The suspense is killing me!

acousticrock87 · 08.04.2008, 08:24 PM

I know seriously. This is great.

I was impatiently trying not to post anything in the midst, but secretly I wanted someone else to so I could.

demonrail666 · 08.04.2008, 08:24 PM

11 to 9:

At number 11 it's Sonic Youth's Sister

At number 10 we have Dinoasur Jr's You're Living All Over Me:

At number 9, It's Sonic Youth's Sonic Nurse

demonrail666 · 08.04.2008, 08:31 PM

Now, from 8 to 6:

At number 8, it's The Beatles' The Beatles (White Album)

And at number 7 it's Captain Beefheart's Trout Mask Replica

Yay! Sister was my #2, and these top ones are starting to dip into my top 20.

acousticrock87 · 08.04.2008, 08:34 PM

DDN at number 1? Possibly.

The Earl Of Slander · 08.04.2008, 08:34 PM

The 60s have arrived in style.

Indeed. I'm glad there's at least one Beatles album in the top 20.

demonrail666 · 08.04.2008, 08:38 PM

Now, from 5 to 3:

At number 5 it's Sonic Youth's Evol

While at number 4 it's Sonic Youth's Bad Moon Rising

And at number 3 it's The Velvet Underground and Nico

Sonic Youth 37 · 08.04.2008, 08:40 PM

I called the top 3, sayin'

The Earl Of Slander · 08.04.2008, 08:40 PM

If I were to name my top 3 albums from the 60s it would actually be 8-6, in that order. Bizarre. WL/WH was my number 2.

demonrail666 · 08.04.2008, 08:42 PM

The second greatest album ever in the history of the world, according to members of the Sonic Youth Gossip messageboard is ...

My Bloody Valentine's Loveless

The Earl Of Slander · 08.04.2008, 08:43 PM

Oh, more appear to have arrived while I was typing. Well, assuming DDN is in the top 2, it's nice to see my top 2 Sonic Youth albums in the top 5 (DDN, Evol). Also while i do prefer WL/WH, Nico totally deserves to be there. I'm now fairly sure that 2 of my top five (Pink Moon and Kind Of Blue) won't be making an appearance though.

demonrail666 · 08.04.2008, 08:44 PM

Which means that the greatest album ever ... officially ... according to the SY Gossip Site is, of course:

Sonic Youth's Daydream Nation

The Earl Of Slander · 08.04.2008, 08:44 PM

I really need to stop posting mid list and ending up behind the times. Shutting up now.

The Earl Of Slander · 08.04.2008, 08:46 PM

Not bad, not bad. For me the biggest surprise has to be no Pixie's, and the lack of Dylan is also a tad odd, but that still has to count as a top 20 that's more representative of my tastes than any I've seen voted on before.
