Interesting list, ReRushed! Didn't know you were into a lot of the late 70's and 80's stuff you're into.

Those were my formative years. I was quite surprised at the results after I tallied them up.

Cool list! It seems I have a lot of listening to do to learn my music history, as I haven't heard at least half of the albums on your list. I'm going to have to check out more Future Sound Of London.... As for modern artists, it's good to see Sigur Ros on your list.... excellent choice.

 

However, you seem to have completely forgotten the 2000s. wink.gif tongue.gif

 

Also, this title is hilarious: laugh.gif

I'm going to make a stab at my own list.... I might have to stop at Top 50, though, due to time/sanity restrictions.

Dude! I simply haven't heard albums from the last decade worthy of making my list, but admittedly I haven't heard nearly enough music. Name some absolute favorites and I'll check 'em out! trink39.gif

That is one of my favoritest ever album titles. You just gave me an idea to start a thread about the best album titles ever, which is here:

I'm having trouble making mine. Think I'll go with top 50 as well.

Do it! Yeah, I should have said at the beginning if 100 is too ambitious to do 50 or 25 or whatever! trink39.gif

Wow, there's a lot of diversity there - I'd be shocked if you liked all of them, but I'd be even more shocked if you didn't like ANY of them!

As long as you don't mind songs sung in Italian, you're in for some of the best 70's prog ever! smile.gif

Some great classic prog there! The first one is the lead singer of Gong and is quite eclectic.

Some GREAT psychedelic music there. The Bobb Trimble one is weird as f*ck - if you can get past the fact that it's a guy who sounds like a woman singing, you're in for some of the most beautiful and weird music you've ever heard. Ya Ho Wa 13 is also REALLY weird and quirky stuff.

 

QUOTE
44. Popol Vuh - Spirit of Peace (1985)

Kind of new agey and repetitive, but beautiful and meditative - not for everyone.

 

QUOTE
65. Jean-Michel Jarre - Rendezvous (1986)
83. Tangerine Dream - Force Majeure (1979)
86. David Van Tieghem - These Things Happen (1984)

Electronic music classics. The last one is a drummer who made an electronic album with tons of samples and sound effects - very cool sounding and unique album.

 

QUOTE
84. The Innocence Mission - Birds of My Neigborhood (1999)
91. Bread Love & Dreams - Amaryllis (1971)

Warning - very folky! The 2nd one is "acid folk" aka "weird folk"

 

QUOTE
88. Last Exit - Iron Path (1988)

Fiery intense jazz fusion.

 

Please let me know what you think when you listen to any of these! trink39.gif
