Yes, and in the same city as you (unless you moved), and I met you a long time ago at the Idiot Box. I really made an impression.
I had that one too - must've just missed the initial 350
Had it made the playlist, that's the song I would have picked.
I thought you were in Chapel Hill. I do recall meeting forever ago.Yes, and in the same city as you (unless you moved), and I met you a long time ago at the Idiot Box. I really made an impression.
So neither Vitalogy or No Code made the list…..wow. I like Vs. but I think those two are better albums. Yield shoulda made it as well, imo
I ranked Starfish, too.
I’m so glad you didn’t prank us with a Captain and Tennille or Carpenters album as #1, but the board meltdown would have been epic.1. The Dark Side of the Moon – Pink Floyd (1,211 point)

The Dark Side of the Moon is the eighth studio album by the English rock band Pink Floyd, released on 1 March 1973 by Capitol Records in the US and on 16 March 1973 by Harvest Records in the UK. Developed during live performances before recording began, it was conceived as a concept album that would focus on the pressures faced by the band during their arduous lifestyle, and also deal with the mental health problems of the former band member Syd Barrett, who had departed the group in 1968. New material was recorded in two sessions in 1972 and 1973 at EMI Studios (now Abbey Road Studios) in London.
Our Styx entry was Pieces of Eight.
At least it wasn’t Mr. Roboto
I am a big Styx fan, but the album that has Mr. Roboto is pretty terrible. I like Mr. Roboto for what it is (cheese and all), but Kilroy Was Here otherwise sucks swamp water.

I had Sound & Fury in my top 20, but suspect I may have been the only one to rank it. Metamodern Sounds was on my original list, but I only found space for 2 Sturgill albums, so it got cut.
This was on my short "just missed my top 70" list.
"Levee" was #1 in Anarchy's Zeppelin countdown. Exceptional song.
The Spotify algorithm recently suggested a “dad rock” playlist to me. I guess that’s better than “grandpa rock.”

Had I ranked, this would have been my #3 and my favorite song ever is on this album "It's Late". If anyone hasn't heard this song go take a listen.
The title song on this album is the definition of epic.
objectively?
Of these, I had both Sly’s Stand and Galaxie 500’s On Fire on my list too.
It was the biggest deal in music when many of us were in those crucial years of developing our own tastes. Given how intensely I felt about this album when I was in high school, I probably should have ranked it higher, but I don't listen to it as much as I used to. It has three of my very favorite U2 songs in Where The Streets Have No Name, Bullet the Blue Sky and Exit.5. The Joshua Tree – U2 (1,058 points)

The Joshua Tree is the fifth studio album by the Irish rock band U2. It was produced by Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno, and was released on 9 March 1987 by Island Records. In contrast to the ambient experimentation of their 1984 release, The Unforgettable Fire, the band aimed for a harder-hitting sound within the limitation of conventional song structures on The Joshua Tree. The album is influenced by American and Irish roots music, and through sociopolitically conscious lyrics embellished with spiritual imagery, it contrasts the group's antipathy for the "real America" with their fascination with the "mythical America".
I’m impressed by the diversity of the drafting group on this one. Lots of people with frequently different tastes.
The problem I ran into was this being an albums draft. As it turns out I don't consume my hip-hop via albums, just songs. A lot were on my original list, but almost none made it to the final 70.
Teenage me thought this was one of the greatest things ever and might have ranked it #2 behind Who's Next. Over time I gravitated to Physical Graffiti more, but that takes nothing away from the accomplishment of this record. I even grew to appreciate the two acoustic songs more; I wasn't as interested in them as a teen.4. Led Zeppelin IV – Led Zeppelin (1,058 points)

The untitled fourth studio album by the English rock band Led Zeppelin, commonly known as Led Zeppelin IV, was released on 8 November 1971, by Atlantic Records. It was produced by the band's guitarist, Jimmy Page, and recorded between December 1970 and February 1971, mostly in the country house Headley Grange. The album contains one of the band's most well-known recordings, the eight-minute-long "Stairway to Heaven".
Nice I had Aquemini ranked at 40 and also and was really hoping it would make it.
Love me some Lucinda
I was really surprised Illmatic didn't make it.
Great record. What I am surprised about is that its predecessor, the self-titled 1975 album, is just as great and was nearly as popular, and got no support here. Both albums are among the peaks of mid-70s mainstream rock. I didn't vote for either of them, but I can see why people voted for this one, and might have voted for the other one had Mac been one of those more-than-one-album-on-the-ballot bands, which with this bunch they were not.3.

Rumours is the eleventh studio album by the British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac, released on 4 February 1977, by Warner Bros. Records. Largely recorded in California in 1976, it was produced by the band with Ken Caillat and Richard Dashut. The recording sessions took place as the band members dealt with breakups and struggled with heavy drug use, both of which shaped the album's direction and lyrics.
Of the Rumours songs, I think Gold Dust Woman is the only one better than Silver Springs.A very pleasant surprise to see this land where it did. Knew it was headed for the top 15, but didn't think this high. I had it #20 and probably was too low. What a stunning accomplishment by a band that took all its negative energy and turmoil and made one of the best pop albums in history. And this coming off its fantastic self-titled album just a few years prior.3. Rumors – Fleetwood Mac (1,092 points)

Not a weak song in the bunch - and yet one outstanding tune that didn't make the original pressing ("Silver Springs") could arguably top them all.
This may have been the most interesting part of the thread.
I'm not familiar with self titled beyond the hits, of which I enjoy, while Rumours was ALL hits.Great record.
