I reckon....
....
Nevermind - Nirvana

I'd be suprised if it panned out like that, top 5 for sure though.
Have you checked out my Se7en thread in the General (wrong forum) you might like
Listening to Innervision by Stevie Wonder. It's fecking class.
that one and Talking Book were recommended to me by a session player who played with P-Funk, among other great acts.
I'm downloading loads of albums. Films are so last week.
What's Going On's brilliant as well.
Listening to Frampton Comes Alive!
Class Album.
Class Album.
it may sound strange, but I suggest you download lots of Prince.
Funnily enough, I already have! I've downloaded Sign o' the times, Diamond and Pearls and 1999.(I've always loved Little Red Corvette)
Downloading Songs In The Key of Life.
Listened to Dark Side of the Moon the other day, after feck knows how many years. fecking brilliant album.

May I also recommend Outkast's Stankonia?

I'll check it out. You must've listened to Illmatic, Dwayne? Hip Hop at it's best.
I think I owned it at one time.
Can't say anythingbad about Nas.
Can't say anythingbad about Nas.
Songs In The Key of Life is a good'en, just going through it at the mo. You don't realise how influential he's been till you list to his stuff.
Is Voting Over?
indeed. one of those artists who you find yourself singing along to even though you don't really know the song...but you've heard it one the radio and such for years.
Right boys a few must listen albums for you:
DJ Shadow - Entroducing - This is one of my all time favorites and has been hugely influencial since it's release
U.N.K.L.E - Psyence Fiction - Just brilliant
Leftfield - Leftism - IMO the greatest dance album ever written, over 12 years old and still sounds amazing now, I use this to test any new audio equipment I buy.
Death in Vegas - The contino Sessions - Again, just brilliant.
Cocteau Twins - Treasure - Beautifull album from the eighties, Liz Fraiser on vocals a voice to die for.
Portishead - Dummy - I fecking love this band, Beths vocals sends shivers down my spine, will be in my top ten easily.
Massive Attack - Mezzanine - Maybe a controversial MA pick, some might go for Protection or Blue lines but this one is my favorite as it's so dark.
I'll list some more later but you can't do your lists until you have heard these IMO.

Got em all Nomes, 'cept Death in Vegas and Cocteau Twins
Got em all Nomes, 'cept Death in Vegas and Cocteau Twins
Thought you might somehow
You'll love Death in Vegas I think it'd be right up your street.
Cocteau Twins maybe/maybe not, they are an aquired taste.
Death in Vegas have always been a bit hit and miss for me, some brilliants tracks and some distinctly average
Cocteau are class and always will be
Cocteau are class and always will be
On the whole I'd agree with this, but this album stands out for me, no fillers just great tunes, it's the only one of theirs I sit down and listen to all the way through.
Just re-discovered Tricky's 'Maxinquaye'. Not heard it for years. Used to feckin love that album back in the day. It's goin in the list
You are all tone deaf dirty whores... except for Spoonez. Good on you... "Songs in the key of life" is great and deserves to be on such a list.
Let me add that such lists are stupid, and the people that make them are going to burn in hell.
Does anyone here even know who the Funk Brothers are/were? This is a trick question!

Indeed great album.
Primal Scream - Screamadelica another one that may make the list too.
Oh and Maroon, it is possible to like more than one genre of music as you will see when my list is finished. Maybe you should have joined in if you know so much, just a thought.
I agree with you about these sort of lists. I think they're silly but if people want to do them I have no problem with it, just have fun I suppose.
The Funk Brothers... true legends. James Jamerson in particular, a real musical genius who should get more recognition.
Probably the best double album ever (though the second half isn't quite as good as the first). Might make it onto my list.
I've just read further into the thread and realised there are a few Stevie Wonder fans in here. Stevie Wonder himself said that Innervsions was his favourite album, though I personally prefer SITKOL. Check out Fulfingness' First Finale as well. Together with Talking Book, those four are probably his best albums.
As for What's Goin' On, that'll be in my top 5.

anyone able to get me a copy of Primal Scream - Screamadelica on rapidshare? Can't seem to find it anywhere.
So who's gonna be first up? Nomes?
Mine's almost complete, but I wanna see some others first so I can pilfer (plus, the first one always gets picked to shreds)

Fine I'll play along then!
What are you talking about?
Ok I didn't know that, what are the criteria?
We're all just posting our top 50 albums in order to come up with a definitive ''Redcafe Top 50 albums''. Quite simple
RedNome might let you in, I dunno, this is his baby, not mine
Nah, not necessary to change around in the build up.
I will post mine here anyway. The subject is intriguing and woke my curiosity. Fun pastime.
I have been in many a discussion about this, and I have stubbornly held on to the belief that the best album is the one that tops the sales. Sales don't lie.
This time though, I will post the ones I have listened to the most. Personal favorites.

You're joking right?
