It looks like you, me, and Landry’s Hat all had Stand! The rare triple-up that did not make it.63. Stand! -- Sly and the Family Stone
The infectious high energy of their early sound was harnessed into something equally uplifting but more diversified and polished. Some people dock this record for the long funk instrumental that takes up most of side 2, but I will never scoff at an opportunity to listen to Larry Graham do his thing on bass.
Best song: "Everyday People," which also needs no introduction.

I had 10 hip-hop albums in my top 70:That's a good point - probably common.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.I am surprised that more 90s hip-hop/rap didn't make the list. Nas, Jay-Z, Biggie, etc. Not obscure acts. I would think that the ages that I would guess most of you would have been in during the 90s (like mid 20s), there would have been more. I could be judging this wrong though.

criminally underrated album. My favorite tracks are the opener “Shadow of the Season”, and “Troubled Times”….but yea, front to back, it’s great. Barrett Martin on drums adds a booming presence that Mark Pickerel didn’t have. No offense to Mark(original trees drummer)…I love Uncle Anesthesia as well, which preceded SO, and Pickerel played on. Different sound.The albums on my list that haven't been discussed yet:
39. Sound Affects -- The Jam
Recorded as their popularity skyrocketed, it was preceded by a standalone single that was their first UK #1 and included "Start!", their second. It was their most Beatlesque record, particularly "Start!", and showed that Paul Weller was taking his place among the great British songwriters.
Best song: "Set the House Ablaze," which is as incendiary as its name and finished #5 in the Jam countdown I did for MAD 2.
![]()
44. Crosby, Stills & Nash -- Crosby, Stills & Nash
Massively popular and almost as innovative of a pop record as what the Beatles were making, I was shocked that this did not make our top 350, and even thought it had a chance to appear as we got into the top 50. But it became clear that I was one of the few (only?) people who voted for both of their legendary albums, and all the one-voters went for Deja Vu, probably because of Neil's presence.
Best song: "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes," which needs no introduction.

54. Fanny Hill -- Fanny
Fanny, the first all-female band to release an album on a major label, was my MAD 3 artist. They never felt their records captured the power of their live show, but this, their third record, has no weak tracks and benefited from being recorded at Apple Studios with Beatle associate Geoff Emerick.
Best song: "Blind Alley," a Who-like rager that finished #3 in my MAD countdown for them.
![]()
57. Source Tags & Codes -- ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead
I mentioned that I had a 10-word artist name on my list. They were previously a post-hardcore band whose records were so lo-fi as to be inaudible at points, but they spent 2 years recording this and forged themselves a sound of incredible richness and power.
Best song: "It Was There That I Saw You," which brilliantly shifts between prog and punk.

59. Sweet Oblivion -- Screaming Trees
As promised to @Manster. One of the best records of the grunge era; every track hits hard but leaves an incredible melody in your head.
Best song: "Butterfly," which begins with a take on the "Tangled Up in Blue" riff and explodes from there.

63. Stand! -- Sly and the Family Stone
The infectious high energy of their early sound was harnessed into something equally uplifting but more diversified and polished.

Best song: "Everyday People," which also needs no introduction.

67. Countdown to Ecstasy -- Steely Dan
It's the same band with three of the same members, but Countdown to Ecstasy, the Dan's second record, sounds radically different from Aja. It's the most intriguing Steely Dan album to me because it was the only one whose songs were written with live performance in mind. As such, most of its songs rock much harder than their usual material, and it represents a fascinating look at what might have happened if Becker and Fagen decided to keep up the guise of being a real rock band.
Best song: "King of the World," which features some extremely fluid guitar work and resembles what a '70s talk show band might have sounded like if they took acid.

Martin was an absolute beast on the kit, especially live. He looked like Animal from the Muppets back there.criminally underrated album.

Your Modest Mouse picks are pretty awesome by me. You ranked two of my favorites by them. We Were Dead is probably the greatest range of anger, futility, hope, and tenderness that came out that decade, which was pretty twee in retrospect.*

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.
Of course the Flecktones are there too!No Flecktones?Here are a few of my unsubmitted list that didn't make it and presented in no particular order:
Flight of the cosmic Hippo - Bela Fleck
I listen to @SayChowda ’s list every so often for the heck of it so hey bro what can we exchange? LOL.
I had Punk In Drublic on there at one point. There were others. I did quotas and critical respect, which was stupid in retrospect. This was so much prog I might as well have forgone consensus. Like @Lord Lucan says, punk annihilated prog for me. That is a real thing that happened.

Definitely pick an album or two for me to check out. I think you know my tastes by now. I also can't do the 5 albums for the masses.
