DoofDoof 04.24.21	Apologies JKing, just posting in bits because otherwise sometimes it times out and I lose stuff if I do the whole list in one go. It's Sput. 'Wish You Were Here' was of course going to make the cut :)
NorthernSkylark 04.24.21	One of your top3 70’s, i actually don’t have anything to add except maybe a Bob Marley track but that’s a live one and I’m not sure if you include those on your journey...
JohnnyoftheWell 04.24.21	What is 1 plz can it be Ten Years Gone
DoofDoof 04.24.21	Sorry Johnny, ‘Ten Years’ is top three on that album though
zakalwe 04.24.21	Always found Kashmir very overrated myself. 1 is Simple Twist of Fate.
CaliggyJack 04.24.21	5 album overlap! This was our year Doof!
DoofDoof 04.24.21	Zak I’m a fan of Plant’s solo stuff so ‘Kashmir’ was always going to be a favourite, it’s overplayed but still classic ‘Stairway’ is the overrated one for me
theBoneyKing 04.24.21	Funny, after not knowing almost any of your mid-70s-mid-80s picks I know more than half of these - guess you’re hitting the point where there are fewer deep cuts/way more consensus greats.
DoofDoof 04.24.21	Boney - possibly just stronger albums but also you might have avoided punk a bit in your listening so far?
DoofDoof 04.24.21	Caliggy - thought you’d like this one Lark - think I’ve avoided live tunes, maybe Young’s ‘Hey Hey My My’ the only exception
theBoneyKing 04.24.21	Oh yeah I know almost no albums in that year range, honestly all my listening pre-90s is extremely spare. Might just be that I happen to know a decent amount of the 1975 consensus releases and that’s what’s represented here.
theBoneyKing 04.24.21	As far as my music knowledge goes, I started really getting into music in the early to mid-10s and accordingly most of my early favorites (and still most of my favorites) were acts who peaked ca. ‘97-‘07. Since then I’ve slowly worked my way backwards and filled out my knowledge of those eras to the point where I’ve started to push into the late ‘80s but still have a long way to go. I guess someday I’ll eventually work my way back to having a more thorough knowledge of the ‘60s-‘80s but it may not be for a long long time. It’s a marathon, not a sprint!
Ryus 04.24.21	boney check gram parsons - grievous angel
theBoneyKing 04.24.21	Ryus I know and dig some isolated Gram tunes, he’s def one I need to properly get into.
FabiusPictor202 04.24.21	these lists are just SO incredible, but did you know that you can make them even better? You can combine 10 top 10 lists into one super list of 100 songs! How cool would that be! That way I wouldn't have to keep seeing a new iteration of amazing lists every fucking time I look at the front page. A super list of that nature would immediately acquire legendary status and set the tone for years to come. You can do it pal, I believe in you. - FabiusPictor202
DoofDoof 04.24.21	Nah, you get a lot less discussion with a single list and the initial list is a chore to create in one go, esp on sput where editing is basically impossible Get used to these
zakalwe 04.24.21	Hahahaha Middle aged dad put down. Have some of that ya fuckers!!!!
DoofDoof 04.24.21	I love the implication sput is so overflowing in amazing daily content that putting up a list series is spamming stuff off the front page :D
FabiusPictor202 04.24.21	also Sowing puts out amazing daily content that I need to see, his lists and reviews are very important everyone should know this
CaliggyJack 04.24.21	"also Sowing puts out amazing daily content that I need to see, his lists and reviews are very important everyone should know this" This is the only smart thing you have said on this thread.
theBoneyKing 04.24.21	God I love 10 so much, one of my favorite country songs ever.
DoofDoof 04.24.21	It’s awesome
CaliggyJack 04.24.21	Doof teach me how to get people to comment on my threads like you? How do I become popular master doof?
DoofDoof 04.24.21	Well 10% of the users commenting are asking me to stop posting so many lists so :/
