MDXS
Ten of the Top in no particular order:

Opeth - Blackwater Park
Opeth - Deliverance
Mr. Bungle - Disco Volante
Pink Floyd - Animals
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
Monster Magnet - Dopes to Infinity
Primus - Frizzle Fry
Tool - Aenima
Soundgarden - Superunknown
Misfits - Static Age

I'm impressed by the overall quality in music listed thus far. Some crap has snuck in, but far, far less than what would be expected if we got lists from a cross-section of society as a whole.

1) Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven-GBYE!
2) Slow Riot For New Zero Kanada-GYBE!
3)Agaetis Byrjun-Sigur Ros
4)Young Team-Mogwai
5)Winter Hymn Country Hymn Secret Hymn-Do Make Say Think
6)Give Up-The Postal Service
7)A Strangely Isolated Place-Ullrich Schnauss
8)F#A#~-GYBE!
9)Happy Songs For Happy People-Mogwai
10)Superwolf-Bonnie Prince Billy


This list is probably more alt than anythin I come up with. You're new. You'e double-alt.

Did you like Superwolf? I did a lot, but some of the people I know that really dig Will Oldham weren't too turned out for it. I think it's a fantastic disc, though. "Beast for Thee" has been clutch for me in terms of "hey, this song might get me a blowjob." And "Blood Embrace" is just a fantasticly dark tune.

Great list.


I loved it. It's the only BPB album I've listened to so I can't compare it to anything else, but all the songs are little gems. My favourite song is What Are You, but they are all great. Almost equally so, which is weird.

Mogwai is rad. As good as Young Team is, I think EP2 is my favorite of theirs. Doesn't get much notice, but I really, really love it.

Agreed...

I'm pleasantly surprised at the number of indie fans around these parts. Go indie. Go poker.

Well, you should go ahead and download "I See a Darkness" with due haste. It's pretty sparse, sometimes, and tough to get a handle on. But when you do, it's one of the best albums you'll ever hear.

I personally prefer on the next track, when after the french girls finish talking it floats along a bit and then explodes. Also that drum bit in the middle of Providence, and all of Storm, which blows me away.

ok computer has to be the most overrated album of all time. it is a good, creative album, but it's not that special and probably isn't even the best radiohead album. i think a lot of its popularity must come from grammy exposure hype etc.


Worst....post....ever


umm - i wasn't trying to insult anyone. i own ok comp and i like it, but i don't even find it as compelling or interesting as other radiohead i've heard. a couple great songs, but seems kinda bland and mainstream overall for them. just trying to understand why it stands out so much to makes so many lists - this thread has happened before of course, and it's always the most mentioned album.

maybe i'm just a pig in a cage on antibiotics.

I went into college with a blind roommate assignment, and I was worried he'd suck real bad. At first I thought he was a dork. He was 6'5, and made the stupidest jokes.

Then we went to Mongolian BBQ, and the Grillers were pounding on the metal grill with their wooden sticks, and the sound it was making sounded real familiar. Right when I was about to ask, the new roomie, who I've had ezactly zero music conversations with, just starts belting out the lyrics to "Packt like sardines in a crusht tin box" (I'm a reasonable man, get off my case... etc), and I decided, "Hey, this kid might be pretty cool."

I didn't say much of anything, and when it came time to pay, he said to me and 3 other kids, "I'll be right back guys. I gotta go to moral/bank/hole in wall."

We were best friends in no time, and made entire groups of people uncomfortable by quoting random FitterHappier lyrics in only semi-appropriate situations.

"Good point, Kristin. You're an empowered and informed member of society. PRAGMATISM. Not, IDEALISM."

"Eh, I dunno how I feel about her. Fond, but not in love. Charity standing orders and all."

I think we've worked every single line into a conversation in a group except, "Not drinking too much."

This probably interests nobody except me, and I hate myself.

Top notch. Absolutely stellar.

In your honor, I'm putting on "You are the Quarry" the awesome Morrissey album.

For a while my guiltiest pleasure was "Tiny Music from the Vatican Gift Shop." For some reason "Adhesive Love" was stuck in my head for 3 years.

I did like them, but they haven't made an album I have liked in 11 years, so I have since forgotten about them....

I'm impressed with the Mr. Bungle choice. Mike Patton really gets no credit. The Frizzle Fry selection was interesting to me as well.....this is among my least favorite of any Primus albums, even though I still really enjoy it. I always was a big fan of the Brown Album, and Sailing the Seas of Cheese....

thats understandable. they did have a lot of problems as a band and didnt release new music very quickly, and of course they arnt a band anymore. but i would go back and check out tiny music and #4, the last cd they put out sucked, but those two were good.

and wang, i love the trumpet solo in Adhesive. my favorite song on that album is And So I Know, which is leading my itunes play count with over 100 plays. sometimes i just cant stop listening to it.

I still have the other albums that followed, I just wasn't a very big fan of any of them....I thought "Sour Girl" and "Trippin' on a Hole in a Paper Heart" were great singles....I was a huge STP fan when Core came out.... they just kind of fizzled out of my music rotation. Purple is still one of my favorite albums of the `90s. I can't get into the Velvet Revolver thing either.....I think I will throw Purple in for nostalgic purposes though today....

hahaha. i actually played in a cover band in college and we played a lot of STP. the singer was reeeeeally into them. it was fun to just turn the amp up to 11 and rock out. i've always been a fan.

seeing them live is pretty ridiculous too. weiland is a madman on stage.

Thats a great list. My only comment is that Dark Side is better than Wish You Were Here, and Led II is better than Led I. Still, a great top 5
