Top 100 Albums

Circle Takes The Square's "As The Roots Undo" belongs up there.




I'm suprised its not #2, but even more suprised that something by Elliott Smith isn't #1.
 
They're two defining hip-hop albums and way more important than Illmatic.



I consider Astral Weeks to be more important.



I debated putting him at nuraber 1, Woody Guthrie is undeniably the most important folk artist ever, and folk is also undeniably one of the most important genres ever.



I'll leave the non-bolded ones up for debate than put them in appropriate slots if they make it.

The bolded ones i'll put in a to be added category, and i'll add it during my next revision I suppose, or just stick them in place whenever and not bother re-doing the whole thing.

To start the debate:

Nirvana im so-so about, I don't consider Nevermind to be anywhere near their best work even if its considered the 'most important'. I mean pretty much any Nirvana album could've came out at that point and featured Smells Like Teen Spirit and been just as successful.
 
yea, i dont think Saetia belongs in there. I dont listen to that much screamo/emo music..but ive listened to the banRAB in the threaRAB Catie posts and the majority of them are a lot better and really have their own sounRAB.
 
Neal Peart may be more popular, but skillwise Peart and Bruford are about equal. People just think Peart is the most skilled drummer in the world because of how damn flashy he is.

And no way in hell is Lifeson > Howe, sorry. ;)

Lifesons solos are very flashy, especially since he was an early Pinch Harmonic user. But Howe is a more accomplished player. He has a more unique style, but at the same time he is also more versatile and diverse in his playing, everything from The Yes Album to Relayer to Going For The One to Drama has an oddly different guitar sound to it.

Like Lifeson, Howe can be fast, flashy and technical when he wants to be (Sound Chaser) but he can also play some really beautiful sh*t (Turn Of The Century, Soon) as well as stuff I've never heard another guitarist do before (Close To The Edge, The Gates of Delirium, Going For The One).

All I'm gonna give you is Geddy > Squire. Because Howe destroys Lifeson. =)
