After Toy Love broke up, Bathgate and Knox remained together as the Tall Dwarfs. Kean was later a member of The Bats. That sentence sums it up to me, in all its glory.

2. James - Laid (7.5) Another very good album, but its length and lack of risk-taking take it down a notch from true excellence. The production is top notch, clean as a whistle and the songs are really quite good in their core. But it's not just exciting enough - it feels like the U2 version of Jame...

3. KRS-One - KRS-One (1995) I'm going to give this a 7.5 Not quite an 8, but almost there. If there is a clear winner in my hip hop tastes, it's East Coast vs West Coast, Boom Bap and all. Put this on my 90s preference, I don't know, but I really enjoy the beats on this album. I knew KRS-One only of...

Schuttelbirne,

You shouldn't feel like this - I really enjoyed your review, thoughtful, detailed, great stuff.
I hope you'll carry on sharing your views

Jumping quickly to rate 667 - A stormer of a song. The end is simply amazing, one of the best tracks of the decade.
I discovered it only recently and yes it is heavily influenced by the White Stripes, but it has the edge on production.

So a big fat 10 for me.

I tend to rate from 4-10 since there's really not enough music that I dislike for a 1-10 scale to really work well. Oh, there's enough music that you dislike for it to work well.

Question for spiritualized-- I tend to rate from 4-10 since there's really not enough music that I dislike for a 1-10 scale to really work well. For example, the distinction between a 2/20 and a 3/10 would be basically arbitrary to me. However, I see that this game is on a 10 point scale. Should I ...

Holden wrote: ↑Mon Nov 02, 2020 9:24 pm So, can we count on this every Monday consistently? No big deal if it's not consistent but I think that many people would prefer that. On that note, a reminder that you can make and save drafts to prepare them, then they are only a click away when you want to put them out!

Yes that’s the plan !

Some of these albums, when the...

Holden, you were a FANTASTIC Master of Ceremony.
Great rollout, great results.
An all time list which will shine its light for 3 long years.

Thank you again !

Oh and whilst you bow out after this sterling job, I will start with Biggest Fan - the Album Edition very soon !

No, you're right, with live and archival, I can't go further than 1500.
That's indeed a bummer.

Hi Rob, It looks like the charts have been restricted to 1500 for non-paying users. I happen to have financially contributed to RYM a while ago so I get a permanent premium subscription (goodie !) where I can go up to 7500 If you want to, I can post the 10 next albums on this thread, but you'll lose...

I’ve received Holden spreadsheet and let’s say I am shocked at the number of one vote albums. Just shy of 5000 ! Might as well say that it’ll take 100 years to go through the list...

I'm all for it, but like others I think one rando =m album a week is the way to go, with a grade instead of pitting two albums against each other. It takes long to make a top 100, but perhaps you could instead do a top list after each year? Yes, totally in agreement. I think it will be far less pop...

I actually wanted to run this but was waiting for the final results. I was thinking of a random album every week, in the same format as Rob is running Biggest Fan.
