I think we should totally do this. Each person gets to vote for 5 or 6 of their favorite albums, then i will go through and make a bracket with seedings of each album depending on the amount of votes it gets. Then i will create a bracket with the albums and we will have another round of voting until the winner is chosen...

I will start:


1. My Aim is True - Elvis Costello

2. The Low End Theory - A Tribe Called Quest

3. Meriweather Post Pavillion - Animal Collective

4. Bringing It All Back Home - Bob Dylan

5. Forever Changes - Love

6. This Years Model - Elvis Costello




Just post your albums like I did. Then we will really know what the best album ever is, and no one can dispute it!!!!!

I completey disagree with your Elvis Costello and your Collective choice. They have 2 good songs on the whole MPP album. Just because it's your fave now, doesn't mean its a best of all time.

Bob D - Live '75 Rolling Thunder Revue

Hendrix - Live at Woodstock

Jeff Buckley - Live at Sin-e [legacy edition] - only way to go.

Donovan - Fairytales and Colours

Love - Forever Changes

He's just not that good in my opinion. I've tried to listen, I really have - and his lyrics are good, but he just never clicked for me. Not enough emotion I guess. Plus I really hate hipsters, and becuase Costello fashion is on the rise, it's bad enough that I don't like him that much to begin with.

I like rawer, less processed albums. Everyones got a different style, but at least you like Love. Forever Changes is a great album.

Between the Buried and Me - Colors

And I actually agree, it was by far last year's best metal album, and one of the most creative and awesome metal albums I think I've ever heard.  I think it should go down in history for changing what a metal album can be, actually.
