AHS Top 100 Albums Of All Time 2005!

[Mad_Cactuar]

So EMMA's ok with you Sven? She released Free Me in the UK on 2003 (I bought it 2004) and the singles were Free Me, Maybe, I'll Be There and Crickets Sing For Anamaria. Even the vids were released some time ago but its being rehashed on US televisions. So whaddya say? Can or cannot?

Ah, TeamAyu, just as a reminder, 'ageha' and 'MUSIC' is from 05.

Top 25 was too little, so I forced myself to do a top 50. Several great releases I've confirmed to be all time favourites from 05 had to be left out though.

They're all Chinese and Japanese though, seeing as I only started listening to English music again this year, it haven't sunk in yet. I'm gonna do the CD cover thing like sven too. In brackets are the original album titles if they weren't originally in English.

Sven, perhaps a 'Top (100) Songs Of All Time' thread would be good to create. If I were to list my favorite albums they would probably be strictly Japanese, but with songs, I would have much more of a variety. We could even upload the songs in our list.

[ph33r]

Is instrumental music allowed?
Ie, Final Fantasy or classical music? =)

[~K+]

^ I'm sure it is if OSTs are allowed.

[TeamAyu]

Ah boo I totally forgot... well time to reupdate the list! I had more time to think about it too.

YEAH I wanted "Extraordinary Machine" on mine Poo.

I still got to get around and buy all of her albums.

Yep, this album is from 2003! The Brazilian version of the album came out on 2004, only the US version came out on 2005. It would be unfair not to count it =/

[sxesven]

I Googled Emma Bunton - Free Me and it came back with 2005 being the release date, so that's why I thought it was that recent--didn't know that was just the US release. So, yup, it definitely counts.

Jeez. =/ At least provide some suggestions if you're blabbing stuff like this. What's wrong with the point system? And what's wrong with the artist restrictions?

'But whatever.'

Yeah, I really see your point there. Huzzah.

Be constructive, maybe that would actually lead to something.

If anyone has any suggestions about the point system or anything, bring 'em on, just don't go 'whatever this sucks BLAH' please. If anyone needs any explanation about the restrictions, just ask.

Feel free to create one. I personally am an 'album' person rather than a 'song' person, so I preferred listing favorite albums. It could easily provide a lot of variety, that highly depends on the tastes of people here I guess. Don't get me wrong, I like the song idea, but feel free to make one yourself. =)

Guys, excellent lists being posted here, awesome. js_surrealism, I love yours.
