I suppose you have trouble relating to a list that doesn't include anything prior to 1993….

Give the guy some credit, I think he's going to see Belle and Sebastian. Mankie, you do know that's a band and not that childrens book, don't you?

NMH as number one MIGHT be stretching it. Have they ever been number one on any list? they were due.

GGW is so lame he could give his over-used tired old jokes a number at this point…he would only need the fingers on one hand to take care of them all.

I won't even begin to say what is wrong with that list. I own about 75% of those records…most of them are good, a few even great. Before everyone rips me a new one for my taste in music, I'd really be curious to see what other people put in their top 20…because maybe there are some classic records out there I've overlooked and should buy. My list would run something like this:

20) Air Miami – Me, Me, Me
19) Sugar – Beaster EP
18) Air – Moon Safari
17) Boo Radleys – Giant Steps
16) Moby – Everything is Wrong
15) Chemical Brothers – Dig Your Own Hole
14) New Order – Get Ready
13) Queens of the Stone Age – Songs for the Deaf
12) Shellac – At Action Park
11) Yo La Tengo – And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside Out
10) Heatmiser – MIC City Sons
9) Belle and Sebastian – If You're Feeling Sinister
8) Radiohead – OK Computer
7) Paw – Dragline
6) Social Distortion – Live at the Roxy
5) Jawbreaker - Dear You
4) PJ Harvey - Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea
3) Red House Painters - Red House Painters (rollercoaster cover)
2) Elliott Smith – Figure 8
1) Catherine Wheel – Chrome

#4

Well I would appear to have 6 of those albums, dont think any of the ones I have are that great. Maybe Urban Hymns would scrape my top 20, but I doubt it.

Calexico is fine, but it really isnt that great.

Super furry animals rings around the world
Delgados Hate

would make my list though, but I find it hard to remember what makes the cut off…. I didnt think that breeders album would make it.

Where is Ned's Atomic Dustbin?

They had three or four good songs, in total…..

Lambchop and nixon would be another reasonable choice.

God Fodder came out too early (1991) for the list.

There are actually 60 albums on the list in the magazine.

I would definitely include

The Shape of Punk To Come - Refused
De Stijl - White Stripes
Remote Part - Idlewild
Distored Lullabies - Ours
Dig Your Own Hole - Chemical Brothers
Hail To The Thief I of course
and maybe that first Staind album (dont kill me)

Jeff Buckley - Grace

nmh is on every critics list, makes sense that it gets number one. i always favored bee thousand over alien lanes, crooked rain should be higher, but that's about as solid a list as you could expect from a magazine. excluding nirvana.

agreed.

but Tortiose shouldnt be on ANYONES list. They are horrible.
and Nirvana i think won a spot on every list ever made…for some reason.
