Thanks, Austin.
The one problem with this kind of list making for me is that I keep forgetting a couple of albums that I love and play a lot but slip through my mind at times when it's time to corral them. But I should have it down pat by now after the umpteenth edit.

great list man .. excellent choices and tastes! btw I didn't know you for a Stephen Stills fan.. I thought I was the only one here. You didn't include the Manassas album.. his absolute masterpiece? Didn't connect with you? in fact... that is my first B-Day album of the day... |

Thanks, man! I also saw some great albums in your list which I haven't included. I'll let you know soon. As for Steven Stills, I'm still going through his discography and I don't know Manassas yet, or just a bit. It was not so long ago since I realized that from Crosby Stills Nash & Young it was Steven Stills whose music I liked most. I tried out his first solo album and loved it. I let some of it listen to my friends and they were impressed too. I listened to side 1 of Manassas on Spotify and really loved the first track, an absolute killer track, but I have to check out the rest to see if I like the whole double album. Because a month and a half ago someone started summer madness polls on the site and I listen to practically nothing else right now than the music in the polls  But Manassas is high on my list, but if I hear you, I can just buy it. |

Great list! Good to see you appreciate Outlaws. A friend of mine introduced me to them. Jefferson Airplane has also quite some good stuff! Astral Weeks by Van Morrison is also very good, a unique album. Bookends by S&G doesn't reach the 30 minutes mark, but it's also very good. I completely forgot S&F in my own list. Interesting to see that you chose Shootout At The Fantasy Factory in your list. That one is also very good and seems a bit overlooked. But then again, when did Traffic make a bad album? Oh, you made a little mistake BTW, nr. 39 en 41 are the same album (Ummagumma). Very diverse list!

thanks Marcel. Strange. I find the non-prog albums people love to be FAR more interesting. Especially as few bother or can rank them. To see how prog albums fare against non-prog in well rounded listener's overall preference. I love prog.. but I am far from being a prog fan. I love all kinds of music. I just hang out here for the free booze and broads.
awesome...thanks for the catch. It gives me an excuse to put 101 on the list I was very happy with my list.. zero edits.. in composition and placement.. yet you did have one I likely did overlook that should have been in mine. Edited by micky - July 25 2015 at 09:36 |

oh yeah.. Traffic didn't make a single bad album. The title track and Tragic Magic were enough to push that into the top 100. Some serious flat out heavy proggin on the title track and Rebop is frickin awesome on that.. and Tragic Magic is one of those songs best appreciated with alone in a darkened room with a beautiful lady

YeahInteresting choices though. My favorite tracks are the three others that you didn't mention. Quite crazy about them. But Tragic Magic and SOATFF are very good too. It must be a good album then. All the tracks are somebody's favorite. |

This is well done.  I would struggle at doing 50 top albums for myself. We all can't be captain MICKEY and whip up a list in 15min. Over my years loving and appreciating music, slapping definitives on your music is difficult because it's so mood based; however we all have our staples or go to bands that we have as a Mainstay. I think your ship David, looks amazing. |

Awesome to see Caress of Steel on someone's list, one of my favorite Rush albums!  Also, 'Let There Be Rock' is one of the greatest hard rock albums ever made.

amen brother!!!!
in fact... I need to pick my next album.. Let There Be Rock it shall be...oh sh*t.. Raff just went down for a nap and one can NOT play that album, agreed one the greatest rock albums ever made, and not have the amp on less than 10.that goes later! I do love Caress of Steel... a guilty pleasure. Of course it is not their best.. but who cares about best... it is what connects.. and what one enjoys.. the campy Rush was so much more enjoyable than serious proggers they soon be... or respectable AOR/Arena Rock Rush and MTV darlings they become famous for being.Edited by micky - July 25 2015 at 11:46 |

oh yeah.. no ..it wouldn't have made the top 100 if the other tracks wouldn't have been great. Roll Right Stones is ..well.. as good as anything earlier they did Evening Blue has a vibe... a vibe I can't place on anything they did on any other album. Pure Magic. the only reason it wasn't higher than where I had it was the flat and (hahaha) uninspired closing track from the album |

Thanks. I went with strictly rock albums for this list in order to save time compiling. If I were to add non-rock albums, it would've taken seriously longer and would be far more convoluted. So, no Djangology, Muddy Waters at Newport 1960, Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison (or San Quentin, for that matter), Gershwin: Rhapsody in Blue and Piano Concerto, J.S. Bach: Goldberg Variations (Glenn Gould), etc.

I dig your ship too Nick. Beautiful mast if you don't mind me saying so. Damn......just saw that my list is without Michael Jackson's Thriller and this little maniac of an album:  As already mentioned by the both of us - this kind of list making is impossible. Music is never set in stone with me - certainly not in terms of my enjoyment of it. As an example: I simply LOVE Trout Mask Replica - I really do....but it's not a record I enjoy at 8 in the morning following a night of whiskey and smack. My tastes change on a daily basis, and in the end I have a lot of difficulty in determining "the best" in music. -I mean, I wouldn't know how to compare a Bob Dylan release to say Henry Cow or Gong for that matter. Sure it's all music - just like raw potatoes and seals are food....but how do you compare the two when it's obvious they're so far apart? It's still fun to do these lists (if you've got the time), because they remind you of all the hidden treasures in your collection and sometimes even encourages you to visit an old friend. |

Here's a fairly fluid list of Rock, Prog Rock, Pop and Folk which changes every time I look at it:

The original post list is freakily close to what mine would look like if I got around to making one. Great taste!

Hey Iluvmarillion, your list is also great!
Glad to see almost the same Split Enz albums in your list (Second Thoughts, mentioned by me, is a reworked version of Mental Notes). Do you also like Corroboree like I do? |
