they'll find a way...

― Andrzej B. (Andrzej B.), Wednesday, 16 June 2004 05:36 (twenty-two years ago)

am i the only one who would rather see individual lists? merging them all will make the results too predictable.

i wonder how many bowie albums will make the list. 3, 4? (i'm annoyed about their list already!)

a few of my guesses for the top 10-: london calling, unknown pleasures, exile on main st, ziggy (or a different bowie album), this year's model, marquee moon, ramones. maybe a stevie wonder album? PiL? patti smith? gang of four, future days and bryter layter for top 20.

― Michael Dubsky, Wednesday, 16 June 2004 07:42 (twenty-two years ago)

"If these predictions are accurate, Pitchfork has good taste. "

predictable, but good ; )

i wonder which neil young album will make the cut ..

― Michael Dubsky, Wednesday, 16 June 2004 12:19 (twenty-two years ago)

No Curtis Mayfield?!

― Jonathan (Jonathan), Wednesday, 16 June 2004 13:20 (twenty-two years ago)

There will be at least one Pink Floyd album, possibly the previously mentioned WYWH. If there are two albums, one will rank better than 40 and the other will be in the 70s.

― mike h. (mike h.), Wednesday, 16 June 2004 13:26 (twenty-two years ago)

There are sure to be a few McGuffins sprinkled about. I predict Boz Scaggs' Silk Degrees pops up somewhere in the middle.

― briania (briania), Wednesday, 16 June 2004 13:31 (twenty-two years ago)

DSOTM will be 12th

― Michael Dubsky, Wednesday, 16 June 2004 13:56 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't see either Tusk or Paris 1919 on this list? I'm guessing that at least one of those, if not both, will make the cut.

― Charlie Rose (Charlie Rose), Wednesday, 16 June 2004 14:24 (twenty-two years ago)
