Red Cafe's Official Top 50 Albums Of All Time (2014 Edition) - Submission Thread

Extending the dealine by a week - don't think I've promoted it well enough in the Entertainment Forum so want to get a true representation of the cafs opinion by getting as many submissions as possible...plus I'm sure there's still a few disputing their own lists and whether to change it :lol:

:lol: Yeah, so diverse! There really wasn't an album from another genre that I'd have listened to enough to threaten that top 15. Damn hard list to compile; even now I want to rip it apart and start afresh.
 
1. Helplessness Blues - Fleet Foxes
2. Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes
3. Have one on me - Joanna Newsom
4. Wakin' on a pretty daze - Kurt Vile
5. The Idler Wheel.. - Fionna Apple
6. Bon Iver - Bon Iver
7. Ys - Joanna Newsom

I could put more but they'd just be on the list because I couldn't think of others which is a bit pointless.

Ahh, nostalgia! First album I ever bought...not really a fan of Linkin Park now but every now and then a song from that album/Hybrid Theory comes on my iPod via shuffle, and I still have a lot of time for it.
 
I'm out till after midnight but I'll try to submit something then. I definitely agree with girish's inclusion of koi no yokan.
 
1.Food & Liquor - Lupe Fiasco
2.Teen Dream - Beach House
3.The College Dropout - Kanye West
4.Diplomatic Immunity 1 - The Diplomats
5.The Cool - Lupe Fiasco
6. Come Home With Me - Cam'ron
7.Section .80 - Kendrick Lamar
8.Good Kid Mad City - Kendrick Lamar
9.Live.Love.A$AP - A$AP Rocky (mixtape more than an album)
10.Hell Hath No Fury - Clipse
11.My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy - Kanye West
12.Thug Motivation 101 - Young Jeezy
13.Channel Orange - Frank Ocean
14.Camp - Childish Gambino
15.Kaleidoscope Dream - Miguel

This is likely to change but was the best I could think of, off the top of my head although the top 2 are pretty much cemented in.

Forgot Illmatic smh can I slap it in at 4 and drop off Miguel?
