Why's everything in fours? Is this some kind of league division table? If so I think T.rex and Television could be in division A.

 

Does this mean Sgt. Pepper gets a minus 1?

 

1. Pet sounds (beach boys)
2. Smile sessions (beach boys)
3. Skeletal lamping (of montreal)
4. Wish you were here (pink floyd)
5. Illinois (sufjan stevens)
6. Innerspeaker (tame impala)
7. Rubber soul (beatles)
8. Forever changes (love)
9. Satanic panic in the attic (of montreal)
10. Classics (ratatat)
11. Master of puppets (metallica)
12. Weezer "blue" (weezer)
13. London calling (clash)
14. Doors (doors)
15. Age of adz (sufjan stevens)
16. Meddle (pink floyd)
17. Is this it (strokes)
18. Moon & antarctica (modest mouse)
19. Lonerism (tame impala)
20. Congratulations (mgmt)

Not sure if this is the exact order, or actually my favorites, but this is what I could think of off the top of my head.

 

Already thinking of things id change. I might replace moon and antarctica with in the aeroplane over the sea by neutral milk hotel

 

@mr.datsun
Hi..I did not intend to create league division table !I don't know why I did that (for clarity maybe)
the ranking is only chronological..

 

And i didnt put velvet underground & nico in here or and david bowie, geez...

 

a-ha Scoundrel Days
The Beatles Abbey Road
Kate Bush Hounds of Love
Depeche Mode Songs of Faith and Devotion

Queen Queen II
Bruce Springsteen The Wild, the Innocent & The E Street Shuffle
The Smiths The Queen Is Dead
Sparks Propaganda
The Stone Roses The Stone Roses
The Who Who's Next

Ha ha. Just pulling your leg. I love this table stuff and I love that albums and bands have become the football league teams of the modern world.

 

In no particular order:

- Alive! (Kiss)
- Live And Dangerous (Thin Lizzy)
- Moving Pictures (Rush)
- Back In Black (AC/DC)
- The Dark Side Of The Moon (Pink Floyd)
- Crime Of The Century (Supertramp)
- Nightflight To Venus (Boney M.)
- Time Out (The Dave Brubeck Quartet)
- Giant Steps (John Coltrane)
- Discipline (King Crimson)
- Hot Rats (Frank Zappa)
- Paranoid (Black Sabbath)
- Van Halen S/T
- Boston S/T
- Never Turn Your Back On A Friend (Budgie)
- Made In Japan (Deep Purple)
- Appetite For Destruction (Guns N' Roses)
- Led Zeppelin IV
- Oxygène (Jean-Michel Jarre)
- Ace Frehley (1978 solo album)

I intentionally chose only one album per artist (just in case, while Ace Frehley's solo album was marketed as a Kiss album, it really isn't).

 

btw. when are we going to see the results? I want to see if there's been a shift at Hoffman forum since the last few years.
