What I enjoy about these lists is searching on Deezer for the many albums I've not heard before and streaming them through my Sonos, Peachtree music system. Fun!

 

if you only wish to vote for 1, 3, 8, 10 or 17 that`s OK. However I will ONLY accept your first list of nominations. So if you only nominate 5, then come back with another nomination for another 15, these later nominations will NOT be accepted.

Please! If you are going to nominate 20 albums please do it in your FIRST post. There is a reason for this, it is to stop anyone* voting more than once. Once someone votes they are registered as having voted and any further votes posted will not count even if your first post contained less than 20 nominations.

*nobody around here would attempt to vote more than once.........wouldn`t they?

 

Taken from my opening post;

`However I will ONLY accept your first list of nominations.`

Well, I have at least 60 top twenty albums, so it seems like I should vote three times at the very least.

 

The only way The Beatles won't take this is if Sgt. Pepper, The White Album and Abbey Road all make the poll and split the Fab Four vote, allowing Manowar to sneak past for the win.

 

Prince - Purple Rain
Prince - Sign O the Times
U2 - The Joshua Tree
Miles Davis - Kind of Blue
Dave Brubeck - Time Out
Beastie Boys- Paul's Boutique
R.E.M. - Automatic for the People

Otis Redding - Blue
Jimi - Are You Experienced
Frank Sinatra - in the Wee Small Hours of the Morning
Pixies -Doolittle
Elvis Costello - This Years Model

Bee Gees – Odessa
Mark Burgess and the Sons of God – Zima Junction
Belinda Carlisle – Runaway Horses
Chameleons – Strange Times
Elvis Costello – Imperial Bedroom
Dead Or Alive – Mad Bad And Dangerous To Know
England – Garden Shed
Genesis – From Genesis To Revelation

Moody Blues – To Our Children’s Children’s Children
Moody Blues – A Question of Balance
Pulp – Different Class
Bruce Springsteen – Born To Run
Status Quo – Picturesque Matchstickable Messages from …
Strawbs – Bursting At The Seams

 

Great stuff! Some real favourites on there

 

None of which stand a snowball's chance of making the list!

On a different day, I might have compiled a similar list with completely different titles!

 

Yeah, I went for more obvious "classics", but I think I own about 80-90% of your list on vinyl. Incredible stuff and right up my alley.

 

Sorry, impossible for me to ever think of my favorite 20... but more than glad to nominate 20 of my several all time favorites I can think off the top of my mind without investing 200+ hours in achieving my all time top 20. I am really glad to nominate the following

Oh snap! Reading through your list just reminded me that I need to pick that Erasmos Carlos LP up. I streamed it online earlier this year and was blown away by its awesomeness. So thanks for the reminder.
