ABC's My Favorite Album

[Dissident]

Probably only 2 surprises in that list for me, RHCP and Jeff Buckley. The chart probably reflects a JJJ-sensitive audience, which I'm not unhappy about. If this show was on commercial TV hosted by Dick Wilkins and Catriona Rowntree I reckon the results would have been vastly different. I noticed Whispering Jack was WAAYY down the list. On Channel 9 it would be in the top 5 at least.

How can you say it's a JJJ-sensitive audience when Bernard Fanning/Powderfinger weren't one and two ?

[zipzap]

Was it just me or was "Dicko" the best thing on that show. I didn't always agree with his taste but I thought his views were well thought out and explained very well. Like him or loathe him he knows his stuff.

Absolutely. I found myself agreeing with most of his (and Kram's) opinions, except DSOTM which I never ever got, even as a massive Pink Floyd fan as a kiddie. Renee Geyer should be taken out the back and put down. I wonder if anyone has ever mentioned to her she is actually white? And Chas Lichiardello was mostly plain embarrassing I thought. Every time they tried to have a serious musical discussion he ruined it with inane comments which go down a treat on the Chaser, but he exposed his lack of musical knowledge I thought.

That's so true.

Definately agree.

Memo to ABC:

Let the music people make jokes about music. Don't let comedians.
(Or whatever they are)

[godoubleblues]

I thought the show was OK, Myff did allright but the panel , I actually thought that Dicko had the most to say
get rid of the humour factor in Judith Lucy and that fella from the Chaser show and put in musicians or people in the business that actually have some cred

as for the list, I have had 7 of the top 10 and between myself and my daughter we have had the lot

agree with Zippy in that it was a JJJ audience but still surprised that OK computer finished so high and also Jeff Buckley was the other big surprise

my vote came in at 26 and my wife didnt even make the top 100, she is a big Natalie Merchant (10000 Maniacs) fan

[Dissident]

Perusing through the list of the top 100, I pull out these as my ten albums.

Well, albums on THIS list anyway.

1. [19] Pearl Jam — Ten
2. [02] Jeff Buckley — Grace
3. [65] Miles Davis — Kind of Blue
4. [56] Metallica — Master of Puppets
5. [61] Prince — Purple Rain
6. [99] Soundgarden — Superunknown
7. [78] Foo Fighters — The Colour and The Shape
8. [64] Dire Straits — Brothers In Arms
9. [74] INXS — Kick
10. [84] Crowded House — Woodface

I was particularly interested in his comments on Abbey Road (See page 1 of this thread ). Chas was so far out of his depth it wasn't funny. Kram was also very interesting (pity his band sucks )
BTW I was at friends place for dinner last night and one of the albums they put on during the evening was Kaleidoscope World!!! I nearly died.

That's awesome! You have cool friends

It is an aquired taste, Buckley.
I don't think there's many people who hate it - you either love it, or don't get it (or the people who love it).

I have it on now too. Lilac Wine is on in the lounge - beautiful.
I don't drink a lot of wine, but I love a glass of red listening to this.

While it was on I knocked back a glass of Ingoldby Cab Sav myself...

No kidding. Yet there was still plenty of populist dreck in the upper positions.

I actually own Grace, but I've never really liked it. I'm listening to it now to see if I can hear what everyone else finds appealing about it.

But really folks, how can anyone take the list seriously when The Human League's Dare didn't make it?

Grace is a great album, on the strength of 4 songs on there: Mojo Pin, Grace, Last Goodbye & So Real.
I have tried, but cannot listen to the other songs on this album, as they are very boring.
Those 4 songs mentioned (especially Mojo Pin & Grace) are what makes it a great buy.

No Doors on the list at ALL.
I know you don't like them REB - but come ON!

Anthony Callea has an album on there, and the Doors don't
