Did Ten really have a massive musical impact at the time? Sure, it sold a shit load of copies but so do Nickelback. I love Ten, but I wouldn't call it a revolutionary album.
Did Ten really have a massive musical impact at the time? Sure, it sold a shit load of copies but so do Nickelback. I love Ten, but I wouldn't call it a revolutionary album.
and weezer's album was? cmon, this is pretentious hipster nonsense. i'm not a huge fan of ten, but to not have a single pearl jam album in the top 100? hell, they could have gone with vitalogy or no code and given some sanctimonious sermon about how a huge band could still do their own thing. 2 bjork albums in the top 20? you're kidding right? i have a pretty good number of hipster friends and i STILL dont know anyone that even owns a single bjork album. the list is laughable. it's not just the lack of pearl jam, it's the lack of a number of bands doing incredible, innovative work in the 90s and the inclusion of a bunch of incredibly lame novelty acts just to show they listen to more cd's than you.
that is weird that there is no NIN on the list. oh well, he got number 1 right..... although im surprised he didnt have KID A on there. its just one guys opinion, though. the day that someone puts a top 100 of.... whatever..... out and EVERYONE agrees with it, ill be blown away.
that's kind of indicative of pitchfork though. no oasis, but lots of pulp. no pearl jam, lots of pavement. pitchfork is incredibly lame and its writers and readers are all douchebags. this list isn't the best albums of the 90s... it's the "cool person's pretend list of the best albums of the 90s so you can avoid having to admit to liking anything popular and to appear more edgy and informed than your college roommate who was out getting laid and drunk while you sat home and masturbated to fugazi posters."
lol
i have wished for so long, how i wish for you today
JEFFREY ROSS ROGERS 1975-2002
fuck 'em indeed, but I was pleased to see a list that didn't have nevermind as the best...the greatest piece of music the human mind could ever aspire to create like so every other rag that does a list apparently believes it to be
All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow
They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all
The word 'random' springs to mind. Sure there was stuff on there that really deserved to be there but about half of it was pretty obscure. It was exactly the sort of list you would expect from people who put OK Computer at number one. Ponces.
I'm not gonna pretend that I know of every indie band that released an album in the 90's...but com'on...any top 100 list of the 90's...an era that I listened to everything under the sun...and I've only heard of 80% of these bands is just ridiculous!
This is a list for the music elitist. The list should be called...a nerds list of the top 100 albums of the 90's.
"Oh look how cool I am...I can make a list without the most "popular" bands/hip hop artist of the 90's."
Fuck you Pitchfuck! How dare you pretend what really happened in the 90's didn't happen...why can't you just speak the truth?
ZERO CREDABILITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Had my eyes peeled both wide open, and I got a glimpse...of my innocense, got back my inner sence, baby got it...still got it"
"Pitchfork seems to be run by geeks who feel cool for liking bands that nobody has heard of."
I know people like that!
I think people like that are the ones wearing the tshirts with the slogan in my signature
The 90's covered my entire teenage years, and while I wasn't into all the "coolest" music during that time, I'd say that list doesn't come close to representing the "best of" that period.....
No Pearl Jam, No Guns N' Roses, no Nine Inch Nails, etc...though I do like the two Weezer albums on the list, the Blue album might be a little too high. (Then again...maybe not, compared to the other entries on that list)
Thanks EPOTTSIII!

guns n roses' use your illusion doesn't deserve to be on the list (both of them). they were pretty weak. no pearl jam or nine inch nails is heartbreaking, but im happy that radiohead and weezer were on there.

