I want to know what are in people's record collections. I have a vague idea that joolio likes deep purple and Ms W likes Boards of Canada. Here's a way of answering me: Tell me stuff that you think should be in the top 100 albums that never gets mentioned, and things that are justifiedly included. I will start off by giving 10: 1)there's no Miles Davis in Q's latest top 100. Anything from 69-74 really, particularly Bitches Brew and In a Silent Way. Sticking with jazz,2) John Coltrane's A Love supreme and Expression are worthy of mention. Jazz doesn't really fare that well in these type of charts does it? Off shoots to mention include Herbie Hancock and Alice Coltrane during the 70's. 3) Brian Eno is very much maligned and much misunderstood. His mid 70's period was rather good(warm jets, Taking tiger mountain, before and after science, another green world). His collaboration with David Byrne was rather good as was ambient 4. Recently, nerve net and neroli could make it 4)Julian Cope deserves to be mentioned in some guise or other. Teardrop Explodes 3 albums are worthy, as is his solo stuff (world shut your mouth, fried, skellington, jehovah kill, peggy suicide and 20 mothers could all make it). Haven't heard his Brain donor work yet. 5)The Cure. Surprised that Wish never made it on any polls, or Disintegration, seventeen seconds, pornography and Head on the Door 6)Captain Beefheart. Not trout mask replica, which is always vaunted as a classic, but his earlier stuff Strictly personal and Safe as Milk, as well as his later stuff - Doc at the Radar station and Shiny Beast. 7)Saul Williams - Amethyst rock star. Great poet with jazzy hip hop beats. Ohm remains his finest hour but that is not on an album. Coded Language is, mind. 8)Ian Brown's solo work. You wouldn't think it, but I think it deserves it. Golden greats particularly, with Music of the Spheres not far behind. 9) Some krautrock. Anything from Faust, but probably IV in particular. Can surely deserve a mention, and Landed is my favourite of what I have heard. Neu are highly lauded 10)How about Goldie's Timeless, or Grooverider's 1st one (can't remember what it is called, done in 98. Mysteries of Funk?). How about Talking Heads or PIL (metal box), or Sandy Denny, Ozric Tentacles, Eat Static, Boards of Canada, Squarepusher (feed me weird things or you know squarepusher). How about Echo and the Bunnymen's Crocodiles? How about the Chameleons, The Fall, The Beta Band, Mogwai, Bowie's Outside, anything from Funkadelic, A guy called Gerald, Frank Zappa's Hot Rats, I could go on and it will only be my record collection that runs out. Obviously there is stuff in my collection that does make the polls. Nick Drake, Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Beefheart, Bowie, Pink Floyd etc.

I'm in the process of cataloguing my collection, so I can put together a list to keep track of it better. Once I'm done, I'll put a link to the list up here. xxoo SOA

All sorts of stuff and I luv most of it. As moey says, you're probably better off reading the Soundtracks weekly thing, 'cos I reckon it would take most people on here an age to produce a list of the sort you're talking about. And then there would be millions of the inevitable "oh...and I forgot to mention.." posts and the whole thing would end up being a trillion posts of lists that would take 50 years to open, and you'd probably get bored or just driven into some kind of state of despair just plowing through 'em and lose the will to live, or spend the day kicking dogs or something.

that's the kind of thing I wanted. It wasn't so hard now was it, the rest of you. Maybe it was a bad posting idea, but this was an all time fav things rather than the soundtrack to our lives what you're listening to at the moment kind a thing. Doesn't have to cover everything you've ever listened to, just a few things off the top of your brains. Just showing an interest and trying to catalyse some responses. Grrrrh
