you think it's weaker than the newest one?

definately. HTTT has brilliant songs like "Sit Down, Stand Up" on it. Sure it is sketchy at best, but I still like the whole thing better than Pablo Honey.

Omarama

interesting list......

reeferchief

No Dinosaur Jr, Eleven, Screaming Trees, Blind Melon, Mudhoney, dude you need to check out these bands and be prepared to make changes:)
Also Chris Cornell - Euphoria Morning and The Pixies - Tromp Le Monde, two of the ninties finest albums imo.



edit: HOLY FUCKBALLS where is Dirt by Alice in Chains?:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

so Cracked Rear View is better than 3 Snakes? hahaha

Not sure if this is a sarcastic comment (my meter must be on the fritz)
but 3 snakes is not a good album. by far the weakest Crowes effort. Thankfully they rebounded with By Your Side.
Cracked Rear View is not so great either, which is why both of these are near the bottom of the list.

I also agree about Pablo Honey. Can't get into that one at all.

Whoever mentioned the Pixies, I'll give you that. That's a band I've heard a bit of and liked but never really taken the time get into. One of these days....

Echoes-

I'll check out the Built to Spill record. thanks for the recommendation.

oh fuck yeah that is a good point!! they should all b in there for sure!!

Very cool list.

I did not see any cracker on there. I thought they might be a band you like they have a little bit of an alt country vibe like uncle tupelo.

My list would be a bit different, but then again that's why it's my list and not yours

Yield = no. 65

Ten = Good album, would be fairly high on the list, but it's the only PJ album I don't own, so it's not there....

Kerosene Hat = no. 66. Great record, though it has its share of filler. Cracker is a good band, and you were right, I do like them. Need to get some of their other stuff. Any suggestions on which one to go with next?

BTW, I appreciate all the comments on the list, and the discussion, but what is with all the f-bombs? No big deal and I certainly throw my share around from time to time, but I just wondered why it was necessary to do so when talking about music on a message board.

THeir first self titled album with this iscracker soul, song about the rain, teen angst. That one has always been my fav.

I always thought you were a Jayhawks (the band) fan because of your name and you always seemed to respond to threads about jay farrar, uncle tupelo etc... lol i guess you are just a fan of he school and not the band. They were a decent little alt country band. I di dnot see one of their albums on your list though, but i could of missed it like i missed the Cracker album

YIELD # 65? Lack of Tragically Hip, Matthew Good Band (but I'll forgive you for those 2 because you are American and may be wondering who these bands are), Big Wreck, Guns n' fucking Roses, "Down on the Upside", STP's "Tiny Music", "Californication", I don't think I saw "Dirt" on there either. I like a lot of your selections though. Not a bad list at all.

edit: forgot Temple of the Dog and how about Rage Against the Machine.

Hooooooooold myyyyyy haaaaand......

Yeah I was being sarcastic (thought all the hahaha's would give it away), but like obviously you're like entitled to your opinions and stuff.

But if you really consider BYS a "rebound" from TSAOC then I guess we are on opposite ends of the spectrum. Which is fine, but you're clearly insane.

Peace on you and stuff.

They are a decent band, and I do have one of their discs on the list (Tomorrow the Green Grass at #56). You're right about my affections for the "alt-country" bands. But my name does come from my being a KU grad, not because of the band.

Wow. I completely forgot Rage. Rage Against the Machine's self-titled comes in at no. 19. What a great record. I'm ashamed that I forgot about it. Best workout album in existence. The only one of theirs that I currently own, but all of their stuff is pretty strong. Great lyrics, and very powerful, intense music to go with them.

Plus the comments about the jayhawks made me remember Golden Smog too. Forgot their album "Down by the old mainstream which hits at no.66.

Temple of the Dog's record, while featuring one of the great songs of the decade in Hunger Strike, was for me kind of weak overall. I know that's not a popular opinion 'round here, but it's mine & I'm sticking to it.

The dislike for Hootie is not surprising. They are sort of a guilty pleasure for me, at least their first two records. Not the second coming of the Beatles, I know, but I can't help singing along to those songs. Frankly I don't remember the last time I actually listened to one of those records all the way, but I do break them out once in a blue moon. Sue me.

Personally, PH is the weakest Radiohead album by a mile. Only one I don't own, only one I won't buy.

it's like you read my mind. if it was on sale for a penny i wouldn't buy it. i wouldn't listen to it if you gave it to me...not like you would because you don't like it either.

I'd buy it for a penny, I guess. I like having CDs, and then I'd have all their LPs, I guess.

But yeah I wouldn't spend five bucks on it
