if I don't give you a hard time for this I expect you to not give me a hard time for feeling the same way about nate ruess
It wasn't on my list, but genuinely surprised Nearer My God wasn't higher on the list. Also, Jeff Buckley deserved better
I forgot to participate in this, but I now see that most of my contributions most likely would have been completely drowned out, so I feel better. My number one would have been Illmatic, so I'm pleasantly surprised that it made the list so convincingly.
I'm on about 45/50 albums in the 200 posted so far. And only about 10/15 are actually on my list. I have a feeling most of mine are in the lower half of the table haha
Out of the top 100 I haven't heard: MCR - The Black Parade Jason Isbell - Southeastern Tegan and Sara - The Con Converge - Jane Doe
The Con is an odd nickname for Converge, but I agree. Listen to Converge. And only Converge. Converge.
From the top 100, I haven't heard (I think); Lorde - Melodrama The Format - Dog Problems The Dangerous Summer - Reach for the Sun Paramore - After Laughter Mewithoutyou - Brother, Sister Coheed and Cambria - In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth The Weakerthans - Reconstruction Site Saves the Day - Stay Where You Are Charli XCX - Pop 2 Some of these I may have listened to once, as I recognise they were popular bands on AP - but I can't really recall for sure. Looking forward to checking some out from the big list!
Haven't heard a lot of the top 100. I've always thought it odd that I never listed to My Chemical Romance as it did grow up in its heyday. Though those were the days all that got me into new music was word of mouth by my buddies who never listened to them either or openers at concerts I went to.
I just went back and listened to the first MCR joint and liked it. Three Cheers was a big one for me when I was younger. Grew out of them before the Black Parade came out, I’ll listen eventually
Southeastern is, for my money, one of the 4-5 pinnacle songwriting achievements of the past decade. Listen to "Cover Me Up" and "Elephant."
What I haven't heard from the top 100: Kanye West - My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy Nas - Illmatic The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds Kanye West - Yeezus Prince - Purple Rain Modest Mouse - The Moon and Antarctica Deftones - White Pony David Bowie - The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust Madvillain - Madvillainy Nick Drake - Pink Moon Wu-Tang Clan - Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) Kendrick Lamaar - Good Kid, M.A.A.D City Charli XCX - Pop 2 Outkast - Aquemini Hip-hop classics are obviously a big area I've overlooked.
Not gonna bother listing what I haven’t heard from the top 100 because it’s 45 albums lol mostly scene stuff though
there were only three in the top 100 i haven’t heard the second julien baker the weakerthans joint the spanish love songs one
