After much thought...
1) System of Down - Toxicity
2) Jack Off Jill - Clear Hearts, Grey Flowers
3) Placebo - Black Market Music
4) Deftones - White Pony
5) Amy Winehouse - Back to Black
6) Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Fever to Tell
7) RJD2 - Dead Ringer
The Streets - A Grand Don't Come For Free
9) Marilyn Manson - Holy Wood
10) Lily Allen - It's Not Me It's You
I will prob disagree with it slightly after posting but I think that's a pretty good list. I didn't
just list my favs. Some weight was given to the influence of an album, importance within a genre and quality of production.
Honourable mentions go to kasabian (self titled) goldfrapp - seventh tree and eels - daisies of the galaxy.
I love DnB and prob should have included some in the list but like most dance music that genre doesn't really revolve around albums so much. The new Dom and Roland one coming out is probably awesome and would prob be on the list if I had actually heard it yet!!!
I think a lot of you will prob agree that this exercise demonstrates the 90s were much stronger for good music/great albums. Maybe a top 50 for the 90s afterwards?
