Red Cafe's Official Top 50 Albums Of All Time (2014 Edition) - Submission Thread

[Duffy]

Extending the dealine by a week - don't think I've promoted it well enough in the Entertainment Forum so want to get a true representation of the cafs opinion by getting as many submissions as possible...plus I'm sure there's still a few disputing their own lists and whether to change it

Bump.

 

[Stretch]

@Red Devil 26 thought I'd be the only one to post a full hip hop only list

 

[Red Devil 26]

@Red Devil 26 thought I'd be the only one to post a full hip hop only list

Yeah, so diverse! There really wasn't an album from another genre that I'd have listened to enough to threaten that top 15. Damn hard list to compile; even now I want to rip it apart and start afresh.

 

[R.N7]

Last day.

 

[Duffy]

Last day.

I know, what's the thinkin - do we have enough for me to pull together a final list?

 

[2 man midfield]

I know, what's the thinkin - do we have enough for me to pull together a final list?

Only 44 entries, but i think it's probably run its course.

 

[Nickosaur]

I reckon we can bump that up to 50 by the end of the day?

 

[amolbhatia50k]

1. Helplessness Blues - Fleet Foxes
2. Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes
3. Have one on me - Joanna Newsom

I could put more but they'd just be on the list because I couldn't think of others which is a bit pointless.

16-17 last time, so not that bad.

 

[2 man midfield]

Really? In that case that's pretty good.
