BAND CHARTS - I'M A NERD

[C DUB YA]

So I uploaded a chart in the DM thread and I guess some wanted to see what else I've "nerded" out on with my band album charts, so I started this thread to house them all (well not all of them)

A few things: I kept it to bands that have had at least 5 records or have been around at least 10 years (sorry Arcade Fire), please also keep in mind this is how I see things - not the word of God, always up for debate of course, but this has produced some interesting results/looks when you view artistic output so, matter of fact. The Terrible to Essential rating should also be in context of the band itself.

Also left off any hits packages or live albums.

This is just for fun.

Lets start with U2....

Here is the Cure, Morrissey and Belle and Sebastian:

[kreutz2112]

That's pretty cool. I would rank Wish as "great" though.

[C DUB YA]

here is Depeche Mode, New Order, and Nine Inch Nails:

[C DUB YA]

Radiohead (gulp) Wilco, and R.E.M.:

[C DUB YA]

Blur and Oasis:

That's pretty cool. I would rank Wish as "great" though.

there is a lot of wish hate on the boards i've noticed, i don't get it!!! from the edge of the deep green sea is one of their best songs ever. open and high are also great. i think it's a great album as well.

I don't agree with your B&S one at all.

Can you make an Animal Collective one for me with my ratings?

[menikmati]

wow you would have a straight horizontal line graph at the top of the page...

[Cherita Chen]

You think Accelerate was "poor"?

[C DUB YA]

You think Accelerate was "poor"?

In CONTEXT of R.E.M. records I do. Not a bad record - but a bad record for them - according to me.

[buddy]

Boy - Great
Your Arsenal - Essential
Murmur - Essential
Automatic For the People - Essential
Terror Twilight - Great or at least a little higher than good

Everything else I pretty much agree with

[Pixiessp]

i like your rating of Faith. A Ghost is Born,to me,deserves a higher rating though. I love the charts! please post more.

[davrone]

Maladjusted was pretty fucking awful.

I get you man. I just happen to really like that album.

What program is this? I wanna play

[C DUB YA]

I have some others at home - I will add later.

[Alchemy]

I thought Dear Catastrophe Waitress and Heathen Chemistry were both great albums.

[C DUB YA]

Maladjusted was pretty fucking awful.

Right down to the artwork

[TommyboyUNM]

I really like Wild Mood Swings by The Cure. I was surprised that you gave it a "Poor" rating. Solid work! Looking forward to more.

[C DUB YA]

I'm definitely taking notes on all the feedback.

[bmack86]

I think the last three pavement records are rated too low. Personal feeling, of course.

[kitt kat]

wow you would have a straight horizontal line graph at the top of the page...

No way man. Have you ever HEARD Danse Manatee? That's pretty unlistenable. And I'm no fan of HCTI, really.

[kreutz2112]

I didn't even make it through either of those the first (and only) time I've listened to them.

[C DUB YA]

I feel similar.

[C DUB YA]

Forgot Underworld:

[humanoid]

I have to agree regarding Danse Manatee...I was given that album years ago and it took me a while to overcome it when considering future AC works

[zenidogx]

i disagree with the Belle & Sebastian chart:

[zajaa]

want to take a crack at bjork?

[Alchemy]

I personally would call The Fragile an essential album.
