oh hai, guess whut:
This is Acclaimed Music's aggregate list of the top 107 albums of the 1990s (as of now). Put any that you own in bold. Put any that you have heard all through or used to own in italics. Put a strikethrough any that you hate (whether you've heard them or not!). Underline any you want to hear. And put an asterisk by any that you would count as one of your own favourite albums of the 90s.

that is correct, no mansun.
do yr own list if you want mansun ;)
Get In - Kenickie
Whut whut? I think you're the first person I've heard suggest that the second album's better than the first (which is why I've never got it, in case I hate it). Expand further?
it's great.
clearly the first one has better singles on, but the second one hangs together as an alBUM better.
also it is a TOTAL EMOGOTHFEST of "boo hoo i'm so sad about being on tour and living in london and oh noes all the magazines want us to do gurly things and not taking us SRSLY even though it's kind of better than being at home, but i miss me mam" A+++++ would sob into pillow with again.
Hmm, I'll have to get it then. If only Fopp were open
...

Given I'm the kind of person that thinks John Coltrane rather than the Boo Radleys when you mention Giant Steps, you'd expect me to struggle to pick ten from the 1990s. But I can certainly find three great ones that slipped through the net, namely; Godspeed You! Black Emperor - F#A#∞
Boards Of Canada - Music Has A Right To Children
Cornelius - Fantasmaalong with pretty much everything that The Fall and HMHB released during that decade. As I commented on ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) lnr's journal, there appears to be a heavy bias towards indie and away from rock and jazz here. | |
