound to be selected by anyone who
puts more than 5 minutes thought into this. Seminal work, seminal.

You and the Greedyman might be way off the beaten track and Nunn's will
all have Morris Dancers for artwork but there are some albums that scream
`pick me' and it won't be because we are following a fashion or trend
though that may have been the way we first heard mention of the albums.

**BIG BREATH**

So there.

Yeh but just because you and Tommo love "Sultans of Swing' doesn't mean
it's going in the rest of our Top 10's.

Dire Straits ain't bad but none of their albums will make my Top 10.

Here is a wild stab in the dark. Fuck all of the albums listed will be
from the last 10 years. It is up to the Drunkmeister himself but it would
be nice if all the entries had the year of release included too.

Some good shit there, Tommo. A mate and I did our own lyrics to
Industrial Disease back in the day and then put it to tape.

I found that tape recently and the lyrics we used didn't seem quite as
memorable as I remembered them but memory being what it is you have to
remember to recall that recollection is *

I intend to compile it using my powers of correctness, did I not
mention that in my initial post?

I fully expect to see a huge variety of records but I am sure there
will be at least one or two that should get more than one mention. In
fact, I think anything that gets four votes will win. Maybe.

Why the fuck do they bother chucking in stuff like the Sinatra or
Coltrane albums? If this means jazz should be in there then chuck Miles
Davis' 'Birth of the Cool' in at No 1 because it's one of 2-3 albums that
helped make modern music. None of the other shit would be there without
it. Likewise Elvis Presley's Sun Sessions and 'The Genius of Ray
Charles'. Epoch making artefacts that no one serious about modern music
should be without.

Hell, they may as well have chucked The Verve in at No 1.

I saw what you did there, with the Ace of Base and Tull in the same
sentence'n'shit.

Actually, There are probably a couple of Tull albums I like less than 'Happy
Nation', come to think of it. The late 80s Jethro Tull stuff was pretty
wank.

OK. A top 10 it is, but it will come with the proviso that I don't believe
compiling a top 10 is a possible task. Only way I can do this is to avoid
more than one album from any artist.

- Ultramarine: United Kingdoms
- Men They Couldn't Hang: Waiting for Bonaparte
- James Taylor: Mud Slide Slim and the Blue Horizon
- Simon and Garfunkel: The Sounds of Silence
- Jethro Tull: Aqualung

I can almost smell your sweaty leather waistcoat.

I'm very concious that my taste is all in my mouth, and I'm careful not
to ram my badness down her throat (missus). I'll only play her my
mellow stuff like Steely Dan and Little Feat, as my heavier stuff would
only set the scene for a row.

She loves the Big & Rich debut album (Horse of a Different Colour),
which I think should be some sort of litmus paper as to whether a
person has any real idea of what it is to write and perform songs. That
would've been in the list, but I want it to mature for a few years
before it mixes it with the seasoned classics.

Back at her place we listen to Elvis / Nina Simone / jazzy stuff with
strong vocal performances, which is totally fine by me.

I had to buy a Jive Bunny album for a girlfriend once. I'd have rather
gone into a chemist and asked the youngest female assistant for some
condoms, thrush cream, pile suppositories, and something for my itchy
crabs. If it wan't for repeat prescriptions I could've, too.

Thank you very much for taking the time to actually email your list to
me. I didn't think it would be such a difficult request but it seems I
am wrong (this day will go down in UKSF folklore as a legend).

As it stands I have a list of 57 albums, nearly all of them are worth
owning.

to ban compilation or best of albums where the tracks contained are

DWYWP. If someone's favourite album happens to be a compilation, why
should it be excluded? The tracks they like may well be on other
albums, but not all on the same one. Just because they unsuck Ben's
horsecock, doesn't mean they can't suck mine. Or something.

Love you deeply'n'shit, but you are wrong here.

There is an obvious difference between favourite _tracks_ and favourite
albums. 'Favourite Tracks' is an entirely valid thing in and of itself, and
the process of compiling tracks into a compilation album, however good the
component tracks, is not the same as the recording and production of an
album.

If we followed your logic to it's conclusion, someone's favourite album
could be a home-made compilation of just their favourite tracks. Not only
would this make a mockery of the favourite _album_ survey, it would also
negate the potential of a future favourite _tracks_ listing.

It could, indeed. And I think that this, if they then produced it, financed
it and released it as an album, would be perfectly fine. Otherwise it's
just "a tape I knocked together". Someone has to draw a line, and I'm
drawing mine at the commercial point. YourLine, apparently, MayDiffer.

I mailed Poleson as well, but this is for the froup to make fun

(was I supposed to rank them?)

1. Simon and Garfunkel - Bridge Over Troubled Water
(Had to chose between this and "Sounds of Silence". Not such a
difficult choice in the end.)

2. Billy Joel - Piano man
(But Somehow Stormfront has to be mentiond if just for "We Didn't
Start The Fire".)

3. Jimi Hendrix - Are You Experienced.
(Nothing to add)

4. Metallica - Black Album / Metallica
(Many "true" Metallica fans don't like this album that much. I say,
screw you.)

5. Guns 'n Roses - Appetite for Destruction
(Difficult choice between this and Use Your Illusion 1/2.)

6. Soundgarden - Superunknown
(Nothing to add)

7. Beatles - Revolver
(Hard choice again. All my favourite Beatles songs are spread across
many albums)

8. Nirvana - Nevermind
(Nothing to add)

9. Queen - Night At the Opera
(See Beatles. Bohemian Rhapsody deserves this spot. Almost picked
Live at Wembley, but that would be cheating.)

10. Dire Straits - Brothers In Arms
(Accountant!111one! My favourite Dire Straits song "Southbound Again"
is not in this but still).

Here you go. The top 10 (don't ask me to put the fuckers in order, I
had a hard enough time sorting out this 10 from the rest).

The Whitlams - Eternal Nightcap
Aussie geniuses. Written in response to the frontman topping himself.
Cracking cover of Dylan's "Tangled Up In Blue"

REM - Automatic for the People
The perfect album. I cry every time I listen to Nightswimming.

Tori Amos - Boys For Pele
Very difficult to choose between any of her first 3 albums.

Sarah McLachlan - Fumbling Towards Ecstasy
Must be a bastard when you record the best thing you will ever produce
as your third album.

Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti
What electric guitars were invented for.

Kristin Hersh - Hips & Makers
She's bonkers. This is stunning.

Counting Crows - August And Everything After
My "Accountants!!!1111lol!!!" choice. Fucking excellent songwriters
though.

Queensryche - Operation: Mindcrime
A major part of my teenage years.

Wonderstuff - Never Loved Elvis
Grooves and social commentary.

Primal Scream - Screamadelica
Absolute total muthafucking genius.

And the ones that didn't quite make it. The rest of the shortlist.
Michael Franti & Spearhead - Stay Human
The Smiths - Singles (I know it's a compilation but fuckit)
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
Prince and the NPG - Diamonds and Pearls
Guns n Roses - Appetite For Destruction
Little Angels - Don't Prey For Me
Aimee Mann - Whatever
Kirsty MacColl - Galore (yes another compilation, just get over it)
Portishead - Dummy
Urban Species - Blanket
Marillion - Clutching At Straws
Metallica - Metallica
