You should put top albums EVER as the title. And there is a slight bias though, it is Green plastic.

[bigc1]

thats too hip for me

[All That I Am]

Congratulations you scored a Barry Manilow Copacobana Bobblehead.

[boyalien0]

Hot Fuss over Funeral.

[woogie846]

I give a lot of hot fuss over Funeral.

*pun*

[idrive1life]

The Beatles - The Beatles

(lol)

[bmack86]

Did the 50s, 60s, 70s, Jazz, Soul, Dance and Hip Hop never happen? i'm confused

[Wheres the beef?]

ZOMG! Two radiohead albums in the top 10?! That is so not like someone with the name "radiohead727".

[rage patton]

That is a horrible top 50 albums ever list.

There are so many things wrong with it... I don't even know where to start.

[idrive1life]

Start with the kids who contributed to that list.

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

Congratulations you scored a Barry Manilow Copacobana Bobblehead.

epic...

A brief history of rock, according to the Greenplastic board members:

The Beatles – Revolver (1966)

Nothing good for 9 years

Pink Floyd – Wish You Were Here (1975)

Nothing good for 10 years

R.E.M. – Fables of the Reconstruction (1985)

Nothing good for 6 years

Nirvana – Nevermind (1991), followed by 46 subsequent albums

Thank goodness for the last sixteen years, or music would really suck.

[PassiveTheory]

I'm surprised they don't saunter from Fables of the Reconstruction to Pablo Honey...

[idrive1life]

I'm surprised they don't saunter from Fables of the Reconstruction to Pablo Honey...

They should expand it to Top 100.

[amyzzz]

Dang, no Coldplay.

[Deviate_420]

Homework isnt that great of a CD. You all know I am right on that.

[radiohead727]

Jesus Christ people get the fuck over it...radiohead fans like radiohead

I got a little lazy and just did mostly 90s and 00s cept for Pink Floyd, R.E.M., Beatles (I think)

[PassiveTheory]

Jesus Christ people get the fuck over it...radiohead fans like radiohead and validate everything else as inferior to radiohead.

Fixed.

That's not "a little" lazy. That's ignoring some of the best music ever released. VU? The Clash? Captain Beefheart? The Minutemen? Can? Faust?

Damn homey, you fucked up hard.

[wmgaretjax]

this heat? neu? kraftwerk? mars?

[bmack86]

Good ole Mars. Except, they didn't ever release an album. Only EPs, yessss?
Helen Forsdale would be proud.

[garrett222]

I'm looking at the prodigy cd 'music for the jilted' and wanted to know if i should buy the whole cd, or just the voodoo song? I'm not a huge techno freak, but i do like the fat of the land cd in its entirety

Mars - 78 (1986)

has some old stuff, and some of the recent stuff. but it counts as an LP in my mind. they need more recognition either way. DNA too maybe?

[bmack86]

I like Complete Studio Recordings. The sound is better than on 78.
The DNA compilation that came out a few years ago is great. So insane.
I could never get as into James Chance.

I'm glad I helped boost the VU album into the top 25. I voted that as #1, because it was about my favorite at the time. THat was a fun project.

Semicolons for life.
