    curtis- s/t
    ray barretto- acid
    wu tang- enter the wu tang

    Funkadelic- S/T (duh -------)
    Can- Future Days
    The Congos- Heart of the Congos
    The Stooges- Funhouse

    gbv is the more sentimental pick; southwestern ohio boy.

    both records are great, but i think you could use another soul record on that list.
  • kitchenknightkitchenknight 4,922 Posts
    ok. ditch GbV, and i'll add...

    aretha- never loved a man

    Aw shit. How did I forget the first Funkadelic lp? See ya Sticky Fingers.

    Sticky Fingers----Let it Bleed-----Exile---Beggars are all equal to me anyway.

    I seriously considered Heart of the Congos and Funhouse would be number 12 or 13.

    perfect. i was trying to fit that one on my list.

    I'm sure I'll feel completely different about this by lunchtime, but I'll play. I think it's important that a list like this should be colored by your own sentimental attachment to the records more than any notion of musical supremacy:

    Astral Weeks
    Only Built for Cuban Linx
    Rubber Soul (but really it could have been any Beatles album)
    Marquee Moon
    London Calling
    Low End Theory
    Sweet Exorcist
    Axis Bold As Love
    Paranoid
    Velvets Live

    Edited that shit already...
  • FatbackFatback 6,746 Posts
    Velvets Live


    Max's? or the one on Mercury? Or is there another?
  • UMADUMAD 187 Posts
    The Mercury one. It's just the way they should be heard to me, with the songs all stretched out and the feedback going. My ultimate rainy day record. I'm gonna blast it right now as a matter of fact. Max's actually manages to be that rare record that is so badly recorded I can't get into it.

    Agreed. Ocean on there is a facemelter. Even outside of recording quality, the Max's date sucks. Sans Moe Tucker! Fuck all that.

    the production on in utero is retarded. i should have put it on my list.

    can we change to top 20?

    They're could probably be a top 50 that I like as much as these albums but this is what comes to mind.

    Ice Cube "Death Certificate/America's Most Wanted"
    Jay Z "Blueprint"
    Ohio Players "Pleasure/Pain/"
    Jodeci "Diary of a Mad Band"
    Stevie Wonder "Innervisions"
    Tribe "Midnight Mauraders"
    Slum Village "Fantastic Vol 1"
    Curtis Mayfield "Curtis"
    NWA "Evil4Zaggin"
    Marvin Gaye "I Want You"

    Liquid Swords

    Still Standing - Soul Food is a better album, but this definately has the more "personal connection" for me.

    Fresh

    Tago Mago

    The Stylistics

    Astral Weeks

    Ghetto Music

    Highway 61 Revisited

    Freedom Now Suite

    Up For the Down Stroke - This may be a head scratcher but I think it's the collective's most overlooked album. There are songs on here that sound like nothing else, "Presence of a Brain," "All Your Goodies Are Gone," "The Goose." I play this record more than anything else I own.
