    Agree with Joe. This is the problem when you combine individual top 20 lists. People assume the big albums will make it, so they stuff their lists with obscure albums they want to make it, and the result is a completely random list.

    • @TheGerkuman
      @TheGerkuman 5 місяців тому +4

      Yeah. It may be a pain to ask people to compile longer lists, but you get a better result, because there's less you have to leave off.
      A fairer way would be to make a longlist for each decade, cut it down to about 50 for each (giving you 350) and then getting everyone to rank all of them in preferred order, collating the results and cutting it down to to the top 200. Would take a lot of work, but I think it would be more representative.

    Nomination for best lines on TLM: "People just think this record's like, cool to like because it doesn't have any good songs on it" - Jason
    That's such a great music snob comment. As I'm writing this, I'm imagining Barry (Jack Black) in High Fidelity, saying that line. It would've worked well with Jack's manic and passionate, over the top delivery.

  • @DeanJonasson

    What I like about this list (comparatively speaking) is that Country and Jazz get some noticeable representation at the expense of Hip Hop. More variety of genres is always refreshing. As you mentioned, there were some artists over-represented and I saw some weak odd-ball choices, including those Motown albums that contain a few hits and lots of filler. For classic Motown, it's got to be compilations as the label was singles driven during their early peak. I didn't see a lot of Folk or World Music (Fela, Khan, Adé) so it still seems artificially skewed towards pop. The Top 20 looked pretty random but at least that provided some fun observations on your part. I'll echo an earlier comment and suggest Tastes Like Music attempt a list of this magnitude.
    Enjoyable episode.

    As a Brazilian and die-hard fan of Clube da Esquina, I have to say that it's a very "Brazilian" record (sort of like Acabou Chorare, which I personally think is peak "Brazilian"). Whenever I show it to my foreign friends, they usually react with a "OMG this is the most beautiful record I've ever heard" or "meh, it's alright I guess" (similar to your guys' reactions).

      I couldn't agree more! 'On The Beach' is an incredible album. Arguments over whether or not it's better than 'After The Gold Rush' are immaterial, when you suggest that 'On The Beach' has "no good songs" 🤯 It's not that the album is suddenly back in vogue, it's more that it not being widely available until it was reissued on CD in 2003 meant that people had forgotten just what a superb album it is and it's finally getting its long overdue reappraisal. I like the TLM guys, but I find it hard to get my head around Jason slating 'On The Beach', yet he thinks that Graham Nash (very good, but easily the least talented songwriter of the four) produced the best CSNY solo album, while he also like the interminably dull Counting Crows 😬

      @@TastesLikeMusic His 70s output so incredibly strong and that long run of great albums almost unprecedented, especially when you include his first two albums from the 60s. With that in mind, I don't have a big issue with you saying On The Beach is his worst 70s album. However, I clearly don't hear American Stars 'n Bars (4 stars) as good as On The Beach (5 stars).
      On The Beach probably speaks to me that much because some of the tracks (in particular the entire side 2) are among his saddest and at the same time most beautiful songs. That's also the reason why Tonight's The Night is my favorite Neil album, because it's even sadder. And yes, After The Goldrush is at number 3, but only slightly ahead of the next one.

But they included 3 PJ Harvey records ! including Stories From... which is per moments a pastiche of the Pretenders ! Sleater-Kinney better and more influential than the Banshees ? All the rock musicians would laugh at the face of Paste's editor in chief. Paste magazine are 1st category dilletantes. They don't have any strong culture, their team is like Pitchfork's: they don"t even know the musical tastes and influences of their darlings. No Depeche Mode record either ? And is the 1st LCD Soundsystem really a better album than any Kraftwerk record ? This is education in reverse. Robert Smith would have headaches to see the Cure higher than Hendrix and the Beatles, literally he would leave the room after saying Paste's editor in chief 'ever picked an instrument, dude ?" 😂

    Aretha's Amazing Grace is a live gospel album. It is a stunning album. Surprised you both dismissed it so easily. You don't need to be a gospel aficionado to love it. The shows were filmed, but not released for decades due to a syncing issue that they were recently able to fix, it is worth watching.
    It is amazing how artists fall in and out of fashion. Everyone has their artist they can't believe gets snubbed. For me it is Elvis Costello. For a lot of his career he was the critics darling, but somehow he has fallen out of favor and I am not completely sure why. Too much of a catalogue making him seemingly unapproachable? Not having that singular album that can be added to a list with no discussion. Or maybe he hasn't gone dormant for long enough for people to miss him? He will be missed and hopefully appreciated when he is sadly gone.
