Japanese albums making it I'm really surprised. Aretha's domination too.
@Wicked Carmen Maki & Blues Creation by one of my entries comes to mind.

Joni Mitchell's Hejira (my #1 album) probably won't make the list, but I'm okay with that. I'm sure Blue (my #3 album) will make an appearance.

Yaaaass at MC slaying so far Merry Christmas remains the greatest Christmas album ever and also one of her top 3 albums vocally.
Emotions is so underrated! Every song is great!

Don't be so sure! Ranked very high on my list, hopefully will get a few other mentions.
Not from the Mariah fan who reported my last post, obviously, as I assume they're too busy sticking their virgin penis into running vacuum cleaners to cultivate an appreciation for tolerable music.

Anyone wanna take a guess at who will make the most appearances in the top 100?

If The Velvet Rope, Ray Of Light, Like A Prayer, Come On Over, Butterfly don't make the top 20...

I think Mariah will make the most appearances, she's released the most albums from 1900-19999 out of all the pop girls and if Merry Christmas' inclusive is any indication then I'm sure she'll be making quite a few appearances.

Kind of Blue has been regarded by many critics as jazz's greatest record, Davis's masterpiece, and one of the best albums of all time. Its influence on music, including jazz, rock, and classical genres, has led writers to also deem it one of the most influential albums ever recorded. Kind of Blue was one of fifty recordings chosen in 2002 by the Library of Congress to be added to the National Recording Registry, and in 2003, it was ranked number 12 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.

Points: 192
Submitters: enxe, Lucas32, ThisCharmingMan
Indie Folk, Indie Rock, Lo-Fi
Psychedelic Folk, Singer/Songwriter |
Quote:
In the Aeroplane Over the Sea is the second studio album by American indie rock band Neutral Milk Hotel. Released in on February 10, 1998.
In the Aeroplane Over the Sea is widely considered to be written about Anne Frank due to lyrics seemingly referring to her, such as lines referring to her birth and death dates. Though the group has never officially stated that the album is indeed about Frank, it is a popular theory among fans, and Jeff Mangum has mentioned the influence her diary, The Diary of a Young Girl, has made on his craft and outright referred to "Holland, 1945" being about her while performing live. The album was the sixth-best-selling vinyl album in 2008. NME named it the 98th greatest album of all time.
