This is getting interesting. I'm not too concerned about Prince being overly represented. Outside the obvious choices, I don't think there'll be that many votes for Around the World or The Rainbow Children.
I think Prince fans may just have the most diverse tase in music of any fans. 25 is a tough choice, I've seen some that I may have to reconsider--Stand and Electric Ladyland most obviously. My Legacy

Ok, I was really kidden.. but im gonna flip if I see NEWS or The Black Album in that top fifty list...  Yeah, but when somebody's list is nothing but Prince, I say disqualified!  | |

Sdldawn said: RipHer2Shreds said: Yeah, but when somebody's list is nothing but Prince, I say disqualified! It actually really shows how prolific he is though.  I mean, damn that's a hell of a lot of albums from one man. That someone could actually even fill their whole list of 25 albums with everything by ONE artist. 
I guess I just take for granted how much that man just lives in the studio. And I'm on a PRINCE site too!  "I saw a woman with major Hammer pants on the subway a few weeks ago and totally thought of you." - sextonseven | |

Anx said: since you're giving these each one point, i'm not listing my 25 in order of how much i like them, but rather how much i remember obsessing over them throughout my life. some of these albums i'm completely burnt out on...some of them are still part of my daily diet:
1. Purple Rain - Prince 2. The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars - David Bowie 3. Home of the Brave - Laurie Anderson 4. Tiger Bay - Saint Etienne 5. Speaking in Tongues - Talking Heads 6. Xanadu - Soundtrack 7. Hounds of Love - Kate Bush 8. Are You Experienced? - Jimi Hendrix Experience 9. White Album - The Beatles 10. Duckstab - The Residents 11. Without You I'm Nothing - Sandra Bernhard 12. Emperor Tomato Ketchup - Stereolab 13. Goo - Sonic Youth 14. Nevermind - Nirvana 15. OK Computer - Radiohead 16. Live Through This - Hole 17. The Downward Spiral - Nine Inch Nails 18. Dewdrops in the Garden - Deee-Lite 19. Disintegration - The Cure 20. The Sky's Gone Out - Bauhaus 21. Low - David Bowie 22. Come - Prince 23. Sign 'O' the Times - Prince 24. Parade - Prince 25. Hunky Dory - David Bowie I tried to keep the list diverse and free of too much Prince and Bowie, but who am I trying to kid?
[Edited 6/3/06 6:21am] All I ever heard from DeeLite was Groove Is In The Heart which I absolutely love. I really need to hear more of them. Is that song typical of their style? I'm hoping it's not a Sinead O' Connor situation where you try to get into her then realise the only song you like is Nothing Compares 2U. | |

Anx said: endorphin74 said: alright that was really hard!
I tried to push myself to not just think of my current faves. Therefore albums like NIN and the Femmes made this list at the expense of others I listen to much more frequently. But those are albums that really changed MY world and the way I listened to music. And, they had a pretty big impact on the music world itself. Although they are overplayed, I will admit when I do get inspired to put either of these back in the player, they hold up QUITE well. And, I HATE that I have no Dolly on my list. But, I didn't really want to put "Dolly Parton, Greatest hits vol 1 published by Columbia in 1984" or something like that  She has SO many hits packages it that it's near impossible now to find many of her classic albums in original format. And, while I LOVE her recent Bluegrass work, none of those quite merit this list. So yeah, while Dolly may not be on my list, I'd like to just give HER 100 points  i feel the same way about some of my favorite artists...i have so many SONGS of theirs i like, but i can't sum it up in one album. That's one of the main things stopping me doing a list. That and me being a lazy bastard. | |

I'm hoping it's not a Sinead O' Connor situation where you try to get into her then realise the only song you like is Nothing Compares 2U. if you like "groove is in the heart", then "dewdrops in the garden" will BLOW YOU AWAY. it's like a hyper-steroided-jacked-up version of their first album. it's the best showcase of kier kirby's amazing voice (back then, anyway), and the music simply doesn't let up. even the mid-tempo mellow numbers kick ass. if you like dance music of any kind, i think this album is essential.

http://www.soundclick.com...dID=182431 jimi's in my list...please don't turn my head to lasagna!
i nearly included "axis: bold as love" instead of "are you experienced?", but "manic depression" and "third stone from the sun" are just way too incredible, even though i have a soft spot for "axis". [Edited 6/3/06 16:17pm] | |

I limited my choices to 1 per artist. And you know me, I love all his studio releases. Although AYE? is one of the most amazing musical debuts in history, I went with what was his creative zenith in the studio. tA Tribal Disorder

Not to change the rules too much, but I was thinking that I should multiply the points by the number of lists an album appears on.
It seems an album that appears at #25 on 25 different lists (25 points) should rank higher than an album that appears at #1 on 1 list (25 points). That way individuals' ranking matters but so does a little agreement on our part. Any thoughts? My Legacy

Or maybe (since it's going to be top 50) #1 should be given 50 points and #25 should be given 26.
That way one vote for Britney Spears at #1 (1 x 50 = 50) would be outweighed by three votes for Marvin Gaye at #25 (3 x 26 = 78) rather than Britney #1 (1 x 25 = 25) and Marvin #25 (3 x 1 = 3). Any math majors here? I don't want anyone to think the results are unfair. Biased, maybe, but not unfair. My Legacy
