    In an approximation of order - I could have honestly spent all day making a list of 10 and not being able to appropriately rank them. This will do for now.

    1) Neutral Milk Hotel - In The Aeroplane Over The Sea
    2) Built To Spill - Perfect From Now On
    3) Pavement - Slanted + Enchanted
    4) Strapping Young Lad - City
    5) Slint - Spiderland
    6) My Bloody Valentine - Loveless
    7) Radiohead - OK Computer
    8) Matthew Good Band - Underdogs
    9) Talk Talk - Laughing Stock
    10) At The Gates - Slaughter Of The Soul
