You know what I think is cool? Slideshows! I hate being given lists that anyone can read quickly. Slideshows are way better, because it builds the suspense! I especially like slideshows on a website that implies there will be a list, preferably not a lengthy one, because all the people looking for gratification will be disappointed. This link is cooler than an overworked refrigerator in the arctic!

Massive Attack, LCD Soundsystem

I really wish they would stop trying to making hipster techno happen. Techno is terrible and it's taken over pop and rap.

\and I'm sorry, but as a fan of early Miles, I don't really get the fascination with biatches Brew

+1. Sketches of Spain would have been a much better choice.

Trans Europe Express is ok but gets boring after a while.
The best track on Trans Europe Express is Europe Endless.

um...



musta been number 51...

List fails without Led Zep.

THE 50 COOLEST ALBUMS EVER

or

IF HIPSTERS RULED THE WORLD

\appalling list

What a load of crap. "Dexies Midnight Runners"??? No.
I'm done with "ShortList". Their music critic has his head up his ass.

Silly lists are silly

List sucks, I "own" only 7 of those

/ >

List fails without.... ahh fark it, I don't have that much time.

They kind of lost it when they got to the 80's, and they have the wrong Outkast album on there.

Speakerboxx/Love Below was no where near Aquemini in either quality or coolness.

GypsyJoker: \appalling list

What's wrong with it?

List fails without Millie Jackson

I don't even know where to begin with this pile of fail, but this is a good start

List fails without Devastatin' Dave.

I honestly thought I'd never see a music collection list that excluded Nirvana, but there it is.

dugitman: The usual suspects, with some semi-obscure albums the writer sprinkles in so he can use the word "seminal".

There's nothing even close to obscure on that list. Actually, the word needs to be removed from music discussions entirely, unless the person using it has no concept of search engines.

Didn't even bother with the slide show.

Six months from now, the list will have radically changed once again.

Ummm - make it six weeks ...

/no Cheap Trick
//or Franz Ferdinand

Actually 52. 51 is

Outkast is on there but Appetite for Destruction isn't? Seriously?

Afghan Whigs on the list gave it some credibility... no Husker Du took it away.

linked hotly

meehaw:
No, you see...they said the coolest albums of all time...

OK, OK, how about the absence of Jimi Hendrix?

Notable Absences




also, Let It Bleed and Aftermath are better albums than Exile, Exile's overrated

I listen to 1970s prog rock. That will never, ever be cool. Beat that, hipsters.

I'm proud of the fact I own only three of those (London Calling, Exile on Main Street, Rum, Sodomy. ...)

dholway was right with this one:



If nothing but for the title alone.

I might add that I think The In Sound From Way Out is cooler than Paul's Boutique.

$.02

I vouch for The XX's album.

They're damn good.

Try to listen to new music, you dinosaurs.
