@Dr. Octopus @kupcho1 - thanks for all the hard work!

Is it easy enough to share a list of artists by points received? Would be interesting and kind of a top artist list on top of the album list.
@kupcho1 ?

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. 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.


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.

You would be randomly matched with another participant and give him/her five of your albums to listen to and he/she would give you five albums to listen to.

We listen to each and give a review (doesn’t have to be elaborate) in the thread. No time limit or anything.

And I was wrong.😑
 
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.
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.
That's a good point - probably common.
I had 10 hip-hop albums in my top 70:

2 - Paul’s Boutique, Beasties
12 - Ill Communication, Beasties
16 - The Low End Treory, A Tribe Called Quest
19 - Check Your Head, Beasties
23 - 3 Feet High and Rising, De La Soul
25 - The Chronic, Dr. Dre
28 - Straight Outta Compton, NWA
45 - Aquemini, Outkast
58 - Run the Jewels 2, RTJ
66 - Paid in Full, Eric B & Rakim

Enter the Wu-Tang, Illmatic, License to Ill, Ready to Die (Biggie), Fear of a Black Planet (PE), and It Takes a Nation of Millions (PE) were all in my top 100ish, but missed the cut to 70.

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.

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

I hope that everyone participating is going to try to choose albums they think the other person would like. That should be a given imo.

Someone’s gotta draw the short straw

Also i would suggest if someone picks an album you’ve heard before to ask for a replacement, assuming the goal is to get people to experience new albums

Not sure I have 5 of those on my list
 
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 countdown had 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.

I couldn’t do the listening because my taste is really far afield from the majority doing the list. I think a bunch of y’all and I would be arm and arm but for veering into certain things. *

eta* which is good. It’s expansive and broad-minded and I applaud that.

eta2* and Doc laughed before my edits. I always feel bad when I edit and change the context. It was funny! The first two paragraphs, anyway.

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.*

* that album is not considered their best by really anybody but you and I (and some others, but there aren’t many)

I’ll participate too, but am afraid of a couple of potential pairings.
I hope that everyone participating is going to try to choose albums they think the other person would like. That should be a given imo.
Not sure I have 5 of those on my list

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.*

* that album is not considered their best by really anybody but you and I (and some others, but there aren’t many)

Spitting Venom might be my favorite song by them
 
So for the "five album swap" I have the following people as participating:

@Dr. Octopus (love that guy)
@KarmaPolice
@Pip's Invitation
@Ilov80s
@MAC_32
@Idiot Boxer
@Dan Lambskin
@Don Quixote
@Mrs. Rannous
@Mt. Man

By far my favorite. The sukie rag jump breakdown kills me.

The lyrics sum up my 2007 very thoroughly.

Who the hell made you the boss?
This fit like clothes made out of wasps
Aw **** it I guess I lost

Also love the end of March Into The Sea

Well treat me like the sea, oh-so salty and mean, ah ha ha
Oh treat me like the sea, oh-so salty and mean, ah ha ha
Well treat me like the leaves, like the rats and the fleas
Bang your head like a gong 'cuz you call it all wrong
Move your tongue, klank klank, klank klank, klank klank, klank klaaaaank
Cut me down like the trees, like the lumber or weeds
Drag me out of the sea and then teach me to breathe
Give me forced health till I wish death on myself
Give me forced health till I wish death on myself
Ah ha ha! Ah ha! Ah ha! Ah ah! Ahaaah!
Well we all stumbled round tangled up in the cords
From our phones, VCRs and our worldly woes
Ah ha ha, march on, march on, march on, march on
Well, march on!
 
1990ish - Present - I know Landry posted Galaxie 500 too. Some other Vampire Weekend showed up. And Black Keys looked like an album split.

19 - On Fire - Galaxie 500
Listening to these guys right now as I am making dinner and thought of this thread. Love these guys.
They’re good

Not sure how I got turned onto them
This was the tune
 
Just in case anyone is avoiding joining because of me if there’s 1 album that’s just an absolute no for you I’ll replace it with a mystery album not on my list

Like if you’re just completely opposed to an album with a flintstones reskin of the Sex Pistols anarchy in the uk and songs about poop and pigs I get it

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.
I think a fitting end to the countdown would be to add Brain Damage/Eclipse to the playlist. Perfect ending to a perfect album. Anyone else have any thoughts?
I'm down with that. Great and fitting choice to close this out.
 
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.

Damn. I’ll keep them up your alley of hip hop and punk.

How about Summertime ‘06 by Vince Staples and The Damned’s Damned Damned Damned? If you’ve heard either let me know.

How about you? What have you got? I’ve heard a bunch but not all.

That’s if you want to. I don’t want to commit you to anything time or wherewithal won’t allow for.
