"Three Feet High and Rising" is kinda so far above every other album on this list its embarassing.

[dubdobdee.livejournal.com]

i have never owned "born in the usa"

Re: oops no 21!

[dubdobdee.livejournal.com]

i blame the vast SPREADSHEET i am constructing for my wiretapper poll analysis :\

[http://users.livejournal.com/xyzzzz__/]

Heard five - currently own one.

Beat that.

Nine (+6)

[jeff-worrell.livejournal.com]

Own: 74, 77, 86, 89, 93, 96, 03, 04, 05

Pooh Sticks (= "I've got it on tape"): 76, 78, 81, 82, 87, 88

I've also heard Thriller but none of the others. I tend to avoid canonical alBUMs on the whole.

Hmm, should I list my own fave LPs for these years? Perhaps not.

[jauntyalan.livejournal.com]

6 - and i'm not being any more specific

[byebyepride.livejournal.com]

7, if Little Creatures is the one I think it is.

This is why I am not a rock critic.

OK, not the only reason.

Own or have owned

[awesomewells.livejournal.com]

18. Including one that is so embarassing that I was forced to delete my entire list to prevent you finding out.

Re: Nine (+6)

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

'Hmm, should I list my own fave LPs for these years? Perhaps not.'

yes let's!

i can't go before '89 tho:

89 De La Soul - Three Feet High & Rising
90 Public Enemy - Fear Of A Black Planet
91 808 State - Ex:El
92 Altern 8 - Full On...Mask Hysteria
93 Pearl Jam - Vs (AIEEEEEEEEE)
94 Prodigy - Music For The Jilted Generation
95 Goldie - Timeless
96 Faithless - Reverence
97 Daft Punk - Homework
98 Beastie Boys - Hello Nasty
99 Basement Jaxx - Remedy
00 Laurent Garnier - Unreasonable Behaviour
01 The Avalanches - Since I Left You
02 The Streets - Original Pirate Material
03 Outkast - Speakerboxx/The Love Below
04 Annie - Anniemal
05 Broadcast - Tender Buttons
06 The Knife - Silent Shout

those were what i picked at the time (De La was the first and only album i bought in '89 - never got round to buying Inner City's or Soul II Soul's like i meant to - so that's by default)

Re: 4. Beat that.

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

HI DERE WILCO LOVER

Re: Own or have owned

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

You have owned up to far worse misdemeanours than anything on that list! I bet it's Wilco.

Re: "have you owned" vs "do you own" TRAP

[chezghost.livejournal.com]
