Yes I know. This has been done already and it came up then, but I still hold to my belief that a few days shouldn't hold back a masterpiece that spectacular. Not to mention, who cares?

Actually, I'm wrong. Vision Creation was denied in the 2000s thread because it came out in 1999.

Which was in the 90s.

I'll just always know that on my own list, it's the best of both decades.

Hah, glad you like it!

Here's a video that Johnny Depp (before he was famous) took of Frusciante's house during that period. It's quite heartbreaking, really.

Weird that you use a Captain Beefheart reference... Captain Beefheart is one of John's favourite bands! Seriously, what the fuck is he doing in Red Hot Chili Peppers?

This is difficult. The other ones were easy because I automatically know my all time favourites, and because I don't have much music from the 00s. I'll try doing ten.
1. Ed Kuepper - Honey Steel's Gold
2. Ride - Nowhere
3. Ed Kuepper - Today Wonder
4. The Aints - Ascension
5. Darkthrone - Transilvanian Hunger
6. Mayhem - Live in Leipzig
7. Ed Kuepper - Black Ticket Day
8. Ed Kuepper - A King in the Kindness Room
9. Happy Mondays - Pills'n'Thrills and Bellyaches
10. Fimbulwinter - Servants of Sorcery

on the VCN issue, I shall allow it, the earliest release is the deluxe edition in October 1999 in Japan, then the single disc in December, it doesn't matter where it was released first, i mean Boris' first two weren't distributed in the west until southern lord came in 01, but they certainly count

I started to do this, and then realised I couldnt do it in any real order

and then realised I kind of hate 'top' lists because the whole point IS putting things in order


but this thread is ace anyway.

I'll come back with a list in brackets or something.

vision creation newsun was late 99.

But yes I was wrong, god time and causality came out late 89! So... change my # 1 to:

john fahey - City of Refuge.

I did 27 I only realised when I got to it andn then I didnt want to take any out.. it actually took a long time. everything I've listed is an album I can't imagine not existing, for either just my own super passionate love of it, or because of its general influence on a lot of later bands I love. there is only 1 non mainstream album in my list, so i dont have nerd points. but there you go.


jeff buckley - grace
janes addiction - ritual de lo habitual
red hot chilli peppers - blood sugar sex magik
pj harvey - dry/rid of me(I cant choose)
nick cave - let love in
yo la tango - painful
pixies - trompe le monde
portishead - dummy
fiona apple - tidal
mudhoney - my brother the cow
hole - live through this
nirvana - nevermind
sonic youth - dirty
dinosaur jr - green mind
porno for pyros - good gods urge
the lemonheads - its a shame about ray
placebo - without you im nothing
bjork - debut
lamb - fear of fours
lino - lino (not the hip hop dood)
massive attack - mezzanine
pavement - slanted and enchanted
john frusciante - niandra lades and usually just a t-shirt
mercury rev - yerself is steam
radiohead - ok computer
tori amos - from the chiorgirl hotel
manic street preachers - holy bible





I really wanted the moon and antarctica but it was 6 months late. : /

Yeah, it's like that for me too.

I did think of Action Swingers while making my post, but then forgot. Well, at least no one else remembered them either. At any rate, in a top 100, at least the self-titled has gotta be there.
