How Many Have you Got? (jazz, albums, doors, miles davis)

jackhammer · 10-25-2008, 02:17 PM

This is the RYM top 100 compiled from the users preferences. So it has a lot more merit to me than a typical Rolling Stone magazine 100.

Question is: how many of them do you own? Do you agree with the list? I own 47 of them and maybe want another 20 of those. The rest don't appeal to me. Is Wu Tangs 36 chambers the best Hip Hop album? Is Ok Computer really top 10 material? discuss.

I have 61 of them, 63 if I were to steal Abbey Road & Sgt Pepper off my sister.

If I had any interest in Jazz I would probably own almost all of them.

Since it's user preference, isn't it 100% popularity. A lot of those albums are way too high. I have 28 of them probably want another 10-15 more off that list. A TON of Jazz on that list that I don't have (like ^ said).

Yeah I don't have a lot of Jazz except some Miles Davis and Charlie Mingus. Nice to see my favourite Iron Maiden in there too

I've never used RYM all that much other than to check facts...(album releases, year etc.)
Out of that list, i own like 20 or so and another 15 more downloaded(if that counts). I don't mind listening to Jazz, but It's not something i could listen to forever. Hmm, interesting, I've never actually visited RYM all time charts till now.(damit, i don't even have an account there yet)

I have to. Just easier to keep a check on what i have etc. My album list is in my sig.

I own 94 of them, dont have the classical ones.

Although I totally disagree with the list I like it a lot more than other lists posted around the net. I do love RYM, it's a great site.

Wu Tang Clan, no thanks, nowhere near it's deserved place. OK Computer is too high also.

Demonoid · 10-25-2008, 03:59 PM

I guess it does help a lot.
The list doesn't seem all that bad tbh.(much better than most other lists)
From a personal point of view, I'll definitely disagree with it. I own a lot more than what i listed just above. It's just that some stuff like Neutral Milk Hotel or Velvet Underground or even The Doors don't appeal much for me.

RoemerMW · 10-25-2008, 04:02 PM

I own 41 of them, and I want the rest. I used to own about 80 of them, but I lost all of my music a while back when my hard drive crashed.

It's nice to see Wu-Tang, Nick Drake, My Bloody Valentine, Pixies, The Smiths, Blood on the Tracks, Nas, Townes Van Zandt, Liquid Swords, and the Zombies getting more recognition than usual. Kid A should be way higher.
