Some wicked albums here! I could never whittle it down to so few.
But...I've been sucked in so here's a few I think are good (off the top of my head and trying to exclude those previously mentioned):
Pet Sounds - Beach Boys
After the Goldrush - Neil Young
Sign O The Times - Prince (tho techinically this ain't a brilliant album - it goes on too long)
Dolittle - Pixies
Surfer Rosa - Pixies
13 Chambers - Wu Tang Clan (again prob too long to be a great album)
Bizarre Ride II Pharcyde - Pharcyde (as above but was there ever a good hip hop ALBUM?)
Nowhere - Ride
Bryter Later - Nick Drake
Slanted & Enchanted - Pavement
Abattoir Blues / Lyre of Orpheus - Nick Cave
This omits lots of really good new stuff - but don't think it's stood the test of time to be counted yet (Nick Cave scrapes in - it's been about 5 years since that album came out now...)
Oh, and based on the music tastes shown here, most of you should check out BBC 6 Music (if you haven't already).
I never understand how people enjoy Nick Drake,Pavement or Neil Young. I find them boring and monotonous!
