[𝕭𝖆𝖕𝖙𝖎𝖘𝖙𝖆 𝕸𝖎𝖓𝖔𝖑𝖆]

My favourite artist is probably Pink Floyd but they have too many albums, some of which I have never listened to.

My most preferred artist (going by # of songs donwloaded on Spotify) about whom I can rank all albums seems to be Coldplay.

1. A Rush Of Blood To The Head - masterclass
2. Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends - pretty great, has the right amount of electronics, I like its atmosphere very much
3. Everyday Life - interesting, experimental, different; too new for me to have a super-definite impression, but I think it belongs here
4. X&Y - good album but not extraordinary
5. Parachutes - good, maybe too minimalist
6. A Head Full Of Dreams - too electronic and funky but also interesting experimentalism and gets redeemed by Kaleidoscope
7. Ghost Stories - a weird mix of electrofunky and minimalism
8. Mylo Xyloto - mostly electronic trash

[dead0man]

NOFX
1.Punk in Drublic
2.So Long and Thanks for the Shoes
3.Ribbed
4.West Coast vs Wessex
5.White Trash, Two Heebs and a Bean

The Who
1.Quadrophenia
2.Who's Next
3.Tommy
4.The Who Sell Out
5.Who Are You

[Alcibiades]

I’ll do Pavement - short but sweet discography:

1. Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain
2. Wowee Zowee
3. Slanted and Enchanted
4. Brighten the Corners
5. Terror Twilight

Terror Twilight is still a damn solid album, though.

One dislike I have of things like this is that it makes it look like you dislike the albums you rank towards the bottom. Not the case, I just put my favorites up top. With these artists, I love most of their output.

Ouch, Damn at 4?! That's cold. I love Damn. I like Section 80 as well but it's just not as fine-tuned as Damn is.

Ehh, I agree with it. Section.80 has F--k Your Ethnicity as the lead track. Kendrick always has killer opening tracks though.

I like Damn it's just not my favorite. The other three are more replayable to me. I agree with what Sev said, plus Keisha's Song is great. It showed early that his production values were top notch.

My lists would nearly be the same. For Aerosmith, a few of the 80s/90s albums would've made it. For Zeppelin, In Through The Out Door would've at least made the list, and same with III

I don't hate Done With Mirrors, Permanent Vacation or Pump, but none of them are as good as the worst Aerosmith album from the 70s.

I actually haven't listened to In Through The Out Door since the 90s, maybe it's grown on me.  I enjoy III more as an adult than I did as a teenager.  Out on the Tiles is one of my favorite Zep songs.
