Been listening to Neil Young's Homegrown. I could really do without 'Florida', but other than that it is classic Neil. That got me to thinking what if he released it in the 70's when he recorded it which got me to thinking he would have released these albums in a row:

Everybody Knows This is Nowhere
After the Goldrush
Harvest
Time Fades Away
On the Beach
Homegrown
Tonight's the Night
Zuma

I know he's not everyone's cup of tea, but for my money, that's the best consecutive streak of albums in popular music. The only people to come close to it in my mind is the Beatles and they had 3 songwriters (sorry, Ringo).

Zeppelin is a fair point. I'd still take Neil because his style fits my tastes more, but I wouldn't argue against Zep.

Stones and Floyd that is only 4 albums. That's half of what I just listed from Neil.

I don't listen to Genesis, so no comment. I like a bunch of what Bowie did, but it's just not my taste in general.

Hard disagreement that those Neil albums are a step down from Harvest and After the Goldrush. On the Beach and TTN are my 2 favorite Neil albums and I'd take at least Zuma and Everybody Knows (and After the Goldrush) over Harvest which is saying something because Harvest is great.

I guess I like the looser, warts-and-all style more than the polished stuff.

What other records are up there for you?
Click to expand...

I did it awhile ago and usually when I think "top ten records" I think that it is more albums I can consistently listen to without getting bored.

Pixies - Surfer Rosa
Cursive - Domestica
Kayo Dot - Dowsing Anemone in Copper Tongue
Off Minor - In The Heat Death of the Universe
Talk Talk - Laughing Stock
Flying Lotus - Until the Quiet Comes
Organized Konfusion - Stress: The Extinction Agenda
Brian Eno - In Another Green World
Andrew Hill - Point of Departure
Pygmy Lush - Mount Hope

On the Beach would be in that grey area of the other 100 records I think should be on there.

The only pick I really know is Domestica, which I love. I just saw Cursive play an awesome show last year. I will have to check out some of your other picks.

From the things I never realized until flipping all the channels on XM radio file . . .

Dolly Parton did a remake of Stairway to Heaven.

sat feet away from him as he performed in the rec room of a church in downtown Oakland a few years ago. i handed him a wooden finial that he dropped. yes, he was playing a finial (one of those knobs at the end of a bedpost) by dragging it across some strings. was so damn awesome.
