Hmmm...I'm going say "in no order" but the 1st 5 or 6 are about spot on (This list in no way reflects my sentiments up to and including one hour from now)
#1 DDN
#2 Loveless
#3 VU and Nico
#4 Bad Moon Rising
#5 Isn't Anything
#6 Doolittle
#7 Psychocandy
#8 Unknown Pleasures
#9 You're Living All Over Me
#10 Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain or Relationship of Command

and for the more "classic" rock 10

#1 Led Zeppelin (S/T)
#2 Dark Side of The Moon
#3 Blood On The Tracks (I'll call it rock)
#4 The Doors
#5 Led Zeppelin II
#6 The Wall
#7 Are You Experienced?
#8 Kick Out The Jams
#9 The White Album
#10 Disraeli Gears

1. Daydream Nation, Sonic Youth (A Thousand Leaves is my favorite, but it's
not exactly "rock"
2. The B-52s (self-titled)
3. Pretty Little Baka Guy, Shonen Knife
4. Master of Puppets, Metallica
5. Hell Awaits, Slayer
6. All Hands on the Bad One, Sleater Kinney
7. Zen Arcade, Husker Du
8. Abbey Road, the Beatles
9. Volume 4, Black Sabbath
10. Far Beyond Driven, Pantera

Is that the one with "Flowers Must Die" on it? Very god choice. I love the first Ash Ra Tempel LP as well. Whilst I'm on the Krautrock tip, have you heard the first two Amon Duul II albums? Both "Phallus Dei" and "Yeti" are wel worth getting hold of, if you're into your Kraut-Space Rock.

Geeze this will be hard. However, favourite rock albums:
1. Guided by Voices - Bee Thousand
2. Pavement - Wowee Zowee
3. Weezer - Blue Album
4. Dinosaur Jr. - You're Living All Over Me
5. Sonic Youth - Sister
6. Pixies - Doolittle
7. Built to Spill - There's Nothing Wrong With Love
8. My Bloody Valentine - Loveless
9. Pixies - Surfer Rosa
10. Cap'n Jazz - Analphabetapolothology


Honorable mentions:
Slint - Spiderland
Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation
Mogwai - Mogwai Young Team
Built to Spill - Keep it Like a Secret
Pavement - Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain (L.A's Desert Origins)
Sunny Day Real Estate - LP2

I left out some that could easily fit on my list:
The Cure - Seventeen Seconds
My Bloody Valentine - Isn't Anything
Ride - Nowhere
The Smiths - Meat is Murder
The Clash - London Calling
Public Image Ltd - First Edition
Fimbulwinter - Servants of Sorcery
The Scientists - Blood Red River
Sonic Youth - Bad Moon Rising
The Aints - Ascension

In no particular order. I left out a bunch that I wasn't sure would be "rock" enough.



Alice in Chains – Dirt
Queen Adreena – Drink Me
David Bowie – Aladdin Sane
Deftones – White Pony
Dir en grey – Macabre
The Beatles - Revolver
Jeff Buckley – Sketches For My Sweetheart the Drunk
Primus – Frizzle Fry
Sonic Youth – EJTNS
Wilco – A Ghost is Born

Phew, I'm not the only one here who like Primus!

Larry Lalonde is one of my favorite guitarists of all time. He's like the Charlie Parker of guitar--coherently weaves in and out of key and hits every note he needs to along the way. It's dizzying. Way underrated.

Fuck, they're all good musicians. Larry is very underrated in particular though.

Yeah, Les and Brain (or whoever they have on drums) are usually pretty admired, but I think Larry is the most talented musician in the band. Les and Brain are technically gifted, but I think Larry is about 75% of the creative force. Solo Les sounds "talented" and carries the humor of Primus, but it's not very interesting.

I mean listen at 2:10 on Mr. Knowitall. I wait the whole song just to hear it every time.

Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures
Killing Joke - Killing Joke
Sonic Youth - EVOL
Pixies - Dolittle
Velvet Underground - The Velvet Underground & Nico
Iggy & The Stooges - Raw Power
Metallica - And Justice For All
Loop - Heavens End
Big Black - Atomizer
The Damned - Damned Damned Damned

i should have included that in my list

yes


AND THE FLOOOOOOOWERS MUST DIE


the first song is the best...
light: look at your sun



oh i forgot

david bowie - aladdin sane
" - ziggy stardust

Primus may be the best show I've ever seen. Saw them stoned in a highschool basketball gym in Burlington Vermont. Les had goat horns and there were people diving into the crowd from the basketball hoops. It reminded me of the video for Smells like Teen Spirit.

Punchbowl is without a doubt my favorite Primus album, with pork soda and seas of cheese close behind. Excellent band. No melody, but amazing.

Another band that is great is Meat Puppets. They made what could be the best album ever if you ask me

Amon Duul II is pretty cool. I love the song " I want the sun to shine ". That has to be one of the best musical recordings I've ever heard

That's a really great way to sum up Primus.

No melody? Tritonics all over the place.

Hmmmmmm


Daydream Nation - Sonic Youth
Loveless - My Bloody Valentine
Youre Living All Over Me - Dinosaur Jr
Kid A - Radiohead
