Explain, please.

you'll thank me in years to come

i guess cause for my tastes they seem a little too high, like in the 90s list Trompe le Monde was extremely high, and it seemed out of place

Dinosaur was much higher then i expected, and happy it was higher then the Pixies, and MBV, well not sure if seeing them live actually reduced my enthusiasm for their recorded output

but it's not to say i didn't expect them to be that high, but i guess despite so many people's distaste for as displayed, the majority still rank them quite highly, and i am fine with the top 3, even if it's completely expected, just right after seems a little blah

but that's just my thought

this list is incomplete, as i haven't weighed in...i wasn't sure what the deadline was.

the deadline was kinda extended cause i was lazy about getting it up on thursday, and i was out friday, and was finally able to get it complied on saturday cause i was bed ridden recovering from the halloween festivites

The Pixies , man the Pixies they could write songs.
i don't see why so many people say it's music for "gays"???!!!
whatever i'll register as gay then cuz all their LPs rule in their own way. Great songwriting, great gtr, great artwork.

They've been brainwashed by Steve Albini.
Land Speed Record , woo-hoo , that's gay.

I know it was a bit much to hope for, but I was greatly disappointed to see no Wire. Galaxie 500 would have been nice too. Other than that, a pretty good list. At the very least I don't think I've ever seen a top 25 anything done through voting which contains more records I own and enjoy.

Wire being on a top 100 of the 80s list? I don't know. The Ideal Copy and A Bell Is a Cup Until it is Struck are both pretty good, but not even close to top 100 material in my books.

And I agree, Galaxie 500 deserved a spot on there. Ah well.

I was really hoping Sister would beat DDN. If only I had left it off my list.

as with the other, top 101 in order
