Surfer Rosa is from 1988, as is It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back.

Don't know if I can do this. I'm pretty bad at making lists.

1. john fahey - god, time, and causality
2. boredoms - vision creation newsun
3. sun city girls - torch of the mystics
4. slint - spiderland
5. thinking fellers union local # 282 - mother of all saints
6. gastr del sol - upgrade and afterlife
7. drive like jehu - yank crime
8. polvo - today's active lifestyles
9. mr. bungle - disco volante
10. boredoms - super ae
11. slowdive - pygmalion
12. shellac - at action park
13. the jesus lizard - goat
14. koenjihyakkei - viva koenji

20. royal trux - twin infinitives
21. the cows - cunning stunts
22. swirlies - blonder tongue audio baton
23. the dillinger escape plan - calculating infinity
24. melt banana - charlie
25. the melvins - bullhead

something like that.

forgot about this.. great, great album.
unfortunately the only one i've ever heard by them.

I had to double check because I thought for sure it came out in 88 or 89 but it actually came out in the 90's.

There are 1 or 2 SCG releases I like "better" but that's probably their greatest album, so I felt that was the one I needed to include.

1. slint - spiderland
2. john frusciante - smile from the streets you hold (atsonicpark, you still need to listen to this hah)
3. sonic youth - washing machine
4. melt banana - scratch or stitch!
5. the flaming lips - the soft bulletin
6. polvo - today's active lifestyles
7. rodan - rusty
8. shellac - at action park
9. built to spill - perfect from now on
10. deftones - white pony
11. weezer - pinkerton
12. melvins - bullhead
13. sun city girls - torch of the mystics
14. slowdive - pygmalion
15. the jesus lizard - liar
16. my bloody valentine - loveless
17. fugazi - repeater
18. boris - amplifier worship
19. kyuss - blues for the red sun
20. manic street preachers - the holy bible
21. richard youngs - sapphie
22. autechre - amber
23. red house painters - red house painters I
24. the dillinger escape plan - calculating infinity
25. bark psychosis - hex

Obviously not in EXACT ORDER. This was sorta hard. If I could include soundtracks then I'd put Howard Shore's soundtrack to Crash in there.

I forgot all about rusty.

And yeah I need to listen to that frusciante fuck.

Most people think the album's a joke... though I think it's beautiful. Hopefully you'll see my view on it.

You should see the reaction I get when I show the album to Red Hot Chili Peppers fans... they run a mile. Which also brings up another funny point, RHCP spend MILLIONS on their production... yet the majority of tracks on that album were recorded on a shitty tape recorder/boombox.

Most people don't hear the random bong sounds throughout the album hah.

d/l'ing now my friend.

My friend Greg, who's favourite bands include RHCP and Aerosmith, said to me a few months ago that he finally "got" the album and that it's his favourite album now.

I think we became better friends after that haha. Nice to see not everyone around my village is a close-minded idiot.

I've noticed more than one person nominate Melt Banana's Charlie over their vastly superior effort for Tzakik. Pricks.

Well don't look at me, I voted for Scratch or Stitch! Which no one will really agree with, but it's all opinion in the end.

It's a better call. I'm not disagreeing with it. But Charlie is simply the wrong choice.

lechaoscestmoi,

Just so you know, I PM'ed pantophobia my top 25 only. Sorry you are so upset that I listed a hundred that you felt the need to neg rep me and call me a "twat." I suppose it's not too far of a stretch to guess that you're a either a sexist idiot or merely an aper of those quirky Brits who quite boringly and routinely use "twat" as a derogatory term. Perhaps you are both. I refrained from any lobbying in the other best of '00s listing thread, but haven't here.

Watch your mouth kid, or you're gonna find yourself floating home.

Hah, awesome. atari rules.

bla bla i see that you are deeply hurt because of a neg rep, sorry for ruining your day... twat.

Can't be arsed to do more than 10:

1. Slint - Spiderland
2. MBV - Loveless
3. Mogwai - Young Team
4. Primal Scream - Screamadelica
5. The Second Tindersticks Album
6. Belle & Sebastian - If You're Feeling Sinister
7. The Delgados - Peloton
8. Mercury Rev - Yerself Is Steam
9. Arab Strap - Mad For Sadness
10. GYBE! - F#A#oo

Charlie is by far my fav. Melt Banana album, followed by Teeny Shiny. The Tzadik one -- is that the live album? Yeah, it's good.

derek, this frusciante album is fucking amazing.

Reminds me of a really heroined-out guy who decided to try to cover lick my decals off baby in its entirety after only hearing it once, with almost no production values whatsoever and no other band members to speak off. Great shit!

fuck it im just gonna make a top 25 and get rid of the ties

1. A Thousand Leaves
