Origin of Symmetry is English rock band Muse's second album' date=' released in the summer of 2001 on Mushroom Records in the UK. "Plug In Baby", "New Born", "Bliss", "Feeling Good" and "Hyper Music" were the singles from this album; the latter two were released together as a double-A-side.[/quote']

 

If you're going to pillage someone else's ideas' date=' then go for broke. Because even if you find yourself crammed between the barriers of creative space, utterly at a loss for ideas, expression, or thought, you'd still have your self-respect buzzing in your ear like a mad angelic insect, putting down his newspaper and taking out his cigar to remind you that, hell, if want to sound like Radiohead when even Thom Yorke doesn't want to sound like Radiohead, you might as well take it to such preposterous, bombastic, over the top levels -- church organs, mental electronics, riffs bouncing off each other like the monolithic screams in 2001 -- that you'd finally be in position to crack skulls like coconuts and make the world's speakers ooze gooey blood.[/quote']

it's your opinion and you're more than entitled to it. takk is a top album for me and isn't for others. that's just the way things go.

either way, sigur ros have rightfully made it to the top 20 and who knows to what ranking takk will be, so well done it to so far :nice:

 

 

^U2, the joshua tree! ah how wonderful. i completely didn't have them on my list which i should've! great album!!!

i love takk too,but it isnt in my top 10

Can't believe The Killers beat White Album. I mean, ok, people here love The Killers, but it's WHITE ALBUM! Everyone loves it, everyone loves The Beatles :tongue:

And Muse.... Oh god, it's so sad to see my favourite The Beatles's album so low. Though it's just board's opinion after all :mean:

Amnesiac is the fifth studio album by the English band Radiohead. It was released on June 4' date=' 2001 in the United Kingdom and on June 5 in the United States and Canada, debuting at #1 on the UK charts and #2 on the Billboard Top 200. Seen as the furthest departure yet from the arena rock style and heart-on-sleeve songwriting of the band's early career, Amnesiac nevertheless has more audible guitar than its direct predecessor Kid A, and unlike that album, it spun off several singles. Like Kid A, it synthesizes influences of electronic and ambient music, and incorporates jazz.[/quote']

 

Quality aside' date=' the questionable sequencing of Amnesiac does little to hush the argument that the record is merely a thinly veiled b-sides compilation...[/quote']

P.S. 1 song=2 completely different versions=2 highlights

:smug:

good place! :grin: It could be higher, but the truth is that only the best albums remain now.... *g*

:happy:

Well, Amnesiac can't be higher than OKC or Kid A =)

 

I actually hope that Kid A will beat OKC... Unlikely though.

Not bad about Radiohead, not bad at all!

 

Sigh shame about The White Album

Abbey Road is the eleventh official album recorded by The Beatles. Although its release preceded that of Let It Be' date=' it was the last album to be recorded. It was released on September 26, 1969 in the United Kingdom and October 1, 1969 in the United States. It was produced and orchestrated by George Martin for Apple Records. Geoff Emerick was the engineer and Tony Banks, tape operator. It is considered one of the Beatles' most tightly constructed albums, [1'] [2] somewhat ironically, as the band was barely operating as a functioning unit by this point in time.[2]

 

The last Beatles album to be recorded (although Let It Be was the last to be released)' date=' Abbey Road was a fitting swan song for the group, echoing some of the faux-conceptual forms of Sgt. Pepper, but featuring stronger compositions and more rock-oriented ensemble work. The group was still pushing forward in all facets of its art, whether devising some of the greatest harmonies to be heard on any rock record (especially on "Because"), constructing a medley of songs/vignettes that covered much of side two, adding subtle touches of Moog synthesizer, or crafting furious guitar-heavy rock ("The End," "I Want You (She's So Heavy)," "Come Together"). George Harrison also blossomed into a major songwriter, contributing the buoyant "Here Comes the Sun" and the supremely melodic ballad "Something," the latter of which became the first Harrison-penned Beatles hit. Whether Abbey Road is the Beatles' best work is debatable, but it's certainly the most immaculately produced (with the possible exception of Sgt. Pepper) and most tightly constructed.[/quote']

14. The Beatles - Abbey Road

Now that's sad :(

23 # The Killers - Hot Fuss

Great Place ! im satisfied :smug:

Now that's sad :(

 

 

definitely,not deserves to be so high

What are you talking about? Abbey Road is brilliant!

Well, Amnesiac can't be higher than OKC or Kid A =)

 

I actually hope that Kid A will beat OKC... Unlikely though.

I like all three albums, but they're pretty close on my current (!) list. Too bad I haven't listened to Kid A more and placed it higher, as it's better than OKC...:angry:

Takk... (Thanks...) is the fifth full-length studio album by the Icelandic band Sigur Rós. The first singles' date=' "Glósóli" and "Sæglópur", were released on August 15, 2005 and August 16, 2005 respectively, the former worldwide and the latter only in the United States. The single "Hoppípolla" was released in the UK on 28 November 2005 and entered the singles chart at #35 on 4 December. Upon its re-release in May 2006 it reached #24 in the UK chart.[/quote']

 

Takk... is still very much a Sigur Rós album' date=' due in large part to the ever-present, otherworldly vocals, but also because the only real changes are the activeness of some arrangments.[/quote']
