Top 50 Albums Image • Page 14

I had this problem with Tegan and Sara's The Con and Sainthood when I was doing my own list and ended up having my partner do a quick photoshop of the two together lol. That's, like, the only reason I still might do one of these, because I feel bad I made them go through the effort just to not use that image.

 

A lot of my favs have fields on them, just realized

 

most influential hip hop album to my lifetime, really the first one I gave a real serious listen to that blew me away. still think it's a sprawling, maximalist, gorgeous masterpiece of a record that showcases the transformation of Kanye and his ego into what he has been this decade

 

no particular order, was really in what order I remembered them for the most part

 

I think it's the perfect distillation of Kanye, having Fergie Rihanna Cudi and Elton on the same song is the most Kanye thing ever

 

smashing pumpkins is good and all but Ive sometimes wondered what the big deal is

 

the run from gish to mellon collie is almost impossible to top

 

not including siamese dream was a major oversight on my part

 

yeah can't believe I forgot Yankee Hotel Foxtrot Odelay and Morning Glory

 

so a big part of it is that "first" nature?

 

i would say for me that's definitely a big part of it. every time i do go back to it it's magical to listen to as well, for the reasons i listed above. don't want to get into kanye rankings lol but yeezus is very close for that too, for a lot of very different reasons.

 

do other people like echoes of silence more than the weeknd's other albums? it's probably my least favorite.

 

2nd favorite for me pretty easily

 

I think you're probably on your own with that, I don't know anyone who would put Kiss Land or Beauty Behind the Madness above Echoes of Silence.

 

Most people would put house of balloons over it though

 

True, but he said EoS was his least favourite of the Weeknd's albums which is a weird opinion. Kiss Land is typically considered the worst

 

yeah, i know people don't like kiss land as much (which i still don't get), but i don't think i'd ever seen echoes of silence put ahead of house of balloons or thursday. the only thing i really go back to on it is "d.d.", but maybe i'll give it another listen later. i was just surprised to see that be the favorite.

 

well it's equally as strange to me that someone would think Kiss Land is better than EoS lol. Although I do enjoy KL very much

 

you know the answers you're going to get why do you ask every time? haha

 

I forgot to put Summertime '06 and Sprained Ankle on my list. Dammit

 

This was tough. Had to cut a lot out and the 3rd section is not in order at all (the second one barely is. it's a rough life. i cant make up my mind to save my life)

EDIT: I forgot All Time Low's Don't Panic ;-; it would be in Other Favorites. It's the only ATL record I revisit anymore and I really love the sequencing of that record. It had a huge part of my music development too

 

the only thing id change about my list is swap RFTS for War Paint
