^I still have to listen to that first Atlas Sound album.

it's a little patchy but there are some corkers on there

at 14 songs long if he had trimmed it a little it could have been very very good but it's well worth a listen as it is for the gems.

SO HARDDDD ;_;

Best list so far, although Coldplay and Badly Drawn Boy wouldn't be on mine, on a side not The Slim Shady LP wasn't his first album, I'm not even a big fan and I know that:P

i didn't realise infinite counted but i suppose it does. i went for his first major label album so yeah strike it from the list. i presumed infinite wasn't a proper album.

 

and i wouldn't class myself as a fan. especially when he tries to be serious, and almost everything after marshall mathers lp

I find some of his songs funny but I'm overall not a fan of the whole genre.

it's not a genre i spend much time delving into deeply or even listening to on a regular basis but there are things to be take from every genre out there. or almost every genre.

I think your list is really good, I would like to add Gish by The Smashing Pumpkins it was a good rock album and a good debut.

that was an album i decided against putting in, simply because i hadn't heard it enough but it was well considered and would have easily made the top 50

 

 

and thank you

I think it's a really impressive debut myself.

Question 2:

With regarding to the who, would you accept "The Who Sings My Generation" as well as "My Generation"?

 

The Who Sings My Generation was their American Debut which had a different tracklisting to the UK's My Generation

i'll have to give it some more listens before the time runs out then. i can't remember quite a few of the songs but once i'm reminded it will at least be able to become 39th. i can see it being higher though of course

Question 2:

With regarding to the who, would you accept "The Who Sings My Generation" as well as "My Generation"?

 

The Who Sings My Generation was their American Debut which had a different tracklisting to the UK's My Generation

 

i'd go for first release so the uk one in this case. it is a proper album and the first they released. i wouldn't be against you putting the U.S one but putting both would seem a bit much. pick your favourite perhaps.

Simon, you should magically appear to answer the questions now:P

One of the few lists in which I can't blame Coldplayers for not voting for Radiohead...

 

I'll have my list done soon :)

I hate to sound like a Coldplay fangirl, but Parachutes is just amazing :embarrassed: I STILL THINK THERE ARE MANY ARTISTS WHO ARE BETTER THAN COLDPLAY, but nothing can beat the tranquility of songs like Don't Panic, Sparks, and Everything's Not Lost.

38) Jota Quest - J. Quest

39) Royksopp - Melody A.M.

40) Sublime - 40oz. to Freedom

 

The second half my list isn't very accurate at all. It's a lot of mediocre debut albums, but I love the artists, so I figured I would give them some votes.

Meh, Wedding Crashers ruined Sparks for me. :disappointed:

What's the verdict on solo albums? (Jonsi, Thom Yorke etc.)

If you ban these three bands:

Coldplay

Muse

Radiohead

Otherwise we'd know the results.

Parachutes.

Origin of Symmetry.

Pablo Miel.

Showbiz was Muse's debut, not Origin of Symmetry.

oh yeah ma bad.... anyway I think people will vote for coldplay and muse

 

And...Solo Artists do count :)

 

So...you could do Thom Yorke's debut AND the Radiohead debut.

 

Nevermind, question answered.
