fuck it, I'm not even trying. I love so much music it's hard to name just 10 albums. And I don't like nearly as much music as some of you guys.

Really great list... I was desperate to get some Dead C and Harry Pussy in my top 10 but there was no room...

Yeah, I think everybody's list is on reserve to change at any notice.

I know what albums would probably be top ten, but determining an exact order is the tricky part.

I don't know why it came as a bit surprise to someone here to mention wigwam, not that I'm a big fan of theirs, only familiar with some stuff


slint - spiderland
modest mouse - the lonesome crowded west
fun - ep
sigur rós - agaetis byrjun
the jesus lizard - liar
notkea rotta - itä meidän
sonic youth - murray street
nirvana - bleach
the replacements - let it be
mummypowder - the heavyweight champions

droney space rock from michigan, they've been around since the early 90s and have put records out on kranky. kind of like the more spaced out mbv tracks crossed with stars of the lid. introspection, drawing of sound, conciousness, & depths are their best records.

That is like nearly mine alternative top ten...damm

The German Album - The House of Love
Ocean Rain - Echo and the Bunnymen
Tinderbox - Siouxsie and the Banshees
Head Over Heels - Cocteau Twins
Blind - The Sundays
The Nephilim - Fields of the Nephilim
Tweez - Slint
Turn on the Bright Lights - Interpol
The Death of Cool - Kitchens of Distinction
Grace - Jeff Buckley

SY-Murray St.
SY-DDN
Clouddead - dto
Boards of Canada - BoC Maxima
Madvillain - Madvillainy

NO! NYC G&F is high ranked here too. a thousand leaves NYC and murray street what a period!!!

Amazing record, excellent pick. Sorry Ma was my favorite of theirs for a long time, now it's this one, terrific songs.


Hahahaha. I like that Jeff Buckley record though.

Damn straight. It's a classic.

For once i agree with you, it's a great epic album but also proved that interpol was a one trick pony

Yeah, I was being a bit of a dick and for that I am sorry. I just liked 'em better way back when they were called "Joy Division".

Actually that Interpol record is excellent. Still a shit band though.

^^that kinda nails it
