HECKLER SPRAY 10.20.2008 04:10 PM

suspenseful !!!

atari 2600 10.20.2008 04:20 PM

ten honorable (er, "honourable") mentions

three of which should definitely have placed higher


57) Nirvana - Unplugged in New York (57? Say what? This is a joke!)

56) Jesus Lizard - Goat (56? Surely you didn't come of age in the '90s!)

53) Fugazi - Repeater (This most likely deserves better than 53rd place.)


shame on you all

haha

HECKLER SPRAY 10.20.2008 04:24 PM

Yeah, especially Repeater, it should be in the top 30.


I'm also surprised by EJSTANS rank.
Everybody on the board (except me and few wise people) love this album.

I was thinking this t'other day actually. There's a lot of people on this board for whom the idea of '90s records' is a nostalgic one (that is, one they weren't really there for). I only just qualify for remembering the 90s in my late teens, but I was 11 or 12 when Kurt died. I didn't really start listening to stuff that I can still bear until I was 17 or so ('99) so I'm in the worst position of faintly remembering some stuff but not really being there with a developed set of faculties.

How many people here really did come of age in the '90s? Few, I should imagine.

I was 21 in 2000, so probably qualify.

Well, I lost my man-hymen last century, so I do too, but you know what I mean.

Do you mean that someone cut your foreskin ?



Nevermind.

Glice 10.20.2008 04:43 PM

Yes, as is the tradition of coming of age. When a man and a woman love each other very much, the woman decides to take a razor and give them half a jew-cock.

HECKLER SPRAY 10.20.2008 04:57 PM

I've never heard about this tradition. Maybe I'm still a virgin.


Back to the topic :

I'm pleased to see that Nevermind is not in the top 20.
even though 24 is too high for this album IMO.

lechaoscestmoi 10.20.2008 05:26 PM

my prediction: 1) spiderland 2) loveless

which i think are truly the greatest albums of the 90's, so you won't see me complaining.
