It's a solid list, no surprises, but I couldn't argue much with that, given what I've heard.

Wu tang clan doesn't sound very indie rock, no ?
It's an american rap band.

i had somewhere in the range of 28 to 30 or so voters, most shared their results in public, but some sent only through PM

Given how well mostly sub-par SY albums have done in the 90's & 00's lists, I hereby predict that the top 5 in the 80's list will be DDN, Sister, Evol, Bad Moon & Confusion. Probably in that order.

Sarcasm? I'm well-aware of Wu-Tang and they deserve a spot on the list for sure. Indie rock? Where did that come from?

Ok, I didn't mean this band has nothing to do on that list. It's just that Mr Ihateyou was complaining about the too many "american teen albums". I mentioned this band to explain him that he was wrong.
End of the story.

Oh, right-o. Play on.

I cannot BELIEVE that Repeater is not listed as the number one album.

Why, if I were half the man I were FIVE years ago, I'd take a FLAMETHROWER to this PLACE!!!

Only 3 syllables worth hearing: Re-Pea-Ter.

1 2 3

Toilet & Bowels 10.20.2008 07:55 PM

i can't believe anyone actually voted for radiohead

gmku 10.20.2008 07:56 PM

You, Sir, are OUT of ORDER!!!

punkaspoo 10.20.2008 08:39 PM

I was pretty sure that Spiderland would be number one

pantophobia 10.20.2008 08:45 PM

in the first few days, i thought so too, then loveless just took off and was unreachable, washing machine did close the gap at the very end

ok computer was in 4th place for a long time too until the last few votes put at action park and atl ahead of it

batreleaser 10.20.2008 09:04 PM

good top 5

davenotdead 10.20.2008 09:23 PM

damnit, i thought vision creation newsun was deemed as a 2000 release?? so i didn't count it.

also, 4 SY albums in the top 10, ahaha

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


shame on you all

haha


I'm pretty sure Repeater was in my top 10. Don't blame me.


Really surprised that not a single Fugazi album made the top 50. They're one of my favorite bands of the 90s.

Only one thing to say:

Loveless isn't a very good record. In my opinion. But man what a boring record. Should have been called Lifeless. I've said all this before though so I'll stop............

Otherwise, good list! REALLY surprised "Goat" wasn't in the top 10 or something. What a great fucking record. Not surprised that Thinking Fellers wasn't in the list though they should have been. Good to see so many Boredoms albums in there.

Death & the Maiden 10.21.2008 02:59 AM

I only own about five of those albums (some SY and S&E), and none of the ones I would've voted for would have got in.
