Top 20 albums for you?

[Velcro Bottom]

i find the very idea of reducing my listening history to 20 favorites existentially terrifying

I can't even imagine trying.

I find Frank existentially terrifying.

Frank. Love. You.

This thread is awesome, you guys crack me up.

I keep wanted to add and subtract from my top 20 list, however its made me go and download a whole grip of new music and stuff I keep remembering that I really liked. I have also been revisiting some of my top 20 and keep remembering why I loved xyz album (Soundgarden so good )

[JTurbide]

No particular order and surely missing lot of stuff but a fast draft would include

- Miles Davis: Bitches Brew
- Ian Carr/Nucleus: We'll talk about it later
- Mike Westbrook: Love Songs
- Mike Westbrook Metropolis
- Guru Guru: Live (1978)
- MF DOOM - Operation Doomsday or Mm food
- Lilys - Aspera Ad Astra
- Stefano Torossi: Feelings
- Alessandro Alessandroni - Spontaneus or maybe A trip around the world
- Embryo : Rocksession
- Embryo : Surfin, or maybe Steig Haus
- Niagara: S.U.B
- Any classic Grateful Dead live show between 72 and 80 (europe 72, Cornell...)
B.O.C : Music has the right to children or the old tunes albums/mix
- Nas: Illmatic

Could probabpy throw in some Marc Moulin / Placebo, more Miles, nore Nucleus, maybe Herbie Hancock...

There is just too many mindblowing stuff.

Been also digging in some dnb/jungle stuff lately but mostly youtube compilations so I could not name a great album.

[MaxMaps]

so much good stuff in this thread.

MR Bungle and MF Doom on two lists

[qersty]

I find it insane trying to make a list like this but this is an obvious contender

NSFW: show

Also got a fun story. For years I had only listened to this and ALBUM. I bought American Grafishy blind when huntin' cheap CD's on online auctions. What a shitty album! What happened to his voice??
