Consensus Top 350 Albums of All-Time: 180. Rust Never Sleeps – Neil Young and Crazy Horse (167 Viewers)

Purple – Stone Temple Pilots (Yo Mama ranked #14) (also received 1 point from ConstruxBoy)
This was the 3rd, and final, album from above that was on my original scratch pad, but didn't make it to the top 70. Interstate Love Song is timeless, Vasoline a classic, teenage MAC played the hell out of Unglued, some Lounge Fly too, and Pretty Penny is a top 5 STP song to my ears. Where I got stuck with this album is beyond them - I didn't remember them before this exercise, on follow up spin they still didn't grab me, and more than 5 songs were needed to make this list. Strong effort though.
 
396. The Dirty South – Drive-By Truckers (Dr. Octopus ranked #19) (also received 15 points from landry’s hat)

The DBT became my obsession a few years back and this album is a hidden gem, and one of the three albums from when Jason Isbell was in the band. I had two of their albums make my Top 70 with other finishing at 1,159th.

@KarmaPolice please use "Danko/Manuel" for the playlist.
 
Born – Kenny Chesney (Mac32 ranked #18)
Those that have participated in music drafts the last year, and read my posts, are as unsurprised to see my lofty ranking of this album as I am that this was a unique album of mine. It was released early 2024 and entered my ears at the right time in my life, a truly life-changing experience. I under-ranked several of them last year because I was unsure if they'd stand the test of time, but aged a year I'm increasingly confident they're sticking.

My play list contribution - the title track, Born (do I need to add), it starts off as a campfire sing-a-long then builds into a blow the doors off rock 'n roll banger
For those that willing to dabble with country I recommend This Too Shall Pass and Few Good Stories
For those not I recommend Thinkin' Bout and One More Sunset
For those about to rock - Long Gone
For those that covet mass consumption - Just To Say We Did and Take Her Home
And for those that want a good cry - Wherever You Are Tonight

Me? This is a cover-to-cover listen.

I also had this as 1 point don’t think it will matter in the final results though
 
447. Curtis – Curtis Mayfield (Don Quixote ranked #8)

I am surprised that I am the only vote for Curtis, but maybe another of Curtis Mayfield’s albums will show up on this list. The Middle-Aged Dummies here probably could have figured that he’d show up high for me (here’s my MAD playlist of my 31 favorite Mayfield songs, ordered 31-1).

Curtis was his first solo album after he left The Impressions. After all of his message songs with The Impressions, this album represented more of his anger about the failures of the civil rights movement, and moved away from some of the soul/R&B sounds of The Impressions to more of a funk sound. Lots of great songs on this album.

I had “(Don’t Worry) If There’s a Hell Below, We’re All Going to Go” (Spotify) #1 in my MAD playlist, and it is still my favorite with the grittier lyrics.

But @KarmaPolice , for the playlist here, I’ll go a bit more uplifting with the chalkier pick of “Move on Up” (Spotify). (ETA: Just added myself.)

Sorry I left you off, but yeah it wouldn't be enough to get it into the Top 353 anyway.
 
428. Live At Massey Hall – Neil Young (simey ranked #7)

476. Live at the Old Quarter – Townes Van Zandt (krista4 ranked #10)
I ranked Live at the Old Quarter #10, too. I love both live albums.
I see the issue, you listed as Live at the Old Quarter, Houston Texas and krista left out "Houston Texas".

I will correct and list a new album for krista. This may throw some numbers given out already off but since they didn't make the top 350 that shouldn't really matter.
I originally didn't have Houston Texas added to the title, but then added it so it wouldn't screw anything up. That ended up screwing it up. :biggrin: I left off 1971 at the end of my Live at Massey Hall title. I'm consistently inconsistent.
 
428. The Ghosts That Haunt Me – Crash Test Dummies (Barry2 ranked #7)
On this album you'll here guitars, piano, mandolin, banjo, accordion, cello, violin. Biggest single was Superman's Song. It has a really good cover of The Replacements track Androgynous.

Comin Back Soon (The Bereft Man's Song)

Mornings we have toast and tea
I gaze across the table, she glares right back at me
And when we're getting low on jam
I give her the last spoonful, that's just the way I am
And I drive her to work each day
Even though it's early and work is far away
And I don't even say a thing
When she plays the radio so loud you cannot think

I admittedly never heard anything from them other than that god-awful Mmm song. Should give them a longer listen.

This one was on my list but ultimately got whacked.
 
Are we adding songs to that playlist KP shared?
As far as i know its public, so people with access can add their own
I’m trying but no luck
It's not public
Well, ****
I think you have to choose to make it public.
There is a difference between public and collaborators. I think KP needs to go to share, select to invite collaborators, and copy the link.

If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

Controversy number three right there.
 
409. We’re An American Band – Grand Funk Railroad (Uruk Hai ranked #5)
I'm shocked - absolutely shocked. :-)
I knew it wouldn't make it, but I had to represent. I'm shocked my #4 apparently made it through.

Grand Funk was basically a bar band that hit the lottery. At one point in the early '70s, they were selling an album every 3 seconds without having hit singles. Critics hated them. The bass player was the only good musician in the band. Sales started to slow, though, so the record company brought Todd Rundgren in to produce and tone them up some. The result was this album. The title track hit #1 on the pop charts (an almost unthinkable accomplishment for this group a year before). It's their best LP, though there's another I like just as much.

Track Listing:


"We're an American Band"Don BrewerBrewer
"Stop Lookin' Back"Brewer, Mark FarnerBrewer
"Creepin'"FarnerFarner
"Black Licorice"Brewer, FarnerBrewer

Side one



"The Railroad"FarnerFarner
"Ain't Got Nobody"Brewer, FarnerFarner
"Walk Like a Man"Brewer, FarnerBrewer
"Loneliest Rider"FarnerFarner

Side two

Carbon Leaf's album Indian Summer is excellent and I've seen them a few times in concert...sad to say (for me) that they've tried to become more of a jam band, extending songs to 10-15 minutes or more.

I have never been a fan of jam bands. I know some people love them. Dead, Phish, Widespread Panic, MMJ, etc... but I want to hear the songs I like. Not endless improvising. No shade at people who love that, it just isn't for me.
 
I'm shocked my #4 apparently made it through.
It actually did not, My bad, it sits at 397.
Controversy #4!
So far they've been minor at least but I'm sure a big one is coming at some point.
No worries on my end. As I said, I was stunned to see that it may have made it above the cut. There are only one or two other drafters in this thread who may have even considered it, so I wasn't expecting much.
