91. My Morning Jacket - Z Aside from a couple disappointing successors, Z solidifies My Morning Jacket as one of the best jam bands to come out in our generation, or at least mine. Some tracks create a very atmospheric wash of keyboards, while others suck you into their guitar solos. A very great balance of obscurity and accessibility.

92. 16 Horsepower - Folklore (2002) i certainly think that more albums by this band will end up on this before we reach 1001....but i can honestly say....and this being a huge fan of this band for many years.....their final studio album is....in my opinion their best what's interesting is it contains only 4 original songs....tow fairly recent covers....and four civil war era folk covers....it also contains in my opinion their greatest song writing (Hutterite Mile) and their greatest performance (The Outlaw Song) While i do not think this is the greatest introduction to this band....i do think this is their greatest album this is as bleak as it will ever get the music is simple...but well composed the lyrics are the deepest darkest parts of all of our souls this album is a must for all people interested in the tradition of folk and really of the darker side of the human condition |

93. - Current 93 - All The Pretty Little Horses (1996) hhhhhmmmmmm Current 93 is by far one of my favorite bands (artists) this being the first of the "Inmost Light" series.....it is among my favorite albums of all times you will never hear another vocalist like David Tibet...he really is something so unique that his voice alone will either cause heaven in you or absolute hell....or if you are lucky both for me both is here....all of my misanthropic hatred blanketed with my love of people every birthday i have....the first thing i do is listen to this album i do think this is a perfect introduction to Current 93....the music is whirling and beautiful yet jarring....the lyrics range from insane to sublimely philosophical why can't we all just walk away |

1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die Published in 2005 by Cassell Illustrated.
Is the list for the members of MusicBanter or is it a list against all prior lists by excluding albums & artist who make it into other lists? I thought it was cool that I saw Minor Threat and War mentioned. I didn't care if they made our list and another published list. I've read what duga & norg had to say. I don't think we have to worry about bumping off, trimming or excluding albums until we reach 1,001 albums. And if we ever do exceed 1,001 albums, instead of deleting albums off the list, we should split it onto two 1.) albums that MB members agree should be on Cassell Pub. 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die and 2.) MusicBanter's Addendum to the 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die, which would be albums that are not found on 1001 AYMHBYD. edit: So to leave room for more albums and to avoid having someone album taken off the list. But then again they are already numbered and accounted for. idk

I think what he's trying to say is that the MB list shouldn't be too much of a rehash of the other 1001 list. Though in all honesty, it wasn't a bad list to begin with. That being said, there's plenty of wonderful albums out there that never made it on for one reason or another (especially from the 80's onward).
I've made it a point to pick albums I think do something special within their little musical corner of the room. Usually they mean something to me in a personal / emotional sense too, but not always. Since we've all been following that line of thought so far in our respective postings, what albums wouldn't technically qualify for the MB list so far that have been posted?

I think it is interesting to note that "we've" been following that line of thought that the albums nominated shouldn't appear on Robert Dimery's only about 85% of the time, as of now. Honestly I am curious what it would be like if no one payed attention to that list and just post the albums they liked, only to see how much we have in common. I'm guessing if there is going to be an unwritten rule enforced I guess the percentage would be much lower. I'm not a fan of posting obscure for the sake of being obscure or mentioning albums that one does not like but guesses other will. I am only curious what other people like regardless of rules - whether other may or may not like the choice. I was going to mention Gang of Four - entertainment! and Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures but scratch that rehash. And I was going to mention ex-Girl - Back to the Mono Kero but I am almost positive that made some kinda list in Japan.

why would you assume people are posting obscure albums just to look cool, rather than simply liking them?
ps the 3 albums I posted are not on the original 1001 list apparently, and wow who woulda thought theyre actually albums I love. crazy, I know. |
