Take the test as per the link below:
www.influentialalbums.com
If you have more than 70 of these in your collection you are deemed a real muso (or a really sad git whichever way you want to look at it).
I've only got 42 and I'll bet nobody's got the Dave Brubeck Five album. |

I got 32. I only have Brubeck's Time Further Out so I couldn't check that one...
There are a couple of bands that I hate on there though, so my score looks better if you remove Yes, pink floyd, oasis, the strokes, rem and radiohead.

I'll take this as soon as someone converts it to a non-fucking-Facebook quiz.
But I've got 5/8 of those shown on the front page so I'll claim 62½ %. |

| I own 37 (actual retail versions, not digital copies) but I've heard or owned another 40 that I didn't deem worth having/keeping. (How many times do you have to hear Trout Mask Replica or Pet Sounds to know you're never going to "get it"?) |

The list's implausibility is totally given away by the inclusion of Slowdive. WTF

| Why is there a jazz album? I thought it was a rock list. If we're going to open that door, where is Beethoven's Ninth Symphony? Robert Johnson? Hank Williams? But we have "Close to the Edge", Arcade Fire and the wrong Stooges album... BAH! |

That's definitely not the wrong Stooges album. Besides the Wierdness there's not really such a thing. I know Raw Power had a major influence on the Sex Pistols and a few other punks but Fun House influenced the Ramones, Nick Cave, Pixies, etc. Both were massive.
An ideal list would include the two alright.
Arcade Fire, whether you like their music or not, have spawned a shitload of imitators in their short lifetime so I can see why they are listed.
Zen Arcade should be there. And The Velvet Underground & Nico album. |

It's great that The Fall are included, and granted that band has a lot of releases, but the selection they chose for the list r,is an odd one. "Hex Enduction Hour," "Live At The Witch Trials," "Dragnet," or "The Wonderful and Frightening World of The Fall" woulda been much better picks.

I agree, the inclusion of Slowdive is daft. The fact that they have three of the 'seminal' shoegaze albums and some of the other picks says a lot about the peeps who compiled the list.
And why no Black Sabbath?? |

32 The The - Soul Mining (cassette)
33 Nirvana – Nevermind (cd)
37 Lou Reed – Transformer (cassette)
38 The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses (cd) Worse cd purchase ever. Flung it across the room till it broke.

52 Ramones – Ramones (cassette)
60 Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin IV (vinyl and CD)

72 The Velvet Underground - The Velvet Underground (cassette)
74 The White Stripes – Elephant (cd)
87 Pixies – Doolittle (vinyl and CD)
91 The Beatles – Revolver (vinyl)
96 The Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness (CD)
These are my alternates for the ones I don't have:
5 Jimi Hendrix – Are You Experienced (CD) and Best of (cassette)
16 Van Morrison – Best of (CD)
17 Yes – Classic Yes (vinyl)
20 Talking Heads – Stop Making Sense and Little Creatures (cassettes)
51 David Bowie – Ziggy Stardust… (vinyl and CD)
56 Neil Young – Decade (best of) (CD)
97 The Rolling Stones – Beggars Banquet (vinyl)
Looks like I have some more 'new' music to check out.

I walked into a very historic bar downtown and they were playing a phenomenally groovy song.
And it was still grooving ten minutes later. That's why I bought that Stone Roses album. I can't think of another track on it. |

Yes! They were trying to stay away from the albums that always get name-dropped. Probably why they picked Revolver over Sgt. Pepper's. And are all the albums on the list more influential than Tommy?
And I have to confess... I've been buying music for almost 35 years (probably about half of it by artists from the British Isles) and I have no fucking clue who John Martyn is.
Lists piss me off. |

| i like unknown entries for checking some new old music, other than that i don't take the list seriously; one album per act, the total of 100, putting it on facebook, doesn't say whom or what they influenced (a generation of musicians or someone's wallet for a week?) |
