Yr top five LP favorites?

Sheriff Rhys Chatham · 07.08.2006, 08:53 PM

I was thinking about it yesterday and with more music it gets much harder to decide, so it comes down to which has the most influence on my music styles. So for now atleast mine are:

Glenn Branca - Symphonys 8 & 10 (the mysteries)
Derek bailey - Ballads
John Fahey - Legend of blind joe death
Sonic youth - Bad moon rising
John coltrane - The ascension (my first jazz album I didnt bootleg.)

The glenn branca altered by playing style when it came to playing free music with certain tunings. Derek bailey influenced the way I played completely. John fahey lead me to trying more tunings for practical reasons. Sonic youth lead me to more tunings. And the coltrane influenced by interest in jazz and freejazz music. Rhys chatyham would be no.6

drrrtyboots · 07.08.2006, 10:52 PM

Didn't we just do a top 10 a little while ago?

As of...always:

1. Sonic Youth - Sister
2. Unwound - Leaves Turn Inside You
3. Mission of Burma - Vs. (but i've been listening to the obliterati like twice a day, seeing burma on friday!!)
4. Fugazi - The Argument
5. My Bloody Valentine - Loveless

nomadicfollower · 07.08.2006, 10:57 PM

As of now, in no order:

Jesus Lizard - Goat
Six Finger Sattellite - Severe Exposure
Lightning Bolt - Wonderful Rainbow
MF Doom - Special Herb, Vols. 1 & 2
Rapeman - Two Nuns and a Pack Mule

Yes the MF Doom does seem out of place, but I've been listening to it alot, so I guess it would be considered a favorite.

HaydenAsche · 07.08.2006, 11:05 PM

Right now:

Xiu Xiu - Life and Live
Cat Power - The Greatest
Sufjan Stevens - A Sun Came!
Antony and the Johnsons - I Am A Bird Now
Yellow Swans - Psychic Successions

Style · 07.08.2006, 11:07 PM

Sonic Youth-Daydream Nation
My Bloody Valentine-Loveless
Lush-Gala
King Crimson-Court of the Crimson King
Vincent Gallo-When

krastian · 07.09.2006, 04:34 PM

It'd be like pulling teeth narrowing it down to 5.....plus I didn't even have any SY albums on that list and no more than one album each from my favorite bands....to hard I tell ya.

Rob Instigator · 07.10.2006, 10:04 AM

Daydream Nation - Sonic Youth
Green Mind - Dinosaur Jr
Slanted & Enchanted - Pavement
The Beatles - The beatles
Lawnboy - Phish

gmku · 07.10.2006, 10:28 AM

Fugazi - Rpeater
Sonic Youth - SYR 4 Goodbye 20th Century
The Modern Lovers (s/t)
No New York compilation
Mars - Complete 1977-1978 NYC Studio Recordings

(They're all vinyl, too, making them even greater. The Mars packaging is so pretty. The Lovers thing is a reissue gatefold with the high school dance poster art inside the cover. The liner notes for No New York are all in Russian.)

screamingskull · 07.10.2006, 10:52 AM

mine changes all the time but at the moment it is

1. Elliott Smith - From a basement on the hill
2. Sonic Youth - Daydream nation
3. The Flaming Lips - Clouds taste metalic

i cant choose another 2 without repeating a band or musician. all of my favourite albums are by those bands.

jon boy · 07.10.2006, 10:58 AM

at the moment my five favouriye lumps of vinyl are:

earth 2

up rock narratives and vocal studies
spasm smash xxxoxoxx

toxic johnny · 07.10.2006, 11:39 AM

Live At The Witch Trials - The Fall
Radio Ethiopia - Patti Smith Group
Metal Box - Public Image Ltd
s/t - The Raincoats
Metal Machine Music - Lou Reed

gmku · 07.18.2006, 09:38 AM

I love Exile. I have a UK vinyl pressing from the 70s. Back then, the Brits were making much nicer vinyl than pressing plants in the states. It was very clean and heavy, much like the 180-gram stuff now. I still have all the postcards that came with it.

I love Horses.

I love all the stuff in your top 5, Cantankerous.

Hip Priest · 07.18.2006, 09:47 AM

Sonic Youth - Murray Street
The Fall - The Infotainment Scan
Horace Silver - Blowin the Blues Away

Thats definitely my top three.
