You could do this by genre, a top ten would be too difficult. You would forever be remembering albums that you would want to put back in. Heres ten of my favourites from the 90s

Badmotorfinger
No Code
Earth Vs The Wildearts - The Wildhearts
Dirt
Pantera - Far Beyond Driven
OK Computer
Slayer - Seasons in the Abyss
Megadeth - Rust In Peace
Kyuss - Blues for the Red Sun
Electric Wizard - Come my fanatics

These always sound great, every time I play them.

Hang on, I need to put Faith No More KFADFFAL in there!

Maybe not the best, but my favorite...

1. Kyuss - Blues For The Red Sun

Shit. I forgot about Kyuss. Welcome to Sky Valley was the one that did it for me. I need to fix my list and put that on there. 

SP145555

Also forgot Manic Street Preachers - The Holy Bible.

Too many great albums to list ten.

I did this list back in Jan '06 (I should update it/redo it since i forgot some good ones and would leave some bands/artists off this one like Limp Bizkit)

Can we add The Wallflowers to your brand of distastefulness?

So I'm sitting here watching the Joe Rogan Experience episode with Liz Phair, which aired in April of this year.  Holy fuck is Liz still sexy as hell!!  That woman is 51 years old and looks 30 tops.
