Don't mean to spoil the actual countdown, but what do folks think will be in the top 10? Here's my best guesses;

1. Bob James "Two" / Mardi Gras w/o the bells, etc...
2. Stark Reality "Discovers Hoagy Charmichael's Music Shop"
3. Wu-Tang "Enter the Wu Tang (36 Chambers)"
4. Marvin Gaye "What's Going On"
5. A Tribe Called Quest "Midnight Marauders"
6. Cymande s/t
7. NWA "Straight Outta Compton"
8. RUN-DMC s/t

9. and 10. I couldn't figure out - maybe an Outkast album (none so far) or J Dilla "Donuts", or maybe a WOF '95 like Skull Snaps

What do you predict?

    I will be very surprised if there are more than three rap records in the top ten.

    Ohh, good one.

    Could be that some crust sneaks in there too, maybe a Beatles LP or maybe that horrible Van Morrison joint everyone loves.

    This won't happen, because Van Morrison was never a big subject of discussion on this board, as far as I remember.
    Anyway, I really love the whole album this beautiful song is taken from:



    Maybe It's time to start a dedicated Van Morrison appreciation thread.

    My thoughts exactly

    Sayer is #35.

    Stark Reality #1.

    There are 4 women on the list (counting the Sylvers). Any chance of a 5th making the list?

    David Crosby Remember My Name and Michael Franks Time for Tea or whatever they are called.

    This could be in there, I recall a ton of discussion about it when someone uploaded it in the Real Headz thread and after the reissue.

    Ones that haven't been mentioned that I figured would be contenders:

    There's a Riot Going On
    What's Going On
    Off the Wall
    24 Carat Black
    Introducing Marijata
    either King of Rock or Raising Hell

    I'm guessing that Mulatu Of Ethiopia will be the only African record on the list (and that was recorded in the US).

    Add The Temptations' Solid Rock and your list is almost perfect in a real world amazing music list.

    Those are pretty solid guesses, Off the Wall is definitely in, I thought it was already on the list but that was Thriller. ( but c'mon, Thriller>Off the Wall!)

    I hadn't considered Superfly, Mothership Connection, Headhunters or There's a Riot, all conspicuously absent from the list so far...
