Rank the Hip albums
#1

I`m well aware that this is the ultimate forum cliche, but after reading the widely differing opinions in the In View thread about where each album stands, I`m curious.

I used the search function, and was only able to find (several) threads talking about best and worst albums. I couldn`t find anything that included a top-to-bottom ranking. Forgive me if there is such a thread.

If you`re so inclined just list the albums (leave out the Best of and the live album) from favourite to least favourite. No need for an explanation, whether you like all 10 albums or just 2 of them.

I will use the `greater than` format popular on Simpsons forums.


DFN>PP>IBE>FC>UTH>RA>IVL>M@W>TATH>TTH

Cheers,
John

My greatest difficulty with ranking the albums is that my feelings towards a certain album/song change regularly. As well, your ranking system makes it impossible for me to have albums ranked as equals, which most would be for me.

Here's mine!

DFN>RA>TATH>UTH>>FC>PP>IBE>M@W>IVL>TTH

I echo Chris -- my favs tend to switch depending on frequency of listens and what kind of Hip mood I'm in.

Having said that, my list is pretty much static, except for a few on the lower end of the equation.

i tried. i can't.

although day for night is probably #1 and trouble at the henhouse and phantom power are tied for second. the rest are shuffled around in the bottom 7.

It is rather difficult.....

RA ≈ DFN ≈ TATH ≈ PP (all have their redeeming qualitahs) > FC > M@W > UTH > IVL > IBE > > > > > > > > > TTH

If the 3 unreleased IVL tracks had replaced my least favorite tracks, it might go:

RA ≈ DFN ≈ TATH ≈ PP > IVL > M@W > UTH >IBE > > > > > > > > > TTH

As of now...

DFN>PP>IBE>FC>RA>IVL>UTH>TATH>M@W>TTH

Actually, that's the way it almost always is in my mind.

Here we go...

1. DFN, PP, TATH
2 (or 4 depending upon your reasoning). RA, FC, M@W
3 (or 7). IVL, UTH, IBE

I think. Maybe.

I think.

DFN and FC are definitely numbers 1 and 2 and TTH is definitely last. The others could change depending on things like mood, time, place, weather, all kinds of stuff. Smile

I tend to fall in love with albums if I hear them for the first time after having gone without for a bit. "Trouble" is still my favourite album by any band, but the rest is pretty fluid.

1. Trouble At The Henhouse
2. Fully Completely
3. Phantom Power
4. Day For Night
5. Road Apples
6. Up To Here
7. Music At Work
8. In Violet Light
9. In Between Evolution
10. Baby Blue Debut

my list... but like the other posts the order shifts depending on time and space... RA will always be #1 however because at the time I greatly anticipated its arrival after wearing out my UTH cassette

it did not disappoint
