top 100 v3 countdown: 60-51

top100

so i’ve just finished the third revision of my top 100 albums list — which to avoid confusion/arguments is a personal selection, not an attempt at a best of all time list — and to build some interest/excitement in the list beyond myself and the 1-2 other people that have traditionally cared about this i’ve decided to do a ten day countdown leading up to my number 1 album choice, vh1 best [whatever] of [decade] style.

[100 - 91]
[90-81]

[80-71]
[70-61]

60.      Belle and Sebastian- Dear Catastrophe Waitress (mp3: if she wants me)
59.       Cat Power- Moon Pix (mp3: cross bones style)
58.       Frank Zappa- Hot Rats (mp3: the gumbo variations)
57.       Robyn Hitchcock – I often Dream of Trains (mp3: sounds great when you’re dead)
56.       Air- Moon Safari (mp3: la femme d’argent)
55.       Syd Barrett – The Madcap Laughs (mp3: octopus)
54.       Leonard Cohen – Songs of Leonard Cohen (mp3: so long, marianne)
53.       Black Heart Procession – Amore del Tropico (mp3: sympathy crime)
52.       the Mountain Goats- We Shall All Be Healed (mp3: slow west vultures)
51.       Lou Reed – Transformer (mp3: vicious)

    didn’t realized you dug that black heart procession so much. i don’t think i’ll move to the one album per artist this year, but in an effort to avoid any more duplicates, i’ve decided to swap song of leonard cohen with songs of love and hate in my next list, very tough decision though.

    yeah, songs of love and hate was the first cohen album i heard and it’d probably be my 2nd pick. it does have the better cover art.
