Well, on November 10th I for one shall be sitting, digit poised and a member of the IT literate set alongside, in front of the magic box of wires ready to download The Endless River. The fruit of my loins is dragging me into modernity, but I must admit the Sonos gifted to me is a jolly good piece of kit.

I dare say this particular album will be my personal number 1 well into next year, unless Floyd disappoint which I can't imagine they will.

I'm looking forward to it also- heard one or two sound bites that sounded very plain though :(

Says the man who has posted something which the majority of which just looks like a load of random letters!!!!

 
Anyone who is a fan of Clutch has no place to comment on other people's musical taste. 

 
They're a fun band. I mean they're no musical genius like limp bisket

 
Erm, bit of mixed bag this, so bare with me;

(in no particular order).

1. Pink Floyd: The Wall

2. Duran Duran: Rio

3. U2: Achtung Baby

4. Kajagoogoo: White Feathers

5. John Barry: The Living Daylights

6. John Barry: On Her Majesty's Secret Service

7. Depeche Mode: Music For The Masses

8. Def Leppard: Hysteria

9. Alphaville: Forever Young

10: Human League: Dare

11. Tears For Fears: Songs From The Big Chair

12. Ultravox: Lament

13: Ultravox: Vienna

Can't really think of many more, but still, an unusual taste in music, for a 30 year old lad.

Yes. Unusual is one word for putting Kajagoogoo and Pink Floyd on the same list! I can't imagine that's been done before.

lol, I remember on the way to the FA Cup final against Pompey, me and my two mates listening to that Kajagoogoo album, I think that's why I keep listening to it now, was such a surreal trip.

 
Wow guys, this forum's musical tastes have impressed me. Good stuff.

I'd love to try post my 20 but I have no idea on the order; how do you compare Bob Marley with The Smiths, or The Specials with Joy Division? It would take me all day. I do know my number one album however, London Calling (The Clash)... in my opinion the greatest record of all time.

 
No need to rank them. Just list your top 20, with only one alnum allowed by any artist, and no greatest hits collections.

I haven't found the time to do mine yet, either.

 
1. Blue Oyster Cult - Agents of Fortune

2. Led Zep - IV

3. Smashing Pumpkins - Adore

4. Joshua Redman - Elastic

5. Me'shell NdegeOcello - Peace Beyond Passion

6. Joni Mitchell - Shadows and Light

7. Steely Dan - Kid Charlemagne

8. Donald Fagen - The Nightfly

9.Weather Report - Night Passage

10.David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust

11.Jack Johnson - In Between Dreams

12.John Abercrombie - Currents Events

13.Bobby Watson - Post Motown Bop

14.Kate Bush - Never for Ever

15.Rush - Hemispheres

16.ZZ Top - Tres Hombres

17. Deep Purple - Come Taste the Band

18. Glenn Hughes - First Underground Nuclear Kitchen

19. Aerosmith - Pump

20. David Sylvian - Brilliant Trees 

 
Ok, this is going to drive me nuts trying to pick just 20 albums, so I'll make it easier for myself by not even attempting to put them in any other order than alphabetical.

The Adverts - "Cast of Thousands"

Arcade Fire - "Funeral"

Beirut - "The Rip Tide"

Andrew Bird - "Andrew Bird & The Mysterious Production of Eggs"

David Bowie - "Hunky Dory"

Kate Bush - "Hounds of Love"

Clash - "London Calling"

Desmond Dekker & The Aces - "007 (Shanty Town)"

Nick Drake - "Bryter Layter"

Faith No More - "King for a Day, Fool for a Lifetime"

Grandaddy - "The Sophtware Slump"

Madness - "One Step Beyond"

Modest Mouse - "The Moon & Antarctica"

The National - "Alligator"

Neutral Milk Hotel - "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea"

Pixies - "Doolittle"

Sonic Youth - "Daydream Nation"

The Specials - "Specials"

Toots & The Maytals - "Sweet and Dandy"

Tom Waits - "Rain Dogs"

Argh... So many good bands/artists had to be left out AND great albums by artists/bands who did make it to the list.

 
OK I'll have a go

1. The Who - Quadrophenia (without a doubt)

2. The Allman Brothers - Live at the Fillmore East
