good list. i saw bb the king live about a month ago. the guy is amazing. age hasnt slowed him down one bit. and the dude is 80

In no order.

Sonic Youth - Sonic Nurse
My Bloody Valentine - Loveless
Nirvana - In Utero
Pavement - Crooked Rain Crooked Rain
Radiohead - Kid A
Weezer - Blue Album
The Velvet Underground - White Light/White Heat
Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation
John Frusciante - Niandra Lades & usually Just a Tshirt
Dinosaur Jr - You're Living All Over Me

No order
1.Beatles - Abbey Road
2.RHCP - Blood Sugar Sex Magik
3.Bongwater - Power of Pussy
4.Air - Moon safari
5. Motley Crue - Too Fast For Love
6. Motley Crue - Greatest hits
7. Ween - God Ween Satan
8. The creatures - Boomerang
9. Jane's Addiction - Nothing's Shocking
10 No Quarter: Jimmy Page and Robert Plant

ten is not very many, but i went based on solid album from start to finish. i'm thinking of changing out nothing's shocking because Thank You, Boys is pretty weak. I did Motley's greatest hits in addition to their best album ever because, if you can believe it, Live Wire, one of the best all-time crue tunes ever is excluded from their greatest hits. I think that's blasphemous.

9. Pixies - Doolittle. scratch nothing's shocking.

i feel much better now.

Limiting myself to only one album per band...

Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie & The Infinite Sadness
Radiohead - Kid A
Sonic Youth - Washing Machine
Pixies - Doolittle
Modest Mouse - The Lonesome Crowded West (well, either that or The Moon & Antarctica, today it is LCW, tomorrow it could very well be TM&A)
Matthew Good - Avalanche
Beck - Odelay (or Sea Change... can't decide again)
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Stadium Arcadium
Manic Street Preachers - The Holy Bible
Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon/Animals OR Pearl Jam - Vitalogy

if someone had enough time on their hands to actually tally which albums were mentioned the most, you might get sort of a quasi-sonic youth board's recommended albums list.

its hard to say but i'll try.....

the stooges- funhouse (number one forever)
sleep- jerusalem/dopesmoker
wu-tang clan- 36 chambers: enter the wu-tang
rocket from the tombs- the day the earth met....
neu- neu
wolf eyes- burned mind
big black- songs about fucking
boris- amplifier worship
black flag- damaged (actually i like the first half of the first four years best but the second half isn't great)

Husker du - ZenArcade
Screaming Trees - Invisible lantern
Radiohead - Amnesiac
Dirty Three - Ocean Songs
Sonic youth - Bad moon rising
Minutemen - Post mersh vol ? (Punch Line and Make a man start fires)
Flaming Lips - Oh my gawd
Dinosaur Jr - Your living all over me
Pearl jam - No Code
Meat puppets - Up on the sun

i dont usually like having to pick Ten records......its so hard to choose.
