B. Brian Brunzell 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2004 What are the ***** albums that you all own. I'm not talking about albums that you like and listen to because they're popular at the moment, I'm, talking albums that most critics and any real fan of music would rate at the ***** level. Mine: Kind of Blue- Miles Davis London Calling- The Clash Exile on Main Street- The Rolling Stones The Low-End Theory- A Tribe Called Quest The Final Cut- Pink Floyd The Wall- Pink Floyd Disintegration- The Cure: I know some will disagree with me on this one, but I think it's a perfect album. There may be one or two more, but I'll have to look through my collection. Those are just one off of the top of my head. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Coffey Report post Posted May 10, 2004 Well, it's hard to say what other people would rate at five star. Everyone has different opinions and tastes. Not to mention people whom write for publications have to worry about not pissing off too many people. There are very few CD's that I own that I can listen to from beginning to end without wanting to skip at least one of the songs. Especially if it's an older CD where I've heard the singles from it thousands of times. A few CD's that I can't fathom every getting tired of however are (excluded "Greatest Hits" albums): Pearl Jam ~ Ten Stone Temple Pilots ~ Core Nirvana ~ Nevermind Pink Floyd ~ Dark Side of the Moon Candlebox ~ Candlebox Guns N' Roses ~ Appetite for Destruction Green Day ~ Dookie Soundgarden ~ Superunknown Live ~ Throwing Copper Creed ~ My Own Prison Seether ~ Disclaimer Metallica ~ Black Album The Offspring ~ Smash Collective Soul ~ Hints, Allegations & Things Left Unsaid I couldn't give a shit less what other people think about my favorite CD's. If someone else thinks what I listen to is garbage, then odds are I probably hate their tastes too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Henry Spencer 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2004 The Final Cut- Pink Floyd I know very few who would consider this album a five star one. As for me, um, a lot. I don't have time to go and count right now, but I have copious amounts of Velvet Underground, Bob Dylan, Beatles, and Miles Davis albums, all four artists who are known for hitting the ***** mark with alarming frequency.

Your Paragon of Virtue 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2004 I am one of those that will disagree with you on The Cure - Disintegration, as I picked it up expecting greatness and was sorely disappointed. As for my picks: Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation Pixies - Bossanova, Doolittle, Come on Pilgrim and Surfer Rosa The Smiths – The Queen Is Dead, Meat Is Murder, Nirvana – Nevermind Radiohead – The Bends and OK Computer There are probably a lot more, but I’m going by what other would call ***** albums. While I really don’t go by star ratings, if I were to do so I’d have a much higher standard. I’m of the thought process that a ***** album means it’s perfect, and that you like it for personal reasons in addition to its technical merits. Doolittle would probably be it for me, or maybe Siamese Dream, which many would say is a ***** album as well. The Queen Is Dead too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

godthedog 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2004 This thread is so subjective, and the masses ideas of great albums is erroneous. can't use "subjective" and "erroneous" in the same sentence and have them both mean anything. i'm not even sure something like Revolver is really the flawless 5 star record its labelled as. interesting. although i wouldn't call 'revolver' my favorite, i'd argue that, moreso than probably any other album, it is just about flawless. anyway, from my collection... rolling stones: 'sticky fingers', 'exile on main street' beatles: 'abbey road', 'revolver', the white album, 'sgt pepper', 'rubber soul', 'a hard day's night' jimi hendrix: electric ladyland, 'are you experienced?' ween: 'the pod' miles davis: 'kind of blue', 'sketches of spain', 'bitches brew', 'in a silent way' john coltrane: 'a love supreme', 'ascension' nirvana: 'nevermind' sarah mclachlan: fumbling towards ecstasy beastie boys: 'paul's boutique' pink floyd: 'the wall' bob dylan; 'blonde on blonde', 'highway 61 revisited', 'blood on the tracks' the italicized ones are the "canonical" 5-star albums that i also think are around 5 stars. the plain ones are in the canon, but i don't really agree with. the bold ones are considered 5-star by me, but not by the canon.
