Dire Straits - Communique
John Mayall - Blues from Laurel Canyon

To be honest I could almost fill the top 10 with Prince albums 🙂

So riduculously subjective it probably changes on a weekly basis but at the moment, again, in no particular order:

Love - Forever Changes
Massive Attack - Blue Lines
John Martyn - Solid Air
The Smiths - Queen is Dead
Stone Roses - Stone Roses
Mercury Rev - Deserters Songs
Television - Marquee Moon
Marvin Gaye - What's Going On
Neil Young - Harvest
Joy Division - Closer

If I could make it a top 15, I'd also include

Gram Parsons - Grievous Angel
The Clash - London Calling
Bob Dylan - Blood on the Tracks
Van Morrison - Astral Weeks
Curtis Mayfield - Superfly

I could easily add another 20 or 30 from those posted above!

It's like being 15 all over again...

...oh and I forgot to include a Fall album. Probably Extricate as that was the one they were plugging the first time I saw them live.

And I've got to include the Pogues too. Probably Rum, Sodomy and the Lash....

Oh dear. <brain explodes>

Maybe radio 1 and 2 play selections from the popular choices because, erm, they're great?

Maybe people weren't self-consciously picking obscure albums that would make them seem cool and mysterious?

Maybe, shock horror, it's okay to listen to albums that lots of other people also like?

Although I haven't seen much that radio 1 would be playing, have you listened to that station since DLT left? It's changed a bit...

Ahhhh, it's a niche thing... I've got loads of weird stuff I could add too with a couple of great tracks per album. But we're not talking about that kind of thing, are we 🙂

No no no, you're not allowed to like anything popular. The act of being popular fundamentally changes the music to make it less good.

Get with it!

(Come to think of it, it's a bit like some people on here with bikes...)

T Rex - The Slider
Sex Pistols - NmtBollocks
Stooges - Fun House
Gang of Four - Entertaiment
Underworld - Beaucoup Fish
Dinosaur Jr - Green Mind
Mos Def - The Ecstatic
Subtle - A New White
!!! - Louden Up Now
lets stick Bowie - Hunky Dory in there too.

I'd be very surprised to hear anything from this thread on Radio 1, and relatively little on Radio 2.
6Music, on the other hand...
I'm gonna have to give this a lot of thought, there are so many albums over so many years, trying to compile a list of my top ten is tricky.
Back in a bit... 😀

Looking at the "who's most popular" list, as well as being completely pointless, also throws up who splits the vote with more than one great album - multiple votes for different albums by The Clash, Massive Attack, Pink Floyd, The Doors, U2...

Not such a problem for the Stone Roses, for some reason...

Right, after some though, these are albums that, over the years, I've consistently returned to over and over again. Some were really difficult; Elbow, for example, because I love every one of their records, but I can go back to the first one I heard, their first, and never get tired of it. I could have included Maria McKee's [i]Life Is Sweet[/i], Donald Fagen, [i]The Nightfly[/i], Arcade Fire's [i]Funeral[/i], Eddi Reader's [i]Driftwood[/i], and Death Cab For Cutie's [i]Transatlanticism[/i].
Among others... 😀
Joni Mitchell - Blue
Goldfrapp - Felt Mountain
Kris Delmhorst - Song For A Hurricane
Emmylou Harris - Cowgirl's Prayer
Elbow - Asleep In The Back
Elvis Costello - All This Useless Beauty
Andrew Bird & The Mysterious Production Of Eggs
Paul Simon - Hearts and Bones
Shawn Colvin - A Few Small Repairs
Steely Dan - Aja

the other 9? well, I'll have to get back to you, far too many rattling around the ol' noggin' (but Blood on the Tracks might be next).

I've never really understood the fascination with Radiohead. But then I never understood the fascination with Reeves and Mortimer either, so I don't feel I'm missing much.

Edlong, I wasn't being serious when I asked someone to compile a list, you obviously have a lot of time on your hands, good effort though!

Wow. So I like MTBr music then? A fairly eclectic mix to be so widely shared. Except, of course, Plumber. Well done, haven't heard of
any of them!!!

Lots of the above, but including:

Talk Talk 'Spirit of Eden'
Tool 'Lateralus' (but the Holy Gift reorder, probably just because I first heard it as such, though it still seems that each track has more power in that order than the album release)
Steve Reich 'Music for 18 Musicians'
Marvin Gaye 'What's Goin On'
Stevie Wonder 'Innervisions'
Bert Jansch 'Jack Orion'
These United States - the debut with a massive name I can't be ****ed to type
Ani DiFranco - could be lots but probably the best produced is 'Educated Guess' or 'Reprieve'

any best of list is only until I think of more. I prefer 'first ten awesome albums to come into your mind'
