I think the beat thing is for you to PM me your email address, so I can send you the data in an Excel spreadsheet.

[SlowGroove]

Where's the reverse list? The 100 most obscure titles receiving the fewest votes on up. That would be interesting.

YES . . . can we have one pleeease

I'm happy to see most of mine made it, expect for

Fleetwood Mac - Rumours

61 Rumours Fleetwood Mac

[Iron Horse]

Here's my list:
1. Pink Floyd – The Dark Side of the Moon (1)
2. Queen – A Night at the Opera (40)
3. Deep Purple – Machine Head (20)
4. Led Zeppelin – II (11)
5. Eagles – Hotel California (38)
6. Dire Straits – Dire Straits (-)
7. Thin Lizzy – Jailbreak (-)
8. The Who – Who’s Next (35)
9. Black Sabbath – Master of Reality (43)
10. Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble – In Step (-)

I think 7 out of 10 is pretty good, but I cannot understand why Dire Straits' debut didn't get too many votes. Well, I guess the other albums by them are more popular here.

[GoDrex]

1. Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon (1)
2. Frank Zappa - One Size Fits All
3. Bjork - Homogenic
4. Sleater-Kinney - All Hands On The Bad One
5. Led Zeppelin - IV (4)
6. Neutral Milk Hotel - In The Aeroplane Over The Sea
7. The Doors - The Doors
8. Beatles - White Album (26)
9. Prince - Sign O' The Times
10. Meat Puppets - Up On The Sun

I predicted 30% or less.

[Iron Horse]

I understand that this is a guitar forum, so the votes are definitely biased towards albums that feature guitar playing a lot. But still, I cannot understand the insanely high rankings of Appetite, VH I, Fair Warning, VH II, 1984, Dokken, and Satriani.

[StratTom]

Even though only 2 of mine made it on the list, I'm still glad that I contributed to this. Nice work Keith!

[Iron Horse]

About 70% of the top 10 was very predictable:

The Dark Side of the Moon
Appetite for Destruction
Van Halen
Led Zeppelin IV
The Wall
Master of Puppets
Are You Experienced?

[Iron Horse]

Yes, very nice work, Keith!

[Pink Unicorn Horsey]

Bungalow Bill asked me to post his top ten. Here it is, in order from most to least favorite:

Are You Experienced? - Jimi Hendrix
Grateful Dead [Skull & Roses] - Grateful Dead
At Fillmore East - Allman Brothers Band, The
Wheels of Fire - Cream
Blow by Blow - Jeff Beck
Machine Head - Deep Purple
Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd
Beatles, The [The White Album] - Beatles, The
Dire Straits - Dire Straits
Blizzard of Ozz - Ozzy Osbourne

Dire Straits - Dire Straits

Woohoo! At least someone else voted for this, too.

[GoDrex]

Woohoo! At least someone else voted for this, too.

4 people did.

[DesertRat]

Here was my list:

1 Meddle – Pink Floyd
2 Bridge of Sighs – Robin Trower
3 Animals – Pink Floyd
4 Life Before Insanity – Gov't Mule
5 Revolver – Beatles
6 Led Zeppelin III - Led Zeppelin
7 Red – King Crimson
8 Magic and Loss – Lou Reed
9 Songlines – Derek Trucks Band
10 Superunknown - Soundgarden

Thanks for all the hard work PUH!

PS I'm really glad Jazz and Afropop were excluded, that would have made my choices ultra-difficult.

[Hot _Grits]

Great work, PUH.

I got five on the list:

1. Van Halen -Fair Warning
2. Aerosmith -Rocks
3. Chris Whitley -Dirt Floor
4. MC5 -Kick out the Jams
5. Faces -a nod's as good as a wink
6. Rolling Stones -sticky fingers
7. Matthew Sweet -Girlfriend
8. Steely Dan -Aja
9. Verve -Urban Hymns
10. Beatles -Revolver

The list itself is pretty much what I'd expect from this forum. Heavy on the classic rock and metal and light on the indie/alternative. Funny to see a Ratt album in any top albums list but that does represent a part of the forum membership.

Pretty much every album in the top 100 is awesome in some way or other, though. I could easily have replace the five which didn't make it from mine with five that did.

...but I guess just me and Wattage voted MC5...