Buh-buh-buh-buh Bad Ass!
If I was to smile and I held out my hand
If I opened it now would you not understand?
I think their intro says it all..... they didn't even inlcude PJ in the list of groups that didn't make it. They are basically giving them a big FU. It's sad but it only advertises their intentions even more and evaporates any notion of objectivity. Don't waste any energy on them.
The 5 mins I just spent looking at that, i'm never gonna get back! :(
Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...
... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.
If you go and read this sites review of Lollapalooza 07, it's seems the reviewer
had a good time during the PJ show but is almost ashamed to admit it. He also is judging them on a festival show where they pretty much blazed through all their greatest hits as opposed to what a normal PJ show is like. Anyway it's worth a look because thats the feeling I got.

i can see where people enjoy the cds because they were epic in a way. but along with epic, the next word id describe them as is contrived.
you could be mine is a awesome song, though.
I own 52 of those albums. There is some really good music on there.
they get their rocks off not listing bands like pearl jam.
It is obvious they have an agenda. They sprinkle in some hip hop because it is cool to them to like that and throw in all the indie/college radio albums.
I was surprised smashing pumpkins got on the list.
Not one mention of metal that i saw either.

Wow this list is ridiculous. I know pitchfork is about being cool and hip and all that but i think they have become so involved in their own "indie hipness" that they have completely forgot reality. I think its great that they shout out Wu-Tang and and Outkast and all that but come on. Weezer, Radiohead, and Nirvana are on the list and for good reason...but some of this is just stupid.
No Pearl Jam
No Alice in Chains
No Soundgarden
No Temple of the Dog
No Mudhoney
No Janes Addiction
No STP
No U2
No Oasis
There is no fucking way that My Bloody Valentine, Pavement, and Neutral Milk Hotel have been more influential and put out consistently good albums like any of these bands. Just because these indie albums sold 40,000 copies it makes them great. Sorry that 13 million people love pearl jam. I really think Pitchfork does this just to piss people off
Yes. Fuck you! Pavement are cool and I'd say that only AIC and Pearl Jam (from the list you made) have made songs that are aesthetically appealing in the way pavement are. Oasis and U2 are about the worst shit ever existed and it does not matter that they have influenced many commercial rock bands. Those predecessors suck as well! (wouldn't be surprised if you hailed Nickleback though)
The replies in this thread is very typical for narrow-minded hardcore-fans! Do you listen to anything that isn't associated with ed-fucking-vedder? I'm so ashamed of you! And Massive Attack derserves to be on any top 90-list!
I know it has already been pointed out that RATM didn't make the list. How in the hell is that possible??? Also, in addition to the other bands that should have made the list...how about the Toadies and Silverchair????

I don't know man, i just don't know.
I'm still wondering why Dubtribe Sound System isn't on the list, if Aphex gets not one but TWO nods.
And one for "Selected Ambient Works" ???
You already put The Orb at 100.
You really need MORE pointless background noise?
Seriously?
I had that album.
And i mean SERIOUSLY.
This song alone should have put Dubtribe on there: Mother Earth.
Not to mention their immensely influential live performances, all the love they radiated, and the parties they spawned.
If these retards had actually lived in the 90's instead of just having masturbated about them in their dormroom (like someone else said), they might know some of what the people on this thread are talking about.
As it is, it looks like they just picked this and that from this and that category to make it seem like they know what is what.

Love or Hate these Bands their albums were a huge part of the 90's
That's is an outrage.
i might rank it ahead of wu tang, but it's not better than ready to die. i might say doggystyle is better than all 3 though
These guys are so full of shit...their tongues are brown.
Although these albums are addmittedly good, more than a few of these have no place on this list and WE ALL KNOW IT!!!
This obviously is just another hack article written by bunch Inde-hipsters with a hard on for their own self image.
Omitting the obvious from this list is kind of like making a list of
"The 100 Most Important Events of The 20th Century" and ignoring WWII.
Don't pay these clowns any mind
They obviously hate themselves and all their readers.

I think the point is that if Aphex Fucking Twin is on the list, maybe pearl jam should be there too.
I mean really,
Richard D James is possibly to techno what Ten was to "Grunge", that is to say, oversold, overhyped, overblown.
Come on.
You have to admit this list is pretty snotty.
And at least as narrow-minded in its "hipness" as PJ fans are in their voracity for all things PJ.
